Mack and Summertime

Mack has had a pretty crazy summer adjusting to so many changes, but we think he's done quite well.  The activities he loves most are riding in his red convertible, playing with his new dog, reading books about animals and cars (he can do more car and animal sounds than he can say English words), and taking any chance he can get to play with water...even if it's cold outside.  Here are some pics and videos of Mack recently:

This is Mack's stroller replacement.  We found this great red convertible at Goodwill and he loves it.  We also found this dog that barks and shakes and he thinks it's great.  So he's constantly grabbing our hands and leading us to either his red convertible for a ride or to make his dog bark.

 This pic was taken on a super hot 90 degree Sunday afternoon.  We have no A/C in Washington, so we got out our camping chairs and Rubbermaid buckets and left it up to Mack to cool us down with splashes from cup-fulls of water.  He had a blast:

Here are some videos of Mack:

This is a video of Mack at this fun water fountain near the boardwalk and shipyard...it was chilly that day.  However, that doesn't stop him b/c he loves playing in these fountains.  My memory card filled up while shooting, so this is all I got:

This other video is long and probably super annoying.  I was trying to take a much needed nap, and Mack wouldn't take his nap, so I got out the camera for all to see what Covey and I used to deal with.  We took down his crib the day after this video b/c 1. We were tired of the noise, 2. Mack was shaking out all the screws and ruining the crib, and 3. We needed to start conditioning him to a bed b/c the new baby will get the crib, so now Mack has a mattress on the floor, but he usually ends up just sleeping on the floor next to the door.

This last video was taken on that super hot Sunday that correlates with the pic above.  It's nothing too exciting, but another Mack video for those who want to watch it:

Hopefully I will be able to update my blog again soon....I hope to get my ultrasound in the next week or two and I will announce what we're having:)

Welcome to Washington

It's been awhile since I have updated the blog, and I really have been meaning to, so today I decided I better do it.  Most of you know we moved to Bremerton, WA.  

Here is a pic of Covey and I on the ferry to Seattle.  Covey was so excited to ride it, he was like a little kid.

  

We love it here. I am not a fan of the city of Bremerton mainly b/c the traffic lights are soooo long and I am really just tired of living in the city, but we love our home, yard, water close by, our ward, and Covey's new job.  So life is good.  Here are some pics of our new place:

This is the whole duplex:

 This is our backyard, which leads back into acres of wooded, city trails and we have lots of delicious blackberry bushes.  If anyone visits us, you will receive a complimentary jar of homemade blackberry jam;)

 This is our back porch area...I love it b/c Mack plays back here all day long.

This is our main living area: FR, DR, and kitchen...no stairs...everything is so easy to get to in this house:

 This is the FR:

 This is the kitchen:

 This is our bathroom:

 This is our bedroom:

 Mack's bedroom is about the same size, and I took these pics when he was asleep, so just imagine his room with a mattress on the floor, a changing table, and toys everywhere....then that would be Mack's room:)  I also am too lazy to add a pic of our front area where the carport is.  It's really not that exciting anyway, but that's Mack's favorite place to play b/c it allows him to run out in the street.  We're working on obedience right now....and probably for many more years to come.  

I am in the process of uploading Mack videos...so make sure to check out my other post:)

Mack's new faces:)

This is a random video of Mack.  He likes to make random faces that make me laugh.  ENJOY!!

Guess who's walkin'?

So Mack has been walking all week.  He even runs when Covey chases him.  Of course, he's not walking like Covey or I, but I'd say he's officially walking.  He walks whenever he can.  He loves it.  Here are some videos...they're not super amazing, but you'll get the main idea and most of you will see him in person soon, so you can see his amazing trick for yourself :)

One Step at a Time

It's been awhile since I've posted some Mack videos. Yesterday, he started taking some steps and has progressively gotten better. He gets quite distracted with the camera, so I have to hide it so he actually shows off his new moves. I also posted a couple extra videos. You can slightly see this in the videos, but Mack is also starting to figure out the definition of attitude and tantrum...Oh Boy! ENJOY!

Photobook

I found this awesome online scrapbooking company through Pinterest, and even though it's very basic, I feel like it's a great bang for your buck. I have spent every spare moment of the past 8 days working on this b/c if I completed it within 10 days of signing up I got a second book for free. I am all about freebies! Check it out. There are never before seen photos in here. Some I prefer others never to see, but they're part of important memories, so they had to be documented. Enjoy!
