MacKenzie's 1st Birthday

April 18th 2009

Pre-Party decorating

It's finally here, the day MacKenzie turns one year old. Right about this time last year I was giving birth to this beautiful little girl.

It must be almost time for the guests to arrive, MacKenzie has her party dress on now.

Everyone thought the cake looked fabulous - LET'S EAT!!!




MacKenzie got here very own Banana, Cheerio muffin with whipped cream.




And she ate every last little crumb.

The Fun Never Stops

It's time to open up some presents

Thanks to everyone for all the wonderful gifts

"Little People" have certainly come a long way since I was a kid.

Up Where the Air is Clear

April 17th 2009- It was a gorgeous day outside. PE and I took MacKenzie for a walk down to the postbox at the end of our road.

It was the first time this year that MacKenzie need to wear a sun hat - it was so nice out!

Daddy loved having his little girl on his shoulders,

and she loved it too!!

We're Walking, Yes Indeed, We're Walking!

April 16th - Sarah and I have been taking McKenzie for all sorts of walks lately. This particular walk was at The Cascades. I bet you like going for hikes too Onyx. Kenzie just loves it!

Turkey and Ham - Does it get any better?

April 13th 2009 - Easter is here! We shared Easter with our friends at the Newranski's house. Pete and Uncle PE are testing the gravy to make sure it's edible.

MacKenzie loves hanging out with the McNeills. They even have a special name for her. They call her "Baby Mac"

This is Ceighan Lindeman being silly :-)

Good Friday

April 10th 2009 - MacKenzie got her very first Easter present ever!

She obviously was very excited to open it

Troy and Nancy went all out

Although Kenzie did love the bunny and bunny duck, she loved the wrapping paper even more.

Once they're unwrapped it's time to play with them.

Purple is the New Pink

April 2nd - Was Ryleigh's Birthday Party

Kenzie was all dresses up in the pink cowboy boots Nana got for her

Those are some pretty weird faces you're making,

but very cute none the less.

April 1st - Shopping at the Superstore for some SUPER COOL GLASSES!!

Mr.Tedd E Bear

March 24th 2009 - As one of her baby shower gifts MacKenzie got a homemade Teddy Bear.

His fur was so soft she immediately fell in love with him

We named him Mr. Tedd E Bear


Thank you Nikki for the very special gift!

Do you have a cat Onyx? Well, MacKenzie does and her name is Clancey! Sometimes the cat runs away when MacKenzie comes near. Today however, she was enjoying the extra special attention.

The Toilet Paper Incident

March 20th 2009 - MacKenzie is an absolute cutie! She is always playing, talking to herself and having fun.

So when I haven't heard her for a couple of minutes, I know she's most likely doing something she shouldn't be (I'm sure you never do anything you shouldn't Onyx!)

Her new favorite "naughty" thing to do is to unroll the toilet paper. Sometimes she eats it and sometimes she just tears it into a thousand little pieces.

And when she finishes with one roll she just moves onto the next one. Good thing there is ample supply!

Marshmallows and Hotdogs

March 19th 2009 - Our ladies bible study group got together to have a bonfire last night.

The weather has started to warm up so it was a beautiful evening to be outside.

MacKenzie joined us for a few minutes. Then it was time for her to hang out with daddy in the house. But not before one last picture with Stephanie.

We ate marshmallows and sang songs. Then we headed inside for some hot chocolate, cookies and a board game.


We had such a wonderful time together!
