Miss Heart of the Ozarks Outstanding Teen
Last night Mackenzie went to support her friend Ashton, on Ashton's 13th birthday, as she competed for Miss Heart of the Ozarks Outstanding Teen. Ashton won! Mackenzie was so excited for her friend.

Halloween 2009
7 weeks of being sick + 3 weeks of playing catch up + 1+ month of no posting = 5 posts in one day + a million pictures + zero (or very little) words. I think this will be my last one for the day and I'm going to try to keep up for the next little bit.
After we got home from the trails (previous post) the girls got ready for a fun Halloween night. Here they are with Tinkerbell Bella:

Saturday, September 26
Last Saturday was pretty busy - as is everyday lately (reason for my lack of blogging!). Mackenzie and I started the morning with a movie. The girl's dance studio had a fundraiser and we all went to see Fame. Peyton had a soccer game and didn't get to join us.
I found it to be hard taking a picture in a dark theatre. Tatum, Emily, Maddie, Mackenzie & Rachel:
Peyton got to have some fun too - she went to Molly's party at Justice and she turned into a little rocker. Oh my. 
To finish the day, the Urhahn's had a group over before cotillion for pizza and games.

September 1-23
I can't believe how long it's been since I blogged! Not for lack of content but more for lack of time. What are some of the things that have been filling our time?
Peyton was selected to be on her school's newspaper staff. So cute! She is so excited. Anytime she is working on it - even at home - she has to make sure she is wearing her press pass. She is working on two big stories, one on the upcoming Tailgator fundraiser and one on some of our local parks.
Fall is here - officially yesterday, but the weather lately has made it seem like it's been here for a while and I am LOVING it! My favorite time of year for so many reasons including - football! Here are my little Razorback fans on our first game day. 
We went to Tara's to watch the first game and Peyton had fun playing with Cadence:
Peyton started soccer. She's on the purple team and on the bigger fields this year
We went to visit my Daddy before he left to go be with his father who is dying of cancer in Vietnam. My grandfather and I share a birthday (October 10 - he'll be 80). I know my Dad loves him so much and they didn't get to spend nearly enough time together.
Mackenzie started her second year of Junior Cotillion (and if anyone has a 50's style dress in a gray or black tone that would fit her let me know!):
Mackenzie also started Cross Country! I am so proud of her. I was near tears at her first meet when she crossed the finish line. So great for those lungs! Her pulmonologist has been encouraging her to run and when the opportunity came up this year Jason did what any loving Dad would do. He bribed her. Jason offered to pay her to participate since we knew how good for her it would be. I pointed out she would rather have a cell phone, so negotiations began. Until this year, we didn't think Mackenzie needed a phone (even if almost every other one of her peers had one). She kind of gave up asking for one and even came up with a little joke that she had an LG "Hand". Complete with a whole spiel to go with it. She still doesn't "need" a phone, but it worked and she agreed to run (and I have to say I have enjoyed her having one). But here is the GREAT thing, she actually ENJOYS it and Coach Barrett is so wonderful.
Can you find her? On the right.

Great Strides 2009
This past Saturday, we participated in our 13th Great Strides walk, a fundraiser for the Cystic Fibrosis Foundation. The event raised $75,000! Last year it raised $63,000 and the goal for this year was $68,000. We have such wonderful, supportive friends that join our team and/or donate to Team Mackenzie. Next year, I have a lot of ideas to raise more money leading up to the walk and I am definitely going to do Team Mackenzie t-shirts!

After the walk Mackenzie went to Emily's and joined her at her church for their SummerZover celebration - here they are after a long day!

Caution: Stuff Great Strides Participant Bags At Your Own Risk
Today we stuffed the participant bags for Saturday's Great Strides walk (and they are GREAT bags!). Here is a picture of the hard workers standing with their finished product:
Here they are a little closer up (Charlotte did a great job of hiding while she was holding Caroline, don't you think?)!
I didn't get to take a lot of time with my photo composition because right before the above pictures were taken, Mackenzie BROKE HER FINGER! Crazy accident, the kids were having a great time playing in the big open space and somehow she broke her little finger. We didn't know what she had done - it looked very crooked but she didn't seem to be in any pain and was laughing!

This angle doesn't show how crooked it looks but I took it right before we went for our x-ray confirmation:

1st Day of School
The girls had a GREAT first day of school yesterday! Peyton loved everything and Mackenzie really enjoyed Jr. High - she said she did feel a little overwhelmed, but she was still so happy about the day.
Mackenzie said we could go in with her but no camera - so here is a picture in the car with Emily. I can't wait to hear how Day 2 went. Mackenzie will meet more teachers today since they are on an A Day/B Day schedule.

Back to Everything Week
Last night Peyton had Open House at her new school. She met her teacher Mrs. Phelps and we walked around CPE. We loved Mrs. Phelps and we all have a great feeling and think this is going to be a fantastic year!
After Open House, the girls had their first night of dance. Peyton had ballet:
Mackenzie had Jazz and Hip Hop (here she is with Samantha):
Tomorrow is the first day of school. Today we are going to go walk every aisle of Walmart to figure out something for lunches. I hope the day goes by very slowly - I'm sad to see the girls go back. I'm going to miss them. They on the other hand, seem to be very excited to start and I guess it will be nice to get back into a routine.
