Halloween Fun!

We went to the Fort Rucker, Tot Time Fall Festival today. All the kids wore their costumes, it was so cute!!! Below is Mackenzie in her ladybug costume!

Mackenzie and Ada

Excuse me, I'm on the phone!

Just whipping something up in the kitchen!

Pumpkin Patch

Mackenzie and I met some of our friends at a nearby pumpkin patch. It was a really cool place with much more than pumpkins. My camera died before we got to the actual pumpkin patch, but hopefully I'll be able to get some pumpkin pictures later this week!

Bumpy Pumpkin!

Hey, that's my pumpkin!

Sheep say Baaaaa!
Crazy pigs!

Where did your hair go?

Try and catch me!

Pretty as a sunflower

Scottish Highland Games!

This last weekend we traveled to Atlanta to attend the Stone Mountain Scottish Highland Games! We got to see a lot of family and friends and despite the cold, rainy weather, had a fabulous time!

Mackenzie has her own Clan!
Staying warm!

Mackenzie shows her team spirit!!!

Mackenzie reveals that she's rooting for the Hogs over the Dawgs today!

Wooo--Pig--Sooie!!! Razorbacks!!!

15 months!

Mackenzie is 15 months old now (wiping a tear)! I've decided to now take pictures in the rocking chair every three months (mostly because I forgot the last two months, LOL). 15 months stats are weight- 25 lbs, 4 oz (80% percentile), height- 30.75 inches (55% percentile).

Labor Day!

We spent the Labor Day weekend at my parents' lake house with lots of family and friends. Mackenzie loves dogs and now calls all animals (regardless of gender) "Daisy" after one of the dogs. Poor Gus is now Daisy too! Here are some pictures from the weekend.

This chair is just right!

Cousin Elle!

Group Shot!

Drinking a milkshake on the way home (car was stopped).

Playtime!

Mackenzie is at such a fun age! She has such a vibrant spirit and loves to crack herself and us up! She really is a joy to be around. Here are some pictures of recent play times!

Silly face!
Playing in the laundry basket
Trying to get a group picture, not really working!What a profile! Hide and Seek!

Here are Mackenzie's 1yr. & 1mo. pics. They are a little late (as she's almost 14 mos. old now, but we've been busy!). They had to be taken at Papa and Mama Mac's (aka "Hol Bear") lake house as we were in Georgia at the time.

Someone's looking mischievous


Okay, these last two are just because she looks so cute!

Has anyone seen my horse?

Georgia Aquarium

We spent about a week at my parents' lake house and decided to go into town to visit the Aquarium in Atlanta. Mackenzie loved all the fish, especially all the big sharks and whales!

What's that?

Jellyfish are cool!

Hunter, Cole, Mackenzie, and Taylor

Neat sea horse!

1st Birthday Party!!!!!!!

I'm sorry for the long absence, there has been a lot going on and we've been out of town more than we've been in town. I also get lazy sometimes :) So here are some pictures from Mackenzie's first birthday party!

Ummmmm, is that mine?
Yummy!
Opening presents
Getting lots of help opening presents!
Look, I got ribbon for my birthday!

Mackenzie eats a Birthday Cupcake!!!

Mackenzie's first birthday fell on a Tuesday, so her party won't be until the weekend. It seemed wrong not to do something special on her actual birthday though, so she went out to eat (and was treated to a "birthday sundae"). Upon returning home, she opened a present from Mom & Dad, then had a little birthday cupcake! (It got MUCH messier!)

All prepared to get messy!!!

What could this be?!?

YUM! I think I like birthdays!

Whoa!!!!! One Year Old!!!!!

My baby's growing up! I can't believe she's one year old. We're having a party this weekend but we did go out to eat and gave her a cupcake to smash (Pictures coming)! Mackenzie is now walking like a pro and jibbering and jabbering all the time. She is such a blessing to our family!
(Sorry this is a day late, but I'm helping with our church's VBS and it just sucks all my time)

Playing with Gus!

Mackenzie loves Gus the cat! Gus just loves the attention, even if it's kinda violent (Mackenzie doesn't get the concept of gentle yet). Here are a couple of videos of them playing.

Mackenzie is Walking!!!!!

Mackenzie has been taking steps here and there, but on Monday she started walking on her own. She still is unstable but is starting to move pretty fast!!!!! Here are some videos!

Lake Time

We spent the very wet Memorial Day weekend at my parents' lake house in Georgia. We had fun despite the rain and freezing water!

Caught with the tupperware!
Why do I have to wear the life jacket?
I'm ready for the boat ride!
Picture Perfect!
Can I go swimming now?

Sprinkler Fun

I took these pictures off my friend Carrie's facebook page, so thanks Carrie! Well it's getting hot down here in lower Alabama so out comes the baby pools and sprinklers! We cooled off with some friends the other day and had a blast!

Look at Mackenzie standing all by herself!
Yea Elmo!
What is this stuff shooting up?
