Makenzie is still as cute as ever! She is getting pretty darn smart… if you catch her doing something she’s not suppose to be doing she will blow a kiss at you really fast :) I try to keep my “serious mom” face on so she understands that what she is doing is bad, but inside I am cracking up!
Mike and I got to go on a date to a Clippers Basketball game at the Staples Center in LA. We had a great time we met a bunch of our friends there so all the wives sat together and talked the whole time :) It was sometime after halftime that I figured out what side we were cheering for. So that tells you how much I paid attention :)
My favorite thing that has happened was having my Grandparents come and stay with us for a few days! Makenzie had so much fun! I think she loves visitors more than I do just because she has new people to give her attention :) It was fun for me to watch her and my Grandpa Dale do all the things I used to do with him when I was little, like riding on his foot, getting to sit up on his shoulder, getting bench pressed up and down, and even pony rides on his back.
He and my grandma have always been a huge part of my life and it truly meant the world to me that they would take the time to come and see us!
We took them to a park close by our home, and even got to go to Disneyland with them :) Makenzie took them on all her favorite rides! We liked, “It’s a Small World”, so much that we went on that one twice in a row! Haha.
It was one of the most relaxed trips to Disneyland ever and I loved it!!! It was super hard for Makenzie when they left, she would walk around the apartment saying “Grandpa? … Grandma?” I felt bad that I couldn’t explain it to her so she would understand. I’m glad that we took lots of pictures because she loves to look at them!
It got warm enough that we decided to have a bonfire on the beach with some couples that Mike goes to school with. It was a beautiful night the stars were out and we had some great company! It’s been forever since I’ve had hot dogs, roasted star-burst, and banana boats….SOOOO Good!
I’m thankful for so many things! The Lord really has been watching out for us down here. I have the most amazing husband ever and am so proud of everything that he is doing to create a successful future for our family! I don’t know what I would do without Makenzie she has become my reason for everything :)
I love just hanging out with her. She’s starting to sing more and more everyday which is so cute. She gives the best hugs ever! I have learned so much from her and hope the she is learning just as much from us. Everyday all day long I am reminded by the wiggling baby in my tummy of the exciting days we have in front of us. I would be lying if I said I am ready for the next adventure. I’m not even close, but it gives me comfort to know that I have wonderful friends and family that are always willing to help out. Thank you!
