Happy Birthday, Kari!

Happy Birthday Mommy!!!

When dad told me how you were today, I couldn’t believe it. I can’t even count that high. He also told that I am supposed to be nice to you and let you sleep peacefully. I told him that I am always nice as long as I get what I want and you can sleep as peacefully as you want, as long as I am asleep too. Don’t worry about over sleeping; I will let you know when I am ready to get up. I sent him to the store to get you a present, otherwise I would have to roll all the down the hill to get there myself. I don’t know what he got you but I do hope that it is something I can chew on. Thanks for being a great mom and I hope you have a great day.

Love,

McKenzie



Happy Birthday Kari!!!

It’s still hard for me to think of you as a mom, but even scarier is that I am a dad. McKenzie and I hope that you have a wonderful day. We are both lucky to have someone like you in our lives to help with the things we can’t do and make us laugh when we need to smile. There is no telling what McKenzie has in store for you today, but I am sure it will put a smile on your face. I love you and I will use one of your favorite sayings for your birthday wish: Live Well, Love Much, and Laugh Often.

Love,

Brant

Professional Pics

We had a great photographer come take pictures again. She has a few up on her blog if you want to take a look: http://www.mitzipenickphotography.blogspot.com/.

It's a Hard Knock Life

McKenzie is so close to crawling that she can barely stand it. She gets up on all fours...
And then takes a nose dive. You can see below how she feels about it.
Yes, you needed to see a close up of that crazy face!

Snow Days

Well, looks like I'll be teaching into July this summer, but at least I've enjoyed the last few days with McKenzie. We went out for a brief photo shoot on Tuesday.

Jump Around

Just a few pics from the jumper. She has a lot more fun in this contraption these days. Loves to spin herself around and bounce. She also enjoys chewing on the rope.

Exercise Ball

"Woohoo! This is fun!"
"How many reps do I have left?"

"Watch the corner of that desk, Pops.""Please tell Dad I'm done."

Well at least someone in the family is getting some use out of the exercise ball. McKenzie enjoyed it quite a bit.

Just Wakin' Up

Snapped this pic as McKenzie was waking up from a nap with her daddy. Check out the photo album for several new pics.

Loveless Cafe

McKenzie wore a t-shirt from the Loveless Cafe in Nashville that Jenny got for her. She looked so cute in it and this picture just cracked me up.
