Welcome McKenna Jane Sackett

Well, I have finally had a chance to update my blog! here she is!

Weight : 7 lbs 9 ounces
Height: 20.5 inches

DOB: 2/20/2008

As of right now she has light blonde-brown hair with some hints of red depending on the lighting and blue eyes. We will see at 6 months what hair and eye color she will really have. Mason loves his new sister. He wasn't excited at first but now has gotten the hang of it. When I get another great chance more pictures will come!

sorry guys no pictures, just an update

I promise I will have some more pictures and updates. Right now I just don't have time. So uncomfortable and ready to be done being pregnant. I only have 3 more weeks to go. And some people say i look like i have a few months to go, but believe me it doesn't feel like it. I am still carrying high and she is constantly in my ribs. My ribs have never hurt so bad before with Mason. She is going to be a fiesty one. Still a lot of heart burn so I can imagine a lot of hair! Scott and I still can't agree on a name but if it was Mason's choice it would be Minnie. He loves Mickey and MInnie MOuse and the Little Einsteins. anytime we need to get something done we put on his show and let it run for about 30 minutes to an hour depending on what we are doing. Thank goodness for TIVO!
Mason hasn't quite got the concept that a new baby is coming so I am so scarred on his reactions. He loves other kids and loves to help the other baby in the house but at first he attacked the baby. I call it "love taps". But we will see how it goes. Hopefully he will adjust well and fast. And he is talking so much. I love hearing him trying to say new words. Its not the full word but at least you can kinda understand what he's saying. Then there are those days that he just keeps repeating a word and i am like " honey, i still don't understand what you are saying" and he repeats the word even louder as if i said i can't hear what he is saying. too funny.
Scott's firm is picking up and doing well. I think he is very happy with the decision he made to go out on his own. He even still gets to do the things he likes to do : go fishing, hunting, golfing, church ball, and playing with Mason.

Well I hope everyone and their families are doing well and I will be sure to post pictures of our new family member and post pregnancy pictures soon. We miss everyone!

Mason's First Haircut!

I got tired of going to the stores and having people ask "How old is SHE?" and I would have to always reply "well HE is xx month old". He doesn't look like a girl in his football outfit or all dressed in blues and green. Such girl colors. Anyway, we had Grandma Connie cut his hair. I was a little nervous at first but we put on his Mickey Mouse Clubhouse video and he sat still and let her cut his hair.

Here we go...



Snip, Snip, Snip



Look at all that hair.




The final product....drum roll please.....a handsome little boy!

It's Official

Scott passed the Bar and was Sworn in on October 30, 2007. Sorry a little late with this blog. Here is my horrible picture of me pregnant, but good thing you can't tell. As of right now he started up his own firm and is taking referral cases, so if you know anyone that needs an attorney, by all means send them our way. He still is interviewing at different firms trying to get more money of course but for right now.....its all solo!

Mason's First Trick or Treating!

At first I thought Mason would be to young to understand...but he did quite well. We only went to the houses of friends and family and a ward trunk or treat. The people would give him a bowl of candy and say ok here have some and Mason with his little two pinching fingers would only take one piece of candy. And most of the time it was a yellow wrapper or a lollipop. At the trunk or treat a dentist was passing out toothbrushes. He loved that one. I loved his costume...OLD NAVY for $16.00 and some change. I got it in September so all the infant clothes and costumes were 25% off. Such a steal! If you can't tell he is a dragon. Well I guess I am going to have to get creative next year, for when I have two kids. There was a family at my work and she had a little girl dressed up a tinkerbell and the older boy was Peter Pan, the dad Captain Hook and the mom was Wendy. It was too cute!!

Fun at Wheeler Farm.

Mason and his friend Hayden went to Wheeler Farm's Scarecrow Festival. There they got to pick a pumpkin out of the pumpkin patch and paint the pumpkin. Then they got to ride a wagon pulled by a tractor through the farming land. They saw cows, pigs, sheep, horses, duck pond, river, and a lot of cool scenery. The ride at times was bumpy but went pretty fast. The mommies (Merilee and I) had to hold onto to our kids pretty tight (while trying not to fall off ourselves). They also had adult crafts and you could have built your own scarecrow. But we decided just to do the kiddie activities. It was a blast and the kids had a great time doing it! You know when the activity was successful is when you get home and your kids take a nap with no fussing!

Mason's first time bowling.

We went to visit Amber, Scott's little sister, in Pocatello, Idaho. If anyone of you have ever been there it is a very small place, but Idaho State is there and that is what brings Amber there. She plays softball for the team. What can you do in a little town....well eat, watch tv and go bowling. They did not have kid size bowling balls so we improvised with our balls (by rolling it with him). Mason did better than we did and he didn't have any bumpers! Good job, Mason!
