Fashion Statement

Mackenzie's not the only one making fashion statements these days...

Mr Potato Head

Mackenzie has always loved Mr and Mrs Potato Head, but Dylans' recent obsession with Toy Story has made him being to love them too!! I caught this sweet moment of my kids playing together with their Potato Heads last weekend. Just blessed my heart to see these sweet moments!

What's my sissy doing??

Building his Potato Head. He loves to put the wrong parts in the wrong spots, he thinks its so funny! I think here he's checking out the parts in Mr Potato Heads hiney!

Playing so sweet together!

Crazy Potato Head!

A Week and a Half in the Life of Dylan (courtesy of iPhone pics)

Bitten on the face.




Early stages of allergic reaction to a mosquito bite above his left eye.




After nap. And before a trip to the dr's office just to be safe since it was his eye.




Looking not as Frankensteiny the next afternoon.




He almost has two normal eyes!!




This is how he rolls!




Heard a noise and went to find he had discovered his new booster seat (thanks Wanda!) and climbed up in it!




He LOVES his new pj's from Mimi and Papa Keith! He's OBSESSED with Toy Story!




Does he look hungry to you??




Eating breakfast on a stool like the big kids!




Sleeping like the big kids Day 2!




My precious big boy!




Life is tough when you get yourself stuck!!




Poor boy had a cow today when another kiddo was picked up in a car like mine!!

As you can see, life is never boring in his world!! :) Love my little boyfriend!!!

I just thought it was "Crazy"...

I just thought life was crazy before... I knew it could and would get crazier. But until you're in it you don't realize how much crazier.

Kindergarten
Homework
Soccer
Gymnastics
High School Football games
Campfire
Mini Cheer Clinic
Helping with Awanas again
1 1/2 yr old with an adult sized temper and stubbornness (and a sweet heart!)

Oh and I haven't even mention the normal things that have to be done like:

Work
Cooking
Cleaning
Laundry
Chauffeuring
Sleeping
Grocery Shopping

And of course it will only get crazier when Dylan joins the rotation of activities! For now I'm wondering how we're going to handle our one set of activities much less adding another set. But I think it'll be just like this craziness... We'll make it work like we always do in Crazy Kennebeck Land!

One thing is for sure... We are blessed beyond measure by our Heavenly Father to have these crazy kids to chase around! We would change it for anything!!

Sad Little Animal!

Last week Dylan got bit right above his eye by a mosquito. Bad thing for him is that he's allergic to mosquito bites, so by mid-day on Monday his eye was almost swollen shut! Poor little boy!! He was back to normal by Thursday, but everytime I looked at him, it just broke my heart!

Sad Little Animal!!

Mini Cheer Clinic

Last week Mackenzie got to be a part of our local Varsity Mini Cheer Clinic. She was in heaven!! Not only did she get to be a real cheerleader but she ended up getting to be in the group of her favorite cheerleader in the world! Mackenzie LOVES Hailey to death! Every game we go to, I tell Mackenzie, Hailey can't see you or wave right now but we'll go down and see her cheer in a little bit. Everytime Hailey sees her and makes a liar out of me! Last week she saw us at almost the top row, and waved back to Mackenzie!!

Hey Mom!!!

Somebody can't get enough of their big sister! (And the feeling is mutual!)

Cheering her little heart out!

There's that big grin!

I have a feeling we'll be seeing this pose alot, years from now! :)

Soccer Time!!

Today when we were getting ready for soccer practice I realized I still hadn't posted the pictures from last week's practice. Can you tell our schedule has gotten even crazier??

This is the first year that Mackenzie has been in any "activities"... She started soccer last week and she seems to love it! As much as we love our baby girl, she's not the most coordinated person in the world... wonder where she got that from??? :) So we were interested to see how soccer would go and if she would enjoy it. So far she seems to really like it!

One of our friends is coaching the team, and Brian is helping coach so its good to know he's there to help her learn and also to tell her to stop whining if need be. Not that it would ever happen or anything...

They started by playing Red Light Green Light while kicking the soccer ball.

Waiting to start again...

They "stomp the bug" when they stop. It's really funny to watch!

I think this picture is really cool, especially to see Mattie in the background! :)

Trying to make a goal

Trying to keep somebody else from making a goal.

The best part about the whole thing, getting to be on a team with your bestest friends! Thanks Ash for the precious picture!!
