Makenna Turns 6!

Another busy week in the Dombeck household...

We started with Makenna turning 6 on Sunday so we had a big party of family and friends for her at our house. The weather was a little cool but the sun was shining so the kids did get some play time outside.
Makenna also go to be Super Star of the week at school this week. On Monday we filled out a sheet of all her favorites to share with the class, took cookies to school for her class and she also came home with a star sticker on her shirt that said it was her birthday as well as a birthday hat.  Tuesday she took pictures to share with the class, Wednesday I wrote her a letter that the teacher read during snack time, Thursday she got to take 5 things for show and tell and Friday she got to bring a snack and I got to go in and read her favorite book to her class. She had a wonderful week!

Tuesday we helped my good friend Paula celebrate Adoption Day for her son Marcus!  We attended his adoption hearing and then took the kids to Monkey Joe's to celebrate. Paula's daughter Maddie was adopted 6 years ago and Marcus was placed with her when he was 7 months old and now his adoption day arrived.

Ready to go hunting Dad!

Robbie has started trying out his little potty in the bathroom this week! He is interested in it so we will see where it goes, I don't expect him to be out of diapers anytime soon but it's a start in the right direction. Derek has started bow hunting and got a doe last weekend. Robbie is also liking his camo attire for fall!

End of Summer

Wow!
Where has the time gone...I looked at my last post and that was July, Sorry people!
We have had a very busy summer!

We took in as many Rodeo's as we could in our area and did some camping. We had a trip to the Milwaukee zoo and a trip out to Green Bay for the Miracle Baby Celebration and took in the zoo there as well. Makenna tried T-ball this summer. Mom and I took the kids up to Minocqua WI for an overnight stay, late summer get away. A couple weekends ago Derek and I had a Mom & Dad get away of our own and spent a long weekend in Nashville and attended a PBR (Professional Bull Riders) event. Derek and I also got to go to Lambeau Field and watch our beloved Packers beat the Chicago Bears in a Thursday night game!

So with all that going on plus everyday life with 2 kids seems I have gotten behind on my blogging.
Now with the weather turning cooler and Makenna in Kindergarten all day I may have some more time to keep things posted.

The kids are both growing and changing so much...

Robbie is talking a lot. I don't think there is anything that he doesn't say or at least try to say. Now granted it's all not prefect but for his age and only being in the USA since March I would say he is doing awesome!
He had his first real haircut this week and looks so much older now. He is still very attached to Mommy and doesn't let me out of his site for too long. He is getting much better about riding in the car and that is a big plus as we are a family that is always on the go.

Makenna started Kindergarten on Sept. 4th. She rides the bus to and from school. So far so good. Other than being a bit more tired and realizing that she can't go and do with Mom all day like she used to. We will see how many years it takes before school and riding the bus are not so fun. Our little Miracle Baby turns 6 on Sunday!  Now I would really like to know where all that time went!
