UPDATE: Kenz had her 18 mo. check yesterday and she is 23 lbs. & 32 inches long. Everything looks great, growing like a normal girl. It was her last day of swimming lessons yesterday...which I'm sure she is very happy about! The rest of the fam is doing good, Ryan is back roving everyday so who knows where he will end up day to day. Cheer has been keeping me very busy lately with camps and practices, but I love it! Until next time....
Mackenzie's swimming lessons are now half over. She is doing really well. She still cries when it is her turn to swim but she is kicking really well (and straight now) and she is getting better at the "cat walk" and turning to find the edge. Here are a few pictures from this week. I'm also including a couple new ones of Kaci (who is growing so big!) 
Last Thursday me, the girls and Nama went to Desert Ridge to hit up a Sale at Carter's, and ended up making a whole day of it. We luckily went to Carter's first and got the girls new swimming suits for this summer. On our way to find something to eat we found the fountains instead. Mackenzie of course wanted to go in the "watey". I put her new suit on her right there and let her have at it. While she was playing and making friends, Nama went and bought her a beach towel since we were not prepared at all! She played and played for over an hour until she was soaking wet and shivering. Getting her out of the water was not quite as fun but we managed to get her out dried off and ready for lunch. After some lunch we packed up to head home and Mackenzie and Kaci both were asleep in their car seats before we even got back on the freeway. They both slept better that night than they EVER have...I may be heading to the fountains more often! Here are some pictures. 
Mommy was doing her make up tonight when Mackenzie became VERY interested. Every morning when getting ready I pretend to put blush and powder on Mackenzie because she wants some too. But tonight she was adamant about getting her make up done so I figured, why not? I let her pick all of her colors. She chose pink blush which she kept asking, "more, more, more" and then she chose a purple eye shadow and a red lipstick. She held very still while I put it on and was SO Proud of herself when she was all done and looked in the mirror!
