Fishing and Camping





We have had a lot of fun going camping and fishing so far this year. McKinlee loves getting dirty! She also loved playing with the worms that we used for fishing. She loved to put them on me to watch me squirm. Her daddy has taught her to play outdoors and to love animals, and not be afraid of practically anything. She is a very daring girl.

Cedar Breaks


We hiked up Cedar Breaks with some of our friends, and McKinlee actually did pretty well on the hike. I didn't think that she would make it very far, but she proved me wrong. I was the pregnant one that was struggling!

Fishing at Navajo Lake



Since we have moved to Cedar, we have picked up a new hobby....fishing. McKinlee absolutely loves it. Her favorite is when we catch a fish, and she can pester them in the water. We leave the fish in the water, just so McKinlee can play with them. Jordan and I told McKinlee that when she was COMPLETELY potty trained (FINALLY she gave in) we would buy her own fishing pole. So we went to buy one, and I thought my little sweet girly daughter would buy the "princess" fishing pole, but she was determined to buy the "cars" one. I pleaded with her to get the princess one, but she is a little stubborn, and gets her way. All Jordan could say was, "That's my girl." So now she fishes with a "Cars" (boys) fishing pole. She is quite persistent, and pretty cute to get her way.

We finally gave in




A bunch of our friends have been trying to convince us to create a blog, but we just haven't gotten around to it. Well the time has finally come, we have a blog. This will be fun to keep everyone up to date on the little events that happen in our family. To start, Jordan graduated from college (wahoo!) and he got a job in Cedar City working for the BLM. So we have a whole lot of change happening! McKinlee loves our new house, and is making lots of new friends.

McKinlee's love

A while ago McKinlee was given a dress from her Grandma (Nana), that she completely loves. We'll just say that she is a little obsessed. It's actually pajamas with a picture of Ariel. She loves this dress, and will wear it any chance she gets. She wears it every night to bed, and would wear it every day if Mom and Dad would let her. But she knows that she can only wear it at home, and if we need to go anywhere, she has to take it off. But she loves this dress! She is our little monkey.
