Just tryin' to stay cool!

| The twins invited us over to go slip 'n' slidin last week! McKenzie had a ball :-) |
 |
| Lauren is quite the slip 'n' slide all-star! |
 |
| Weeee |
 |
| Lauren, Dylan, Hannah and Lynn enjoyed cuddling with Macy. awwww, she's so lucky to have such sweet neighbors! |
 |
| As you can see Dylan is just smitten' by her :-) |

The Cooke cousins came over to play yesterday, as their momma had a busy day of fire fighten' and rescue callin'. Not a minute of shut eye did she get last night, so she was able to go home and take a little nap while Brook and Ally played here.
 |
| It was a nice (actually kind of chilly morning), so we hung out in the front yard. |
 |
| Sidewalk chalkin! |
 |
| Chilling in the Adirondack chair. | |
 |
| Macy and Ally join in the chalk fun. |
Macy says "hey, where's my chalk"? "Mom, Kenzie won't share!"

Gotta also LOVE impromptu Grandpa visits!
 |
| She's so loved :-) |

Cousin Heidi's wedding!
 |
| Pretty sure McKenzie thinks that her cousin's Ashy and Autumn are the COOLEST! Check out the look of admiration. |
|
 |
| Dad, Macy, Grandma Harnisch and cousin Harrison. oh and check out Kenzie in the backround. She's sneaking more chocolate kisses. |
|
 |
| BUSTED! caught ya chocolate faced. The little stinker probably ate/mowd down 79 chocolate kisses that night. aww jeeez. But, I actually think this contributed to her "sugar" crash a couple hours later. While we were dancing and having a good time later on, she was SNOOZIN' on two banquet chairs at our table. hehe. |
 |
| running around with Cousin Mason |
 |

What? You don't know who Ella B. Bella is?? McKenzie sure does! I made friends with Ella's mommy at Heidi's Bachelorette Party a couple weeks ago. We really hit it off, not only because we were the sober ones (nursing mommas), but we also happened to have a million things in common with each other. We both have 3 sisters, we've got the journalism thing in common, we have 2 daughters, we are on the Dave Ramsey financial plan...oh and Leslie published her first children's book a few months ago...something I would LOVE to do myself someday.
 |
| Leslie is a very talented author, and as you can see, these illustrations are ADORABLE! very captivating to my 3 year old. |
We got the Ella B. Bella book in the mail last week and McKenzie just LOVES it. It is soo cute. We read it several times a day. McKenzie was super excited to get to meet Ella in person this past weekend. hehe :-)

| Leslie and her now famous Ella :-) | |
So there...now you know...I am newly inspired...I would LOVE to someday, perhaps, write a children's book of my own. Who know's maybe there's a "Little Miss Macy" book series on the horizon. :-) Wouldn't be for a while, but, hey, a girl can dream can't she??
Anyone know a publisher and good illustrator?

ReplyDeleteOoooops, keep THEM coming!
ReplyDeleteAlways a joy to read your blog! You let me know when you need publisher and stuff like that. Two of my friends have just finished books and I am proud to say that I am in both of them! One is a cancer survivor and she wrote a book about her journey, help for others, my part was about the not surviving and gave some ideas.:( The other gal is in my Mother's Hope group and she lost her son after I did and she wrote a book and interviewed many mom's on losing their children. Can't wait to read her's almost done! So, these two gals both know a lot about the in's & out's of publishing, but also know a lot of people in that area! You can do anything you want...so never give up your dreams!!!!
ReplyDeleteP.S......the kids are so stinkin cute!
