Family Pictures by the SLC temple

2012-02-13T08:59:00.000-08:00

My old roommate Rebecca Fietkau took these pictures for us. Makayla didn't want to cooperate and Tanner's poor face was still red from his eczma.

The Rundown for 2010

2011-01-30T20:10:00.000-08:00

Okay, since people have told me I should update my blog and knowing how much we love to follow the Pierson's life through their blog, I have decided to give this blog thing a try. I will give you a rundown of 2010 and then try to be better at updating on a monthly basis.

Spring in Texas

Blue Bonnets

Makayla got a free cookie from the library for reading 600 minutes. We took her to her favorite spot to watch the ducks and eat her cookie.

Brad and Julie Bateman are two of Makayla's favorite people. They took Makayla to the Zoo one Saturday while mom had to work. She had a great time. It was hard for me to be without my girl for a whole day.

Makayla and Emma's last swim date before we left Texas.

Birthday Girl

2011-01-30T19:58:00.001-08:00

Makayla turned 2 this year. We celebrated her birthday at our Sidwell family reunion. She loved her princess cake. She got a necklace and bracelet from her mom.

Grandma Sidwell, Kamrie, Makayla and me on Independence day in Utah.

Happenings in Arizona

2011-01-30T19:43:00.000-08:00

We celebrated Frank and my birthday by getting free food. We drove around to three different restaurants on our birthday and got free meals.

Frank and I celebrated our third anniversary at Bennihanas. We each got a free birthday gift card for signing up on their website. These are the people that sat at our table with us.

We went to the Arizona State fair. It wasn't as big as the one in Texas. Everything is bigger and better in Texas, right? Makayla talked about riding on the Merry-Go-Round and "Bee" ride for a month afterward.

Tanner

2011-01-30T19:34:00.000-08:00

Tanner Laurence Paraboschi was born on October 27, 2010 at 8:04 p.m. He was 7 lbs. 10 oz. and 19 1/2 inches long. My water broke at 4 p.m. I took Makayla over to my sister's house by 4:30 p.m. We left for the hospital at 6 p.m. Frank was waiting at the emergency entrance with a wheel chair when we arrived at 7 p.m. and he was born an hour later.

Halloween

2011-01-30T19:16:00.000-08:00

Makayla was a flower for Halloween.

Makayla loves rainbows. She went with her dad trick-or-treating three times. At one of the places she got a rainbow painted on her arm. She thought that was the greatest thing ever. It was almost as great as the candy and that is saying a lot.

Christmas pictures

2011-01-30T19:11:00.000-08:00

Here are some of the pictures we took for our Christmas card this year. It was tough to find good ones with a 2 1/2 year old not cooperating and a 2 month old needing to go to sleep.

Gingerbread house troubles

2011-01-30T19:07:00.000-08:00

Every year we try to make a gingerbread house. We usually make the dough. This year we thought we would buy a kit so we could have a house and not a fallen shack. Didn't work. This year we couldn't even get it to stay standing. We still had fun. Makayla had the most fun eating all the candy that was suppose to go on the house.

Our Annual Nativity role play

2011-01-30T19:01:00.000-08:00

This year we acted out the nativity with my sister's family.

Jared was the donkey, Frank the sheep with the two shepherds riding on him, Roman and Brie. Makayla and Geneva are Kings and Kathie is Mary. I got to be the angel and narrator.

Christmas day

2011-01-30T18:14:00.000-08:00

Makayla told everyone for a month that she wanted a pink bike from Santa Claus. That was the first thing she saw under the tree Christmas morning. She was so excited.

She also got a kitchen set and an apron that grandma made her. It came at the perfect time because she had just recently started "making lunch" with the food in the pantry.

This is one of my favorite pictures of the day. Makayla was so excited not only for her own presents but also for Tanner's.

Our smiley guy with his monkey aunt Carmella gave him. Frank named him Mariano. After the famous Yankee relief pitcher.

Blessing Day

2011-01-30T15:02:00.000-08:00

Tanner was blessed on January 2nd. My parents drove down from Utah to be here. He wore a 6 month blessing outfit at two months. Frank is hoping he will take after his uncle Larry and be 6'3".

We had a breakfast brunch with my parents and two of my sister's families.

4th of July

2009-08-31T19:47:00.000-07:00

Frank was so excited that Kim finally agreed to go to the tea party on Independence Day. It was at South Fork Ranch, where the house from the show "Dallas" is located. It was so hot. We must have looked pathetic because some nice lady volunteered to buy Makayla a popsicle.

Makayla's 1st Birthday

Family Camping Trip

2009-08-31T19:37:00.000-07:00

We went to Turner Falls, Oklahoma to camp. Frank isn't much of a camper so Kim had to practically drag him there. He decided the next day after sleeping on the blow up mattress that it wasn't so bad. The falls were beautiful but the water was freezing.

Swim, Swim, Swim

2009-08-31T19:34:00.000-07:00

It is so hot in Texas. We swim at least once a week. Makayla gets covered from head to toe so that she doesn't burn.

St. Patrick's Day

Makayla's Christmas dresses

2008-12-20T09:09:00.000-08:00

You guessed it, eating the ornaments on the tree was more fun than taking the picture.
Makayla had such a hard time with that one shoe. She did not want to keep those shoes on.

Santa Claus

2008-12-20T08:57:00.001-08:00

Makayla patiently waited for Santa to come back from across the street where he was getting Gelato. She then looked him up and down before she started to cry. I don't think she knew what to think of a big hairy guy in a red suit.

A Visit to the Cousin's House

2008-12-20T08:50:00.000-08:00

Makayala and Bella are four months apart. I don't think Makayla knew what to think of Bella. My camera had been out in the cold car all night and the lense was fuzzy so I didn't get clear pictures of these two.

Julie's House

2008-12-20T08:47:00.000-08:00

Emma and Makayla sitting on Frank's lap. This is the outfit that Julie gave Makayla.

Jill's House

Makayla playing with Kamrie, Darian and Mekhi.
