Kenny's Annual Toga Run

Every year Kenny's running group from work, takes a run down highway 528 in togas! They run down to McDonalds, order Caesar salad, eat and then run back to Intel. They just do it for kicks and for the looks they get as they run down the street. Not my idea of fun in July New Mexico heat but Kenny loves it!

Keeps ya laughing...

Okay, I have no pictures for this one but I have to post this while it's still fresh in my mind! Mackenzie is so funny and she cracks me up everyday. I have so many funny stories, but I forget them before Kenny gets home! I love Heather's idea of posting funny stories, so here it goes.

First story: We all decided to go to Mom's church this past Sunday (I don't know why, I just wanted to - before anyone asks me). I was getting the girls all dressed up in their matching white dresses and looking cute. I was putting Mackenzie's dress on and she asked me "Mom, where are we going?" I told her we are going to church with Nana. Mackenzie says:

"Don't be silly Mom, we don't go to church!" (nuff said)

Next story: Mackenzie has really been into the rhyming game lately. While we are driving in the car we practice our rhyming words and we make a game out of it. She is now starting to catch on and it's really fun. This is how the game went in the car today.

Mom: Let's start with tree
Cameron: bee
Mackenzie: three!!! (quite proud of herself)
Cameron: knee
Mom: glee

Mom: Next word is door
Cameron: more
Mackenzie: .... (thinking)
Mom: store
Cameron: core
Mackenzie: hor ................ (long pause) se
Mom: laughing so hard I blew diet coke out of my nose!

Mom: (still laughing) Next word is neat
Cameron: seat
Mackenzie: Pete (nope, don't know where she got that name, but it rhymed)
Mom: treat
Cameron: meat
Mackenzie: Chicken!

I love kids. You have constant entertainment!

At the park with Dad

Kenny is so great about taking the kids to the park and letting them run off their energy!

Fourth of July Holiday!

For the July 4th Holiday we had the Missionaries and our neighbors over for a BBQ and some fireworks. What a fun day! Mackenzie was all dressed up and ready to pose for the camera!

It is hard work being a model. I better get my beauty sleep before dinner and fireworks!

Cameron decorated the back wall for the party! What a great chalk drawing Cammy!

Now the firework show!

Lunch in the park

Well since I have to work Monday thru Friday now I have started my new job instead of working shift work, I am missing hanging out with my family during the day. However my wonderful wife had a great idea recently. She packed up sandwiches, drinks and snacks and picked me up for a surprise lunch with the kids.

We all headed over to Haynes Park across the road from Intel and had a great little lunch date where we ate and played in the park with the whole family on a beautiful sunny day.

I can't think of a better way to spend my lunch hour!

Check out the pics.

Rain Chains and glow in the dark Mini Golf

Yesterday we went to Osuna Nursery to find some new flowers for our front yard. Mackenzie wasn't interested in walking around looking at plants, but she did find a white butterfly that she chased around the nursery.

Then she found some rain chains and played in the water until she was very wet! This is why I always have the camera in my purse. You never know when there will be a picture opportunity!

Then we went to an indoor play place and also played glow in the dark mini golf. Cameron had a friend with him to play golf too.

Kisses...

Scarlett is learning to give kisses and it's so cute. Mackenzie loves asking Scarlett for big, sloppy kisses! hehe
