Bad Mommy!!

So I am a bad mommy...it has been a long while since I posted anything to Makena's blog. I felt so guilty after I ready Holli's wonderful Pretty on the inisde post. I never thought of a blog as something for Makena someday. I thought of it as something I am doing to keep relatives informed. What a gift to give to my baby girl someday.

Anyway...off my "I feel sorry for myself" mode...

A couple of weekends ago was fun...Makena and I went to see her Ba Ngoai (vietnamese for grandma...specifically grandma on mommy's side). We went to Grapevine Mills Mall and decided this particualr mall is WAY too crowded for a baby...no need to ever drive that far to go to a mall again! Do people have any respect for two woman and one of them pushing a baby in a stroller?? We would be going one direction and someone would be coming at us head on and wouldn't budge...nevermind the fact that he was driving...err...walking on the wrong side of the road! I truly believe that walking in the mall should have the same laws as driving. If we drive on the right side of the road we should walk on the right side of the mall...I felt like I was playing chicken with these grown adult and my baby in her baby stroller.

This last 4th of July weekend was fun! We traveled to Texarkana to visit with Grammy, Grandpops and all of Makena's relatives on Justin's side. Mommy and daddy forgot the camera so maybe we can get some pictures from grammy soon to post to the blog. On Saturday we ate at TLC a local hole in the wall burger joint downtown...Justin loves this place...not to mention the burgers are pretty darn good! Then we surprised Makena's Aunt Sarah at CiCi's pizza for her birthday. It was all good fun. We all went back to the house for cake and ice cream and Makena soon after went night night. She missed fireworks on her first 4th of July...don't most babies miss their first 4th of July fireworks?? It's hard to keep a crabby baby up just so she can cry as loud as the booms of the fireworks. On Sunday we went to my mom's for a family barbque. That was fun until the karaoke machine was turned on and the playing cards came out. then Justin and I were out of our element and Makena was getting pretty sleepy. Home we went and boy was she a little trooper!

Yesterday we carted her all over McKinney and she took it all in stride...as long as we were holding her and she wasn't in the carseat or the stroller. Of course she was in bed before the McKinney Forever Free fireworks.

So not much else going on. I sure hope I have caught up for the missing blogs. Faith is still in OKC visiting with her family. We are so glad to have her back tomorrow!! Although she had a pretty nasty boo boo (Flip-flops Plop) she is one of the happiest baby I know!


There's that camera in my face AGAIN!


Look at those chunky legs!!
