Petting Zoo

There was a Fall Festival last weekend that had a petting zoo. Makenzie loved all the animals. I only got a few pics because there were so many kids running around everywhere that it was hard to get a shot of Makenzie alone with an animal.

The goats were very friendly and licking the kids in their faces.

Below is a picture of Makenzies new camera pose....eyes closed. I think she's sick of the flash going off in her face so now she likes to close her eyes every time I get the camera out. Hopefully she'll grow out of thisphase soon or we'll end up with a whole bunch of Forrest Gump shots!

see what I mean.....

Rainy Day

It was raining the other day before I had to leave for work, but Makenzie wanted to play outside anyways. We put her new raincoat on and she walked around the driveway and sidewalk staring down at it as she walked. She thought it was pretty cool. She doesn't usually like to wear hoods, but I guess since it was a raincoat and made out of funny material she didn't mind it. :)

I wanted to show a before and after of our sunroom. Unfortunately when I uploaded the pics I didn't realize that I should put them in the opposite order that I wanted them to post....so the after pics are the first two and the before pics are the second two.

Just a little background. We moved into a foreclosure that needed a lot of work. The sunroom was definitely one of our longest jobs so far. The floor had nasty smelly carpet that was glued down and the walls were a dark brown. The doors were all filthy as well and needed a fresh coat of paint.

We very happy with the way the room turned out. Now instead of walking through a disgusting room to get to our backyard we can walk through a pleasant room instead!

Big Baby!

Our friends came over the other day with their 4 month old. Makenzie really want to sit in the infant seat in the stroller...

Poor Pete!

Makenzie thinks that Pete is her jungle gym. I feel really bad for him sometimes, but I guess if he didn't enjoy it he could get up and leave the room!

On another note, this pic shows a good view of Petes tail, or lack there of. Any way, the other day Makenzie was behind him and he didn't know it. When they are both standing up her head is even with his butt. His tail (nub) was sticking straight out and she decided to take a taste. He's usually quick with the trap door and puts it down, but he didn't know she was there so she was able to get the whole nub in her mouth.....kind of gross!!!

Shoe mania

Makenzie loves to wear shoes. Here is a picture of her wearing a pair of shoes plus a croc that she found laying around. She walked around for about 2 hours wearing the pair of shoes plus the croc.

Recovered vacation pictures

Above is the last picture that I took before my camera broke. She didn't like the water at the beginning of the week, but by the end she was all about it and loved going in it....up to her feet only!

Taylor got Makenzie her first ice cream cone and it was a hit. She just sat there and shared it with Taylor until it was all gone.
