Makenzie and her Body Butter

Makenzie loves to smell lotion, any kind of lotion, but her favorite is body butter.

Whenever she finds some she has to have the cover taken off so that she can smell it over and over and then offer a smell to whoever is standing near by. Not only does the other person have to smell the body butter, they have to say "mmmmm", just like Kenzie.

I asked Manny today what kind of Birthday Party he would like to have this year (meaning theme).

He replied, "the kind of party with presents."

The long-awaited play date

After many weeks, okay months of, "we should get the boys together". Kim and I finally got Manny and Chasen together to play.

Here are the boys digging holes in the driveway:

Dancing with the cousin

A couple of weeks ago Manny and Makenzie's cousin Gracie came down to visit. Of course that involved a trip to Toys R Us where Gracie bought a dancing game.

Gracie and Makenzie loved it as you can see.

Love this Picture!

I had just taken Kenzie out of the tub and she was wrapped up in a towel when Joe snapped this picture...love it!
