Boy, Oh Boy

Boy, Oh Boy...I am the worst blogger. I have not updated our blog in a long time (as if you didn't notice).

BUT

Boy, Oh Boy...things are going to change around our home come next year. We are expecting a baby BOY! We are so excited!!!!!!!

So needless to say, I have been thinking and dreaming all things boy lately...

We thought we liked one particular name. Now that we know the baby is a boy, things have changed. lol! So the name game has begun.....how fun!!!!

I will be back soon..I promise...I have bunch of pics to go through and post from this summer and I'm sure I will throw in an ultrasound pic or two.

Until then, enjoy the beauty of this season..Oh how I love it! There's just something about the smell of fall in the air...and might I add, it's even stronger smelling when you are pregnant! =)

Mackenzie's 2nd Birthday!

Hard to believe, but our baby girl turned 2!

Happy 4th of July!

Visit to Ohio

The end of May, Mackenzie and I visited with my parents while Michael attended a conference in Kentucky. Although we were only there for three days, we made the most it.

My parents took us to the wild animal park which is only a few miles from their home. We love this animal park! It is a must see every time we visit. You actually get to ride on a big wagon and they give you a bucket of food to feed the animals when they come to the wagon. There are zebra, elk, deer, pigs, ostriches, water buffalo, cattle, bison, and more.

Baby Potbelly Pigs
They look big in this pic, but they are really small..only a couple of weeks old. Sooo cute! It was adorable to see them playing with each other.

As you can see, the animals at this park are not shy about getting fed!

Mackenzie decided that she needed two buckets...that is until the animals started to come up to the wagon and stick their long tongues in the wagon. She was not so keen about that idea!!!

While we were in Ohio, we got to spend some time with my brother Jerry as well. He came to my parents for a day. Everyone needs an Uncle Jerry...as you can tell!!!

Our Little Gardener

Mackenzie has taken on a green thumb. She loves to help me plant and water flowers. Whenever we fill her pool up, she spends more time using her snail watering can to water plants than actual "swimming" in the water.

Happy Mother's Day

I have been spoiled this weekend! Yesterday morning, Michael jumped out of bed as soon as Kenzie woke up. Before I knew it, Kenzie and Dada were in the bedroom with breakfast. Kenzie hopped right up on the bed and was smiling from ear to ear as if she knew exactly what was going on. She thought it was fun to eat strawberries in bed. =) I also received some beautiful flowers from Dada and Kenzie along with an adorable card. Then today, Michael took us out for a delicious brunch at a local restaurant. I am so blessed to be a mom and a wife. Thank you God for blessing me with Michael and Mackenzie.

Mackenzie has it all...her blankie (which for some reason, she now refers to it as her "baby"), her slide, and her diva sunglasses.....and.....



Her Daddy wrapped around her finger!
