I'm Rubber You're Glue

I'm sitting on the coach playing with the two little ones and Makaylee hits me on the leg. So I proceeded to tell her how that was not nice. The conversation went like this....

Me - Makaylee you don't hit, that's not nice it's ugly

Makaylee - I not ugly....you ugly

Me - (giggling under my breath) No, I wasn't saying you are ugly I was simple stating that hitting is not nice it is ugly to do that.

Makaylee - Mom, uh...I not ugly.... you ugly

Ok, so at that point I said forget it. I didn't really know how to explain it in a three year olds verbiage. Note to myself....don't use the being ugly metaphor with Makaylee.

Scott's Birthday

Yesterday was Scott's birthday, he turned 38. Just two more years baby and we will be having the big "40" party. I can't say much, I'm barely creeping behind him. We are somewhat party poopers...didn't do much celebrating, Scott and I have had the allergy crud this week. We did however get him a cake, which was more for the girls than him. You know kids, how dare you celebrate a birthday without cake. ;c)

We also went to a Japanese Hibachi Steak House, this was the first for the kids. This was one of Scott and my favorites place to eat before we had the kids. They are getting old enough to do things like this now. Madison was totally amazed and has not stopped talking about it. Makaylee was in awh of the whole thing but I think she was more impressed by the group of kids who where there before their prom. Makaylee said they look like princesses. Oh how I envision and hefty price tag on her prom dress. Maybe I should starting saving now. Macey was startled by the fire and kept hiding her face into my side. It was quite funny because she would raise back up and say, "i ok". I took the pictures at the restaurant with Madison's p&s. Sometimes I forget how I miss those little cameras.

Mischief & The Pout

I peeked around the corner caught this little mischievous thing standing on the dishwasher getting a sippy cup. Uhm...apparently she wanted something to drink and was going to take it upon herself to get it.

The below picture is a re-enactment of the crime since it was not wise to grab the camera for a photo shoot of this one. It all began the week we moved into the house. My mom and I were in the office on the left side of the stairs putting the office furniture together when my motherly intuition kicked in and said to check on Miss Macey. Low and behold I came around the stair case and there she was hanging on to the outside railing climbing up on the edge of the eighth step, exactly where the placed doll is. It may not look that high in the picture but in fact it is about 5 1/2 feet off the floor. Needless to say Miss Macey received a spanking and I probably lost a couple of years off my life span due to my heart stopping when I first saw her. I would like to know what makes kids be so mischievous and climbers. My friend Carrie says her little girl has never really gotten into things like that. Girl your lucky. Apparently I am paying for mine or Scott's raising and I choose to believe it is Scott's. ;o)

I have been wanting to capture this moment for a while now. Miss Macey has the most pittyfulness pout I have ever seen in my life. When she is scolded, the bottom lip sticks out quicker than you can blink your eye. She looks like a little hound dog with her big blue eyes, chubby cheeks and her bottom lip pooched out. The girl definitely knows how to work it.

Macey...No Longer a Baby

It saddens me to see my baby growing up. It has been really tough on me knowing she is the last one. Three weeks ago today I decided to wean her off the pacifier. She never was really addicted to it, I only allowed her to have it when she was sleeping. But when we took our road trip to the south in January I became dependant on it to keep her settled down in the car. Then once we decided we were not going back to Idaho and began living with my in-laws I was still leaning on it to keep her quieter. It got to the point that she had the pacifier in her mouth 24/7. She was even beginning to start talking with it in her mouth. I knew it was time of the passy to go!! Unknowing to her, I started cutting the tips of the passy off while she wasn't looking. I wish I could have video tapped the look when she picked up the first one and stuck it in her mouth. She took it out as quick as she had put it in and looked at it and said, "nasty". She carried it around with her for a few days, never complained, whined or whimpered about it. She is now passy free and has not asked for one until two days ago and I told her they were gone gone and she went on with her business. She has however, substituted the bear for her passy. Keep in mind when she slept she always had a passy in her mouth and one in her hand. Now she asks for her "baby" aka the teddy bear before bedtime. I definitely ok with that, in fact I think she looks sweet snuggling her baby.
Macey's hair is getting long. After her bath the other night I twisted her hair and pulled it up in a hair class. She looked so big. The second picture I took Easter showing how curly her hair is. I did nothing to her hair but wash and dry it.

Makaylee's Easter Pictures

It was a beautiful day out so I finally got around to taking pictures of Makaylee in her Easter dress. She is such the little diva...the girl absolutely loves the camera....poses with out me having to tell her what to do. Awhh, I trained her well. I also hid eggs for her since she did not get to participate last Sunday. She really enjoyed, I just wished she could have done it with the other two. Well as least I finally get to toss the eggs, whew wee they were starting to have a stinch to them.

Easter Weekend

Hope everyone had a wonderful Easter. We had a pretty busy weekend. We started off by dying eggs Friday afternoon. The girls had a blast. Makaylee and Macey really had fun but seemed kind of confused at first like is mom really going to less us make a mess with this stuff. Especially Macey, she kept looking at us with approval with every little move she made waiting for us to tell her no. She didn't like getting the dye on her hands, she kept asking for a nakin (aka napkin). She as at that stage where everything is gross, ewww, nasty. Currently those three words are her favorites right now. Makaylee and Madison did not want to end the adventure when all the eggs were gone so they continued by trying to tye dye some of their eggs and I have to admit that some came out looking pretty cool. Madison also had fun tye dying paper towels and one of dad's old t-shirts with the left over dye.

Below is when Makaylee dropped the first egg she grabbed.

This was Makaylee's hands after she finished dying eggs. Last year I learned my lesson about letting them dye eggs the day before Easter. It takes a couple of days for the dye to wear off.

Are you sure I can drop this egg in here mom!

The family comedian.

Saturday I took Makaylee and Madison to see the new Hannah Montana movie. It was really cute, not cheesy like I thought it might be like. Makaylee wasn't feeling well and slept during half of the movie. Sunday morning we visited our first church here. It was ok, not somewhere I would attend regularly though. We will keep trying until we find somewhere we feel like is home. It was a nice day with he sun shinning bright when we left this morning but geez that wind would cut you into. This was really the only descent picture I got of all three of the girls. Makaylee still wasn't feeling well and you could tell the cold wind was hurting her. She slept all through church and the rest of the day on the couch. Hopefully she will be feeling better tomorrow for me to take her out for some pictures.

Madison is photogenic, thank goodness she took after her mother. hee hee

Macey was really really excited that she found two eggs. Too bad the picture is blurry. :(
