6 years

Reece and I have been married for 6 years now on (June 26). Wow how time flies when you're having fun!! We have had a wonderful 6 years. We both finished our schooling, we've moved five times, we bought our first house, sold it and built a home, had a baby boy and then our baby girl was due on our anniversary last year but came a few days early so we could enjoy the day at our home instead of the hospital. Kenz was still here so we talked her into babysitting for us while we went down to the big city to relax. We went to dinner and a movie, the DI, and then went swimming. We've been married six years, but we've been together for eight. Thanks babe for making it an enjoyable eight years! I love you.

Macee One Year Pictures

My friend, Juanita, took Macee's one year pictures. They turned out so good; I couldn't be happier. To see them click here. Please leave a comment on her blog. If I get ten comments I get two extra pictures, and I'm having a hard time choosing which ones I want, so any extra would be great. Macee did so good even though it was around 100 degrees and almost bed time. Thanks so much Juanita.

Macee turned 1

Macee had a great first birthday. I can't believe my baby is one already. Time goes way to fast. We love her so much. We got this bubble machine for her for the party and the kids all loved it. It made some pretty cool bubbles. She loves playing with her cousins. She also loved her cake. She ate her whole cupcake, and then she wanted another one. Macee was lucky enough to have her aunt Kenzie here for the party. We were glad she could make it. Thanks everyone for making it a fun party and for the presents. We sure love you Macee.

Ox Valley Campin

We went up to Ox Valley campin with Orrin and Georgia in the middle of June. We had a lot of fun. Parker and Reece caught craw dads in the little creek, Meg and Trav came up to roast a hot dog and Macee enjoyed herself some licorice!! She loved it, however she didn't love sleeping in a tent for some reason. She has always done really well, but this trip she wasn't havin it. Good thing we were close, I brought her home each night around 4 am to sleep in her crib. After fighting her for a couple hours I told Reece I was done and we came home to sleep. The boys went fishing at New Castle and didn't catch anything and the girls went to St. George shopping. That was after Georgia had to take the keys out to New Castle because the boys forgot them at home. What we do for our men!! We had a fun weekend.

catch up

I'll be catching up soon. I have lots to post, but here's a cute one until I get it all done.

Swimming!!!

This summer we have been swimming and going to splash pads quite a bit already. Last summer, with me being preggo and then with a new born, we didn't go swimming once, so this year I'm trying to take the kids lots. So far we have gone at least once a week, and we've had so much fun but no camera to capture the fun times. Today I remembered it though. The kids had a blast swimming. I was surprised how long they lasted. We swam for an hour and a half, and I had to drag them out! Now I am enjoying some quiet time, while they take nice long naps. The kids are so much fun. I don't know what I did with myself before them. We are going to stay overnight at the St. George house and probably go swimming again tomorrow before we go home.

This is Macee's latest face that she pulls. Isn't it great?? She always looks at everyone with this look on her face. I'm not sure what it means. Also this is kinda how I've started doing her hair. I was doing headbands, she pulled them out, so I started doing a pigtail on top of her head, she pulls that out now so she always has a mohawk, and her hair doesn't lay flat, so I put some gel in it and it goes kinda curly and crazy. She is such a cutie!! I love her to pieces.

Parker was jumping in with his tube. He thought he was pretty big. He also kept putting his head in the water. Hopefully he'll be swimming with floaties before long.

Memorial Weekend!!!

We went camping with Orrin and Georgia for Memorial Weekend. As always we had tons of fun. Reece and Parker went out Friday night. Macee and I went out Friday night after Susy Randall's viewing and ate hamburgers then we came back home, so I could attend Susy's funeral on Saturday. It was a great service. She was a really neat lady. Saturday afternoon Macee and I went out and camped the rest of the weekend with everyone. We couldn't have asked for better weather. It was great. We camped between the reservoir turn off and the reservoir. I've never seen so many people up there. It was packed. We rode the rhino and 4-wheeler, went fishing, took the dogs swimming, played in the dirt, played games, and ate good food. Parker was in heaven riding grandpa Orrin's 4-wheeler that he bought for the grandkids. He thought he was so big and cool to ride by himself. He did a great job although I was pretty nervous he was gonna run into a tree or get bucked off. He only had one close call, but he recovered it pretty well. Kenz and Randan came for the weekend. It was a short visit and spent between both of their families, but we did get to see them a little. They came up on Sunday afternoon and visited us. We took Ginger and Moby (the dogs) up swimming. Then we went back to camp for some yummy dutch oven chicken and potatoes. My mom and dad also came up and ate with us. On Monday we came home and worked out in the yard. Macee was in the water in no time and then played in the mud. She loves to get dirty. Monday night we ate with my parents and celebrated my dad's birthday.
