This past weekend Mackenzie had her mom and daughter girl scout campout. We went up to Meeks Cabin Friday afternoon and stayed till Saturday afternoon. There was lots of food, fun crafts, and cold, wet, weather! Mackenzie had a blast though!! crazy eyes! Mackenzie and Zoie

It was fun! It's always nice to spend some one on one time with Kenzie lou!!

Avery is such a troublemaker! Today I was on the computer looking at dishwashers because mine broke and when I got off, I turned around and she had gotten a bag of flour out of the kitchen. It's a good thing it was half way gone! She had it all over the kitchen: in the cupboards, on the floor, on the table, and all over the living room floor as well as the couch. Then tonight, I noticed I hadn't seen her in a few minutes so I sent Kenzie to find her and suddenly I can hear Kenzie laughing hysterically! I walk in my room and this is what I saw. Avery had gotten into my underwer drawer and was wearing about 15 pair around her neck and had some on her wrists too. It took a minute to get the camera and she had droped some by then but it was so funny! She would NOT let anyone touch her because she thought we were going to take the underwear away. She walked around the house saying "pretty" over and over, After about an hour, I took them all off and she cried and cried- she was so sad!!

Here's my handsome Gavin boy with Lasagna all over his face!

Avery's first haircut

I gave Avery her first haircut this past weekend. I wish I had taken some "before" pictures but I didn't think about it. Her hair was getting pretty long on the bottom but it looked so funny because it is so thin. Plus, i want to keep the back trimmed up so the top can have time to catch up! She was really good. She just sat and looked in the mirror while I cut it. I put the hair on the counter so I could take a picture of it but she knocked half of it onto the floor-so here's a picture of what was left. I cut about an inch and a half from the bottom. I had to put these on here too. This blanket is her FAVORITE!! She carries it around with her everywhere she goes. The funny thing is that when she is tired, sad ornery, or upset, she grabs the silky part and rubs it on her nose. She will sit for hours, just rubbing her nose with her blanket, and sometimes, she will bring it to me and rub it on my nose. It is the cutest thing!
