Brown Sugar

Yesterday, I was making some cookies. McKenzie loves to help me bake. I love that she loves to be in the kitchen just as much as I do. She always wants to help with everything I make. It is so much fun! Anyways, yesterday I turned my back just a few seconds while I put some cookie dough on a cookie sheet and when I turned back around...here she was...in the brown sugar container! She must have eaten 1/4 of a cup. She was so wild last night after that.

Caught red handed!

Yummy stuff!

After running around the house for about 30 minutes and after dinner, her sugar high was over...and here is where we found her...under the table with all the chairs pushed in!

Got it Fixed

I am so happy and proud of myself! I have figured out how to fix my blog and make it normal again! Apparently, after several hours of searching for help on different website I realized that I was not alone in this problem. LOTS of people were just as frustrated as I was. Thanks to some really computer savvy folks, I was able to follow picture directions and get my blog back in line! Thanks to you who ever you are that knows not only how to fix your own blog but how to post pictures of exactly what my screen needs to look like every step of the way!

Template OFF

Okay...so I have figured out some of it...however, I think that the problem is I have a template over my blog page and I can't figure out how to get it off. If you scroll down a little bit you can see where my background that I picked shows up. But, there is still an entire white page over it in the center. Still really FRUSTRATED! Any suggestions?

Who Can Help Me?

I am so frustrated with this blog thing. I just tried to change my background because the one I was using is no longer available. I found the perfect new background and changed it successfully. I then tried to find the place to change my font colors and now my entire blog is lime green....NOT the new background that I picked. The layout is totally different and my list of friends and MG's ticker are gone. I am so FRUSTRATED! Please some one help me!

Blackberries

In the green space of our neighborhood there are lots of blackberries bushes. When we walk at night McKenzie always likes to stop and pick some to eat for the rest of the walk. Tonight, we walked and on the way back we stopped and pick what few blackberries are left, due to no rain and here was her face by the time we got home!

Yes, her shirt says- My Grandpa Drives a Big Ole 18 Wheeler! Tate has one too!

Happy 4th of July

For the 4th of July we followed tradition this year and went to Young Harris to be with Jason's family. It would not be a holiday if we were not at the Urgent Care. Yes, on the drive up, McKenzie was just not being herself. She felt very warm, so I took her temperature it was 103.3. We went to the Urgent Care as soon as we arrived. It turns out it was just a virus, and it only lasted 24 hours and then it was gone. However, poor MG was wiped out. We were able to take a boat out on the lake though. McKenzie loved it when the boat was moving and hated it when we stopped to swim. I guess she thought we were going to get hurt or something and just freaked out. We got have a special meatball lunch at Jason's Grandma's house. It is always fun to see them! We saw fireworks and MG LOVED them! When they were over, she wanted to see more! Happy 4th of July to everyone and thank you soldiers for fighting so hard for our freedom!

Chicago

Last week Jason and I spent four days in Chicago for Circle, an annual trip for his company. It was a great trip. Chicago is such a nice city and so very clean! There is so much to do there. We got to go to a Cubs game and sit on a rooftop to watch it. So, we were not in Wrigley Field but we were on a rooftop across the street! It was a very cool experience. We also visited Navy Pier and took a Gangster Tour. The tour was about all the "old" (meaning in the 1920's and 30's) gangs of Chicago. It was really interesting and very fun until our charter bus got in an accident. That brought our tour to a halt and as we waited for another bus to come and get us, we missed the last 1.5 hours of the tour. Oh well, everyone was okay! We got to eat wonderful, famous popcorn! Oh it was so good! It was a really fun time!

McKenzie stayed at Nana's house this trip. Tate was also there! Brian and Amber were at the beach with their Youth. So, I am not sure who had more fun, the kids or Nana! McKenzie has asked for Tate everyday since she left him. It is really sweet! They are so cute together and really do love each other so much. It is so fun to have these sweet little ones so close in age!
