Tennis

My sister bought me a ticket to go to California with her for her birthday. I know what a great sister. We both love tennis, and we went and saw a tennis tournament in Palm Springs. Most of the big names were there and we got sit pretty close at some of the matches. You could also watch them practice and sit very close. It was really cool. Sorry if you're not into tennis, you probably won't know who any of these people are. The first picture is the best match we got to see. It was a doubles match roddick/blake vs. murray/hutchins. Andy Roddick is my favorite tennis player and I love James Blake although Blake is starting to fade fast. They won and we were able to sit so close.

Andy Roddick.

Roddick serving. Its the most incredible thing you've ever seen.

Maria Sharapova, she is just practicing here and didn't play well this tourn.

Jelena Jankovic.

Rafa Nadal #1 in the world. He was very fun to watch play. I became a bigger fan.

Andy Murray. I'm not really a fan but we got to watch him practice and we were literally sitting on the side of the court watching. Its amazing how hard they hit the ball.

Tsonga another person I'm not really a fan of but he stood right next to me. cool anyway.

Mackenzie's 7th Bday

Yes I'm very far behind blah blah blah. But I will pick up from where I left off. Mackenzie turned 7 back in May. We had a fun friend party the day before and then on her birthday we drove to Denver for a friends wedding. My sister lives there so it was a good treat for my kids to visit. I drove with the kids all by myself and surprisingly they did very well all the way there.
Opening presents

The cake. Kenz wanted a Star Wars cake. This isn't a very good showing from me in the cake department but she liked it anyway.(She told me I was an artist, yeah right but thanks kenz) If you can't tell its supposed to be a light saber.

That night she got a scooter from mom and dad.
