Daddy's Juice

UH-OH!! Look at what Boo did to Daddy's juice! She took the entire case of drinks out of the box, and then took every label off! She was very pleased with herself:) When I asked her what she was doing she said "uh-oh....boo mess!"

Playspace

Boo and I went to Playspace today with Skylar and Wendy. It was the first time the girls had seen each other in over a week, so they were very excited to see each other! As soon as we got there, Boo took off towards the water! She loves playing in the water with all the different toys....even though the smock is 4x her size, she still manages to stay pretty dry:) After exploring every station, we went to the art room to paint! Mackenzie had a blast....she didn't want to leave!

Snow Day!

Boo saw her first snow today! Because of all the red mud around (from all the construction going on) we didn't go outside...but brought the outside in:) I filled up a huge plastic bin with snow and put it on the kitchen floor for Boo to play with! Her first reaction was "oohh cold!" She then decided to taste the snow to which she said "uhmm good...I more!" She was covered by the time she was done playing!

Dress Up

Boo LOVES shoes! She has such a great time putting on everybody's shoes and "running" around in them. Today, she found these shoes in my closet and decided to play with them. She was so excited when she realized that these shoes make noise on the hardwood floor!

Lollipop

Boo has found out where Grandma hides her candy stash (what a smart little girl)! So, before we left their house, we let her have a lollipop that she found! She was so happy and did a great job sitting still while eating her special lollipop!

Uncle Chris and the park

Mackenzie, Grandpa, Uncle Chris, and Daddy all took a walk to the park in Grandpa and Grandma's neighborhood after opening Christmas presents. Daddy took a lot of pictures at the park, but this picture seemed to be the best! Boo sure likes to play with Uncle Chris!

Christmas #3

On the day after Christmas, we went to Grandma and Grandpa's house to celebrate. Mackenzie was able to see her Uncle Chris, Aunt Jamie, and her new cousin Mia there too! After she helped Grandma pass out all the Christmas presents, Mackenzie took her seat in the big chair and started opening her gifts. Her favorite thing was the new doll house she opened! It had to come out of the box as soon as she unwrapped it!

Christmas #2

On Christmas day, we went to Grammy and Dub's house to celebrate. Aunt Cathy, Uncle Kyle, Aunt Kristy, Uncle Chris, Thomas, and Lulu were all there, so it was nice. Mackenzie loved playing with her new baby doll and kitchen set! She really enjoyed playing with the new bike Thomas got also:)

Christmas #1

When Boo woke up Christmas morning, she saw that Santa had come and left her many, many things! As a "tradition" in my family growing up, the first picture taken was of her sitting on the steps, waiting to see what Santa had brought...then it was a race to see how fast she could open her presents. She was very excited about her bike and her new train set!

Christmas Photos

Here are a couple pictures of Boo taken infront of Mom and Dad's Christmas tree. We all got together the other week so that Mom and Dad could take their picture with the grandkids for their Christmas photo....this has to be the first time in 30 years that their Christmas photo was NOT of their kids! Thank goodness for the grandkids:)!!!

Oh, and for those of you wondering if you will be seeing a picture of Mackenzie with Santa, not this year:) We have taken her 2 times to 2 different malls to see him, and everytime we get close, she throws a fit! Oh well, maybe next year:)

Mackenzie's Year in Review

It's hard to believe that 2006 is almost over! Here are some pictures of her that we have taken over the year! Enjoy:)

One Eye Boo

Last month, Boo had a bug bite on her eyebrow of all places! She didn't care, and it didn't seem to bother her in the least bit! But, for about 2 days, her eye was swollen big time....it looked like she had been punched in the eye! So of course, I had to take her picture:)

Happy Halloween!

Mackenzie and Thomas went Trick-or-Treating together last night for the 1st time! They were so cute running up and down the sidewalk carrying their pumpkins! We went to about 10 houses before they showed signs of being done:) Thomas loved eating his M&M's, while Boo didn't want anything to come out of her pumpkin!

New Cousin

Mackenzie has a new cousin! Mia was born really early Saturday morning, and is doing great! When Mackenzie saw her new cousin in the hospital, she would point to her and say baby! I keep showing her the pictures we took from that day, and everytime she sees them, she gets really excited and yells baby....she has also been trying to say Chris, since Uncle Chris is in the picture with the baby:)

Pumpkin Farm and Hay Rides

I took Mackenzie to her first Pumpkin Farm this week, and we were lucky that Grammy was able to go with us! This farm had so much to see and do! She played in a bounce house, went down an 80 foot slide (with Mommy of course), saw goats and ducks, and took her first hay ride! She LOVED the hay ride! She didn't want to get off, but did when she saw all the pumpkins in the field. We had a great time at the farm!

My Gym

Every Thursday, Mackenzie goes to My Gym. It is this cool place where she can do gymnastics, climbing, etc. As soon as she gets inside the gym, she takes off RUNNING. Her favorite things so far seem to be the trampoline, the swings, and the ball pit.

Mud Pies

After dinner, we like to take Boo outside to play. One day last week, after dinner instead of playing on her push toys like she normally does, Boo decided to play in the dirt across from the driveway. She quickly discovered that there was a huge puddle she could splash in! Long story short, Boo had her first experience making mudpies.....and she had a blast!

Sleepy Dinner

The other night, Boo was in her high chair eating her dinner, while Greg and I were in the kitchen trying to figure out what we were going to have when we noticed that Boo wasn't making any noise. We turned to check on her, and she had fallen asleep in her yogurt! She must have been worn out!
