some fun pics from Makenzie's Birthday weekend!

Last night Gary and I went out on a date! We had a great time! Thanks to our AMAZING babysitter Erica! Seriously, we love her! Mak has really taken to her and they have a blast together! We are so thankful! We were talking at dinner about how precious this stage is with the kids...I know the baby/toddler age is tough in it's own rights but we aren't dealing with crazy emotions or anything like that yet...our problems are really very simple. And for that we are grateful! We are trying to figure out when Maki should start kindergarten...Do you think 6 1/2 is a little old to start? Gary suggested 10! LOL! Would love input on this!! Email me!
Love, love, loving getting out on date nights! Erica, you are such a BLESSING! :)

**thanks for your prayers and encouragement! I am feeling much better! Vanessa, 6 times?! Wow you are a much stronger woman than I...I have hit my wall at 3! playing in a creek...she looks 10 years old to me here! STOP GROWING Maki!

some lovin' on the grass!

so precious!

Celtic Woman

We went to the Celtic Woman concert last night! It was amazing! I know many of you may be thinking REALLY?! Even one of my closest friends who also happens to be my sister-in-law Carrie told me not to tell anyone that we went...she made such fun of us! But I don't care! We had an amazing time! Celtic music is not something we usually listen to but these ladies are so talented! They harmonize so beautifully! Hope you enjoy the short youtube video of them! I played it this AM for Mak and we had to watch it over and over again! She loved it so much she started playing the piano and made me dance! :)

The song in the video happens to be my favorite! I don't know what it is about the song but it just stirs so much joy inside of me!



Carrie, what do you think??? Still laughing...?
