3 Lil Kitty's!!

Pati sent us this picture today...how lucky we are to be in such good hands with our lil peanut!


3 cutest kitty's I've seen!  (note the hand on the hip pose!) such a little diva :)


Dancing with her King...

Got this gem of a picture yesterday with Mackenna and her favorite guy in the world...

True love at it's finest!



A Night at the Ballpark!

We got to go to the Twins/Indians game with Daddy on Friday night and had on-field passes to see the Indians in their BP - I was just whatever about the whole thing, but it ended up being pretty awesome! Nick Swisher played catch with Mackenna and was seriously impressed with her lil arm! Must be all that hard work playing with her dad!

Daddy and his girl with Carlos Santana of the Cleveland Indians

Kenna playing catch with Nick Swisher!

When we were walking out, she wanted to pose with all the statues and cool things around the stadium. She's such a lil poser lately!

We had a wonderful family night - I cherish these things so much with my 2 favorite people!

Pati-Cakes Preschool and Daycare

Mackenna is doing very well in her first year at preschool at Pati's house. It's been fun at pick up to see the projects she gets sent home with too!

Here are some fun pics that we've gotten from Pati...

This was after her first official day of preschool and as you can see, she was VERY proud of herself and so were we


On Tuesdays they have music class with Miss Heather and on Thursdays they have story time with Miss Julie - here is a cute pic from music class!

The 3 Musketeers - Mackenna, Rebecca and Jack

So I took this photo last night and had to only to showcase the lesson that the kids are learning in school this week which is emotions! She's all about showing us her happy face, surprised face, sad face and angry face. This is SO HER that I just had to share...she's hilarious!


Great MN Get Together

With the end of summer it always means one exciting day for our family...heading the Great MN Get Together. And this year, Kenna and I went twice! Once with Grandma, Grandpa, Uncle Rob, Aunt Erica and Eric and once with Daddy! Both times we had a great time and Kenna was old enough this year to take advantage of lots of the activities for the kids!

Erica bought Kenna some cotton candy as soon as we got there!

When there's a stage, Kenna is on it!

She got to go on the trampoline this year and loved it! A little too light, but she got some help from the worker and had a blast!

Riding the cars...

Erica and her favorite niece
 
We saw all the animals and pet as many as could :)

When we went back to the fair with Daddy, it was a fall-like day, but in my opinion PERFECT since it wasn't all hot and uncomfrotable with all the people!

Riding the slide with Daddy as they do each year!

More rides...

She went back on the trampoline because she HAD to show Daddy!


Cutest kitty I've seen :) She got quite the ohhhs and ahhhs fromt he fair-goers too!

Lil Farm Hand

Shopping for milk on the farm!

She got her first caricature done too and the best part may have been what she said when she saw it, "Mom, what happened to my cheeks!?"

Our Lil Preschooler

No way do we have a preschooler on our hands!!!!!!! Time, PLEASE slow down!


Mackenna started this new journey on Monday (Sept 9, 2013) and has been doing well in her new 'life' this week. Pati's daycare has been changed to Pati-Cakes Preschool and Daycare and with the name change, there are some face changes too. Mackenna, Rebecca and Jack are now the 'oldest' regularly attending children and are 3 of the 4 in the preschool curriculum. While we miss some of her lil friends that are no longer there, we're thrilled there aren't as many kids in the preschool so there can be a bit more focus on the kids!

With as bright as this little lady is, we are so excited to see what this year brings her and us in return!!!

We're so proud of you Mackenna and love you so so much!!!!!!!!!
