Click, Clack, Moo!


McKenna had a preschool field trip to the play Click, Clack, Moo!  She was so excited that I was going to join her!  We had a blast and the play was soooo cute and well done!  McKenna was in HEAVEN with me on her one side and Mrs. Helen on her other side!


Here we are "Mooing!"...




 Click, Clack, Moo!!!!!!!!

Arkansas Snow!


 Arkansas weather has been interesting!  

From what the Arkansans are saying, the summer was oddly mild and the winter had a lot more snow than they have had in a long time!  We really enjoyed the few times we got snow since the girls have been in snow so few times!  We don't have very much winter gear so it was always interesting what we could find to keep them warm! :)  








 The girls were DYING to build a snowman... I take full responsibility for the patheticness of it hahaha!







Reagy LOVES to go outside and gets SOOO angry when she can't go out with McKenna and Adyson, but she always manages to keep herself busy...


This is why we call her the dish monster!  As soon as she hears that dishwasher open she is RIGHT there!

Angel and Zoey Stay!


 After my birthday, Angel and Zo stayed for a few more days!  I was in absolute heaven having her here!  We didn't do much.  With Zoey taking her one nap in between Reagy's 2 naps, it didn't give us a lot of leave the house time.  We just enjoyed hanging out at the house together!  The girls played all day long and we got in a sleepover movie night too!  The one time we did manage to leave the house I locked the keys in the car and we had to dink around waiting for Chris to wake up... who then had to ask the neighbor to watch Reagan... so he could drive over to us since we had Reagy's car seat... oh drama!  My favorite time was to stay up all night and talk and of course being able to run together!  She also gave me like a 3 hour lesson on my camera and took pics of the girls!  Poor Angel!  She did all of that in addition to my whole surprise party and while being prego!... I know!... I told you I was lucky to have her!







We were sad to see them go!  We are so glad they live close enough that we get to see them every so often!!  We love you Angel and Zoey!!!  Come back!!! :)

Mc Turns 5!

 

 My sweet, spunky, socialite, first born turned 5!!!!!  She had been waiting for this day for a long time and thought it would NEVER come!  She wanted to bring Hello Kitty cupcakes for her birthday snack at preschool!!  In fact, she wanted to have EVERYTHING Hello Kitty for her birthday!



The REAL McKenna.... :)

A few things about my baby McKenna on her 5th birthday!!!...
  • She wakes up very happy!  Always too early, but always very happy!
  • She has to know our "schedule" for every second of every single day!  If there is no schedule or it doesn't include being social then her life is just OVER!
  • She is THEE most thoughtful little girl I have ever met!  She is always thinking of others and wanting to give gifts to everyone!  It is rare that she doesn't go to school without some sort of gift in her backpack she has made for her teacher or one for her entire class!  She is such a sweet, giving person!
  • She would watch TV all day long if I let her.  She only gets to watch a show when Reagan is napping and I'm running on the treadmill.  I'll turn on something for her and then come out to something she's turned it to on Netflix... she likes weird shows!  Sometimes anime... (shutter.) Mostly she likes My Little Pony though!  She loves the movie Princess Bride which is kinda funny!
  • She DESPISES getting her hair done.  It's been 5 years now that I've done the girl's hair Every. Single. Day!  Toughen up girl!!!
  • She got lots of makeup for her bday and she absolutely loves it.  She loves to put on lip gloss and paint her nails!
  • She recently started coming home with "McKenna L" on all of her papers from school.  I call her by her full name a lot.  I taught her that her middle name is Elle!  She now rights McKenna Elle any time she rights her name!
  • She loves to jump on the trampoline, swing on her swing set, and play in the front with her bike or barbie jeep!  She mostly likes it when Kaleb and Sam come over!  
  • She is still the biggest social butterfly I have ever met!
  • She cannot wait to start Kindergarten!
  • She will come up to me and scratch my back because she knows how much I love it!
  • She is the WORST at getting shots.  Even if she isn't the one getting it, I have to have her leave the room because she causes such drama over it!
  • She is an AWESOME public speaker!  In church everyone is always amazed and how well she gives her talks!  She hardly needs help at all by memorizing it and she always speaks loud and clear so everyone can hear!
  • She does great in dance class!
I LOVE MY MCKENNA ELLE!!!!

On her actual birthday she opened presents and then we surprised her with a lunch trip to Larry's Pizza!  She was in heaven of course!

V-day!

I LOVE HOLIDAYS, but... poor Valentine's day.  Our February is just too packed with birthdayness for me to ever do anything great for love day!  I was relieved when Chris asked me if we could bypass gifts this year!  My reply was something like,  "Yes!... I love you... I know you love me... thank you!" That was our Valentine's day!  

A few days before Valentine's McKenna took Valentine's to her preschool party!


That same day-
Once upon a time...
 King Chris took Princess McKenna to preschool...
King Chris took Princess Adyson to get a donut after they dropped off Mc.
Princess Adyson now believes it is her RIGHT to get a donut EVERY day Mc goes to preschool.
Princess Adyson does NOT get a donut every time Princess Mc goes to preschool...
but sometimes she does.  When she does... 
the princess LOVES it!
The End




On actual Valentine's Day Chris was on a string of night shifts so he slept all day and then woke up to a heart pizza... yep... that was the extent of our celebrating!







 Happy Valentine's Day to my 4 Valentines!!!!  I'm so blessed!!!
