Mackenzie's Earthquake Story

So when it comes time to wake up from a LONG nap or time to go to daycare in the morning Miss Mackenzie is difficult to get up. We try to make it as much fun as possible because otherwise she wakes up all grouchy and it's a rough hour or so before she's feeling friendly. Kevin puts one arm on either side of her and shakes the bed like an earthquake and says "EEEAAARRRRTTTHHH QQQUUUUAAAKKKKEEE" . Mackenzie thinks this is the best game ever so she laughs and shouts "more, more". Well just the other day little missy decides she is going to make her own Earthquake. She has us lay down on the bed and she starts pushing on the bed and in this little squeaky girl trying to be grumbly voice she says "EEEAAARRRTTTHHQUAKE" and she's shaking with all her might thinking she is hysterical and the bed is going no where. It was priceless.

Hi Everyone!

So I've vowed to keep you all updated on our lives through a blog that you can access (or not) whenever it's easiest for you. I've been getting some slack for not sending enough pictures of Mackenzie out so those will be here as well.

In the meantime here are some updates...

Mackenzie is almost two and a half years old. We can hardly believe it. She truely is just like a little person now. Two is definately a trying age but so much fun! She is NOT a water loving creature so swimming this summer has been at a bear minimum she did manage to get into my aunts pool once two weeks ago. Needless to say it was a VERY big deal. She can say her ABC's and sing twinkle twinkle, itsy bitsy, wheels on the bus and patty cake. As much as we said we wouldn't be TV parents she is addicted to the Disney Channel. Usually on a hot summer day she is pushing to go out side, so yesterday we were out there for about an hour and she says "mama, I go inside and watch zack and cody". The Suite life TV show on Disney! So I managed to keep her out for a little bit longer, but it was hot so we took a break and went inside and I let her watch a little TV. She's still going to daycare at least once a week and my sister Kate watches her the rest of the time.

Kevin is all done with his Masters program. He now has an MS in Sport Management from SRU - YAY! For now he's job hunting, working part-time at the SportsPlex/for the Riverhounds and he will be working for Balboa as a full-time temp in outbound calls. I'm not clear on what that is, I'll have to get more details and edit this post :)

I'm good. Still at SRU and from what I gather my position is pretty secure here regardless of grant funding and my union has settled it's contract so things are good. We took down our swimming pool a few weeks ago so now we have a HUGE backyard. It looks a little bare but the possibilities are endless. We are talking about putting new flooring in the main part of the house. We had old crappy carpet when we moved in and now it's just YUCK. So we are recruiting friends to help. Keep your fingers crossed for us.

I will post more soon! Hope you are well.
