Mother's Day 2010

We had fun in the park flying kites!

We did the bluebonnet thing for the first time this year...as you can see, we were not the only people interested in this particular site for pictures. You will however note the sign next to Fuego which clearly states that we are not supposed to be there. Also note the barbed wire fence. Yes we did have to crawl through a widened space, stretched by the flower seekers that have gone before us.
I work with someone from Washington and she laughed out loud at my pictures because the thinks it is so funny the things we do to take pictures with "those blue flowers".

Okay sorry about that folks! I know better than to try to type when Bella is wanting attention. Where were we? So McKenzie cracked me up at the dentist. I laughed out loud at this. Her extractions were being done by Dr. Siegle, who is not her regular dentist, and we were having to discuss this at great length. They call us back and we are walking down the hall and she says, under her breath, "He better not look like a Siegle". And I said, "What's a Siegle?" And she says, "duh Mom...the bird?"

Lily also cracked up us at dinner the other night (you know it's good if it stands out for more than a day in this family)! So Lily is very carefully transferring rice into a corn tortilla with her spoon and she is really concentrating hard. McKenzie asks her, "Are you making a taco?" to which Lily replies, with an attitude, "I'm not making a taco...I'm Lily Grace Ramirez!"

We returned to church today and it felt so good! New pictures coming this week!

We're baaaaaack!!

I don't even know where to start it's been so long!! No sense in backtracking...it's late and I'm tired but you have to start somewhere, right? Bella will wear shoes now *insert singing hallelujah* and she is becoming a chunky monkey! When the Dr. said she was still in the 25th percentile, I laughed out loud! Her two front teeth are coming in so that's always a fun time.

McKenzie had her last two baby teeth pulled this week. Next week she goes for an ortho consultation so we can get braces put on *insert more singing* so that we can actually get a real smile out of her when there's a camera in the room. Her allergies are finally under control, although we will be dairy free indefinitely.

More tomorrow. Sorry.
