Princess party

Mckenzie had a princess tea party with her friends for an early birthday party. She'll turn 4 years old on July 10th. She got a new dress and a new crown. Both of which she's worn everyday since.

For her party they ate PB&H, fruit, and drank lemonade. We sang Mckenzie Happy Birthday and ate sprinkle cookies and pink marshmallows. Then they water color painted princess pictures. Oh and they danced to princess songs. Of course!

This is Mckenzie's face when we were singing to her, she was a little shy!

Dance party!

Friends!

They are so cute.

For Makayla's 7th birthday we went to Roaring Springs with the Crawfords. It was a super fun day going on lots of rides with Channing. He is fearless even on the big rides! Mckenzie loved playing in the kids area.

Date afternoon with Channing. He rode his scooter and skateboard at the skatepark. Then we got shakes at Sonic. They mixed up our order and gave us a medium size instead of a mini size. Channing was thrilled!

A few days ago the weather was oddly cool in the afternoon and we went to the park. As a treat I let the kids get a snow cone. We love summer!

Have you ever tried running (more like slow jogging) with a double stroller? My suggestion is to avoid it...unless you're into pain and frustration. I'm a morning workout person. And I'm not talking about waking up before my kids at 6am and getting in a workout--I'm not crazy. I'm into doing my workout when it's convenient and I don't have to sacrifice too much. For example I don't like to exercise when I: Have to wake up earlier than normal. Stay up later than normal. Be too cold/hot for a long period of time. Or listen to a kid cry/whine the whole time. Right now I've chosen to walk/jog in the morning after breakfast and before Mckenzie's nap. That way the morning goes by quickly and I get a workout in. Justin and I signed up for a race here in Meridian and that's my workout motivation...hence the jogging with a stroller. I'm pretty sure the double stroller ways at least 75lbs with the kids in it. 20lbs for Kenz

Pain in the Neck Child

I have one child that's a pain in the neck because she has a pain in her neck! Did you follow that? Actually Mckenzie is adorable and an excellent baby, but the poor kid has torticollis. Here's what google says about torticollis, a condition in which the head becomes persistently turned to one side, often associated with painful muscle spasms. Mckenzie only wants to look forward and to the right. This has caused the right side of her head to become flat. Last Thursday I took her to the physical therapist that specializes in this problem and received lots of good stretches that I need to do with Mckenzie 2-3 times a day. She also wants Mckenzie to have tummy time about 5 times a day for 5 minutes each time. The only time I can do these stretches successfully with Mckenzie is when she is falling asleep for a nap. And it takes about 10-15 minutes to complete the stretches each time. We're hopeful that within the next 6 weeks we'll see some improvement. The PT

$$ for Jeeps

Well I've done it again - bought another Jeep. But this time it was Melissa pushing me to do it! (what a good wife!) It's a 99 Grand Cherokee Limited (we previously had a Laredo by the same year.) The people were originally asking $4200 but we Hamiltoned them down to $2800 thanks to Melissa. I was talking & negotiating with the husband. And then the wife comes out appalled that the husband was coming down so much in price. And she snapped and said she was firm on $3000. So Melissa stepped up and said "I wouldn't give more than $2800." The tension was high as the 2 women shot dagger-eyes at each other. Neither one backing down. Finally the husband agreed. And we drove it home. Then 2 days later I decided to list our Cherokee for sale around midnight, by noon the next day (today) I had it sold. It's been a busy day. So in 2012 alone, I've now owned 4 different vehicles. Melissa is the hospital today. She is just starting her preceptorship in labo
