13 years ago....

13 years ago, my niece MacKenzie Vaugh was born. She had brownish, blond hair and blue eyes. Actually her hair looked like she had highlights done. She was beautiful, and sweet. I loved watching her grow up, she has always mad be smile and laugh.
Today she is smart, funny, caring and an awesome soccer player. She loves soccer and is a natural, at least I think so. Molly and Ryan have really helped her developed her talent,
and have done a lot of driving to make sure she is doing what she loves.
This picture was taken just after he team won State in 2007

I took this one this morning. As she was getting ready for school I stopped by to deliver some balloons and cupcakes to her. I love the quirky look she has. She knows how to make me laugh. I can't believe that 13 years ago I was holding her in my arms snuggling her.
It is hard to look at this beautiful teenager and not get teary eyed.
She has grown so much.
Happy 13th Birthday Mac!
These are the cupcakes I made for her. Soccer balls of course.
She loved them.

I left a dozen for her and Her family to have tonight after dinner.

Has it been that long....

It has been two weeks since I have been able to update this. Man it has been busy around here. The girls are back in school, thank goodness for that. They both love going to school and I think the 3 weeks off was to much for them. Meghan is finishing up her science fair project for Fridays fair and Kassidy is back into the same routine. The twins are doing well and I am working on letters and numbers with them.
I have been getting up and showered and dressed everyday. The makeup thing has been a little bit harder, I think it is just something I have to get use to. I have also been working on the weight loss. I have lost 5 pounds and have been using the wii fit. So I am starting to workout some. I still have a long way to go. One thing I have done is cut out soda. I had been drinking way to much. I am down to less than a can a day. I am drinking mostly water and crystal light.
Yesterday I helped my neighbor Mandie make cupcakes for her boyfriend's birthday. We decided to go with Pacman. Pretty easy. We made Pacman and the ghost with Chocoloate. Next I will be making cupckaes for Meghan's 13th birthday. I can't belive she is going to be a teenager. Where has the time gone.

The cupckaes all finished.

Back to School

Today the kids go back to school......YEAH!!!!
I am so excited, they have spent the past 3 weeks, yes 3 at home.
The first week was due to snow and the last 2 for winter break.
I am so glad that they are going back, but last night at
about 4:30 it started to snow. I had a bit of a freak out.
I thought "They better be going to school tomorrow."
I didn't know I I could spend another day at home with them.
I love my kids dearly, but after 3 weeks we are all getting on each
others nerves.
I love the start of a new year. We had a quite New Year's Eve
at home. We just hung out, the girls and I were the only one to make
it to midnight. Chris and joey were out my 9 p.m.
One of my resolutions for the new year is to not look like I spend all
day at home being at stay at home Mom.
I get up and Shower, Dress, and do my hair. I also put
make up on. I am going to keep up with this one.
What are your New Year Resolutions?
Please share.
