Our Week in Recap

(this is a catch up post)
Sunday, June 21st: FATHER'S DAY
By far...one of the best holidays. I love celebrating my husband!!! And he certainly deserves it. The kids and I woke up early and hung a bunch of papers all over the room which had the reasons we love Daddy!! They loved it, he loved it...and I just loved them loving it!!! The best part of the day, however, was when I called Vern from the church (just before a meeting). Our new phones like to talk to us and tell us who's calling (I love it!! It's like another adult in a house infiltrated by kids!! jk). So, when I called- the phone rang and stated "Church of Jesus Christ". Tyler, who likes to listen and tell me who's calling, turned to Vern and said, "Hurry, I think it's Jesus calling!" haha!! If only!! Isn't he cute!! I kept chuckling to myself at inappropriate times during Ward Council (the meeting I was at...and snuck out of early to fix Vern pancakes!!). But I couldn't resist.
And here is a picture I am sure everyone is dying to see...Tyler making pancakes in his underwear. And apron...we can't forget the apron. Vern made sure we had pictures of this one!! What a kid!!

Monday, June 22nd: Rachel's Well Visit
Well, I have officially done it folks!! I have created a SMALL child. I'm still reeling over this. I took Rachel (our 1yr old) in to the doctor. And guess what...she's in the 5th % for weight (and 50th % for height). Seriously!! She's absolutely puny!! And if you've ever seen my other children- you have got to be just as perplexed over this as I am. My other two kids NEVER went lower than the 50% for weight. And neither Vern nor myself are what you would call petite. I can't help but wonder just where this child has come from!! Must be those petite Mackey genes (all of Vern's sisters are tiny-tiny!!). But we love our little, little baby girl!!
Wednesday, June 24th: Puppy Time
So, the girls and I were coming out of a grocery store, where a lady was selling the cutest little puppies. And I just fell in love. I never really wanted a puppy before, but we hope to get one for Tyler eventually. So I figured- if we were going to do it eventually...why not just do it today (not exactly the most fool-proof reasoning). So I made it home from the GROCERY STORE with a dog and no dog food. Absolutely brilliant. But it was meant to be a dog for Tyler- and Tyler absolutely loved him- and named him Max.
Thursday, June 25th: Parasite Time
So, apparently no matter how much you love your puppy, or how good a deal you got for him...they ALL come with crazy big vet bills. And if we are going to have to learn a lesson- might as well learn it right off. We took Max to get shots and walked out $200 later with medication for a stomach parasite (and no shots). I now know that buying a dog in front of a grocery store from a white trash couple is perhaps not the best idea. LESSON LEARNED. But he's sure a cute puppy...or was. I ended up being allergic and we had to find him a new home!! I miss that dog!!
Friday, June 26th: Prince John
For those of you Disney lovers...you may have seen "Robin Hood" once upon a decade or so ago- and thought to yourself that Prince John, with the thumb-sucking and ear-grabbing was a little over dramatized. I mean, really...who does that?!! Apparently Rachel does- that's who. She just started her very own Prince John impersonation. I thought it was just a fluke...but I'm actually writing this almost a week later...and the thumb-sucking, ear-grabbing combo is still going strong!!
Saturday, June 27th: Our Hannah
So I feel like Hannah has unfair representation in this week's recap...but I can't seem to bring any stories to my mind. But let's be honest...Hannah is her own story!! She is our little bundle of excitement- you just never know what she's going to do next, or what she's going to get into next, or who she's going to drive CRAZY next. But she is truly adorable!! And we love her!!
