Mommy and Makenna time

Spent about an hour before bed tonight talking with Makenna.  We do this a lot.  She is such a ham.  She asks alot of questions, and we talk about many things.  I love this time with her. Tonight she was cracking me up, every time she talks about people she thinks are in love or dating, she starts batting her eyes and talking in a funny voice.  She is a very silly girl.  She told me when she grows up she wants to marry a man who is nice, very funny, in fact he needs to be born in the year of the monkey, because that means he is funny, and be handsome.  I thought that was a pretty good start. She also wants to be a jockey or someone in the olympics when she grows up.  The one thing I hope she always remembers me telling her, is to do what she loves.  What ever she is passionate about, that is what she needs to do, regardless of pay, etc.  Provided she can eat and have a roof over her head etc.  I pray she always follows her dreams!! She also asked why boys can show their boobies and girls can't!  That girl!  Sadly, I had no idea how to answer that one!

Aubrey's 5!

Today is Aubrey's 5th birthday.  She had a great day!  We went to the little waterpark called The Bay, and swam for four hours.  We had McDonalds for dinner, and then she got to pick out a movie to watch.  She chose Bambi, even though Makenna objected, the shooting scares her.  I think she picked it mostly because Mak objected.  Sisterly love!  They both got a bit sunburned today, which makes me feel really bad.  I am apparently not good at re-applying suncreen, need to work on that.  It was a very bittersweet day for me.  I did shed some tears at the pool, when the girls weren't nearby.  It is sad not having a four year old anymore.  5 seems so big.  I'm always sad when they get older, I just want to keep them little forever.  I love them so much, can't even imagine them in High school and college.  All and all it was a great day, and she was a very happy little 5 year old! Sunday we will have family over for a little party, with snacks and cake. I love you Aubrey!
