Great shots of Pop-pop and Mckaley

Some great shots of Mimi and Mckaley

Disney on Ice

Mckaley took her entourage (7 family members) to Disney on Ice the Thursday before Easter. The pictures didn't come out as well as I had hoped.  She had a great time, but I think Tyler and Keegan may have like the show the best.  Here are some of the pics. . .

We happened to see Scott and Kadie there as well!

I'll get the pics up soon, I promise. . .

So, I have about 200 pictures I need to look through before I upload them into my computer and then I promise I'll have Easter pics on the blog!  We did everything this past weekend, from Disney on Ice, Easter crafts, Mimi Cathy's bday party, Easter egg hunt, and Easter baskets galore.  More to come :-D

Riding horses

Abbey, Tyler and I took Mckaley to their friends house so that she could get a chance to look at their horses.  Not only did she get a chance to look at them, but the dad even saddled one named Bixbey up for Mckaley to ride all by herself.  She was a little hesitant at first, but then hopped right up and took a stroll around the farm.  She had a great time riding Bixbey and LOVED every second of it.  After the ride we let her run all around the ranch with the other kids, bounce on their trampoline, and after all that they even invited us to sit with them for a wonderful taco salad dinner outside.   It was so nice of them to have us over.  A night like this makes me really appreciate big families living in small places!  I just think it is so wonderful for kids to grow up in that type of environment where they get up early to do their chores (feed the chickens, take the horses out for exercise, etc) and then they get to run around outside and play all day.  I love it!

To the lake!

Going to the lake has always been a big part of my family's life.  We were lucky enough to have family and friends who would always take us to the lakes in California.  When we were in high school, my parents bought a house on Lake Tulloch where my brother and I would spend EVERY summer.  We would have a blast tubing, wakeboarding, or just cruising around on the boat.  I have been lucky to share this experience with Mckaley at such a young age.  She absolutely loves the water, so when we moved from CA to AZ I knew this was one thing she would miss.  Luckily, there is a lake 30 minutes from where we live in AZ!!!!  So, Mckaley and I took a day trip while dad did the taxes (thx Ty) to check it out.  Here are some pictures of our great day!!!
