Poor McKenna, since she is the youngest sometimes she misses out on being documented on the blog. Being the fourth girl, I don't want her to think she is in anyway loved less than her sisters. I know first hand from hearing my own sister (being the fourth child) express how she was not captured on film as much as the rest of us. Sorry, Maren.
This poor girl was trying to get a ball from behind the speaker and got herself stuck. Her parents didn't come to her rescue until after they took the opportunity for this photo op.
Here's a close up. (Note: In no way was the child harmed or injured in the making of these photos. Just a little annoyed.)
These next few photos are definitely blog worthy. We had to document this moment. This is my darling nephew, Brenden. He is so sweet. In fact, I don't think I have ever met any nicer, kinder, more polite young men than my nephews. I'm sure people are tired of me gushing over these boys and how great they are to my girls. I love it. They are the big brothers my girls never had. My girls love them. There is one exception: McKenna and Brenden. Anytime Brenden even comes NEAR her she starts to cry and clings to whoever is holding her or reaches for the nearest person to her. She is not one to be afraid of strangers. In fact, she smiles at pretty much whoever looks at her, except for dear Brenden. We don't know why. Well, one night the Aunt, Uncle, and cousins were over for dinner and Brenden went to sit next to McKenna. We were so surprised that she didn't just burst out crying. After a while, she actually let him hold her. It was pretty much a miracle. I tried to capture it all.
He braved it by putting his arm over her chair. Look at the fear in her eyes. But she kept it together.
Then Brenden decided it would be a good idea to put this scarf on. (Don't ask me why) Doesn't he look pretty?
Here he is reaching for McKenna.
Look how happy Brenden is to be holding her. Too bad McKenna doesn't feel the same way. 
Actually he took her in the other room and played with her and she finally calmed down for a while. I was dying to go in and take a picture but I didn't want her to see me and ruin the whole experience for Brenden. He worked so hard. I'm glad it paid off. I'm sure years from now she won't even believe this story because she will adore him like her sisters do. I'm just glad I've got it documented so we can show her.

she is so darling...even when she's stuck! I feel the same way about Jaden. poor kid isn't going to have a single pictue to look at when he gets older. Question- who built your house. We are still house hunting and I love your carpet and cabinets. We need to move next door! Krish
OOOHHH!!! Come on over. We love new neighbors. Especially if they were you. What fun that would be. McCarr was our builder. They are just regular track homes, not like in AR. I didn't realize how good we had it until we left there. It may be AR but they build nice houses. Our house is a great price for the size. You can obviously pay extra for more bells and whistles. Like our carpet, we did upgrade for that and I am so glad. Our cabinets are just the standards so they make way nicer ones than that. Can't wait til you guys get out here. When are you coming house hunting. I hope you need a place to stay.
Your nephews are SO handsome that is weird that she is scared. SAD!! I can see her being scared of the red scarf especially if you have read her the 3 little pigs story. He could fit the description of the big bad wolf. JK
That Mckenna is so cute!

Krisha won my giveaway and I was just on my way to let her know. Tell her she owes you one!!
