"Mommy, Daddy, say CHEESE!"

Makaylee has unfortunately figured out how to use my camera! Whenever she finds it she turns it on and says "Say Cheese". These are just a few of the photos she has taken. Now my photos have this weird glow to them. I think it is from her sticky fingers!

Dress Ups!

We used dress ups as potty training bribes. It worked suprisingly well!

Here, she has earned dress up shoes and a crown, look how proud she is!

She earned a princess skirt!

Here she earned a whole new dress!

My little pimp.

She is potty trained, and loves to dress up in almost anything. Even weird things like my bath robe. She is such a funny kid! She keeps us laughing all the time.

Happy Birthday Sweetheart!

Makaylee! You are the light of my life! You fill our home with sunshine day and night. You are so funny, and have the best sense of humor for a 3 year old! You dance around the house singing made up songs everyday, and they always make me laugh. Thank you for being such a good girl! You have the biggest heart. I love you so much!

Makaylee got this cheerleader outfit for her Birthday from one of her friends.

Grandma "B" came to say happy birthday and gave you a darling baby and doctor set.

Your favorite present? This Radio Flyer skooter from me and your dad. You are so good at it too!

Birthday Party!

Makaylee is 3! She turned 3 the day after Easter. We had a little friend party for her. She was so happy, she kept saying "My friends are here for my Birthday!" We had 8 kids and 6 moms over, and lots of pizza and cake. It was so much fun. They made candy necklaces and bracelets.

Happy Easter!

Happy Easter Baby!

We brought you home from the hospital on Easter Sunday 2004. You were the best Easter present we could have asked for!

Coloring Easter Eggs

This is the first year we have actually colored Easter Eggs since Makaylee has been born. I guess we just thought she was too young to enjoy it the last 2 years? She really loved it this year though.

Don't mind her just-out-of-the-tub wet hair!

Her favorites were the pink and purple ones, of course!

St. George

We went to St. George March 15-18th with my whole family. Makaylee loved staying in the same house with her cousins.


We found these sand dunes up Snow Canyon. The kids had a blast playing in the sand for hours!

Congratulations Terry!

Terry Graduated!
He got his Bachelors in Business Management with a 3.9 GPA!
We are so proud of him!


I threw him a graduation party and invited his whole family over.

We had a graduation hat pinata for the kids.
When the pinata finally broke open, all the candy inside was shattered and tiny flakes of candy spilled all over my carpet!!!


It is so nice to have him home more! But now the job hunt is on!

Peek-a-boo

Who is hiding in there? Surely a Grandma and a Makaylee could not fit in there!

Guess again! Peek-a-boo!


What a good Grandma!

It's a BOY!

I'm going to save him the future embarrassment of posting his boy parts, but believe us, He is a Boy! We're so excited! Terry is thrilled that there will be more testosterone in the house. But when I told Makaylee she shouted "No! It's a girl baby! She is getting used to the idea now though. Tonight she was sitting by me on the couch and she reached over and kissed my (big) tummy. It was so cute!

We Love the Snow!

Makaylee Is Going To Be A Big Sister!

We are due July 6th 2007!

We are so excited!

Merry Christmas!

Merry Christmas!


Every year we have a party with the extended family. We all have to do "talents." Usually we all end up doing something funny, it is good for a laugh. Here we are playing "Deck the Halls" on our kids heads with Boom Whackers.

Makaylee got this giant stuffed dog from my sweet grandma. She has a hard time holding the thing by herself!

Her favorite gift by far is her new bike. We have made the mistake of letting her ride it around in the house because it is so cold outside. How are we going to break that bad habit? Any ideas?!
