A serious update :)

Once again it has been way too long since I have taken the time to update my blog. Between McKenna's school, Maddie's playdates, Megan's needs and everything else that running a house entails, the time that I get to sit at the computer and blog is few and far between. But I am determined to keep this poor blog going. I always say "someday" my blog is going to be one that people will want to read like so many other amazing blogging moms. But who know when someday will be so you will have to settle for the posts I get in inbetween life's other moments.
Let me go all the way back to Valentine's Day. The night before McKenna and I made these super cute Valentines for her class party the next day. It was fun having her go through her class list and tell me about each classmate.

Then the next day we went and helped with her class party. That is always and adventure let me tell ya. But it is always great to be able to go into the class and see all the kids she is always talking about.

Megan thought she was pretty special to be able to go and play with all the fun things in McKenna's classroom.

Then that evening I made a candlelight dinner for the whole family instead of just Travis and I going out and doing something. I would like to say that this was intentional and not due to a lack of babysitter. So we will just say that. :) But it was pretty fun and the girls sure liked it. Madison couldn't figure out who's birthday it was and if it was no one's then why did we have candles.

Of course McKenna had to put name tags where everyone was supposed to sit. That girl can't do anything without having name tags. haha

I love Megan's chocolate face in this picture! haha I wonder what they were eating?

While we were there I planned a surprise birthday party for McKenna with all her little friends from Idaho. It was so much fun for her to be able to get to play with all these girls who she loves and misses.

Then the night before we left we had a fun little hot dog roast out at Grandma & Grandpa Hillman's. The girls had to put name tags on everyone's chair again. Madison the whole time kept talking about roasting hot dogs at grandmas so we couldn't leave Idaho without doing that.

I love this little girl who always has to be wearing a hood.

And since we have returned McKenna has gotten to start soccer. She was a little nervouse to start but she did great right out of the gate.

It made it even easier when she found out that her little buddies from her class, Jake and David, were on her team as well. So that's what we have been up to for the last few weeks! Hopefully you will get another update sooner than later.

McKenna is getting way too big. All of them are. I love the valentines. They were way cute. Don't worry about blogging. no one else is on top of it either. If they are they aren't doing their calling or something. Ha Ha. LOVE_ MOM
