Camping with three

This last weekend was Makenna's first time camping.  We camped Friday through Sunday out at Lake Icaria.  Makenna slept all night both nights; mainly because she was awake more during the day. The kids had so much fun.  We took their bikes and there was a ladder game they enjoyed playing.  Matthew took the two older ones fishing.  From what I was told they didn't have the patients to sit and wait for the fish to bite.  Michael found a mud hole down the hill of the camper that was a result from a rain shower the night before.  Megan's  main concerns were S'mores, riding her bike, and Makenna.  Thank goodness for air conditioning; it was one hot and muggy weekend.  I'm glad that we can carry on the tradition of camping with family.  Those were the best times; fishing, paddle boatting, petting zoo, and the "bingo" song. The biggest difference for me is there is no tent!  I won't go back to that!  No more leaky tent and no more tent blowing down on me in a storm.  Just comfortable and relaxing camping.  Well some of the time. 

The newest member of the family

Makenna Grace Ramsey finally arrived June 7th at 12:57 p.m.  Weighing in at 7lb, 7 oz and 20 inches long.  She is such a good baby; about like her big sister was.  She is such a dainty little thing.  Her sister and brother love her alot.  They want to hold her all the time.  She a trooper and puts up with it.  Last night was our first night home and she slept really well, so mom and dad got their rest.  Megan, for some reason thinks her name should be Melissa.  We tell her she can't hold Makenna until she calls her by her name.  Michael is always wanting to know where she is if she isnt in mom's arms.  Its amazing how you forget how little they are when youre use to the older ones.  I hope you all enjoy the pictures and I will try to keep this up dated for everyone.

New Toy

Well, we happend opon a new toy we weren't planning on getting for awhile. A friend of ours called one day and said a person he was working for had a pool table they wanted to get rid of. It is a used pool table that was hardly used. So when we were in Altoona for Megan's friends birthday party, we decided to go look at it. After some debate we decided to buy it. We had talked to a guy at a pool table store about putting it together, and he didn't recommend us doing it ourselves. That may have been his opinion, but it didn't cost us $750 either. So when putting it toghter, we didn't relize that bees wax (used for the seams and the screw holes in the slate) was not a common thing to find. I did find some in a town north and west of here. Did you know not only is it hard to find but costly too? Matthew is definitly well rounded in about everything, because it didn't seem to be too difficult for him to put the table together. It turned out to be quite the stress reliever, and the kids make great spectators.
