Halloween!

Carving some pumpkins

We let Maicee draw on the "adult" pumpkin, and then Dan carved what she drew.

Kyson's pumpkin

My little batarina

I asked her to smile, and this is what she did.

My handsome bat

She had a lot of fun!

Too bad I didn't get any pictures of Dan in his costume.  Maicee wanted him to match her, so I made him a black and purple tutu, and he went as a ballerina.

4 months!!!

I figured I better post this before Kyson turns 5 months in 5 days.  At his 4 month check-up, he weighed 13 lbs., 14 1/2 oz. (30 %), and was 25 1/4 inches (60 %).

First time eating rice cereal

I love this face!

So happy!

Big sister likes to share all her toys

Thanks Aunt Wende for the cute outfit!

And he already had socks to match!

What's not to love about this little guy?

Kyson is just so happy all of the time!  Unless he's hungry or tired.  He loves his big sister so much.  He's always laughing at her and trying to talk to her.  He is such a talker!  He almost always stops feeding so he can tell me some story.  Then just goes right back to his business.  He is almost rolling over.  He gets all the way on his side, then flips back to his back.  Maicee has tried several times to show him how to do it.  He still spits up a ton, but always has a smile doing it.  We just love him!

Is it too early to start the countdown?

3 months!

I know this is a little late; I meant to post it last week but didn't get the chance. Kyson is 3 months old. He weighs right around 13 pounds. And he is such a good little baby. I just love him!

So excited!

Love that smile

So big

It's official...

We have a pooper!!!  Maicee has pooped in her potty twice!  That's two poopy bums I didn't have to change!  She has only half-way peed in the potty, but pee diapers are a lot easier than poopy diapers. 

This is after her first pee.

This is after the big poop.

The rest of these are just random pictures that I thought were cute.

I straightened her hair this day, and she drew her first face!

I often have to go searching for Maicee since she can now unlock all 3 locks on the door.  This is what I found one day after looking for her.  Poor little guy fell asleep.  I love his little belly hanging out.

Maicee's friends decided to all dress up one day, and they dressed her up, too.  From left to right:  Kaila, Maicee, Reanna, and Riley.



Kyson and Tad chillin on the couch.

Maicee just had to lay by her brother and play.

And, of course, I had to take a picute of Maicee while trying to take some of Kyson.

Maicee's blog

I have started a blog for Maicee. Well, for Maicee's pictures. She loves taking pictures and somehow takes a lot of them. Some of them are really good, and some are just funny. So I decided to share them with the rest of the world. If you would like to look at them, here's the link http://picturesbymissmaicee.blogspot.com/, or you can find it on my list of blogs on the right. Enjoy!

Miss Maicee

Obvious signs you might be sleep deprived.

1. You wake up in the morning and find a random envelope on your fridge(right where your visiting teaching assignment should be). Upon further investigation, you discover it contained your new visiting teaching assignment, which assignment is now in the garbage under a pile of dirty diapers, at the bottom of the community trash bin.

2. You wash your hair with shampoo 5 times in one shower.

3. After driving home on a busy freeway going speeds of up to 75 miles an hour, you get your 2 month old son out of the back and discover he was not buckled into the carseat, but at least the carseat was buckled into the car!

Yes, I know, I am a horrible mother.
