Love my girls

Today was blah!!  We were supposed to close on our house today and instead we found out it could be another 3 weeks!! Boo!  I'm so over this process but also proud of how strong I have been!  There hasn't been one breakdown or crying fit--I've done good!!!  This morning I must have been quiet in the car and Kenzie out of the blue said, "don't be sad mommy, I just love you".  Be still my heart!!!  I could have melted right then and there!!!  Work was even more blah---so much drama!!!  I picked up my babies and we headed to the park to enjoy the cold front we had today!!!  Hey, I'll take a day in the 80's any day over the 100's we have been having!!!

 Kenzie started running around with her hands in the air saying "come here, I'm gonna get you".  I thought she had gone crazy.  I finally found 3 dragon flies that she was chasing.  Oh to be young and chase dragon flies again!!


We came home and ate dinner.  Madison had her second day of sweet potatoes.  She loves them.  I must be out of practice though because she wears more of her food than she eats.  It's so funny to think back when I was first feeding Kenzie foods.  I would have her dressed cute and with a bib.  I was so careful to keep her face clean.  Poor Madi gets stripped down, no bib and squirted off in the sink afterwards.  She is so crazy with her hands and always tries to grab the spoon.  One time the whole spoon flew up and landed on her head.  

Scotty and I spent the night looking at houses in the area.  We are afraid all these set backs and issues are a sign that maybe this house isn't for us, or that they will continue holding it for us.  We found a couple that we like and are going to see them tomorrow!!!

Makenzie is "whee"

I can't believe my sweet girl is 3.  She is so fun.  The sassiest, funniest, most loving, smart, kind, and wonderful kid ever!!  I am so blessed to be her mommy!!!

She took cookies to school today to share with her class and she was so excited carrying them in this morning!!  After school we came home to change clothes and feed Madi.  She got to eat sweet potatoes tonight.....and loved them!!



 It was very messy.  Every spoonful she ate we had to lose a layer of clothes!!!  She loved every bite!!  Makenzie wanted to try it too....
She was not a fan.  One bite was all it took for her.  After Madi was fed we headed to Chuckee Cheese to surprise her for her birthday!!

She was so excited when she realized where we were going and even more excited when she saw Bebe, Papa, Korie and Dallas sitting inside to surprise her.  Shannon and Presley came a little later and Daddy even took a break from work to come play!!!  We ate pizza, played games and opened some presents. 

Madison was so sleepy and it was past both of their bed times so we headed home!!!  I would say she had a wonderful birthday.  I still can't believe I have a three year old!!

Makenzie's birthday party

We celebrated Makenzie's 3rd birthday today!!  It was so hot, but she had a blast and that's all that matters.  The party was at a little petting zoo and there were lots of animals for the kids to feed and pet.

















 We are so blessed to have so many wonderful friends and family that love us and helped celebrate our sweet girls birthday!!  I can't believe she will be 3 years old in two days!!

A little catch up

Kenzie loves to help feed her baby sister.  When Madi is giving me a hard time about taking her bottle, I get kenzie to come help and she instantly will drink her bottle!! Madi loves her big sister!!
Saturday we went to Bebe and Papa's house to visit for awhile.  We all took a nap together and then papa snuggled up with Madi.
I caught Kenzie playing one night.  I can't believe she still fits in the bumbo!
Kenzie and I finished making her goody bags for her birthday party!!  She helped stuff them with candy!!  She is so excited for her "Porta potty".  This is exactly what she sounds like when she says birthday party!!
Her birthday party is today at a little petting zoo!!  It's supposed to be the hottest day of the year so far so it should be fun!!!

Oh s***

My little sweet angel said her first unprovoked 4 letter word.  She was playing with some cars and I was half watching - half facebooking and heard "oh s***, s***, s***, s***".  I looked up and asked her what she said.  She said "I said s***".  At least she was honest!!  I tried my hardest to hide my smile while telling her that's an ugly word and she can't say it.  That is my go to phrase so I'm going to have to watch it!!!

Sunday Funday

Today we celebrated Bailey turning 4.  We went over to their house and played and swam and had a great time



They had a fun water slide, but Kenzie wasn't too sure about it.  If she would have gone up it just one time I know she would have loved it.  It was a fun party!  We met up with Scotty afterwards and did some shopping and then went out to eat!!

First half of the weekend

Kenzie had a head on collision at school on Friday.  Her and another girl were running and slammed into each other.  Kenzie went headfirst on the concrete and the other girl slid on her knees.
Poor girl.  I was already picking her up from school to take her to the doctor for a weird rash on her arm, and her teacher was just about to call me.  This girl is so accident prone.  Her doctor said her head looked "fine" and just to put some ice on the big green goose egg that was already coming out, and the rash she isn't so sure about so we are going to watch it.

 Madison finally discovered that she LOVES the rice cereal.  She ate a whole bowl.  It is definitely a messy task but she is so cute.  Kenzie even got to feed her.

We went out to eat with daddy when we finished feeding Madi.  Our favorite.....mexican.  We ended our night with ice cream.
This morning we headed out bright and early to go watch my nephew, Caleb, play soccer.  He is amazing.  He scored 2 of the goals and I was so impressed with how aggressive he was.

We met up with Shannon, Presley, Koko and Dallas for lunch and some shopping.  These 3 are so crazy together.  Lots of running, squealing and laughing.



I guess we wore them out because Makenzie and Dallas passed out in the car on the way home.  Not sure how Dallas kept his head like this.....

Sweet, sleepy babies.  Shannon found a rug on a facebook site so we went by and picked it up for $25.  I really like it.
It's the same size as the rug I just bough but isn't as "busy".  I'm pretty sure I will take the other one back and save myself a lot of money!!!
