My cousin's 4 year old daughter has been diagnosed with Cancer and needs all they prayers and blessings she and her family can get. Please help us and pray for little Jessica.

She's a fighter.
I can't imagine being in her parents shoes. I pray for Cody and Chandra and little Jessica during such a hard time. I tear up and cry everytime I think about it. Not an hour goes by that I don't think about them.
Please take a few extra minuets during your prayers and pray for Cody, Chandra, Jessica and all of the family!
Thank you! The prayers are greatly appreciated!

2010 Family Pictures

Isn't the the cutest costume ever? I'm pretty sure it is!

Judy Pasley took our pictures the end of October and we had so much fun with her. Judy did a great job with the pictures
Maec now has 2 teeth and working on a third.
She is always jabbering "Hi Dad, dad dad dad"
or "dog, dog, dog"
She crawls so fast now. We finally had a put up a baby gate. She doesn't do the worm anymore.
She eats EVERYING. She loves all foods
She LOVES to open the wrapped presents under the tree.
She has always been such a good natured baby, no problems or complaints from us, Well yesterday at church she was so bad. and she has never been like that. It was so frustrating. We still love her anyway.

We were so excited to go on our cruise in January but it has been cancelled because it was the ship that was all over the news for catching on fire. :( I was pretty crushed. We are waiting for our money to come back so we can book another one. Hopefully we can book one for soon!
I have lots more pictures but I will load them later. I am babysitting Maecie and Brynlee today. They have been such good girls! Brynlee makes me want a new baby. I miss Maecie as a tiny baby. :( All the stages are fun but I miss them as they pass!

HELP!

For some reason all day today when I try to upload photo's it won't let me. I click upload and it says they are loading and then after about 20 min the page times out...Are any of you having this problem?

I am seriously the worlds worst blogger. I have so much to blog about and so many pictures to show all of you, however, blogger is ridiculous and won't let me upload any photos at the moment.

This last weekend was Taylor and I's 2 year anniversary. He told me for a few weeks prior to last weekend that he had something planned and he wasn't going to tell me. So we dropped Maecie off at Grandma Bonnie's and went and had Lunch at Joe's Filling station in Rexburg. After lunch Taylor blindfolded me and drove around for about 2 hours and we ended up in Teton Village, WY at an amazing hotel! LOVED IT. We went and had an AMAZING and I mean AMAZING massage. It was an hour and a half. I was seriously in Heaven. Then we went and had dinner in Jackson and looked around at some of the shops. Then we finished the night off by going to the hottub! We had so much fun. We came back Sunday, to see that sweet face of Maecie's. Taylor pretty much got and A+ on this anniversary!

Monday (11/15) Little Maec cut her first tooth!!! So exciting for us since her gums have been swelling and going down for about the past 5 months! She doesn't "crawl" she does the "worm" as we call it. She is quite the kid. She is pretty much always happy and sleeps so well. I am way to spoiled. I don't know if I want any more kids because she is so good and I am sure if we have more they will be naughty compared to this angel we have now.

In October I went to Arizona to see my siblings that moved in July! It was so good ot see them! We had so much fun shopping, swimming, playing volleyball, going to Coleson's Basketball game, Mitch had surgery...It was a fun filled week! I miss them so much. Hopefully I will be going down again soon!

I will Blog much more later when blogger will let me upload lots of photos!
Hopefully I will be better at blogging!

Maec had 4 month shots a while ago. Here are her stats...
16.3 lbs - 82%
26 1/4 inches - 94%
Head - 16 1/4 inches - 42%

She is such a tall girl. She must get that from Grandpa Dean.

SO much going on lately. Tenille and Doug are married. The reception was BEAUTIFUL. Those Hix girls know how to throw a party!!!

I now work from home...no more leaving Maecie!!! WHOOHOO. I love it. This is my first week home and I couldn't be happier. We have fun.

My aunt invited us to Ross park with her boys a few weeks ago. We invited Randi and Paige to go as well. It was a big party. Maecie loved it. Ethan and Paige weren't too sure about it. We had fun anyway though.

I win the award...

I win the award for worlds worst blogger!!
I haven't blogged in a long time. So much has happened. I will just update some today and then more this week.

