Staying Cool

McKenna got a pretty cool gift for her 2nd birthday.

Brad, Megan, Brayden, Aunt Krissy, Aunt Beanie, and Aunt Mack all went in together to get her this...


with the steaming summer temperatures we've had, we've finally been able to break it in



and

absolutely love it!






...and their parents love it too!

We're sure to have fun staying cool this summer!

Summer So Far

We are already 23 days into summer.

Time for it to SLOW down.

McKenna, Benson, and I love summer activities. We love the zoo, splash pads, parks, the pool, farmers markets, if it's a summer activity then we will no doubt love it.

There's something about summer...it just makes everything better!

McKenna...Let Down Your Haaaaiiiirrrr!

We celebrated McKenna's 2nd birthday with a Tangled party on Saturday the 14th. She was really excited and couldn't wait to "blow candle out" again. When we asked her "Who's birthday is it?" She had no problem answering..."ME'S!"

She definitely knew it was her special day. That made it all the more fun!

The most special people in McKenna's life were there to celebrate. The only person missing was Aunt Beanie and we missed her like crazy. She's still in San Francisco. AB Facetimed Kenna right before her party, so that they could talk...technology is the best, isn't it?!

Here are a bunch of pictures from Kenna's Birthday #2. What a great day! She is definitely one loved little big girl!


Rapunzel's Tower


All McKenna wanted for her birthday was CUPCAKES! Funny...that changed once she saw all the presents!!!


Hallie & Ben hanging out with the presents. The lounge chair from MiMoo & GP was a big hit!

Here GP try this...I know you'll love it as much as I do!


Aunt Mackie knows how much McKenna loooovvveeesss cake pops and had them made especially for her!




It didn't take long for the birthday girl to dig in!


seriously...how sweet is this kid?! Only Benny would be just as excited for his sister's birthday as he is his own. (or maybe it's that she just let him lick the tower too!)


her big moment...

We couldn't have asked for a more perfect day for our sweet girl. We can't thank our family enough for making it so special for McKenna. We love you all very much.
