Spring Break and Makenzie's birthday


Spring Break just isn't the same with a kid in a cast all the way up her leg. We have been home all week. I have been very busy trying to entertain a 10 year old who wants more than anything to go outside and run around. We have done a couple of craft projects, baked three cakes and practiced decorating them with fondant, played some games, and watched tv. Makenzie's birthday is today. She is 14. It makes me feel old. She reminded me that she would be able to get her driver's permit next year. I definitely am not ready for that since she ran the lawnmower into a tree last year. Since Makayla and I were stuck in the house, we made Makenzie a zebra striped cake. I still need more practice with fondant but it was fun. Makayla goes back to the doctor a week from tomorrow to find out if she will need pins in her ankle. Please pray that she doesn't. She is ready to get back on her feet and get rid of the crutches. Monty has not been feeling well this week. He has a sinus infection and is more tired than normal. Please pray that he continues to regain his strength and energy. Thanks for praying and following along. Have a great rest of the week.

  1. The cake is beautiful and I can't believe she is 14. Our oldest will be 27 next Thursday and her baby, Makenna Gwyn, is due the 17th of next month. She is still teaching and is ready for the baby to come. She is going to be able to be a stay at home mom and she is happy.
    What can I say about Makayla? My heart goes out to her and her parents. I have thought about all of you having to deal with this during your spring break.
    We still pray for you, but can't seem to get up there as I am dealing with some health issues. We go to Waco about once a month and last month finally got up to see Aunt Pauline at the nursing home. Her mind is just about gone.
    HAPPY, HAPPY, HAPPY BIRTHDAY, MAKENZIE.
