Macie Dancing

Mom- this one is for you! This is Macie dancing. She is watching a movie and in it they do some ballet. She is turning circles with her arms over her head and then she plea's and jumps. If you listen carefully you can hear her trying to say what the teacher is saying. To cute!!! Enjoy!

(I am sorry- I can't get the video to turn the other direction. I have tried everything. Sorry!)

Frosting Cupcakes

This is Macie frosting a cupcake. We decided to make some for valentines day. She helped me make them and put them in the oven and then frost them. She is such a big helper. I think her favorite part was the sprinkles. She didn't even want to eat one when we were done. All she wanted to do was lick the knife and eat frosting. Yum Yum!

Anyways- here are some pics of her in the process. I tried to get some to show the mess she made with frosting, but you can't really tell.

Snow Fun

Here are a few pics that Geoff took of Macie the other day when they were out playing in the snow! To cute!!! (the red scab on the side of her nose is a rug burn. She got it while trying to play and keep up with the bigger kids at church.)

Poor Gepetto!

Ok- so here is a really sad, funny, and never ending story about our fishie! It all started on Saturday when Geoff was cleaning out Gepetto's fish bowl.

The following is what occurred:

This is Gepetto swimming happily in his bowl:

This is Macie playing with Gepetto while his bowl was being cleaned. (yes- I said playing... as if he were a dog or something. She was having so much fun- I just couldn't stop her- plus I had to get a picture!):

This is Gepetto about 20 minutes later when I looked at him in his bowl:

Yes.. he is floating upside down and will not respond to anything we do. Sad to say... Gepetto is dead......... or so we thought..... This is Gepetto 15 minutes after we thought he had died:

He is ALIVE!!! Although he does look injured. He is now swimming on his side and can't quite figure out how to swim straight. Poor Gepetto! We are just glad that we did not flush him when we first saw him dead. And last, but not least, here is Gepetto 24 hours later- swimming happily as if nothing had ever happened! What an amazing fish!

Messy, Messy, Messy

OK- so this morning Macie and I had the usual for breakfast- hot cocoa and toast. Like usual, I gave her some hot cocoa in a little Macie cup. And once again- like usual- I left Macie in the dining room to finish her hot cocoa while I cleaned up breakfast and loaded the dishes. Well- after about 2 minutes I decided that I should check on her- Here is what I found!

(Yes that is chocolate milk all over Macie, my table, the floor, the walls- EVERYTHING!!

Let's just say that my dining room got a really good cleaning this morning!

Sledding!

When we were home, we went to Bear Lake with my family and we stayed in a condo there. We went sledding on a few hills while there. Here are a few pics of us sledding. Geoff was taking the pictures so I was the one going down the hills with Macie. On the biggest hill we went down- everybody was crashing at the bottom- so when Macie and I went down- Geoff was at the bottom to try and catch Macie in case we crashed. Anyways- we ended up not crashing because of the ditch at the bottom of the hill- we crashed because we ran into Geoff who didn't move out of the way fast enough! Pretty funny! Unfotunatley we don't have any pictures of this- however- we do have it all on video if any of you would ever like to see it!

Decorating Cookies!!

Ok- so sorry it has been so long since the last post. We were out of town and then I just haven't thought about it since we have been home. So I am going to do a few posts and let you know how our vacation was.

First- here is Macie helping frost sugar cookies. She had a lot of fun and really enjoyed eating them. Aunt Nana is helping her.

Playing in the Snow

We are in Twin Falls and took Macie outside the other day to play in the snow. Here she is in her big snow suit. She then proceeded to fall into a trailor that was parked on the side of the road. She landed right on the hitch with her mouth hitting first. Luckily- she lost no teeth and just has a really fat lip from it. It was kind of scary because of the amount of blood- but all is well.

Christmas Morning!!

We had our Christmas today becuase we are going out of town on Saturday and couldn't begin to pack all of our presents. It was so fun to do our own thing! Macie loved it! She was so excited to come down those stairs and see that kitchen that Santa brought. Then in the end- she was so excited to get her baby doll and stroller she wouldn't let them go. She also got a little purse with her baby which she is CONSTANTLY trying to wear and keep on her shoulder. She gets mad everytime it falls off and promptly turns to the purse and screams at it. Way to FUNNY!!

It was great. Once she opened one present and realized that something cool was inside- all she wanted to do was open the rest. She wouldn't really even look at what was in them- (unless it really caught her eye) she would just go and grab the next one. It was pretty funny. Needless to say- it was a WonDerFul Morning! Here are some of the pics from our Christmas!

Santa!!!!

We had our ward Christmas party the other day. We were so excited to see Macie see Santa and sit on his lap. We stayed the whole time just waiting for Santa. Finally- Santa showed up!! So we dashed to the front of the line (so we could leave and go home.) Well- needless to say all of our waiting was totally worth it just for this picture!!
