Easter, finally

Maicee had a good Easter this year. We went to an Easter egg hunt in Parker on Saturday and it was freezing. Maicee got a couple of eggs, and that's all that matters. I love her Easter dress! I waited months for it to go on sale.





Sorry for the swollen face!


The rest of these pictures are just random/cute pictures of my big girl.

She really loves the movie Despicable Me, especially the ending. She loves to dance along with Gru.







She also likes The Little Mermaid. The other day she went to the silverware drawer, pulled out a fork, and said, "Oh, a dinglehopper!" She then proceeded to brush her hair with it the rest of the day.





I haven't gotten a video of this yet, but she also loves the movie Tangled and will make me either sit or lie on the couch for hours while she brushes my hair and sings the flower gleam and glow song. I try to do the same with her, but she can only sit still for like 10 seconds.

This last picture I just think she is adorable.

Oh, Idaho

Maicee and I took a quick trip to Idaho to visit family. I wanted to go at the end of May for my nephew Brayten's high school graduation, but Dan pointed out that I would be 36 weeks pregnant. So we hopped in the car with a friend who lives in Lakewood, but her family is from Rigby. We stayed there just over a week. Maicee loved playing with her cousin Preslee. She also loved the attention she got from cousins Jordyn and Brayten.

Jordyn and Maicee on the tramp.

We were able to go visit my friend Autumn and her adorable babies. Maicee was a little intimidated by Max at first, (who wouldn't be, he is so handsome!) but loved making him laugh.

I had to throw in this picture of Zoey because she is so gorgeous! Autumn, you have the most beautiful children!



We were able to see a lot of friends that we hadn't seen in a long time, but missed seeing some. There just wasn't enough time. Maybe next trip.


The weather was not as warm as we were used to, but Maicee took full advantage of the fenced in back yard, sandbox, swing set, and trampoline. The last couple of days we were there it was really cold. I was looking forward to coming home to 80 degree weather, but instead this is what we get to enjoy:

Yep, that's right, snow in the middle of May. It snowed all day yesterday and most of today. It's doing a good job melting right now. I hope it's all gone by tomorrow.


Stay tuned, I'm hoping to post pictures of Easter soon.

Prayers are needed!

About 2 weeks ago a girl I went to school with found out her 4 month old little boy has leukemia. Today he started his 6 month treatment. Below is a link to their blog. Please keep this little family in your thoughts and prayers! http://sadieandherboys.blogspot.com

Look what I can do!

Okay, so I've been able to do Maicee's hair this way for a while, but it never turns out how I want it to, or it looks sloppy. Even if I re-do it 3 or 4 times. Yesterday it turned out how I wanted it to on the first try for both sides. That was a big accomplishment for me.

Isn't she so pretty?

This is a picture of her angry face.

And her surprised face (I think she was tired of doing the surprise face).

And this is a picture of where Daisey sleeps when Maicee is napping. Daisey pretends that Maicee drives her crazy, but she lays here on the stairs waiting for Maicee to wake up every day. And every night. They really are best friends. (Maicee's room is just at the top of the stairs).

Halloween, the first snow fall, etc.

These posts may be out of order, sorry for that, but at least I'm putting them up!


This is Maicee and her pumpkin.



Maicee was a lady bug this year for Halloween. She loved it! She still keeps telling us, "Happy Halloween!", then holds out her hands for candy.




Maicee and her cousins. From left to right: Jordan, Justin, Maicee, Jace, and Kerrigan.








Maicee loves the snow! Every time she notices it snowing, she goes to the window and sings "Once there was a snowman", then runs to find her snow boots.



This is Maicee and her friend Ava. Ava is a couple of months older than Maicee and she's in our ward!





And I just love this picture of Maicee.

Maicee's 2nd birthday and some Christmas

I'm finally getting around to some picture posts! Here are just a few pictures of Maicee's birthday and her pink "futterfly" cake. We didn't take many pictures at Christmas because we had the video camera rolling. Oh, and I had to throw in a sick picture of me, since Dan was kind enough to take it.

Maicee got some "big girl" underwear for her birthday; I think she is putting them on in this picture.

This is a random picture of my jumping monkey.

We had a pretty good Christmas this year, Maicee is so spoiled.

It's a...

boy! We are having a boy.
We are having an arctic freeze here. When we went to the dr. this morning, it was -10 outside. Luckily the roads were clear. When we got to the dr., I told Maicee to go get a book to read to her dad. She started walking to where the books are, tripped right before a table, and fell nose first into the edge of the table. She had a double bloody nose. Poor girl. So by the time we finally got back to the ultrasound room, she was not very happy. When the ultrasound tech. told us it was a boy, Maicee kept saying "no, baby, no!" I think she really wanted a sister. Sorry for the pictures, I don't know how to work the scanner. He is going to be a turd just like his sister. She seriously spent like 10 minutes trying to get his hands down from his face so we could get a good face shot. This is the best she got.



We need to find him some clothes or he's going to be wearing pink the first few months of his life!
