Smart Start...

So, I completely forgot to mention that Jared signed Makenzie up in a program called "Smart Start".  It is a program that teaches them the fundimentals of sports.  It's on Thursday's for a few hours in the evening at Matthew Henson.  It's $40 for six weeks.  That's awesome!

Jared said she learned how to kick the ball, throw the ball, and hit.  I am confident she will love sports and Jared and I have lots to look forward to in the future as far a sports is concerned.  I know she will be a great Athlete.  Like her Father.  I was good, but not as good as Jared.  Hopefully she is "Jared kind of good."  I am sure he is hoping for that too.  ha ha  What I was best at was Cheerleading and I doubt Jared... Well, I know Jared wants no parts of that. Anyway, I am SUPER proud of Makenzie!!  Yay Kenz!!! Here is to a future All-Star!!!

What’s Been Going on in January???

 

We celebrated the New Year at Granny and Grandpa’s as we do every year.  Granny and Grandpa made an amazing meal, as always.  We opened up stocking and had dessert also.

 

On the Martin Luther King holiday weekend Makenzie and I were about to leave the house to go run errands.  She asked me “Mommy, are we going to see the King?”  I was puzzled by what she meant and asked her “What King, Makenzie?”  She said “You know ‘The King?’ Ms. Debbie said it was his birthday.  So are we going to see him?”  She thought since it was Martin Luther King’s birthday, we needed to visit him.  That took some explaining and I think she understood.

 

Lately when she is upset or I don’t let her do something she shouldn’t  she protest by say “but Mommy, you just don’t understand… You don’t understand me.”  It is cute and makes it hard not to smile.

 

Good news, after a VERY long wait… Makenzie and I go to closing on our first home this Friday.  Please pray for us on our new adventure.  We need all the prayer we can get.  I am very nervous and excited.  I know everything will work out fine, but prayer always helps.  I would also like to thank everyone who has been praying for us.  I am hoping once I get settled in our new home, everything will settle down and I can keep my blogging to an every day thing.

Christmas Pictures which are LONG overdue…

 

We were all sleeping Christmas morning (or so I thought we all were sleeping) and I wake up to “OH MY GOODNESS, he brought me my Dora Doll House!!!!”  So yes, I missed her surprised face on camera.  I was so upset.  But she was so excited to see what Santa brought her, she ran downstairs without letting anyone know. 

Makenzie asked Santa multiple times for a Dora Doll house this Christmas… Guess what?  She got it.  She was such a good girl this year.  Actually, she has been every year.  I am so proud of her.

 

Here are some pictures from Christmas, Christmas Eve, Snow of 2009, and Makenzie Christmas play at school…
