Mia's Party Slide

Kenzee had SOOOO much fun at Mia's 5th Birthday Party. Kudos to Connie for throwing an awesome party! Here is one video of Kenzee on the HUGE slide.

MORE AMAZING SNOW IN TEXAS!

My Little Snow Bunny

Thanks to Connie for this ADORABLE outfit that she gave me just today! Can we say perfect timing?!

Macy doesn't like the cold.

Our front bushes

Our house before I pulled the car in and messed up the perfectly white driveway. I didn't get the car in very far...it started slip slidin' all around and I had to leave it cock-eyed at the bottom.

Our street.

Our entrance...just thought this looked pretty.


Almost 4 inches in our yard. Wow!!!

Now THIS is More Like It!

Snow makes me happy!!!!

I think Chris wrote me this note so he wouldn't get in trouble for what he was about to do....or maybe just so he could get on the blog....either way I still liked it.

A Space to Call Her Own

This used to be my tupperware cabinet. When Mckenzee started crawling we introduced her to it. It was the only cabinet we didn't put a lock on. She could play safely in it and she felt like she was getting into something. It had since changed to include measuring spoons, empty spice bottles, and other containers. I decided today to just make it her space. We cleaned everything out together and wiped it down with baby wipes...she loves to clean. Then I asked her if she wanted me to get a blanket to put in there and she said yes "ya". then I asked her if she wanted a pillow. "Ya." She added her purse full of little toys and then I brought her some books. I started taking her picture in there and she was shaking her head at me. I asked her if she wanted me to leave her alone. "Ya." What a messer.

Our Walk Today

Mckenzee and I went for a walk this afternoon. I have to admit that I am a little bit frustrated that I cut the tags off of one of her Spring dresses from Aunt Sara and put it on her in FEBRUARY, but I figured we should make the most of this beautiful day. I had fun taking pictures of her and some of the cool sky. Being outside and seeing clouds and plants and things makes me feel closer to God.

Ready for her walk...giraffe, pillow, sippy cup and shades on. These are not our favorite sunglasses. Our favorites our lost...not lost and gone forever, but misplaced. These are our second favorite.

I like this one because you can see how her lips look just like her Daddy's. She had just had a bath.

Kenzee's Sweet Ride... her "cah"

I like "from behind"pictures

So serious

This is the face that knows she is doing something she shouldn't, (climbing the wall) but waiting to see how long she can do it before I tell her no.

My favorite one of the afternoon

Our Day at Fossil Rim Wildlife Center

I love going to Fossil Rim. We usually try to go once a year, but it had been about two years since we had been this time. It was Mckenzee's first trip and she had so much fun. She said "giraffe" We were so proud! We bought her a little stuffed giraffe to take home. That's a little bit of a funny story in itself. We picked out two $5 giraffes that we thought were cute and her size and we held them out and said, "Mckenzee which giraffe do you want?" She turned and ran over to a giraffe that was about as tall as she was and standing on it's own and picked it up and hugged it. This scenario happened more than once. Me, being the sucker that I am, would have caved right there and bought it, but Daddy knew better and we got her a little one. It is much more her size and will fit in her toy box. It was also easily hugged in her car seat on the car ride home.
Many of the animals will eat out of your hands if you are brave enough to let them do so. Chris is brave, but I start squealing like a little girl and just want to throw the food. The weather was perfect for driving with your windows down and walking around the children's animal corral. Okay, fun stuff, now on to the pictures and videos. Hope you enjoy.
