Where do we go?

I know it's been a while and it seems as though I have abandoned my blog. I really haven't! I just feel like my blog is boring and I want it to be interesting to you guys. I started this to keep my family updated on all things pregnancy and then all things Mackenzie. I'm just not sure where it's going. I know I've mentioned this before but I'm getting a lot of spam comments even though I have the word verification set up. Do you think it would be a hassle to make this a "by invite only" blog? I will be updating more as we have been doing some super fun things this summer. I have some craft projects I've been working on too that I would love to share with you! What are your thoughts?

Here are some pictures from the 4th. The weather was overcast and cold. But, we still had a great time with our friends. Mackenzie actually enjoyed the fireworks this year. She got to wear some special ear protection to muffle out the sound. She looked silly but she had fun. Matt showed her how to blow a marshmallow out of a handmade marshmallow gun. And, she really enjoyed helping me make dump cake.
