Kenzie has a secret admirer

Kenzie came home today with a rose. It was delivered to her at school. The card read:

To My Valentine

McKenzie Buck

There was no signature and she is going absolutely crazy trying to figure out who it is from. I must confess I am very curious. Since I know I did not send it nor did Lee or anyone else in my family. Believe me I drilled everyone!

Princess Addy

Addasyn had her Valentines Tea Party at school today. As I was doing her hair she said "Mom, since I am a Princess, can I dress like one for school today?" "Absolutely." I said.

This is what she came upstair in.

Oh my gosh, she is so dang cute.

She decided that maybe it would be kind of hard to wear all this at recess so she left the hat and boa behind. But she did still ask if everyone would know she was a Princess.

With a smile like that how could anyone think otherwise!

It...It 'twas...Soap Poisoning!

It's just been one of those weeks. I don't know what it is with the words "butt" and "idiot". But let me tell you I got a little bit sick of hearing them last night. And a little bit sick of telling the girls to watch their mouths.

One minute my angels are playing so nice and then I hear "Well, your a unicorn butt, ugh uh, your a cat butt. Whatever idiot, no your an idiot, am not you are....."

After this little tasty treat I did not hear those words again. Thank you very much!

Happy 14th!

It was Kenzies 14th birthday February 8th and in true Kenzie fashion she had a weekend of celebrations. On Friday she had 12 friends over for her "friend" party. They went on a scavenger hunt at the mall. We split the girls into 3 group of four. Each group had a digital camera and I gave them a list of things they had to find. The whole group had to be in each picture and every time they passed the birthday girl they had to sing "Happy Birthday" as loud as they could. They had TONS of fun trying on all kinds of crazy things, like five inch high heel shoes, the ugliest prom dress they could find, a bra over their shirts. And they got bonus points for doing cartwheels down the middle of the mall, holding a boys hand and helping someone carry their bags. They were great sports and let me tell you some of those girls are NOT shy!

After the scavenger hunt we came back to our house for dinner, more games, cake and ice cream and of coarse presents. Kenzie was thrilled to rake in about $145 in gift cards to American Eagle and Aeropostale. Can we say SPOILED.

And what girly girl party would be complete without a little bit of toilet papering!

For successful toilet-papering one must apply black under the eyes and wear a hoodie. Um....it really doesn't work. The first house they went to they got BUSTED!

The boys were good sports though, they gathered up all of the toilet paper and returned the favor! Being the dead of winter and the fact that we don't have any mature trees they toilet papered our deck! Good thinking!

I was supposed to have the girls home by 11 but they were having so much fun, they just lost track of time. I finally called Kenzie on her cell phone and told her she had to come home, the police were here and wanted to talk to them. (HeHeHe, I'm so mean). She didn't act 14 then!

I didn't have the heart to keep up the charade so I fessed up and told her it was time to

wrap it up.

They all had a blast!

She has some great friends, they are cute girls!

Saturday she hung out with friends all day and then went to the Aggie basketball game.

And Sunday we went to church, I made her favorite meal, chicken pillows, mashed potatoes (no gravy) and corn. We had her "family" party and then she went to a fireside.

All in all a fun weekend and she is worth every bit of it.

I can't believe she is 14 years old.

We love you Kenzie and are so proud of you! We are so blessed to have you in our family.

You truly are the most amazing daughter and big sissy ever!

And just cause I can I had to post a picture of little Kenzie on her 1st Birthday!

In HER words.

Miss Gracie definitely has her own language. Most of the time I can figure out what she is talking about...Like the graham crappers, or her little friend Blake who is Blank to her, or Gisselle who is Bisselle, Kenzie who is Henzie, Ashton who is Baston. But some have confused me. Like the time she asked me if she could have some sugar. After much arguing, she stomped over to the refrigerator and grabbed some yogurt. "This is what I want Moooooom." Or when she asked if we were going to take the treadmill camping. Silly me, the treadmill is the trailer. And the camel that she could hear her voice in was the tunnel at first dam.

Her most recent induction was the other day when I took her and Addasyn to the dentist. Both girls had to have cavities filled, thus they received shots to numb their mouths. When we were leaving Gracie told Addasyn she got yum, Addasyn was instantly bugged, "I didn't get any yum.....what is yum? I didn't get any!!" Oh but you did, you both got NUMB.

These are the Little Things I will look back on, always with a smile on my face.
