A little lime anyone?



Kids like some strange things. Like limes! McKinley loves them despite the sour faces she gives with each bite. See exhibit A:


She takes a bite.


Discovers it's sour and pulls a face then...

she smiles and does it all over again!

Mother's Day

Matt made me this beautiful plate of food for breakfast. Take note of the heart shaped french toast. How sweet! That was all his idea although I think he saw me looking at a picture of eggs in a frame where a person had used a heart shaped cookie cutter to make the frame the day before. He even made me my favorite syrup. Have you tried that yet? You really need to try it! It's the yummiest, carmeliest thing ever and it's super quick and easy to make!

In nursery McKinley made me a flower out of her traced handprints. She thought it was good for dancin! Later she ate the flower. Yes that's right she took a big ol' bite of the fingers or should I say "petals" off and ate and swallowed it. The little stinker.



At church our ward gave each of the women a carnation. I thought it was funny that McKinley thought to put it in her mouth just like in the movies. Who know's, maybe she wanted to eat it too! It was a fabulous day. I even got to take a nap. I must say being a mom to that little flower eating stinker is the best job I could ever have!

Let's Go Fly a Kite

Let's go fly a kite. Up to the highest height. Oh let's go fly a kite! McKinley LOVES her Uncle Brycen as well as all her other uncles of course:). She randomly says, "uncle brycie" all the time. It's one of her favorite phrases to say right now and I think it's for reasons like these.

We went and visited my family over Easter and Brycen flew kites with McKinley and as you can see she was impressed!

The Alaskan Inn

For Matt's 28th birthday my parents got us a room at the Alaskan Inn up in Ogden's Canyon. It was very pretty up there and we felt very spoiled we even got breakfast in bed. I loved it! I even managed to keep the trip a secret and surprise him. He thought we were just going to visit my family, but we were actually just going to drop McKinley off.

The Ogden river was right out our window. It is behind my head in this picture. Not that you can see it. :) The water was raging! I would hate to fall into that stream!

Matt told me to pose. Does anyone else hate getting their picture taken by themself? I do. So here is my Vana White pose for you. I don't know if they'd ever take me on Wheel of Fortune. Have I ever mentioned I am like an old person because I love Wheel of Fortune! I just hate when the contestants don't get the simple puzzles. I am one of those people yelling the answer at the t.v. screen as though they could actually hear me!

Queen Elizabeth

My mom got McKinley this fancy coat and my brother's kept teasing her that it was an old lady coat. I think it's pretty darn cute on her.

The glasses really complete the look.

We call it her Queen Elizabeth coat. Doesn't she look like royalty?

Bedhead


McKinley's hair is naturally curly and because of this she wakes up with some pretty fancy bedhead like this one.
