MacKenzie's Curls

Mom, I mean Katelyn

I guess she does look like she could be their mom:)

Notice the book Sierra. Do you remember calling me asking, "what happened to Shere Khan"? He run away a Mogli.

YW Tie-dyed shirts part one

We did these for mutual last night. We will iron on "BE Strong" next time. Whacha think? They turned out awesome huh! Okay so I didn't get pics of ALL of them, but they turned out SO good.

Kennedy's "Mom hair"

Kennedy needed a hair cut and asked to have it "short in the back so I can stick it out like yours". A child after my own heart.

The hair lady ("lady" seems old, she's like 24) fixed her hair all nice, but tomorrow... we'll try a little party in the back.

PS: She turns 5 on Friday.

And I just saw this on my friend's blog. Cute little videos of Grayson and his girlfriend. This was how Katelyn babysat while Justin and I were on the cruise... she delegated! Ha!

Hunting Day

And as they left the first thing that came to mind was,

"Bunch of red necks".

Notice Chloe's excitement. Looks like she's already been run over by a truck.

Did I ever show you the mural on the kids wall?

I don't think I did. I thought there was going to be a dresser in front of it and thus you have a floating lion... what do you do. But hey, much more interesting to look at than the white walls they used to be.

And while we're stuck inside this week I've found the kids like this. It seems like they've been wearing the same jammies for the past 3 days.

And Grayson's always there to mix things up. Okay I'll admit it I put the tutu on him, but look how happy he was to wear it. He only has so many years until his friends will start making fun of him. Gotta live it up while you can!

We've got a little Tom Cruise

Ring pops and sunglasses in the dollar spot @ Target.

And a package of Thomas panties, I mean underwear.

Just practicing his slide.

Mom's clown name is Lavendar

Grayson doesn't have a "clown name", but he's learned how to paint his face all by himself.

And I tried to make this stupid wreath... it didn't hang like the thrifty girl's. I'm not so proud of it, but it took some time to go get everything so they're stayin' put for a few more days unless I can figure out some awesome ribbon situation.

But this picture looks goofy to me, but I tried the same idea on this frame and I really liked it. It was black. Sprayed it ivory and glued the rest of my lima beans on there. Not too bad.

Grayson and his ball, it's in the blood.

Here's Justin with the basketball.

But Grayson has a soft spot for Mickey.

The big cruise the one where I forgot to take my camera!

For those who don't know, I just turned 30. And after years of hating my birthday I made a resloution last year to never hate it again. So last year I got Disneyland passes for the whole fam and this year Justin and I left the kids and went on the cruise. First stop was Catalina. So beautiful and the weather was perfect.
The water was so clear! We HAD to go snorkeling and with the water being a good 55... I needed all the wet suit get up. We're talking wet suit, booties, hat, gloves... you get the picture (and you'll have to have an imagination because we didn't take a pic of that). Justin and I suited up and walked over to a little cove and jumped in. We could see for at least 75 feet! So pretty.

The new dog... like I wanted one in the first place

But if I am going to have a dog I must admit so far she's my favorite. She's a chocolate lab who we now call Chloe. The people at the pound said her name was Cindy. Really? That's not a dog name.

So far MacKenzie seems to have trained her to sleep in bed with her. Although that rope tied around the bed sure does help.
