Mckenzie's Check-up

Today was Mckenzie's 4 year old check-up! It's crazy to see the records from when she born up to now and it's amazing how fast she's growing-up!

This picture was when she was about 5 days old in the hospital. Her stats when she was born:
Weight: 5 lbs 15 oz.
Height: 19 3/4 inches


This is Mckenzie now just after her 4th birthday!
Weight: 37.38 lbs (she's gained 7 lbs in the last year!!!)
Height: 39 1/4 inches (she's grown 2 inches taller!!)

Needing to Update

I've fallen far behind on the blog and don't really know where to begin, so instead of spending tons of time going through all the things we've done in the recent past, I'll just start here and give an update on each of us:




Dan:
Dan is staying really busy with work, family, church and exercise! I've always been the one in the family to exercise (and enjoy it), but since being pregnant and dealing with my headaches and faintiness (don't think that's a word) and dizziness, I haven't been able to much and I'm jealous! He continues to enjoy working with the young men and having a break once in awhile from princesses, castles, dress-up, nail polish, emotions, etc.

Jessica (ME) is, well, 22 weeks pregnant. We went to a Red Sox game the other night and I told Dan the seats were getting smaller. He said it wasn't the seat, it was me getting bigger. Hmm. I'll just keep telling myself it's the seats. My headaches died down for about 2 weeks and they seem to be coming back. UGH! Primary is primary. That's about all I want to say about that... The summer is here and I'm loving it. We spend a good amount of time at the pool and it's wonderful! Next stop, the beach! Oh how I love the beach!

Mckenzie loves to do anything and everything active! She starts a soccer camp next week and she can't wait! She loves running, swimming, coloring, writting, dancing and singing! Last week the Primary had a talent show and Mckenzie sang in front of everyone, by herself, "I Am a Child of God"! Mckenzie continues to have tons of energy! She has the warmest heart and tries to find ways to help others be happy.

Abby is a girl! Anything girly she loves. From dolls, to dress up, to make-believe, to bows in her hair, to dresses, to "I look so pretty", to lipstick. She loves it all! She's sweet, precious and easy-going, yet STUBBORN, fiesty and opinionated...already. She finds it entertaining to pick on Mckenzie. hmm. She loves to cuddle and she melts everyone's hearts.

Mckenzie's 4 Years Old!!!

MCKENZIE TURNED 4!!! (I'm a little behind on the blog AND need to pull the pictures off my camera, so stay tuned for those)
I can't believe Mckenzie is 4! She had a terrific birthday filled with lot's of presents, a yummy breakfast and dinner and an awesome "castle" cake... oh and of course, her Aunt Bree came to celebrate with her!

Mckenzie is such a sweet blessing to us! She's energetic, sensitive, creative, silly, musically gifted (not sure where she got that), artistic (again, not from me), and has an incredibly warm heart! She's developing talents daily including writing, counting higher and higher and higher, soccer, and shopping (she LOVES to pick out outfits for her and Abby at stores and LOVES shoes)! She's a terrific big sister and can't wait to have a new baby sister to help take care of! Mckenzie makes us laugh and smile each day! I love my little "sunshine bear"!
