Summer is almost over!!!!

The summer season is almost over but I am definitely looking forward to the fall. We will be able to take Mackenzy for walks and to the playground more often because it won't be so hot or humid out.
We had a busy summer with a day trip to the shore, play dates, a trip to the zoo and many trips up the mountains. She loved the beach and was running all over the place. I can not wait to take her down next year and build sand castles with her! We all loved our Curly fries and Sam's pizza. Whenever we had a play date she was so lovey with her friends, constantly giving them kisses and aww'ing them. A few months really does make a difference because when we went to the zoo, she was more into it than she was for her 1st birthday.
Most importantly, our little monkey has grown so much and is talking A LOT! This past weekend up the mountains, she started calling my mom JoJo. Mackenzy said it a lot...it was "JoJo, JoJo" or "Where is JoJo"! We are working on the grandmom part. She loves her books, especially "No more monkeys jumping on the bed", she says this while shaking her finger. It is hilarious! Also, Mackenzy already has an obsession with shoes! She is 17 months and loves loves loves her shoes. We are in so much trouble!
The past few months have brought some milestones from Mackenzy, a few of our friends have gotten engaged, and some beautiful babies were born. I can not wait to see what the next few months bring!
Here are some pictures of our summer fun!
