Burke Beauties Invade OKC

We woke up SUPER early on McKenna's 3rd birthday to fly to OKC for a little over 2 weeks!!!!! Dave was taking a promotional test at work and he sent us packing so that he could get some good study time in and I could have help with the girls.

As always, I was a nervous wreck to fly...but as always McKenna did well and Addi was a trooper also! I pushed McK in her umbrella stroller and had Addi in the Baby Bjorn and we conquered flying just the 3 of us with NO disasters or poopie diapers on the plane :) Pop & Gigi were waiting for us with birthday balloons for the big girl!


Presents and cake for our big 3 year old!


We got to celebrate Father's Day with Pop!


McKenna got to see Pop each morning before he went to work. They got in some good snuggles and fun.

I was spoiled rotten and so were my girls. Everyone took a turn to feed Addison and get some sweet sugars.


A HUGE highlight was getting to meet the latest addition to the Badgett family - Cousin/Nephew Levi! Levi and Addi are just about a month a part and we were sure ready to see him! We drove to Lindsey, OK to see more cousins and the babies were pretty good seat-mates! McK loved cousin Levi and got to help give him a bath. We are sure these kiddos will be best friends for life.

I'm lucky enough to not only have family in OK, but sweet friends too! We got to meet up for a sushi dinner and cupcakes for dessert!


McKenna enjoyed Pop & Gigi's pool - sometimes twice in one day! Gigi taught McK how to make "Monster toast" and had McK's help to paint the house...always something fun to do!


Uncle Keef invited Farmer McK to help him dig up some green beans that needed pickin', so off we went to be helpers! McKenna helped some then really just wanted to run around with Murphy the dog :)


Uncle Kevin got to take some time off work and spent it with us! It was nice to have both of my brothers around!

Off to Owasso to see more family! McKenna loves her cousins Nora and Isaac. We played at Memom's house and McK felt oh-so-big.


Addison got to meet Memom (Great Grandma) for the first time!


A trip to Oolagah, OK was a must! We got to see and pet the horses and new baby kittens at Uncle Jack and Aunt Patti's! We also got to swim in the pool.


A superstar highlight, and surprise, was seeing my cousin, Paul. Paul is a country music singer and we listen to "Cowboy Paul" all the time in the car. McKenna LOVES his music. Paul, and his wife Tanya flew in from Nashville as a surprise and it was awesome! McK was a little starstruck and stuck to Paul like glue!!!! It was really cute :)


So much fun to see my parents with their grandkids. It makes my heart happy.

1, 2, THREE!!!!!


Our McKenna is THREE! It's so hard to believe, but when I look at her I certainly do not see a "little" girl anymore. She is sweet, funny, sociable, and as a memory like a steel trap! She is into Tinker Bell, the Disney Princesses, and accessories :o) Her Daddy is her best friend and she is such a great big sister to her "Addi-bug".

She talks A LOT and the stuff she comes up with can be quite humorous...when asked a question and her response is no she says, "no thank you, I'm just fine." :) Unfortunately at this age she is also starting to think that "bathroom humor" is quite entertaining (sigh). She loves to sing and loves to dance. She has a great imagination! She can be quite a handful, but is a joy to be around and we are so proud to be her parents.


Swimming with friends, at our neighborhood poo,l for her Tinker Bell themed birthday party.


It's so nice that McKenna's closest friends are also our closest friends :) Pizza, chips, and fruit were on the birthday menu.


Cake time! Yum!




It was a fun day to celebrate our girl. She is one blessed little lady and dearly loved.
