Crazy kids

Mackenzie has begun to really love dress up.  She loves playing with Sadie and doing whatever she is doing.  Some of her dress-up outfits have been a little interesting...

Fairy dress, winter hat, bunny backpack

She has always loved make-up, and applies it whenever she is able to get her hands on it!  Our trip to Jeff and Lauren's house was the best *funniest* make-up job yet...

Braden has been a busy guy as well and enjoys preschool and especially time on his bike.   He has always been a bike fanatic and would ride it whenever he had the chance.


July 2009



He wasn't happy about going through the summer without it since it was stolen at our house, but made do with the scooter instead.  We finally bought a new bike for him in September and retaught him to ride without training wheels.  First day back on, he had a pretty bad accident and crashed when he ran off the curb of the sidewalk, smashing his head on the ground in a parking lot.

He was wearing a helmet, but that didn't really protect the front of his face.  He took of the skin above his eye, and there was a cut as well. It really upset him to see the blood dropping all over the ground, and Sadie screaming "Blood!  Blood!" made him even more upset.  I wasn't having the best luck that day though and managed to lock my keys in my car (I don't think I've ever done hat before!) and had no way to take care of his wound.  Plus having 3 kids with 3 bikes with me made it a little difficult to go anywhere very fast.  Luckily Jason was on his way back from work and saved the day.  By that time I was able to clean him up in the park bathroom and realize he didn't need stitches for the cut above his eye (it was hard to tell when there was blood all over)  Since then he has been non-stop riding and no more accidents (knock on wood!)
