Happy Easter and Happy Birthday to Mackenzie!!!

Happy Easter to all! I hope the Easter Bunny treated everyone well!
I also need to give a BIG SHOUT OUT to my Girly who turned 5 year old yesterday!!! YEAH!!!
I can't believe it ...I know all mom's say this but it is true...how do they grow soooo fast?!? This fall she will be in kindergarten at Prune Hill w/ Jake! Both my kids in school?! What?! Don't get me wrong...there are definitely those times when children can't grow fast enough...(you know what I'm talkin 'bout)! But when they actually do grow....it's exciting and heart breaking all at the same time. I find myself having little panic attacks that I haven't taken enough pictures or videos and that I will forget the amazingly cute things they used to say or do and how they felt in my arms as babies. I pray I don't forget.... I pray I don't forget. I also hope that I have recorded enough of their life that at any moment I can be taken back there.....(only the cute happy times...NOT the temper tantrum, screaming fits part....I can be sentimental but I'm not CRAZY!!!!!)
Anyway, Mackenzie at the age of five is sooo fun to be around! Thankfully, we have pretty much left the unreasonable, needing to be entertained phase behind and are graced by a very sweet, VERY outgoing and Very cute little girl! I have been amazed at how she will sit upstairs and play barbies or Lego's or Polly pockets for hours (at least one or two!) by herself...and for all who know Kenzie, you know this is AMAZING!
Here are a few things that Mackenie LOVES at 5 years old

1. Her family (especially her brother, who she always wants to sit by, sleep by and play with, much it his dismay!)
2. gymnastics (she goes every Saturday to VEGA)
3. Water (she would bathe or swim 5x's a day if I let her)
4. Breakfast: Peanut butter Waffles and Lunch: Chicken Nuggets!
5. Barbies, Polly pockets, Care Bears and My Little Pony
6. The Park (which park? ANY!!!)
7. Playing games on the computer...especially Star Fall (an online game).
8. Blue's Clues. She can't get enough of that cartoon! (We have it On Demand, so she can watch all the episodes over and over!)

A few things Mackenzie is NOT to fond of at 5 years old:

1. Getting her hair brushed (she wants REALLY long hair...but doesn't want to brush it:( )
2. Bugs (She screams at the sight of anything that could possibly resemble a bug)
3. Not being able to pick out what she wears in the morning ( She usually wants to pick out Jake's clothes, my clothes and clothes for Todd)
4. Spaghetti (she HATES the tomato sauce!)
5. Watching Jake's cartoons or any TV that he likes to watch!

There is so much more about her....that is just the tip of the iceberg!

Pictures to come soon....I think I left my camera at mom's house yesterday! Have a good day!
