My BEAUTIFUL McKinley!!!!

I cannot believe that my little McKinley will be turning 6 years old on May 7! We are getting things ready for her birthday party and since both my girls have decided that they LOVE making their invitations online so we can put their pictures on them we went out on a "photo shoot". McKinley had a lot of fun playing around and being the center of attention, and I had fun taking her picture and watching her do her many poses and faces! It was ABSOLUTELY beautiful weather the other day so I got her all dolled up and we went out in search of some fun locations to take pictures. Here are just a few of the MANY pictures I took, enjoy!

Easter

We had a wonderful Easter! The girls had fun discovering what they got for Easter, which included CANDY (obviously), new shirts, jelly bean pooping bunnies, kites, sidewalk chalk, bubbles, etc...... After enjoying ourselves at home we got ready to go to a BBQ at my mom and dad's house in Santaquin. We had a great time and it was actually warm enough for the kids to play without jackets! The kids had an Easter egg hunt and loved every minute of it.

Even Princess, our dog, got in on the action, she stole an Easter egg during the hunt and ate the gum out of it!

Fun in the sun!

So yesterday was absolutely BEAUTIFUL outside and since it has been so stinking cold lately I decided to take full advantage of the warm weather. I did a little exercising outside in the morning and after McKinley was home from school and fed we walked to the park and played for around an hour and then walked back home. It was great! After Shaylie got home from school the girls rode their bikes outside until it was time to go to Shaylie's MMA class. All in all it was a GREAT morning and afternoon! I did however overlook one tiny little detail...........................when you are as albino as I am you have to wear sunscreen or risk looking like a lobster within a very short amount of time. As you can tell I overlooked the sunscreen and managed to get a lovely sunburn!
The picture doesn't really do justice to how dark red the burn actually is..........it almost looks purple in spots. Oh well, live and learn right.

Here are some pictures of summers past of the girls enjoying the warm weather and outdoor fun!

Here's hoping the weather stays warm and that I remember to wear sunscreen!
