4th of July Weekend

We had an awesome 4th of July weekend!! On Thursday, both Scott and I took the day off so we were able to spend the day together as a family. We were going to take the kids to Wild Water West in Sioux Falls, but the weather was just a little too cold. So instead, we went to the World of Outlaw race in Brandon, SD. On Friday, we took the kids to Catfish Bay to see the ski show. They thought the skiing was absolutely awesome!! After the show was done, we went to Scott's dad's house to see some family members. We were only able to stay for a few short hours becuase he had to get to the races in Hartford, SD to watch Scott's friend Cory race. So the kids got their fill in on races this weekend. But they had a blast at both races!! On Saturday we had the 25th anniversary party for Tim and Cathy (Scott's dad and step-mom). We spent the whole day with the Garry family and had a lot of fun!! On Sunday we headed home to get some much needed R&R!! Now we just need to find another free weekend so we can use our Wild Water West tickets!!! We hope everybody had a fun and enjoyable 4th of July!!!

Mackenzie is 5!!!!

My baby girl turned 5 on June 30th!! On June 27th we hade her friend party. She had 3 friends come over and celebrate with her. We ordered pizza and had a big chocolate chip cookie for dessert. On Saturday, June 28th was the family birthday. That was another enjoyable day!! We had hot dogs, hamburgers, baked beans, potato salad, fruit salad and many other options. Of course, the theme for both parties was Hannah Montana!!! It is hard for me to believe that Mackenzie is already 5 years old!! Time goes by so fast!!
