Missing in Action!

We had an Easter egg hunt the week after Easter and since then my camera has been missing.  BJ and I think that it got left or thrown away after the party.  I have a hard time blogging with no pictures but thanks to my Dad and Kathryn who let me borrow their camera for McKell's Bday party I have a few pictures.

McKell is 4

McKell turned 4 while we were at my sides family reunion.  We were at Zions Pondersosa.  They had lots of activities and a big swimming pool that the girls loves.   They had a zip line that they open the door upstairs and you step out and fly out into the middle of a field.  Well McKell had been watching people do it and she decided that she wanted to go on the swing too.  We got all the way to the top which was 63 stairs (Yes I really know how many stairs there were,  the guy at the top asked if we counted and then told us how many there were,  my legs felt like I had exercised for an hour when I got down) and McKell looked out the window and started bawling hysterically. 
So for her birthday we took her back over and told her she could pick her activity.  She choose to jump on the trampoline that has a harness that you can do flips on.  She only jumped she didn't understand doing a flip but she had lots of fun.  Being that her birthday day we were out of town we had her party on the 15th of June instead.  She had friends from preschool come which was a first for us.  She was really excited to see them.  We also had lots of cousins and friends come as well.  We played pop the balloon, Duck Duck Goose and eat the donut off the string. 
Pop the balloon was really funny because they didn't understand the concept for the first 5 minutes of the game. 
The donut game I don't think anyone played without cheating. It was lots of fun and she got spoiled with presents from everyone. 
 I also made her a Tinkerbell cake that turned out alright.

We love McKell and she is getting so smart.  She can spell her name and write it.  She can also identify alot of the alphabet.  She also knows when BJ and I are doing something that we have told her not to do and will call us on it.  She is truly our girly girl who loves to dress up, sing in her microphone and lets not forget the makeup that she loves to put on whenever I leave it within reach.
