Saturday
The first good news of the weekend happened early Saturday afternoon when John got home from taking his GMAT!! I was a little worried and anxious all morning because John hadn't slept very well on Friday night, but he came home with good news. He did really well, and scored right where he wanted to, which means a couple of things for us. First, he doesn't need to retake it, (i.e. he gets his life back, and I get my husband back!) secondly, he is right where he needed to be in order to get into a top 20 school, which was his main goal. I am so proud of him for studying so hard, and we are both excited to be done with the whole thing.
To celebrate we went out to a nice dinner, and then came home and watched the Nebraska game. They lost, but Makenna looked cute in her little Husker cheerleading outfit, so we still enjoyed watching the game.
Sunday
On Sunday morning, John asked me to make cookies for his Home Teaching appointments later that evening. Usually this is a pretty easy task, but this time I had a little "helper" that made things a little more difficult.
First Makenna just sat next to me on the counter, which worked out okay.
Then she wanted to play in the sink while I did the dishes.
Well then she decided that it wasn't enough to sit next to the sink, and she climed in.
And tried to drink the water.
After soaking her shirt, I gave up and just got her undressed.
She quite enjoyed this, and spent the next 30 minutes playing in the sink.
(I have since regretted letting Makenna play in the sink, because she is now obsessed, and that is all she wants to do!)
Our next BIG news of the weekend is that Makenna started walking!! Makenna had been taking one step here and there, but at church while John was watching her, she took 4 in a row. Then on Sunday evening while John was home teaching, she just started walking!! I was shocked, because she is only 10 1/2 months old, and I just figured she wouldn't walk until she was about 12 months old. Here is some video of her new skill (sorry no sound).

Makenna is so cute. How fun that she is starting to walk! Carden is starting to crawl and it is so entertaining! I just love watching them learn new things!
Congrats John...and Makenna! Wow what wonderful news! I love the pics of Makenna in the sink...too funny! Miss you.
Makenna is the cutest thing, and I'm VERY impressed she's already walking...genius child! That's great the gmat went well...now off to Chicago? I think southern Utah would be good for you guys too :)
What a cutie :) I love those first steps when they're so unsteady. Also, that sink escapade is adorable!
And, Congrats John! That's awesome!
I can't believe she's walking already! She is just adorable.
Yay Makenna! I love the wobbly steps--she is too cute! And the whole sink ordeal is hilarious! : ) And Congrats to you John! What a relief!
Looks like life is on the move for you guys. Makenna is getting so big. She looks adorable in all the pictures and the video. Glad to hear/see you guys so happy.
I was just gonna ask, are you happy to have your husband back? We knew he'd do a great job! PS those cookies were sooooo good! We gobbled them up as soon as John left. I think the kids split one and we devoured the rest. hehehe We're suckers for treats! :)
Jump that gun, Makenna! Hooray! This will be fun for you two...
such a cute husker outfit! (sorry to hear they lost). thats awesome to hear your husband is yours again and that he attained his goal to be able to get into a top 20. thats got to feel great for both of you. any preferences as to where you want to go?
good luck with the walker. so early! yikes--youre in for trouble! :) i wasnt too excited when jonas learned. i tried velcroing ankle weights to each leg to slow him down, but i think that backfired. he just got stronger legs.
