In New Jersey

So here is how I found my husband and daughter this morning...
How cute is that...

They decided to cuddle when I got up this morning.

We are in New Jersey now with Adam's family for the Thanksgiving holiday. We have been on vacation for a little while so that is why haven't really blogged much. Mackenzie is a jet setter and will actually be traveling even more in a few weeks. We are going back to NC for the Christmas holiday.

Keep Rollin' Rollin' Rollin'

Ok, first of all that is Meredith's title. I would have put down as the title, POOR DADDY ADAM. That's right my daughter has decided to put on a great show for Meredith's family but for some reason, she won't do it for me (I was sleeping, yeah I guess that's what I get for being lazy). Ok watch the video below and you will see what I have seen. JUST A VIDEO!

NC, That's Right NC!

Well Meredith and her mom are at it again.  That's right we somehow have landed our traveling family in NC for a weekend of fun.  Papa Bruce had not seen Mackenzie in person yet and so for a great surprise we decided to show up in NC.  Papa Bruce was astonished as we walked down to the baggage claim because he had expected to see an old friend from Texas.  I am sure that Meredith will explain in another blog at some point, but I thought you would need to know that we are in NC for the next blog, so stay tuned.

Real Quick

I have noticed a lot of people have made this mistake and I guess it is mostly my fault for naming my daughter something with so many spellings, but Mackenzie is spelled with a lower case k. I guess the capital K reminded me of a last name and so did the McKenzie or Mckenzie without the A.

Just a thought so everyone knows. And don't worry...all of you who have spelled her name with a capital K I forgive you!

Go Cougars!!

Mackenzie wanted to cheer on her Cougars, while they played the Aztecs from home in her BYU onesie!

She is even trying to smile for the camera.





With the Boys

All I have to say is you never know what can happen when you give your child to 2 guys.



They decided it would be fun to do her hair. You can tell she is not very happy! She likes to look beautiful, but here...not so much.

Smiles and Tears

Mackenzie is finally smiling! I have tried so hard to get a picture of her smiling, but it is so hard to snap a shot at just the right time. Here is one I got last night...
Yeah, she was smiling, but I took the picture a few seconds late. I will keep working on it.
Also, with these smiles, she also has completely gotten her tears. When she cries, tears just run down her face. It makes me so sad to see them. No, I don't take pictures when she is crying so I don't have one to show the tears, sorry.

Mackenzie at a month

Mackenzie is now 5 weeks old. I can't believe time is flying so fast. We took her to the doctor's office yesterday just to weigh her and she has gained weight. She now weighs 8 pounds 10 ounces. She is getting so big!

The night before Mackenzie was officially 1 month, Adam and I were in the mall and decided to go to Build-a-Bear and make her a birthday present. We made a really cute bunny rabbit that even has pink bows on her ears. It supposedly is 18 inches long, so we laid Mackenzie beside it to take a picture. So this is her at 1 month. My sister-in-law had the idea to take a picture of her little boy every month beside the same teddy bear to show how he is growing, so I am going to start doing that. I just wish I would have gotten a picture as she was a newborn.

Going to Church

This Sunday I got such a cute picture of Mackenzie. We put her in a dress that my mom brought out when she came for her birth. It was so precious. Here are a few pictures of us on our way to church.





An interesting weekend

Adam and I had friends come up from St. George this weekend and it was definetely interesting. They have a 7 month old little boy and then Mackenzie is a month and Cassie and Jonny's little girl is a month also. When we all got together before these babies we used to go have fun and do things around town. Now we just "hang out" and sit at home talking. It is really interesting how your life changes with little ones. The only thing is I forgot to take pictures! But oh well, we had a great time hanging out and I am glad we got to see them again.
