Funny Girl McKensie

McKensie just cracks me up!


to the girls....

"Stop laughing, be quiet or I'll beat you with a muscle."

to my sister.....

"Don't put your feet on my mom's bed because my feet are dirty."

to me....

"Don't you love you snuggle bug." (while her hand on my face) "Whose a cute mommy, whose a cute mommy?"


One day she was driving me crazy bouncing up and down on my bed. (this was after I had worked the night before, so I was cranky anyways) Loudly I said,"MCKENSIE KARLA" she stopped and looked at me with her beautiful brown eyes. I didn't have the heart to get after her so I asked her, "where did you get your beautiful brown eyes from?" (she is the only girl in my house with them) She thinks for a moment with her index finger beside her mouth, raising her finger she replies, "the Internet?" Crack me up!!!

Favorite McKensie story

Kensie was about 2-3 yrs of age at the time. Craig takes her often to get slushies from the gas station, she loves them.

We had put the girls to bed. I was finishing up dishes, Craig was watching TV, I know typical night mom's doing all the work, just kidding.

McKensie, comes back down the stairs, walks over to me.
"Mama, can you go get me a slushy?"
I said, "No, its time for bed sweetheart."
She then goes over to Craig.
"Daddy, can you go get me a slushy?"
Craig, says "No, McKensie it is to late its time for bed."

Then with questioning hands in the air she said, "Well somebody gotta because, I CAN'T DRIVE!!!"

Basket Ball Season

This is in her gym at school. We enrolled our girls in school after homeschooling for 7 years. What a change! Alex was not excited until she found out that she could try out for Basketball :) Coach Clark was excited to have her on the team, she is the captain. Alex has a jersey on the wall Keener #13.
First home game, the girls are undefeated. They play two games each time, with a "A" team and a "B" team. Alex is the starter for the "B" team which is the six graders the "A" team is mostly fith graders. Alex plays on the "a" team as well, she subs.
The best play they have #51, it works every time! Go Arabians

It's good, two points!!!

McKensie's First Haircut :(

It has been a long time coming. I was not ready to cut my little bit's hair. I loved her long curly hair but, daddy did not. He was tired of listening to her scream (I do mean scream, like we were torturing her). I finally gave in and said yes to cutting her hair. It was too hard for McKensie to turn away from watching Dora.
Long enough to sit on :)


THE CUT!!! (CRY)


Almost done....


"Look at all my hair mom!" The letters behind her spell out KEENER'S (just in case you are wondering). All said and done we cut about 10-11 inches off her hair.

Word search McKensie style

Notice how hard she is working to find the letters in the word search. She was doing a great job trying to find her word. It took us a while to figure out what she was doing. Little did I know the word she was searching for was "M-c-K-e-n-s-i-e" :0

If you look closely you can see she just circled the letters in her name. How funny is she! She just brings a joy to my heart!



McKensie with a pickle, I think she only ate pickles and pepperoni for lunch.



The girls enjoying their sodas at Chicago's Pizza :0 Look how dark my blonde is! Christian used to be my blonde now she is more of a brownie :)
