Happy Halloween!

She let us dress her up AND put make-up on her AND she wore her wings. What a great night! She was not too interested in the pumpkin insides, but liked watching her Daddy do it. I can't blame the girl. I don't like pumpkin insides myself. She had fun trick or treating at the few houses we went to and liked eating "sussers" (suckers). She really liked it when the kids came to our house too and said "kids, kids!" We had fun with her tonight. She was a cutie and even went to bed by 9:30....not too bad. I must add that her gorgeous costume was only $5 and brand new. Thank you sister for pulling it for me from the costume sale at the studio!

This video cracks us up. She's so rotten.

Goodnight!

A Little Conversation I had with Mckenzee Today

Kenzee: bru-er go?

Momma: brother's in Momma's tummy, he'll come out after Christmas.

Kenzee: m' out bru-er......m' out now!

San Antonio Vacation- Friday Part 2-Whales

Next, we went to the Shamu Show. The first picture here is of Kenzee waiting to see the whales. We were sitting in the splash zone, but after we saw the first set of people get splashed we high-tailed it out of there. You didn't just get splashed you got completely soaked. That would have been okay in the middle of the summer, but we didn't want to walk around wet the rest of the afternoon. Kenzee will tell you "whale spash me" but he didn't. We watched the splashing from way up in the stands. She liked the show very much.

San Antonio Vacation- Friday Part 1-Dolphins

Friday was the first day we visited Sea World. Mckenzee was very much looking forward to seeing the whale. We decided to rent a stroller which worked out nice. Out of character for me you say? I lysoled the whole thing and added a quilt that we brought which ended up being great when she fell asleep. This day started out a little chilly, but warmed up nice.






We started the day with the dolphin and beluga whale show. It was cute. I like dolphins. All the dolphins and whales we saw just seemed to act like big dogs to me. They loved on the trainers and begged for treats.





Although Mckenzee was intent on this show, for the most part, she did turn to her Daddy at one point with her hands out and asked, "da whales?" That was all she cared about at Sea World was seeing the whales. She still tells me every time we get in the car that she wants to see the whales.

Here is a video clip of the dolphins and the next clip is of the crazy jumping divers that made me nervous and I did not enjoy watching.

After the show we went to the dolphin feeding tank and that was a lot of fun. They are just so cute and friendly. I wish I had been braver about petting them. I touched one for just a second and it was very smooth. Chris was right at home. I don't think I got us feeding them on the video. It is just of them swimming if I remember correctly. Mckenzee liked seeing them, but they made her a little bit nervous.

San Antonio Vacation-Thursday

We left at nap time on Thursday to head to San Antonio. We stopped in Hillsboro at the Nike outlet because Mckenzee outgrew ALL of her shoes overnight. Chris had taken her to look for shoes earlier that morning, but didn't find any he liked....he's very picky. Mckenzee had woken up too soon from her nap when we made a stop earlier and when we got there she told us she didn't want to get out of the car, but we needed her little foot to try on shoes and so we took her in and a giant fit happened that left her sprawled out on the nasty floor of the store and her mommy pretending not to know her. Chris and I forced a pair of shoes on her to get the right size and then he took her to the car and I paid. She was fine once she got to get back in her car seat and had some sun chips. We made one more stop at the Payless Outlet where I found those stinkin' brown church shoes that I have gone to 4 paylesses looking for, thank you Connie and Stephanie for hauling me to two of them. The workers were even so nice to let me take them out to the car to try them on Kenzee and then I bought those suckers...the very last pair in her size.

We stopped in Austin and shopped at the UT store and got Mckenzee and Riley some things and some Christmas ornaments. (We collect ornaments from places we have been) The children's floor in there is so super cute, but they sucker you with high prices on those super cute things. We got Mckenzee a shirt that ended up not fitting and we got to trade it at the UT store in San Antonio, which we didn't even know was there, and Chris picked her out a cheerleading dress that was 50% off! It is so cute. I'll have to get her in it and get her picture up. After we finished our shopping we walked around campus some and took pictures and looked at the capitol buildign from a distance.

Chris loves visiting Austin and I like being there with him.

We continued on to San Antonio and got to our hotel around 8. We were very pleased with our room. Then, we walked across the street and had dinner at a Mexican food place called Aldaco's. We got free queso for showing our hotel key card and a free dessert...tres leches cake... because the hotel lady gave us a free dessert coupon. It was SO tasty and y'all know I'm not a dessert girl.

When we went back to the hotel we let Mckenzee pick a movie and we picked one too. This became a nightly routine. We would each pick out a movie to rent for free from the hotel dvd library. Mckenzee like that a lot. She was always so cute to study the cases to decide which one she wanted and she knew she could only get one and she would make her choice and put the others back.

Whale

DO NOT TELL YOUR TWO YEAR OLD YOU ARE GOING TO SEA WORLD UNTIL YOU GET THERE!!!!!

STUPID, STUPID, STUPID

We arrived at church on Sunday morning......

Mckenzee: "No, chuwch, no chuwch, whale." and as we get her out of the car...."no Da-ee, whale!"

Last night we were going to make a Sonic run. I told Mckenzee to go tell Chris that we were ready to go to Sonic to eat some ice.

Mckenzee: " 'mon Da-ee, whale."
