my big girl turned 11 years old this week. she opted for a small party (my fave) with a couple of friends and a movie. these girls were so much fun and entirely goofy. they jumped on the trampoline, played killer, watched harry potter and stayed up talking until 6 a.m.

mackenzie is truly sweet, honest, sensitive, fun, goofy and an all around good kid. happy birthday to you, kenz!

the girls finished thier soccer season on saturday and to celebrate, they wanted to go see their granny and grandpa mac. they were tipped off earlier in the week that grandpa mac had made two additions to the varmint's roost, but he would not reveal what they were. so, we headed out to the pmf to find out. much to their delight, g-mac added a swing and a fireman's pole to the roost. jackson was just happy to ride on the tractor!
