Easter!!!!---2010

We had a fun day today. Going to church to be with our church family then coming home to a dinner with our dear family and some of their friends. As you can tell, Mackenzie just loves me so much and I get so thrilled about that. Teslin gets sooo excited when she sees me but I think she gets more excited about seeing her grandpa--she just squeals with delight when she sees him!
This has been a wonderful day--I love Easter and the hope that it brings because of Christ's resurrection!

Happy Thanksgiving

Happy Thanksgiving

Isn't this the most pathetically adorable baby face!!

I have so much to be thankful for. I'm so thankful that my whole family was together for a couple of days here in Phoenix! We all planned to meet here for Thanksgiving except for my son and his wife who live in New York City. Anyways, he and his wife surprised us all by meeting us at the airport as we arrived. They were only able to stay a couple of days and a good time was had by all. My brother Kenny and his wife and daughter will be here to celebrate with us, so it will be a wonderful time. We were able to bring Alaskan King Crab, salmon, and halibut down with us, thanks to my brother, Kenny. It has been enjoyed by every one and the highlight of the Thanksgiving feast will be the crab salad!!!! Thank God for families!!!
Have a wonderful Thanksgiving.

Hugs

Mackenzie is sooo excited that she can put her shoes on and take them off!!

Treasured hugs from papauk and gamma!

Just plain adorable!

Mt Rainer in the distance. This is some of the scenery from the ferry ride from Kingston to Edmonds on our trip to the airport to say goodbye to the family. (that was the worst part of the trip)
Mackenzie is 22 months old and already can say the ABC's and count to 10 and attempts to count to 20. I love the way she says eleven. She knows most of the animal names and their sounds. She says "chirp,chirp" for a bird sound. It is tooo cute. A couple of times in the middle of doing something she comes out with, "Oh, gosh", it was too funny. I told her mom and she said that she doesn't know where that came from. She picks up things so quickly. She can jump up and down like you would jump a jump rope-it is hilarious. She is always saying "thank you" and so I would do the same when she would hand me something and she started saying "you welcome" (too cute) Cute words she has for food---- munch for lunch, chichen for chicken, chechup for ketchup. Well, this grandma thinks Mackenzie is "one amazing" baby!!
It just tore us up to have to leave her-she just blessed us to the core. We thank the Lord for our family.
