Happy Birthday Mackenzie!!!

2008-04-09T13:06:00.005-06:00

Mackenzie is now 4 years old! I can't believe my baby is 4! I'm not sure where the time went. Before I know it she will be driving and going off to college. I wish I could stop this process and keep her this age forever! Keep her my little girl! I guess no matter how old he is she will always be my little girl! I love you Mackenzie, Happy 4th Birthday princess.

Oh Brady you are so pretty!

2008-04-09T12:57:00.004-06:00

Erica came to my house last week with the day care kids for a play date. All the kids decided to play dress up....Even Brady.....He came out from Mackenzie's room wearing this gown and high heels. You're so pretty Brady! Your in trouble Brian!!!Just kidding!

POOR DAVE......WHAT A GOOD SPORT!!!

2007-11-06T18:46:00.001-06:00

So Mackenzie decided to play dress up with Dave! I'm not quite sure what he has on but I couldn't stop laughing! She just kept putting more stuff like my bandana and her head band and a necklace and on his head is the top of a pot from her kitchen. what was she thinking? I think I'm still laughing, I may have wet myself a little....just a little.....Anyway thanks to Dave mackenzie may be a world famous designer....Hahaha!!!!!

HAPPY HALLOWEEN!!!!!!

2007-11-06T18:36:00.001-06:00

So I don't think it's a big suprise Mackenzie was a princess for Halloween!!! She had so much fun trick or treating!!!! She did awesome! I didn't realize how independent she was getting until we went up to houses and she didn't want anyones help, she wanted to do everything herself! I am so sad my baby is no longer a baby, but I am so proud of the little girl she ahs become. Quite a liitle lady!!!

DANCING!!DANCING!!!!!!

2007-10-10T06:21:00.001-06:00

So Mackenzie started dance class 4 weeks ago and it''s been so fun watching her that I wanted to share it with you. She dances at Karla Patavina's and loves her teacher Miss Katie!!We have been able to watch her through the glass window but now they are pulling the shade so we can't see what they are preparing for us for a little show they are putting on for Halloween! She is so excited!!! I'll take pictures of the show !!!!!

My New Nephew!!!!!

2007-09-27T05:39:00.001-06:00

Well he's finally here!!!! Cameron James Stack! It was amazing the first time with Brady to see a beautiful baby brought into this world, and this time was just amazing. Maybe even more because Erica only pushed 3 times and he was here!!!!! I couldn't be happier for them! you guys did a good job. He is beautiful!

Mackenzie thinks he's her brother but I keep telling her he's her cousin just like Brady! I guess it doesn't matter cause they are going to act like brother and sister!!! Another play mate for Brady and Kenzie!!!!!!

COOKING WITH DAD!

2007-09-20T12:45:00.001-06:00

Daddy decided he wanted to make zuccini bread because Auntie Kelly gave us a 7 1/2lb zuccini. Yes I said...71/2lbs

We had so much fun...I did a great job! It was so good. The best was spending time with daddy!

CANOBIE THROUGH A 3 YEAR OLDS EYES

2007-06-27T05:53:00.000-06:00

haven't been to Canobie Lake park in about 7 years so I was so excited when we got free tickets to go!! I was so much fun to watch Mackenzie. She was very aprehensive about going on any rides. I wasn't until later in the day that she decided that she did enough watching and wanted to go on some rides. It was so much fun to be a kid again and go on some rides myself. I think I did almost every ride in the park at least once. Even the roller coaster!!!

This is Kenzie riding on the boats!!! I don't know how the attendant does it with all the bells dinging!!! I was getting a headache just standing there while Mackenzie was on the ride!!!

BLACKMAIL!!!!

2007-06-15T10:51:00.000-06:00

If ever I needed something to hang over Dave's head this would be it!!! Here is my wonderful husband playing tea party with Mackenzie and YES That is mickey mouse ears on his head!!! I bet the guys at work would love to get a hold of this picture!!! What other father would be man enough to wear mickey ears and play tea party? I couldn't have asked for a better man!!! Dave is definitely Father of the year in my book!!! Happy Father's Day Baby!! I love you more than my shoes!!!!

