Winter is here

It is unbelievable that 2009 is almost over. This year literally flew by! Maela is growing way to fast. She isn't quite walking yet, but I am sure that will happen too soon as well. We had a fabulous fall.

Ava was Super Girl for Halloween and Maela was a Rock Star. They were a lot of fun to take
around this year. It was the first year that Ava wasn't in tears because she was afraid of everyone in costumes.
Maela is probably the happiest baby ever. She is so fun to watch. She is quite the daddy's girl. I cannot believe that she will be one this month.

HAPPY HOLIDAYS BLOGGERS!

WE'RE BACK!!!

The past few months have gone by too quickly! We are finally settling back into the groove of things
Ava celebrated her 4th birthday in June. She was spoiled rotten as usual, but we have had some good times laughing at her funny stories and comments. The only problem that we have found with her is that she NEVER stops talking. Doug and I are often scolded by her for not giving her our full attention. She started preschool last week and is loving it. I still cant believe that my little girl is learning "curriculum"....what a drag

Maela is almost nine months..... how did that happen? She has been crawling for well over a month now and is starting to pull herself up on furniture and things...total bummer. We hate seeing get bigger, but she sure is stinkin cute. She is developing a cute little personality. Maela is a great baby and we are enjoying every second of her.













Other than that, not much is new. We are just livin the dream
Stay classy bloggers :)

Easter Happenings

We went to Salt Lake this Easter and spent some time with family. Ava enjoyed the Easter egg hunt and it was fun to see her understand the whole concept.

The Easter bunny had to hide quite a few eggs so all the kids could find them....talk about madness. It was a blast.

Maela is growing so fast! She has recently found her toes! She rolled over from her belly to her back. We are still trying to get her to really giggle. She is making us work for that!


Ava's favorite part about Easter was the new basket and the candy.
Cheers to the Easter bunny!!

Look who's smiling!!!

Time goes way too fast! Maela is two months old now, at her check up she came in on the 75th percentile all the way across! I cant believe how big she is getting. She is now starting to smile and coo... which is the best! We love our little Mae bug.

Little Dexter was born on Jan 15, I think that he and Maela are going to be the best of friends:)

Maela was blessed on February 1st, 2009. Doug gave her a wonderful blessing and we feel so lucky to have her here with us.

Growing and growing

We just got pictures back! These were taken when Maela was just about three weeks. It is amazing how fast she is growing and changing. We are loving every second of it.

As always, a big shout out to Bobbi for the amazing pictures!
Ava is a great big sister and is always concerned for "Baby Mae Mae". Although the two kid gig is really rocking our world, we are so blessed an couldn't be happier!
