Miss MacKenzie

MacKenzie has been extra cute lately. :) Here she is taking my place in bed so that I cannot just crawl right back in. Brat. ;)
"Wanna play ball?!"
"Ah, I love the shade."
A few shots of our little girl resting with her ball in the shade. She's the best.

Pacers vs. OKC

Friday night we went to the Pacers vs. OKC game. It was SO fun. The fieldhouse was actually packed and the energy was great. The Pacers played so well that it was just incredible to watch. We loved it.
Jackson looking adorable for our night out.
I love the Pacers' mascot, Boomer. He is so entertaining during the game. He saddled in and rode the banner to to top of the building. It was awesome!
He was all the way up there. I could never do that! EEK! We went to dinner afterwards at my favorite Mexican place, Adobo. It was so good. We had such a fun night- I loved it! :)

Happy birthday, Kathryn

MacKenzie and her minders would like to wish Ms. Kathryn Coomes a very happy (nearly 40th) birthday today. We all hope you have a great day. We love you!

House projects- update

Powder room: I accidentally left a huge bleach stain on the counter of our current vanity (I HATED it anyway) so we have ordered a new one. We're also replacing the chandelier in there with a more normal bathroom light. The last owners really loved chandeliers...I don't. We already replaced the toilet with my Christmas thrones. :)
COMPLETE

Laundry room: A fresh coat of paint and a granite piece to finish off my folding table. COMPLETE

Office: A fresh coat of paint. We also got my graduate diploma framed finally--it only took just under two years. ;)
COMPLETE

Foyer: Touch up painting
COMPLETE

Dining room: NOTHING! Music to Jackson's ears :)
COMPLETE, DUH!

Kitchen: granite counters- finally! I cannot wait to get those puppies installed
COMPLETE (just look at our checking account for proof. Ouch!)

Living room: touch up painting
COMPLETE

Master: REPAINTING the whole she-bang. Woot toot. No more blue!
I don't think this will be complete :( (See note next to kitchen-ha!)

Master bath: new granite counters, new square sinks, new oil-rubbed bronze faucet fixtures
COMPLETE
replace the current tile surround with subway tiles and expand the shower walls with new glass doors. New paint, too. :)
I don't think this will be complete :( (See note next to kitchen-ha!)

Upstairs bath: We hung new mirrors and replaced the faucets. It is also getting a new tile floor
COMPLETE (minus the new floor. I've finally worn myself out on DIY home improvement projects for now.)

Outside: Jackson is getting his fire pit- finally might he add and we'll be planting flowers like it is going out of style
IN PROGRESS

People ask me why I haven't been blogging. Please see the above list and then remember it is also tax season. :)

Dog vs. Cat

I saw this other day and found it hilarious. I'm pretty sure, though, that playing ball is ALWAYS MacKenzie's favorite thing. Or maybe bananas are her favorite? Ok, this is spot on. :)
Happy Wednesday! :)

Bounce House

Sunday we drove down to Evansville to celebrate Alex's 2nd birthday! I'm not sure who had more fun at the party- Alex or Jackson!? :) (Note: Yes, my laugh does sound like that. No, I'm not sure how I still have friends. I'm sorry.)

Reminder about donating

Alex's reaction to being told people are not donating to his March for Babies team (not really, but it was a classic photo so I put it to good use). Today is his 2nd birthday- time flies and we're so happy that he is a healthy little boy!

You can support our team financially here:

Thank you for supporting the birthday boy's team! :)
