McKinley at this age





McKinley cracks me up!  She has such an active personality and is such an entertainer!!  She loves to put on "shows" and each shows begins with the same introduction:

Ladies and Gentlemen
Please take your seats and start to begin (the show is about to begin)
Girls and Boys
The Show is................... (and she pauses here and comes up with her title)

A.  McKinley singing (insert song here)
Song choices this summer have been either Cruise or Baby get your Shine on

B.  McKinley singing a school song:
*Skid-a-marink
*ABC's
*Squiggly Fish
*Pitter Patter Rain Drops

C.  McKinley replicating Dora or The Fresh Beats and she proceeds to dance and sing here

D.  Something random that she comes up with on the spot and is usually funny!!!








She also has several imaginary friends.  Her BEST Imaginary friend is "Challah".  From what we have gathered, Challah comes from Mexico and has several siblings:  Pilla, Milla, and Nilla.   Sometimes they siblings go camping or get sick often.  They also are somehow related to Pinky.   Another funny is she has two other I Friends named Galla and Ria and they come from the Galleria!!!  They don't make an appearance as often as Challah and her brothers and sisters.  She calls Challah on the phone, has detailed conversations with her and even uses Challah to try and get herself out of trouble (Challah told me it was ok to get out of bed and grab a book, etc).



First Day of Preschool 2013


This day was bittersweet.  This summer has been a lot of fun and a lot of adventures, but it's also been tough and challenging at times.  Trying to successfully parent a 3 year old is quite humbling.  However,
I have high hopes for this school year!  Mac did great, I was prepared for tears but she was a champ!!!  I had a few tears myself as we left the parking lot because she is getting so big and growing so fast!  I love you McKinley Jo!!!!

Labor Day Weekend 2013 part 2



It wouldn't be a fun weekend unless Uncle Matt, Aunt Dani and Papaw were included too!  They came to Cassville on Sunday to spend the day with us  -  actually who am I kidding, they came to see Mac!

Labor Day Weekend 2013





We headed to Gma and Bill's for Labor Day and it was just what we needed.  Gma and Bill live really close to the Roaring River so we headed there on Saturday to cool off.  The water was a tad cold but felt refreshing with the heat!  That night we headed to Steak Inn- one of our favorite places to eat and it did not disappoint!
