Disney Day 1

We took a family vacation to Disney World May 30-June 5. We had a great time and have lots of memories. Makayla had been preparing for this trip for 2 months! Every day she would ask if we were leaving. The day finally arrived! We had a week packed full of Disney adventures.

Happy Easter!

Makayla enjoyed coloring eggs the day before Easter. She gets a little impatient waiting though. Pink seemed to take the longest, and that is her favorite color!

All dressed up in her new dress. She is standing on our deck that overlooks our backyard. We are excited to play in our new yard this summer! Daddy just set up her swingset!
Ahh! What a lovely family.

All ready for church!

Let's go!

Makayla's 3rd Birthday

On February 21, Makayla turned 3! Time sure has flown by. She wanted a Jessie theme from Toy Story 2. We dressed her in her Jessie Halloween costume. She has a hat but didn't want to wear it long enough to get her picture taken. Grandma A. really outdid herself with the cake! Mommy was even adventurous and made cowgirl hat shaped sugar cookies.

Cousins Madison, Noah, Elizabeth, and Anna were there to help celebrate.

Makayla's last present was a bike from Mommy and Daddy. She has been wanting a bike for a long time. Everytime we go to Walmart or Toys R Us she tries them out. She will have a blast this summer!

Sledding!

Scott and Makayla took advantage of the snow to try out sledding in our new back yard. We have a small hill that is perfect for sledding with a toddler. "That was fun!" she said. Let's do it again!" When I asked her if she was cold, at first she said yes. Then when I suggested she come in, she replied, "I'm warm!" They had a blast. And I watched from an open window!

Christmas at Home

Wuertley Christmas

Avery Christmas

Look what hatched out of the egg!

Scott and Makayla took a quick trip to the zoo on Friday while Scott got his car worked on. She looks like she had a good time with her daddy while mommy was at work.

Last year she was terrified to sit on the animals. Now now!

New Pictures!

We FINALLY have Makayla's 2 year photos. She cried when we took her in February. The photographer and I worked so hard to get a few smiles out of her, but I am pleased with the results. Next time I am taking a ball to play catch. That was the only way she cheered up!
