I decided I better give BJ some credit for how well he has done this summer. I know that I gave him a hard time in my last post but with me being out of commision he has picked up a lot of slack. He goes outside with McKell and plays on her swing set and has gotten soaked in the sprinkler with her (which if you know BJ if he doesn't do water when he is not in a swimsuit).

McKell and her Dad have also been going out on the 4 wheeler almost every night. McKell will bring him the key to the 4 wheeler and he goes without complaining. She loves hanging out with her dad.

He and she love to growl at one another. So if we are ever in a restraunt and you are wondering why she is so loud now you know. making her laugh. McKell and I LOVE YOU BJ! Thanks for all you do for us!!

Our own Little Mermaid!

McKell loves to watch Little Mermaid and she sings Ariel's Song all the time. I thought I would put this clip of her on to show how smart she is getting.
If you payed close attention you saw that McKell found her own dingle hopper and decided that she would comb her hair with it and then she decided to take the egg and run it through her hair. She finished her performance by eating the egg.

McKell and Dad's Adventures

McKell and her dad were at home today when dad decided he needed to use the restroom, leaving McKell on her own. When he came out he saw that she had used her artistic abilities on the new pictures on her and her cousin Steven. I always know when I leave BJ at home to be mister mom that anything can happen. This summer BJ decided that he was going to go to summer school and watch McKell. He has had some very interesting adventures with her. I was working one day and got a phone call from BJ asking me to run over to Smith's. I asked him why and he asked me just to come. When I got there BJ was standing on the outside of the truck and McKell was inside the truck. He had put the keys on the seat of the truck and put McKell in the truck, while he returned the cart. She preceded to lock the truck from the inside, leaving BJ locked out of the truck. He tried to get her to push the button to unlock it but she only laughed and hit the lock button again. She thought it was a fun game. Then that same week he was mowing the lawn and she was playing nearby. He went to look for her about five minutes later and she was standing in the road. He decided after this adventure he should leave her in the house while he mows lawn. So one day I came home from work walked in the door and sniffed the air. I thought wow it smells like baby powder. There was baby powder every where my family room, the kitchen, the stairs and her bedroom. Not to mention she was covered from head to toe. Needless to say he has told me several times since then that he does not like being Mister Mom and that he will be getting a job next summer.

These are the recenct 3-d photos that were taken for me. Last week I had to do a 24 hr urine again and then some blood tests. Britney (ultra sound tech) offered to "practice" on me with the new ultrasound machine after I was done with the testing. I told her I thought the pictures look like clay shoved together.
My testing came back as it always does my urine was high and the blood work was fine. They have been doing all this testing because my blood pressure has been staying consistently high. The doctor asked me yesterday if I had to work and I told him I definetly needed the money but if he put me on full bed rest, then work would put me on short term disability. He gave me two weeks to get my blood pressure down or else he will put me on bed rest.

I haven't done anything this summer except for work and put my feet up. I

wouldn't choose this lifesyle for anyone. I am so bored with the TV I could scream. I haven't got to go 4 wheeling or camping which anyone who knows me knows that I love to do these two things. The only time I get to do anything is if it is nighttime (ie the fireworks or a nighttime parade). I am ready for some real action.

On the fourth of July we took McKell to the carnival in Riverton and let her ride the carnival rides. She rode on just a few rides because they were so expensive but she had a blast. She threw a royal fit when we made her go home.

Our family has went to a few parades in the last few weeks. We went to the Strawberry days parade with my family. We then went to the Riverton parade with BJ's family. McKell had so much fun she would sit in her chair until candy was thrown and then she would jump up and run for it as fast as possible. When the band would come by she would sit in her chair and clap and bob her head back and forth.

McKell's Birthday was on June 5th and she turned 2. She did not get a very good nap that day and was not in the best of moods. She shares her birthday with Steve who was born a few hours after her. She got lots of presents from family and had a blast at the end of the night.
