Easter 2012

 Meet our new bunny Rocco! Fun Easter morning surprise for these girls who

have been dying for a pet.

In-N-Out

I have a no cooking while Robert is out of town policy-which usually means breakfast for dinner.  But we decided to spice things up and went to In-N-Out for dinner while dad was in St. George. Char's favorite? Ketchup covered straw. MmmMmm

Rex Lee Run 2012

I think the Smiths will make this a tradition. 

I can't tell you how long Robert has been wanting this cougar picture. A dream come true for dad.

Charlotte is here in the stroller pushed by me but she is hidden by Pat's finger. Haha. Pat just wanted to make it into our family picture. The big girls loved getting out of the stroller to run through the finish line- their first race :) We made it into a Provo overnighter with J Dawgs (the perfect pre race food right?) and swimming at the hotel. Same time and place next year?

Happiest Place

 Licorice smile on the plane!

 Snails anyone? Robert told Brookie he would give her a dollar to eat one and

Mackenzie said NO Brooklyn I'll give you a dollar not to eat one!

 Pirate princesses! They looked so cute. We already have Halloween costumes

picked out for next year.

 Matchy matchy.

 Grandma Carol (what a trooper) with the gang.

Feeding the dolphins!

Quote of the Week

At Mackenzie's birthday party I asked her friend Nela if her mom is a doctor. She said "yes, she gets out babies."
Brooklyn responded "Did she get out her own babies?"

Ski School

Mackenzie took 6 lessons up at Snowbird this winter. I'd be lying to say she skipped out the door all smiles for all the ski days. But once she got dropped off she was great. I'm so impressed with how good she got so quickly. I decided to take a couple lessons, too, since I've never skied before. Now we're ready to be a ski family.

Here is Mackenzie with Miss Natasha. The last few weeks they put kitty whiskers on and did a lot of meowing. Smart move by teacher. Kenzie loves kitties.

Miss M is 6

February 7. What a day. Breakfast in bed for the birthday girl:

Mackenzie chose to take a few friends for pedicures and cupcakes for her party.

Brooklyn, Ella Sharp, Ryan Lopez, Mackenzie, Nela Stehlik, Paige Sutherland

And of course she wants to finish off the day with breadsticks at Olive Garden.

Our family is so lucky to have Mackenzie as the biggest sister. She is smart and kind. She is silly and fun. We are amazed as we watch her grow. Happy birthday Mackenzie. We love you!

Oh, and we can't forget that Mackenzie got to blow out candles with Uncle Dave at the family get together! Yay for birthday buddies!
