Somebody needs to fix her! August 6, 2008

 

Well Praise the Lord, we are teething!  And there is nothing more annoying than knowing what is wrong with your baby and not being able to fix it.  You can only give your child so much medication, teething tablets, orajel…you name it!

The other night McKenzie was a little fussy and was ready for bed as well and would not stop crying, so Ethan emerged into the kitchen with his “fixer” outfit on, proclaiming…..”I am Fixer Ethan, I am here to fix my baby sister so she will stop crying…!”  O if it were that simple, you would see me in those silly goggles 24/7 this week, tears streaming down with a piece of ice cream cake beside me!:)

So Ethan worked his magic to fix her…and apparently…..IT WORKED!

I thank you, High God – you’re breathtaking! Body and soul, I am marvelously made! I worship in adoration – what a creation!

Sweet Sarah August 4, 2008

Sarah….for any of you that are reading this know who this is you are gonna fall off your chair!  Sarah is 13!  And here she is meeting McKenzie for the first time!  She was so excited to finally meet her and she loved spending time with Ethan too!

I used to nanny Sarah, from when she was 1 till she was 5, and then she was off to preschool and kindergarten..and I was sad…:(  I couldn’t love Sarah more if she was my own child, I feel like she is part of our family and I was elated I got to see her and spend some time with her while her and her parents were visiting. They live in Las Vegas so we haven’t seen her for a long time, and don’t get to see them as often as we would like, with 2 kids and jobs, etc, it is not always easy to hop a plane to Sin City.  So we were so happy to see her!

I miss her muchly and am so proud of the young lady she has become!  When she left Ethan was very sad and told me he missed her so much, and asked if he could marry her…hehe  He loved her as much as I do and I was so happy about that!

Sidetracked by the Stache… August 4, 2008

 

While grooming his ’stache’, McKenzie takes a peak @ the rest of his hand in this riveting game of UNO, or maybe they were just using UNO cards but it was actually GO FISH…which would be more like it since that is the only card game Ethan knows…haha

Who can “Rock a Stache”?  Our POPPY!!!

A Thousand Words…. August 4, 2008

What more can I say….I think this pic says it all!:)  I love these kids!

Yet another reason I love him… August 4, 2008

I consider my husband a genius, he can make anything you ask him to.  An armoir (sp?), a flower arrangement, a dress, or a metal cabinet…he is a master crafter…but this….this is his greatest MASTERPIECE!!

Notice the onion ring (fresh out of the fryer I might add) placed o so nicely on top of his burger dripping with “Sweet Baby Ray’s” BBQ sauce (no seriously that is the BBQ sauce his parents had…haha ) with a piece of cheese neatly placed on the bottom of it all!  And who could forget the fries on the side….SHEER GENIUS!

I love him….and his cheeseburger making ability…:)

Happy 4th of July! July 24, 2008

Well the 4th was an occasion this year!!!  We packed a whole lot into this day and it was a blast! (no pun intended!)  We went to the parade and got a ton of candy and 2 picnics and ate brownies…seeing a trend here…haha

Ethan had so much fun and McKenzie loved the fireworks, and Mommy and Daddy….were tired! 

Sibling Rivalry???? July 8, 2008

Ethan is so smitten with his baby sister it is really sweet to watch.  For instance this morning she was playing on the floor and he was in the other room, I could see her and she got a little close to a toy that she probably shouldn’t have been playing with anyways, but wasn’t something that could hurt her (put the phone down, Childrens Services does not need to be notified…haha).  Ethan came in and saw she had it and he ripped it off of her, she of course started screaming…not only was she mad he took it but it hurt her face, as soon as he saw how upset she was and that he hurt her, he just started sobbing.  After checking for wounds and calming everyone down I asked the reason why he was so upset he said, “Cuz I hurt my baby sister and it was just an accident…”  so sweet.  I hope he keeps that tender heart towards her always…especially when he finds her playing with his dinosaurs…hehe

I have to best kids!:)

Poor McKenzie…:( July 8, 2008

Looking longingly @ her brother, McKenzie longs for the day when she too can indulge in a lollipop too!

Keep your eye on the prize! July 8, 2008

Ever since Ethan could chew, snack time has been a ritual in this house…Raymond would get home from work and find some salty, yummy snack and have a seat on the couch and snack away!  Ethan would see him and climb up onto his lap and snack time began…todays choice was Pringles, and I think someone else wanted to join them…haha
