Another Makenzie Day

A little girl getting her nails done, is a special day in their eyes

Today Makenzie, Bella, Nina and I went to Sushi, had ice cream, went for Pedicures and Manicures (and a fill) and had a nice girl day out! The girls are too cute together and all the ladies in the shop thought they were too special!

Morning dress up to go shopping to pick out birthday presents

This weekend turned out to be Makenzie's on going birthday. Which was fun and she of course soaked it up. First we started the morning with her being able to pick what she wanted to wear head to target and she got to load the cart with what she wanted for her birthday,she knew what she wanted from a easy bake oven to puzzles, to water toys, clothes, you name it. Logan of course got a skate board so he felt included and I have to post the pics with a little smiley face over the peter because he has been skating naked but with knee arm and head gear and its too cute. Its like something out of a movie.

Then after we shopped, she changed into one of her new outfits, and we went goofy golfing. We thought if we headed there early we would not get the ganster crowded, well we got a little taste of it, but the kids had fun, Logan and some of the other kids were to short for the water rides and car stuff, so we ate inside. What mattered is Kenzies had fun. I loved to hit the ball everywhere and the wind made the weather nice.I was of course being goof ball so I was hyper, but hey got to have fun.

Hard to imagine that 6 yrs ago I was in a Italian hospital not knowing what they were saying 36 hrs of labor, then a C section, 2 days later Jon left for war in Iraq for a year and Makenzie and I were in Italy toughing it out. We have a bond like no other.

Your Life Begins When You Turn 40

you know my addiction to jean

I decided to surprise Jon for his 40th birthday. I went down to his work and hide on the side of the car, when he got off and walked to the car there I was sitting on my Louis Vuitton Luggage, with my Louis purse, Prada shoes, Dolce Gabbana glasses, and my feet kicked up. Jon thought something was wrong with the kids or we were skipping town.

I told him, jump in lets go, its your 40th birthday and I am taking you somewhere, airport.

He decided he did not want to know where we were going, so we got all the way to the gate without him knowing we were going to vegas baby. It was so much fun and I love the beatles so had to see the show again. When we got home the kids had made a cake with the sitter, and when we pulled up we had writing all over the driveway in chalk, it was adorable, but I still think they had a good vacation from us too.We thought it was so sweet, but again, we still miss vegas :) I think this has to be a monthly thing... it was just so nice and different to just be the 2 of us, its been a long time. I told him we need to find a nanny we can trust and the kids can bond with so we dont feel guilty....hee hee haa haa

We had a suite at the Palazzo, room service because we love to snug and enjoy the mornings together plus middle of the night cravings for gourmet food, of course krispy creams (yes for all you that dont think I eat, I had 3, happy?)

Happy Birthday my sweet Jon, I love you more than anything, anybody, and my world is all about you. 11 years together and I hope 111 more to go! Without you I would be lost, you are my compass and you keep my grounded when I am afloat. xoxox