MY AVON WALK 2007

2007-05-24T07:28:00.001-06:00

I wanted to thank eveyone that donated to me for my Avon Walk!! I finished 16 miles the first day and had hoped to finish 13 on Sunday but I was severly dehydrated and got sick and was sent home at 2am Sunday morning! It was all worth it! Boston raised 6.7 million dollars for breast cancer research. The woman I got to speak with were amazing and the opening ceremony was so enspiring I just cried to think how proud I am to be a survivor and proud of the 2800 other people walking for the cause. Next year Dave and Kelly said they would walk with me and I'm going to start my own team so any one up for the challenge let me know!!!! We will not stay in tents next year we will be renting a room at a hotel. RUFFING IT FOR ME IS NO ROOM SERVICE!!!!!! Thanks again for all the donations and support! I love you all!!!!

Mackenzie's 3rd Birthday Party

2007-04-29T19:24:00.000-06:00

I'm not quite sure what we were drinking at Kenzie's Party but these pictures look like we had way to much to drink even though we were drinking coffee and soda...We had so much fun! Everyone was so generous,Mackenzie has a new wadrobe for spring and summer. I can't beleive she is 3. The time flies when your having fun..And we have a lot of that as you can see. Life is to damn short to not enjoy everything you do. Live, Laugh, and have lots of Birthday's!The guys decided to participate in the princess party. Fernando put the crown on first and frick and frack decided to join him...These pictues can be used as blackmail one of these days. I don't think Dave wants the guys at work to get a hold of these!!!!

MACKENZIE TURNS 3

2007-04-11T05:54:00.000-06:00

I can't believe my baby is 3! Where does the time go? It feels like yesterday I was talking to her in my belly, I still have the stretch marks to prove it!!! Friday was her birthday so Dave and I had a small cake for her and we decorated Easter Eggs! It was so much fun watching her be creative. I couldn't help just watching her and being a proud mama of the little girl Dave and I created. She is becoming such a little lady. She has so much energy and spunk!! Sometimes I wish she would slow down for just one minute but she is so curious and just wants to know everything that is going on around her. She doesn't miss a thing...she hears everything and takes it all in...Even when you don't think she's listening ...she is! HAPPY BIRTHDAY PRINCESS!!! MAMA LOVES YOU!

Well what a crazy weekend!!!!Dave's dad had a stroke so we spent our weekend at the hospital. Thank god he will be ok. He a complete blockage on his left side artery,but thank god the other side is making up for it. He only has some speech that is missing and his right eye is blured so he will be unable to drive. He is safely at home now and recovering. But if you could say a prayer for him I would appreciate it. I couldn't have asked for a better father-in-law. So I would like for him to be around for a while longer. GET WELL GHISLAIN!!!!!

Fun at breakfast

2006-11-12T08:41:00.000-06:00

So Dave and I decided to take mackenzie out to breakfast at Casey's diner. It was so good! I haven't been there sense it was memory lane when I worked there. (I'm definetly dating myself) Anyway... We were having a great breakfast almost done when this old woman with her son came in and started making a huge rukus. She was really old and in a wheel chair and apparently didn't want to be there because she kept yelling at her son ....GET ME OUTTA HERE!!! The poor guy was trying to calm her down when she started yelling at the waitress to get her some coffee....just when we thought the yelling had stopped the waitress brought her coffee....The son told her to be careful because it was hot...apparently she didn't care because she took a huge sip and burned her tongue. Which set off the yelling again!!!!!!!!"IT'S TOO HOT!!!!"she said to her son. So the son said I "warned you" as he turned back to reading the menu she said in a very loud voice,"DUMMY!!!!!" At this piont Mackenzie is ready to leave so as we're leaving mackenzie say's"Mommy she was too loud!!!!!!! Dave and I laughed all the way home talking about our very interesting breakfast but everytime we brought up the old lady she said "SHE WAS LOUD!!!!!!!!! I think from now on we will be going to Casey's for the entertainment factor!!!!!!

My First Blog

2006-11-10T18:28:00.000-06:00

Hey guys! This is my first blog and I wanted to share a picture of my daughter Mackenzie. She is 2 1/2 and a bundle of energy. This was her this summer at Weires Beach. I can't believe how time flyes by. Christmas is already right around the corner. She actually knows who santa is. I feel so blessed to be here to share everyday with her. Those of you who know me know I have battled breast cancer this year and I have finally finished my second and hopefully final round of chemo. This next pictue is a picture of Mackenzie and me and my bald head. At first I didn't want to take a picture but my sister Erica told me I should save the image so Mackenzie knows what I went through to be here for her .
