| My friend Heather and her family went out of town over spring break and asked if Marcus could take care of their pets while they were gone. This is Joey the bunny..he brushed him and fed him and even played with him a little. Thanks Heather! Now he wants a bunny! |
 |
| They have fish outside in a pond and an aquarium inside so Marcus fed the fishies! |
 |
| Uncle Max came over on Sunday and we celebrated Mackenzie's birthday again with sliders, homemade mac and cheese and her favorite ice cream cake from Baskins Robbins :) |
 |
| I finished up my rose garden this week. This rose is called Mardi Grau. A pinky, yellow coral color. I love it! I also picked white and pink ones too. |
 |
| Hopefully I can keep them all alive and the next picture you see they will all be blooming! |
 |
| The kids have been enjoying Spring Break. We have been to the library, watched movies at home and today Marcus decided to get in the pool. Trust me, it was pretty cold but you know how kids are. Last year we were in Kansas over Spring Break and he was playing in the snow with his cousin. |
 |
| Copper didn't want to be left out of the fun so she jumped in too! |
 |
| Well, I know every parent says this...but I can't believe how fast time goes. My baby girl is 13 and officially a teenager now. Werent Mitch and I just tearing down Antioch in our trusty Rodeo at 3 in the morning heading to Shawnee Mission hospital yesterday? |
 |
| Mackenzie chose The Cheesecake Factory for her birthday. I must say it was an excellent choice. We all LOVED what we got for dinner. Mackenzie picked fettuccine alfredo. |
 |
| Marcus picked a club sandwich and no, he did not eat it all. But he put out a good effort! Mitch had steak and I got salmon. And of course, we all know what you go to the Cheesecake Factory for..... |
 |
| Cheesecake! Mackenzie got Tiramisu |
 |
| Marcus and Mitch got a peanut butter deluxe and I got White Chocolate Raspberry Truffle |
 |
| Darn, it was a little blurry or maybe that is the trance the Cheesecake has put you under! It was all so good. We definitely had doggie bags and are now all home in our stretchy pants. Happy Birthday Mackenzie! |
 |
| Last night Mackenzie went with her Confirmation class to visit a Jewish Temple. They learned about their Sabbath and some of their beliefs and traditions. |
 |
| Marcus an I went to see the Lego movie last week! It was really pretty good. :) |
 |
| Soccer has started back up. He is supposed to have a game this Saturday but there is an 80% chance of rain. |
 |
| The youth Choir sang at a church in downtown Phoenix this past Sunday. Mac is at the far left, but the microphone is covering her face. |
 |
| Mitch and I went to dinner Friday night.....It was so nice out we ate outside :) ahhh, the perks of living in the Southwest in the winter! |
 |
| Pretty shot of the waterfall and flowers |
 |
| I got ambitious on Saturday and made a coconut crème pie! It was yummy! |
 |
| In my next life maybe I will come back as a cat...such a rough life. |
 |
| There is this commercial that has dancing avacados...apparently Panther is captivated by it. |
 |
| Stretching after a long nap on Mackenzie's bed... |
 |
| Mackenzie at her Athletic banquet last Thursday. |
 |
| This was at their last game...the basketball team made it to the semi finals. |
 |
| My boy is looking more grown up. |
 |
| Mac was outside playing with all the kids and if you look closely at her jeans you might be able to tell what they got into...Chalk...they were all covered in it! |
 |
| I got home from work yesterday and Mitch had bought these for me! Yay! We are finally going to get our rose garden put in. We actually have room to put about 4-6 more but we are starting with these 4 red bushes and may add other colors! Im so excited! :) |
 |
| Today Mac is at a Youth Lock in at church. So Marcus help me in the yard and tomorrow him and I are going to see The Lego Movie :) |
