Mackenzie's 7th Birthday

I can't believe Mackenzie just celebrated her 7th birthday! It seems like just yesterday she was a little baby and now she's growing up so fast! Mackenzie celebrated her 7th birthday in style by having a "Fashion Show" birthday party! Our house was filled with 9 giggling girls putting on make-up, doing their nails and getting ready to strut their stuff on the runway!
My Mom and I made Mackenzie's cake! It's supposed to be Polly Pockets walking on the runway! We ran into a problem when the dolls kept wanting to fall over - so we had to stick them into the cake really far! This made it look like they had no legs!! Oh well, it still tasted great!


We gave Mackenzie a new bike for her birthday - complete with hand brakes and gears!

Go Karting

This past Saturday we headed to Winkler to do some go-karting and mini golfing with a group of friends! The kids were too little to drive the go-karts by themselves but they had a great time as a passenger with Mom in the driver's seat! Mini-golf was a little more challenging as we had seven eager little swingers ready to hit that ball!

Fall Fun

The kids have had fun this fall in our backyard! This spring we planted one pumpkin seed in our garden which quickly overtook the whole area and produced over 8 pumpkins!! The kids were very excited to harvest them the other night and of course the scrapbooker in me saw a great photo op so I took out my camera and started snapping!! Mackenzie, as always was very cooperative! Cole on the other hand was a big goof and kept making silly faces etc! I finally gave up trying to get a nice picture and just took a whole bunch of goofy ones! The kids also had a great time playing in the leaves! Notice the preview to Cole's Halloween costume! We bought it on Saturday and he hasn't taken it off since!!
