Girl's Trip

This past weekend Jac and I took the girls to the beach. We had a great time and Mary Michael was absolutely precious! Seriously. She's like the best baby ever born!

We ate and hung out. It wasn't quite warm enough for the beach everyday so we spent alot of time at the pool, but we did make it to the beach one day.

Anyway, here are a few of my favorite pics. In the first one, they are at the "Biggest Pumpkin in the World" It's in Florida and we passed it going to and from the beach. I'm sure you all saw it on the Today show. We did; and thus, the girls had to have their pics there.

Poor Utah

I've been looking back at pictures through the last few years, and realized one very sad thing. Utah hates Halloween. Poor Dog. Every year I buy her a Halloween costume... I dress her up and take her picture. Every year, she looks at me like she hates me.

The first two years, she was a queen, which I can't find a picture of, but it always made me laugh til I cried. It had fake arms and feet and everything. The last three years she been... well, you'll see. Just look at this face. Have you ever seen a dog look so mad in your whole life (also, note I'm getting the same look in every pic)?!??!?

Ava's Birthday Party

Saturday night we headed over to Ava's Birthday Party! It was fun and the kids all wore their costumes, so they looked super cute. As you can see, the birthday girl was a cheerleader, and Mc was not the only bumble bee in the room!

Little Scotty

Last year my parents spent about 2 weeks in Europe. They spent several days in Scotland touring, shopping, and sightseeing. In one of their outings, they ran upon this little kilt, bag, and hat. It is the "McHaney" family plaid. Of course, they had to have it!

It was too big for her until now, but I had to post some pics for everyone to see. It is too cute!

Playing in the Fountain

Down in Seacrest they have a great fountain for kids to play in. We took Mc for the first time this year and she loved it. The only way we could tear her away was by promising treats from the Sugar Shack!

A Week at the Beach

We just returned from our yearly trip with my family to the beach. It was great! Very relaxing, beautiful weather everyday, awesome seafood... you get the picture! It was also so great to have a weeks together without other distractions.

Daren didn't want to go back to work this morning and we didn't want him to go. Mc woke up calling for him this morning!

Anyway, here are a few pics from the week (somehow I didn't end up with many of my parents, but thanks to them for the trip!):

Mc with her Aunt Lala

Haulin' Water... her favorite past time

With Deda in the ocean

With Mama building sandcastles

So excited!

I had to add this one because of Andrew's face.

Look at that face. A strong Pina Colada on the beach will do it for you!

What a Difference a Year Makes!

Here are two pics of Mc. One is just last October at the beach... the other is this week! Can you believe how much she's changed in just one year!??!?

Had to Post

I don't really have anything to say about these pictures, they kind of speak for themselves, but I had to post them. Hilarious!!!!!

Veggietales Live

Last night Barbara and I took Mc to see God Made You Special at one of the local churches. Mc loved it , of course! She danced and clapped and worried about Bob (he disappears during the show) with all the other kids.

It was fun to see her have such a good time!!! Afterwards we grabbed a late dinner at Chili's and headed home. It was a late night for her and I'm paying for it today... she's VERY grouchy. But is was worth it; Here are a few pics:

School Pictures

Mc is having her school pictures made today. We got her all dressed up and I could tell she felt special. It warms my heart when I see her feel good about herself. (Okay, I know what you are all thinking right now...I'm not saying that outside beauty is the only time she feels good about herself. I also see her feel good about herself when she identifies all her ABC's, or feeds Utah, etc etc.)

This is just one I could capture on camera! How freakin' precious does she look!??!!? I can't wait to see the pics from school!

A Day at the Park

Today was just gorgeous and we had to get out in it! So we decided to head to the park and have a picnic with the Nichols. We had a blast at the park, and here are several of our pics!

Cupcakes... Again!

Last night we had cupcakes, from our little place downtown, for Jac's birthday.

We had leftovers, so the Nichols came over to help us finish them off! Here are a few cute pics... how freakin' precious are they!??!?
