Finally pics from NC

Mackenzie and I went to NC for almost 3 weeks and had a great time. We were able to go for my nephews baby blessing. I just have to say that I have the greatest husband in the world. I go to my parents house for weeks and he loves me enough to let me go without complaining.

We had so much fun!

Mackenzie played with blocks. Poppy even built a bridge for her to crawl under...



Kenz ran around outside after church while the family was all taking pictures...


Kenz got dressed up for halloween and went to the trunk-or-treat at church...


We went to the planetarium and Aunt Katie put on a puppet show with Kenz...

We went to the park...

Mackenzie was teaching cousin Kaden how to play with his toy...

She hugged him...

and talked to him...

Got lots of treats out of the pantry...

Worked on her abs...

and helped cook dinner...

What a great time!

Another Form of Torture

Who really likes Day Light Savings Time...
Teenagers
People without kids

I guess that is about it. For those of us with toddlers, infants, other kids that don't understand that we get an extra hour of sleep...this night is just torture.

Mackenzie went to bed around 9 (which is later than normal). I went to bed soon after because I knew it might be a very very early morning.

Then around 5 AM I hear little pitter patter footsteps in her room, a door open, and then a little girl showed up in my room telling mommy HAPPY GIRL WAKE UP!

What is this? 5 AM? She usually wakes up around 630 or 7. 5?!?!? There is just something about change, even if she doesn't know there is a change. She just never does what she is supposed to do!

But I guess I can't complain because she was really tired yesterday because I was trying to get her to take her nap a little later. She went to bed at 730 and then slept in this morning until 730. But 5 AM....IT WAS A LONG LONG LONG LONG MORNING yesterday!
