Spring!

We have been very busy these past couple weekends. Two weekends ago we decided that we should go to the zoo in Columbia. We had a good time and really enjoyed the zoo. Mackenzie was pretty fussy but she is teething and then we found out the next day that she was constipated so that didn't help either. Hailey had a lot of fun seeing all the animals and her favorite part was riding the carousel.

Haiely's friend Tyler turned 4 last weekend and we went to his birthday party. It was a super hero theme and everyone got to dress up as their favorite super hero. Hailey (who was the only girl) wanted to dress up as a super princess and looked adorable. She had a great time at the party and even went though the obstacle course where she had to leap over huge building and crawl though fire. Captain America even made an appearance to talk to all the kids, it was a great party.

This past weekend we spent working outside in the beautiful weather. We planted an azalea bush in the front of the house to replace the one that died last year. Brian built a raised garden bed in the back yard. He has wanted to try planting vegetables for over a year so we have finally decided to try it and see what happens. We planted some okra, green beans, squash, zucchini, tomatoes, banana pepper, watermelon (this was a Hailey request). We also planted some basil, mint and cilantro as well. Hailey had a lot of fun helping plant the seeds and playing in the soil. She also planted some flower seeds in our flower bed and had a little to much fun watering them with her own watering can so it will be amazing if the flowers actually grow after she probably drowned the seeds. It was so cute to watch because she would pound the watering can into the soil and make mud witch she thought was great.

Mackenzie had her 15 month check up yesterday and not much has changed, she is still a little peanut. She weighs a whopping 18 pounds and 1 ounce, she is in the 10% for height, 5% for weight and the 25% for her head. She is a very picky eater and she refuses to try new things so trying to fatten her up by eating regular food is not that easy.
