Montgomery Zoo

We went up to the zoo in Montgomery a few days before Christmas. We had a great time, with great weather and no crowds. Here are some pictures!

Kangaroos!

Here kitty kitty...

Ahhhh, this is the life!

I think she likes the tiger!

Our homemade leash!


Just hanging out!

Rhino (this thing never moved even when it started peeing)

Trying to get in the picture too.

Elephants!

Zebras!

Siamangs (they were so playful and Cole tried to feed them apples)

Mommy and Mackenzie on the train

More siamangs

That's the jaguar or cougar (I can't remember)

Flamingos!

Play Kitchen

So my parents bought Mackenzie a play kitchen for Christmas. Since we're going to be gone on Christmas day, we decided Mackenzie could open this present early!

All wrapped up!

Slowly ripping the paper!


Oh wow, that's a lot of pieces!

Done, only took 3.5 hours!

Playing with it the next day!

Making breakfast!

Are you interrupting me?

18 Months Old

Oh my, Mackenzie is growing up! She's 18 months today! She is such a delight and a blessing to us. She loves to climb on furniture and jump on her bed. Her vocabulary grows every day and it's now up to about 25 words (she says a lot more but I can't figure out what they are). She loves her Daddy and runs across the room to the door screaming "Hey Dad" when Cole comes home from work! Her favorite past times include chasing the cats around the house, pointing at the helicopters that fly over our house, and playing with all her friends!

Stopping to smell the roses!

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, Papa Mac, and Holbear!
All the girl cousins with Nanny!

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).
