I love the sound of squeaky feet

The summer heat is officially here in AZ. We hit 112 degrees on Friday and it was painful! Ballet flat shoes were never made to withstand the heat of asphalt at that degree. In other news, Mckinley is 9 months old of of Thursday! Seriously, she gets more fun everyday. As you all know, I have pirated my child to a "Cutest Kid" contest. Hey, my kid is darling, we all know that, so why not throw her out to America to decide if she is worth $2500!! Vote for Mckinley!!http://www.wetv.com/cutestkid/rating.php/8328/?pos=154

Today is Saturday- got up early and hit the yard sales with Lindy Iund as my sidekick. I played wingwoman today (the one who looks out for the signs). I got a few gems- an original Cupie Doll for $2 to go in Mckinley's room, some clothes for Mckinley (.50 cents-$1 a piece) and there was a random lady selling things like Quattro razors, ziploc bags, etc- all for $1-$3 so we both scored there. Last night we went to the Elders Quorum game night@ the church and busted out some Rockband and Uno. It was fun and we got to leave Mckinley with a babysitter- our sweet neighbor girl Kristen. Tonight, Mark's brother Matt is coming in from Utah so we get to go out and see "Harry Potter" YES!

I get to play single mom this week as Mark and a few dudes are working in Eager, AZ. They are going up there to paint an apartment complex Mon-Thurs. for the next four weeks. That should be a good time and I am not looking forward to getting up @ 5:00 to be on time! It will work out and it will be nice to have the money plus there are a few dudes going that need the work for their families too so it is a win/win for everyone involved. The Lord is really looking out for us :)

Here is just a cute video of Mckinley in her squeaky shoes (Thanks Sunni!!). They are still a little too big but the feetie jammies held them on pretty well. What was even more funny, Cory (the dog) was going nuts too thinking there was some squeaky toy somewhere for him to play with.
