Snow, snow, snow...

So, yeah I'm really behind, but I'm keeping at it! Here are snow pictures from our house and my parents. We decided that traveling thorough snow in the south is a good idea!

Chattanooga!

We traveled to Chattanooga for my friend Sarah's New Year's Eve marriage celebration to Matt! While there we spent some time enjoying all that the city offers. Below are pictures from the Aquarium and Children's Discovery Museum (I highly recommend both).

Petting pond!

What's that!

It's like we're under water!

Alligators!

Ummmm, are those what I think they are?

Turtles

Look at that fish!

Christmas (3 months later)

Well I got a new card reader and was able to download the last three months of pictures. Here are some pictures from Christmas Day at my parents' house and the McLaren Family Christmas Party!

Technical Difficulties

So I got a new memory card for Christmas and now my card reader will not work with it :( So I have tons of pictures from the past few months and can't get them onto my computer. Hopefully I'll be fixing this soon. Oh and check out the new ticker! Baby Stovall 2.0 due on or around September 9, 2009!!!!!!!

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)

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!
