Bedtime
Recently, Mackenzie was feeling pretty rambunctious at bedtime! She was all over the place and I couldn't help but snap a few shots of her before putting her down for the night.
Must ... have ... silkie ...
Almost got it....

Pretty girl!!!
I took about 38,291 pictures of Mackenzie this morning but in my defense she looked PRECIOUS! I've uploaded a small sample so that you can see for yourself.

Brides for the Cure
Mackenzie and I took a trip to Fayetteville this weekend to join the Brides for the Cure in the Race for the Cure of the Ozarks!
We left Friday night around 7:30 which sounds very late, but it was for the best. I wanted Mackenzie to stay on her schedule as much as possible so we didn't leave until it was time for her to be going to bed for the night. And just so I remember, this worked PERFECTLY and she went right back to sleep when we got there and I put her in the pack-n-play. My best friend, Mary, and her hubby, Brandon, were, as always, so sweet to let us stay with them and hang out all weekend!

Saturday morning, we were up at 5am to get ready and leave for the Promenade in Rogers where the race was being held. We met up with Kelli, her mom Teresa, and Amy at the Promenade and joined the rest of the Brides for the Cure for breakfast and signed up for lots of wedding give-aways (which, unfortunately none of us won, but oh well!!). At 8am, we started the race and walked 3 miles for our Mimi who is a breast cancer SURVIVOR!! It was great to see all of the people racing for such a great cause! The awesome sponsors who set up the Brides for the Cure team had the cutest t-shirts, the yummiest breakfast, and just the most fun in general!

take together in the years to come!

My sweet baby girl!!
With Auntie Mary before the race started
This sweet little old man was walking by himself in the
race and had all of us girls crying after reading his tag.
Almost finished!! Lindsey, Mary, Kelli, Amy, me, and Mackenzie!
When we left the race, we headed to one of my personal favorites, Chick-fil-a, for lunch with the girls and Mackenzie showed them just how big she was by sitting in her highchair and being super sweet (for the most part)! After all of that - it was TIME FOR A NAP! We then spent the afternoon with Aunt Mary shopping at the NWA Mall - which I miss very much!
Sunday, Mackenzie woke me up bright and early at 6:30, had her morning bottle and didn't want to go back down for her nap which she badly needed. So, I put her in the car and drove her around the college town that her mommy misses more than words can say. This worked out great because within 10 minutes, she was fast asleep which left me some quiet time to cruise around Fayetteville.
We headed back to Mary & Brandon's house to pack the car up and maybe do a little more shopping before heading home. While I packed up all of our stuff (I swear that going on a weekend trip with Mackenzie is like packing my life up for a month!), she played in her pack-n-play and watched her new Baby Einstein movie about Neighborhood Animals and LOVED it!!!
Uncle Scottie even came to visit before we left and she loved that too!
It was sad to say good-bye to Mary, Brandon, Scott, and Fayetteville, but we were anxious to get home and see Daddy! Unfortunately, the trip home did not go NEARLY as well as the trip up and I will never, EVER again leave on a trip that lasts more than 30 minutes unless it's Mackenzie's bedtime or naptime! We got home safe and sound last night and Mackenzie had the biggest smile on her face when we opened the door to the house. It was like she realized she was home and she was soooo happy for the rest of the night. She couldn't stop giggling and smiling and just looking around at the house and Daddy! It was the sweetest thing to see how much she loves her home.
All in all, it was a wonderful trip! Mary and B - thanks for having us! You are the best friends anyone could ever hope for! We love you so much!
Mackenzie - thank you for going with me for such a special event and making it even more fun! I love you more than words can say!

Yummy Spaghetti
After we picked Mackenzie up from daycare, we took some time to play before dinner. This little girl is growing TOO FAST!
For dinner, we tried spaghetti for the very first time and it was a very messy success!
