Eagle's Wings Gym


On friday Mackenzie and her friend Abby went to the Eagle's Wings gym here in town. They have open gyn on friday morning where the children can try the gym equipment with parental participation. OF course Mackenzie instantly went for the trampoline and the yellow one is extra bouncy. Not much work required. She also loved running around the whole gym. They had some sort of spring board that ran about the length of the gym. Which was easy to run on! Mackenzie amused my by trying the balance beam, rings, and rope above the foam pit but was not interested in trying those things again. Though she had no problem playing in the foam pit she just did not want to have to swing on the rope to get in it. Mommy had to throw her in! It was fun to watch her have such a great time. And needless to say she got good sleep that night! Later, Kari

Cinderella


So while Gram Mac was visiting Kenzie got dress up clothes. And when she put them on Daddy could not resist taking some pictures!

The newest member of the family!


We have been talking awhile about getting another dog. So, the day after my birthday, we took a trip to the local animal shelter to see if there were any dogs that needed a home. We knew that we were shopping so we brought Dax and Kenzi. Of course we could not really leave Kenzi home by herself yet, as CPS might have a problem with that. Anyway, we looked at two dogs. Both got a long great with Dax and Kenzi. And Dax did not seem to have her guard up when the other two dogs approached Kenzi. We settled on Georgia. Well she came with the name Ginger which we thought was interesting due to the fact that Dax came with name Sesame. And it was uncanny the way Georgia looked so much like Dax did when Dax was a puppy. Georgia is now almost 4 months old. She is a shepherd mix and we don't know what she is mixed with. She has adjusted pretty well to our home and having a sibbling and a two year old running after her. She does really well with Mackenzie considering Mackenzie likes to pull on her legs and collar and give her BIG hugs! We think that Georgia will get to be about 70 to 80 pounds. Right now she is around 27. She is a great addition to our family and everyone seems to be adjusting well. It is fun remebering what it is like having a puppy around the house again. We have to child proof! Later!
