Videos... Finally!

We are finally able to upload videos to our blog! If you only have time to look at one, you have to watch the one of "Moo-Kenzie!" It is absolutely the most adorable thing to watch her walk into the Chickfila in her little outfit with her little tail wiggling. We will never forget this fun family day, she still talks about it!

The 'Tude

She told me she was going to Dunkin Donuts, I said, "Love ya, bye!"... didn't know she really meant it... she wasn't too thrilled when I wouldn't open the gate for her!

It's hard to be two when your mother won't let you walk down the street to your neighborhood Dunkin Donuts!

Soccer Fun

We had such a great day today! We ditched naps (I think that's happened like all of three times!) and went to Uncle "Deedaa"'s soccer game! It was such a gorgeous day and a great place to spend it! We had so much fun at the park afterwards, Aubrey was LOVING the swings!

Houston... We Have A Tooth!

Would all of this growing up just stop?? Aubrey just let out a yelp from her crib and it was the kinda of cry that makes you stop what you're doing and go see what's wrong... well, I picked her up and looked her over, she looked fine... then I stuck my finger on her gums to see if they were sore and I got poked by a tooth on her bottom gum! Yesterday she was almost crawling and today she has a tooth... where did my little baby go?? I wish there was a way to keep them six months and two-years-old forever! The grandfather who was ringing up my groceries for me today at the grocery store was making me get all teary-eyed as he told me not to blink because they grow up and get married before you know it! And if that didn't make me choke up enough, the fact that the lady standing behind me in line looked like my Nana's twin sure did! I was staring and staring at her and the more I think about her the more teary-eyed I become... it felt like I was in line with my Nana! She was talking to my girls and talking to me about her groceries and just the way she smiled and had her hair done and moved her hands reminded me so much of my grandmother who went home to be with the Lord when I was 15. I was so tempted to tell her that she reminded me of my Nana and ask her if I could just give her a hug, but instead I gave her a coupon for her groceries and saved my tears for the car... Mackenzie was throwing all of the grocery bags on the floor and Aubrey was screaming her head off so it was so it was time to go! It's been an emotional day for Julie Moon... can you tell?? Only 8 more hours and I can go to bed!

Rainy Day Activities!

Tummy off the floor...

Almost crawling!! And only 6 months old!!

School Days...

We are halfway through our first sememster of the homeschool co-op at our church. Mackenzie is LOVING her "school"... Ryhthm Rainbow Class. I got to teach three times already and I'm up to bat once more at the end. Jess and Shana have been doing a great job teaching and as much as I love teaching, I think I like participating as a mom even more!

We learned about the color green this week, the star shape, and the concept over/under. We glued green leaves on a tree and read the story of Zaccheus. We say Twinkle, Twinkle, Little Star and ran, hopped, and walked around the room holding hands. I love this class!! I wish homeschooling could stay this easy =)

Aubrey was an honorary student this week. Usually she has special Memom time and a nap during our class, but she held up for the whole time this week and looked ever so important sitting there like a big girl! She's sneaky though... twice now she's been sitting ever so properly just like this at home and little did I know that she pooped out of her diaper, up her back, and ONTO THE FLOOR!! She had TWO baths today and it's only 3 in the afternoon!!

More "Fend" Time

We had the privilege of babysitting Liv for Jamie on Friday... here are all the girls lined up and ready to eat! Mackenzie kept trying to share her food with Liv since she was convinced that Liv had to eat "yucky" food!

Speaking of food... Jeff and Angie came over the other night and Angie and I made smores in the microwave since our firepit is out of commission until we get our grass to grow. I figured I put a picture of myself on here since I'm always behind the camera =)

We are currently in the middle of a million projects in our "non-project" house! I stripped the wallpaper down in our dining room and got all of the goo off the walls, that was QUITE the project. We still need to spackle and sand before we can paint... but it's getting somewhere!

Mackenzie likes to help me paint... I give her a paint brush (she took a bite out of the top of this foam one) and a little bit of water and she goes to town painting the walls. I love how she can't just paint the walls, but has to stand on her pink "helper chair" to do it! Oh.... and the band-aid on the forehead is totally for looks, she got a teeny-tiny scratch and insisted that she needed a princess band-aid!

Hopefully I'll be posting finished project pictures SOON!!
