My First Pedicure

At 18 months of age - Mackenzie enjoys her first pedicure. And she insisted I take a picture of her face as well - she kept saying CHEESE when I pointed the camera at her feet.

Mackenzie's Playhouse

the new addition
knock knock - Who's there?

Thanks to Aunt Kate's good bargain hunting - we added a new Little Tikes addition on to our house this weekend - and Mackenzie could not be happier!! Unfortunatly - we didn't have the camera out yesterday when we got it all set up - Foster kept sticking his head in the windows like it was a stable - and Mackenzie would yell "NO - MINE" at him.

Karting

So it just happened to be PERFECT timing that MarioKart was released for the Wii the same week that I was home from school on my "not so glamourous spring break (w/ severe ankle sprain)" and Jamey had his hernia surgery that week as well. So as we sat doped up pain killers and iceing our injuries - it was quite easy and convenient to play. And so the addiction began......

Unfortunatly - Gracie, Mackenzie & Parker have not figured out how to work the camera well enough to take a pic of all 4 of us playing - as is our fave way to do it. But Mackenzie does enjoy getting in on the fun too, when there is an extra wheel around for her!

If you are looking for one of us and can't get ahold of us - this is probably where we are!

Happy Memorial Day!!

Mackenzie enjoys some Memorial day refreshments.....don't worry - it was not open!! We have had a wonderfully relaxing and fun weekend with friends - retirement party, bridal shower, graduation party, trip to the boat, fish fry and lots of Mario Kart!! An excellant way to welcome the start of summer.

The Potty

So awhile ago, I bought a potty seat for Gracie to use when she is here....and start exposing Mackenzie to the idea as well. Mac took to the potty seat idea like a duck to water! She enjoys sitting on it, but it is WAY more fun to play with! She also enjoys taking it to Daddy and saying "daddy potty now" - unfortunatly, he is a bit big for it.

the Dinner Party

Mackenzie has been getting lots of use and enjoyment out of her personal dining set lately. Anymore, she insists to eat her dinner there as opposed to the high chair. And obviously - Foster & Kitty are pleased as well - since it makes her scraps all the easier for them to scrounge (including her for a private dinner date when necessary)!! But I am sure she prefers it best when the table is filled with her friends. The girls certainly have fun together.....makes me wonder what it will be like when they are teenagers! (Mackenzie - the fearless one; Gracie - the talkative yet timid one; Elisabeth - the mellow and easy going one......Lord knows what they will think of together)

WARNING: Crazy Hippo on the Loose!

A crazy, hungry hippo got loose in the house the other night....be careful - she bites!!
