I have been tagged!

I just found out I was tagged a few days ago and I didn't see it. This is new for me so I hope I do okay. I am supposed to write five things about why I love God.

1. I love God because he saw me and instead of turning his head, he sent his only son Jesus to die on the cross for me.

2. When I'm alone in the dark, when there is no one else there and I need a warm embrace, I feel His arms around me.

3. When fear is the worst enemy I could think of, at a moment's notice,I think of God's word. Psalms 56:3

4. The unknown can be a scary thing. But, when I just put my trust in God the fear just disappears.

5.John 3:16

Happy Birthday to me!

I am going to keep this real short.I am so tired and need to get up in the morning for church. I had a great birthday. Mackenzie and her younger sister, Maddie and her dad came over for cake and to watch me open my gifts. My family and I had Chinese food for my birthday dinner and we had a variety of cheese cakes and eclairs for dessert.

I got hair things and lots of clothes and jewelery. I also received Cd's and other cool stuff. I have to say though, my best gift was getting to see my Mimi!!! She gave me the most adorable Ashton Drake doll. Her name is Emmy and she is so cute!!!

I am going to go to bed. Please pray for our safety when we head back to our home tomorrow night.Thanks!

Mimi's house!

Welcome to my Mimi's house. Here I am whacking my Mimi's Grab It (But it's really not that brand it's a generic) from my sister. I am lying on my bed in the "doll room." (Me and my sister affectionately named it when we were little girls. lol...My Mimi just took the grab it thing from Carole. I guess she didn't like Carole pulling my hair with the thing!lol...

So anyhow I am so tired. It's two in the morning here. I should really go to bed. Oh, I got my hair cut today. Hopefully when my other PC is back up I'll show you some pictures. It's layered and have a little bit of bangs. It was another early birthday gift.

I am having a lot of fun here. I came down with Mackenzie's family yesterday and my family arrived early this evening. My Mimi was surprised to see me and it was so fun to surprise her a day early.

I don't know what we are going to do tomorrow but, I am sure it will be great! Then on Sunday we are going to my old church. It's having an anniversary celebration. So that will be interesting.

Okay, I am drooping right now I need some rest!! lol...I will try to stop by tomorrow.

It's me!!!

Still here........(sigh)

Hello AGAIN!!! Ginger is still on the CPU mend. She says she doesn' t think its' the battery, but something to do within the computer. Like the memory, a gear or some sort of CPU term. She is really dying that she can't have ANY computer and that she can't blog!! :O When we go and visit her and her family my dad will take a look at it and see if he can fix it. Hmmmmm..............Oh I talked to her sister, Carole, last night. And we saying how we can't wait to see each other and then we talked about old times. Carole was the dolls-barbies-tea party friend and Aaron (her brother) was the outside-get dirty-animal-playing friend. Carole and I would always fight about who would play Pocahontas, whenever we got together. Pocahontas was our FAVORITE movie when we were little (ok, ok, it still is:) and if you have seen my picture on my blog ( http://mackenziesheart.blogspot.com ) you can see that I have darker skin and hair color than she does. Well I thought, for that reason, I was more like Pocahontas than she was. So she would always end up playing Nacoma, Pocahontas' best friend. I also thought I was related to Pocahontas because my middle name is Cheyenne, like the Cheyenne Tribe. LOL I know, I know, but hey I was 6!! And then Aaron and I would go outside and play lions, tigers, bears (oh my:) and all sorts of animals. But it was mostly either, Simba and Nala (from The Lion King) or Simba and Kiara (from The Lion King II: Simba's Pride) Good times, good times. Oooh, I'm getting good at this babbling thing huh? Well, I guess I'll sign off (isn't that what Ginger always says?) Bye!

Ginger's friend,
Mackenzie

This is still Mackenzie

Hello Ginger's friends!! Her CPU is still down, so I'll blog for her. Uuuuuummm let's see............ well her birthday is coming up real soon!! She is really excited!! Uuuummm.............nothin' new. I talked to her sister, Carole, and we just talked about stuff. She said when we come to visit we have to stop at this jewelry store she went to, she said it was awesome! Hhmmmmmmm...................I'm not really good at the whole "Ginger Babbling" thing. Your gonna have to pray for her CPU to be fixed, if you want her "Babbling" back, but if you want me that's fine too :) LOL Well, I guess I'll BL!!

God Bless You,
Mackenzie

I am back!!

Okay, so I didn't actually go anywhere but what I meant by the title was I am back posting on my blog. For the last two weeks I had dedicated this blog to my most adorable three year old nephew, who is now back at his own home. We had such a fun time and can't wait to have him back in August.

Now, I know you all have missed my ramblings!!lol...So I decided I would make you suffer no more and start to ramble for you again.

Our annual fourth of July cook out went real well. We had a good amount of people here and a lot of food!!! One of the reasons I haven't been able to post for a couple of days is because of the weather. Man, has it been thundering and if not thundering and lightning just thunder or visa - versa. Needless to say I haven't had the opportunity to get on the net let alone post a message.

Well, we are now in the month of July. My most favorite month of the year. Can anyone guess why?? lol...Well, if you said it's because of my birthday then you have guessed right!!! At the end of this month I will be....??? Can anyone guess?? lol...Maybe I will tell later.

So, I have about a million different things I want for my birthday. But, one of the biggest things I want for my birthday is to go see my Mimi! That will be so great! Well, the other big thing is a laptop. lol...But, I'd rather see my Mimi. Now, if I got both then that would be a birthday I would never forget!! lol...

Okay, I guess I will get off for now before I hear some more thunder again!

Devyn and Patrick

Leslie (my sister) Patrick and Devyn (my other nephew) went home Saturday afternoon. We miss Patrick so much. I can't wait to have him again in August.

 

 

 

 

The parade

I have no time to blog. But thought you would like seeing pictures of Patrick's first parade.Hopefully, I'll be back on for real on Monday.

 

 

 

 

Fourth of July!!

 
“One, two three!” I whisper in his ear. He laughs at my antics as I pull the swing back to my chest. “Are you ready?” I say louder to get another chuckle out of him and then I let the swing go. His little legs start pumping hard as he goes soaring through the sky. “Patrick, you are going so high!” I say as I give him another push.

I can’t see his face but I know he is smiling proud for swinging so well. It’s such a small thing bringing my nephew to the park. But, on this day I just want to praise God that I have that opportunity.

In another land so far away I easily forget that there are men and women fighting for that day I had with him. I can’t imagine how many soldiers wish they can spend a day with one of their family members.

This is my Fourth of July post. I thought it would be appropriate to say lets not forget in the mist of the fireworks and parades to pray for the soldiers who can’t celebrate here.

The train!

Saturday we took Patrick to a tourist area where they have this train ride for children they ride all over the parking lot. Patrick chose Uncle Aaron to ride with him. It was so fun watching Patrick's face light up into a smile when the train started to move!

 

Patrick posing for the camera.

 

Uncle Aaron and Patrick all ready to begin their trip!
