McKenna's Special Day

Friday McKenna and I got to have a "special day". I think she was in desperate need of some one on one attention with her mom being that alot of mom's time is now devoted to Maddie. So Friday morning we hopped into the car and started off at Target where McKenna got to pick out any toy she wanted. Of course she chooses Play Doh. I hate play doh. It's such a mess. Oh, well at least it's cheap. As we are walking out of the store she says "Mom, we are having a great time!" She makes me laugh. Then it was off to a little salon in Boise called Monkey Dooz. It is just for kids and is adorable. McKenna got to have a little makeover where they did her hair....

...they did her nails......
.....and her makeup. She was in seventh heaven! If anyone has a little girl you have to go do this at least once. I am sure McKenna will talk me into taking her there again.
Finished product!
Then we went to the Discovery Center in Boise where there were a lot of fun things. She really liked blowing giant bubbles with this fun contraption.

There was a little pretend grocery store which she absolutely loved. She could have shopped all day.

Then we went over to the park where she went on the slides and chased geese and ducks. It was such a fun day and I was so glad to get to spend it with McKenna. I just love her so much. She is the funniest little girl and brightens my day. Thanks for the great day McKenna!

It's Raining It's Pouring!

So last Thursday there was the biggest most random huge rain storm. It only lasted about an hour but it did some serious damage. McKenna wanted to go out and stand in it. That lasted about two seconds.
This is what was left of our driveway after an hour.

These were huge rivenes dug by the water coming off the hill. Those are about a foot deep.
This is what happened in our backyard that we just barely planted and we hadn't got a chance to get our rock wall up yet and this is what happened. Some of those cuts in the dirt are like three feet in.
It was a sad day. Friday Travis and his dad ended up rebuilding a whole new road. Not fun!

Princess McKenna!

So last week McKenna got invited to a Princess tea party at one of her friends' houses. It was so cute. Andrea had it all set up upstairs for everyone and there were quite a few little princesses there. All the little girls were dressed up and the there were a bunch of dress up clothes for them to all change outfits if they wanted. It was super cute and McKenna had tons of fun. She loves being a princess! Just a sidenote- every night McKenna makes me make up a new story about Princess McKenna. She has all kinds of adventures. It's pretty cute.




Even Maddie found a new friend!

What Disney Character are you?

So I took this little quiz that my friend Lauren had on her blog and this was the result.



You Are Pocahantas!

Free-spirited and wise. You have a strong passionate spirit that touches and changes all who know you. The wisdom and common sense that you have is really what guides you through life. Even so, you also have a very playful side that loves adventure and excitement.

Which Disney Princess Are You?

Funny story

So I just have to tell this little story real quick before I go to bed. Last night I was driving home and the girls were in the back seat. Madison was asleep and McKenna was next to her and I saw McKenna start to poke her so I said:

ME: "McKenna don't you dare wake up your sister!"

McKENNA: "Mom, it's OK! I am a trained professional!"

I don't think that I have laughed that hard in a really long time! She makes me laugh so hard. Every day is a new adventure with her.

For my girls!

A couple of weeks ago I took my Mia Maid class clay pigeon shooting at it was one of the funnest activities ever! They loved it and it was so fun watching them all try something new. All of them ended up hitting at least one clay pigeon. Anywho....they have been bugging me to put the pictures up on my blog so here they are!

I was tagged!

So I was tagged by my sister Angie and thought I would finally do this. I have been tagged before and never did it so way to go Angie for getting me to.
