Enjoying the sun!

Where's Caitlyn?
We officially sent Caitlyn away! Well, at least for the month of June. She is spending time with Grandma, soaking up the rays at the pool and feeding the deer if I know her like I think I do. There will probably also be Hide and Seek with Gramps and Tea Parties with Granny. What else could a 7 year old ask for?
While she is gone we get to watch the dog wander around the house and sit at the door looking pathetic because her playmate is gone. MacKenzie doesn't seem to notice yet, typical sibling behavior. We are also realizing how quiet it is without her around and how much we miss her already! It's hard to believe she will be in 2nd grade next year. Whoever allowed her to grow up to fast should be shot. This year the 4th of July will definitely be my favorite holiday as we will be picking her up, closing on the house and hopefully, finding out what kind of baby we're having, all within a week. Exciting times I tell ya!

Mack's first trip to the Zoo!
We took the kids to the Zoo yesterday, along with Jeff, Becky, Sophie, Ian and Ace. I think everyone had a great time. MacKenzie loved all the animals! She spent time trying to get the otters to come to her by calling them like she does Abby. Kissy noises and patting her leg. I however missed this cuteness as I was trying to dodge bird poop and get Caitlyn out of the Budgies cage. She would not leave until one of them ate seeds off of her stick. Apparently those are some well fed birds because it took a good 20 minutes to find one that was hungry! Well worth the wait to see how excited she was when we did finally get one to eat.
I don't think we made it through even a quarter of the zoo. It's only been a couple years since we were there, but I'm always amazed at all the new stuff. The kids really liked the Madagascar exhibit with all the monkees.. oh excuse me, Lemurs.
We also had to stop and take the girls on the carousel.. i don't think i spelled that right but i'm too lazy to look it up. It was Mack's first time so she just sat on the bench with daddy and chilled. Caitlyn rode the zebra I think, and Sophie picked the dragon. Don't think i've ever seen a dragon at a zoo before, but we'll go with it.
According to Bill, MacKenzie's favorite part was the Aquarium. She wanted to look at everything and then suckered him into buying her a stuffed pengiun. How could he refuse that face? I of course missed this as well because Caitlyn insisted on going on the SkyFari ride. A note to those who do not enjoy heights, do NOT ride this with a 12 yr old and 7 yr old. They will lean forward and rock the cage. They will laugh at the death grip you have on the bar, and they will ask to ride it again!

Well hello!
This blog is going to be my pathetic attempt at keeping in touch with friends and family while we prepare to welcome baby number 3, settle in to our new jobs, keep Caitlyn and MacKenzie from hurting themselves or each other, and purchase our new home in Omaha. All while keeping our cheerful dispositions, and Bill's hair, intact!
I refuse to make any promises as to the amount or quality of content you will actually find here, but I will try my best! There will be days that it will contain amusing things the kids have done to make us laugh, but there will probably be days where I'm just ranting about the latest idiot that cut me off or hoop we're having to jump through at the bank. I do promise to post the occasional picture of what I believe are two of the most adorable children ever created, and maybe some of Mack and Caitlyn too! ha ha :)
With that said... Welcome to the Crazy Train!