*May 14, 15, and 16 - Went to Utah for a wedding and then the next day met up with Coleman, Randi and Paige. Maecie and Paige were awesome on their first trips. They swam for the first time. Maecie loved it. It took Paige a few min but then she loved it too.
*May 27 - Maecie rolled over for the first time.
*May 31 - Maecie slept in her own bed for the first time and has slept there ever since. NEVER wakes up in the night. I know...My girl rocks! Not to brag but seriously, what baby do you know sleeps all night starting at a month old?!?!
*Maecie doesn't need any more occupational therapy for her neck! YAY!
*Maecie loved the parade even though we were dressed in winter clothing for it.
*She slept through the Melaluca fireworks but the next night she absolutely loved. Dad, Jas and
Chris lit a bunch off.
*June 26- Family pictures...I thought they turned out wonderful
*July 2- My youngest three siblings moved. Sad. I bawled like a baby. It has been really hard on me. I miss them dearly.
*July 5- We pierced Maecie's ears. So sad but she looks so darn adorable. I made Taylor hold her!!
*July 10-Went to the Temple with Tenille and Doug. Wonderful experience. I love the temple. No greater place on Earth. Also Scott's Birthday. We had a BBQ for Missy since she is moving on July 16. Sad. I will miss her dearly. We had a wonderful time and laughed at the BBQ.

Dr appt.

Her bandaids!

Her cute little outfit today. I send the family a picture of her each day so they can see how much she changes. Its amazing how much she changes from day to day.

Maecie had her 2 month appointment today! I can't believe she is already 2 months! How time flies!!

Weight - 11lbs 7 oz (62%)
What a chunk at her 2 week appt she was only in the 5%!!!
Height - 22 3/4 inches (68%)
Head - 15 3/4 (72%)

Today when Dr. Edwards was looking her over she was just talking and smiling at him. He was amazed at how much she "talked" and smiled at him. He said he had three 4 month olds in there before Maecie and she was "talking" more than they were. She LOVES to talk and smile!

She was all smiles until they gave her the shots! She cried a cry I have never heard out of her before. POOR GIRL! I cried too! It was so sad. But she has to have her shots to keep her healthy! It was still super sad though!

A couple weeks ago Maecie's letters for her room finally came.
So I finally had some time tonight to get them decorated.

These pictues are really out of order...sorry.

This is Maecie after everyone left the lunch...we changed her into some normal clothes...I LOVE this outfit!

Look at those cheeks! She was so tired by the time we started these pictures. She kept trying to go to sleep.

Love her bracelet

Beautiful Face

Maecie and Ethan...Such cute kids.

I can't believe I never blogged about Maecie's blessing!

She was blessed by her wonderful daddy on April 11th. It was such a great day. She looked so BEAUTIFUL, as always! :) I am a proud mom.

I was nervous that Taylor would bless her with the wrong name. Before she was born he always joked with me that he was going to bless her with the name Phyllis Mae Morrow...and call her Phyllie Mae...Not cool. So I was really nervous he would really do it.
I am so grateful he didn't. Taylor was so calm and collected. He didn't sound nervous and it was PERFECT for little Mae.
Maecie was awake most of sacrament and she was so good. Just looking around at a new surrounding.

I can't believe how content Maecie is. Seriously...we are spoiled parents. So far her first two months of life have been a cake walk. I thought it would be much more challenging but she definatly has her dad's "go with the flow" personality.
She rarely cries, she just grunts when she is ready to eat or needs a little "snuggle with mommy" time.
She has been sleeping from 10:00 to 5:30-6:00...every few night she will wake up once but mostly sleeping through the night (like I said...we are spoiled).
Maecie is VERY aware of what is going on around her. You talk to her and she smiles and laughs and this week she has started to stick her tounge out when you stick yours out at her. It is fun for her to learn new things.

We go for shots Monday. I think I will probably cry...actually, I will probably BAWL.

Thank you to all of our friends and family that came to support us and to share Maecie's special day!

beautiful girl...

I forgot to post Maecie's newborn pictures a while ago. Here are a few.
She is such a precious girl.

Today was our first day at work together and she did awesome! She didn't make a peep all day! She is such a wonderful girl! So content and happy.
I love her more than words can say.

Maecie...

Maecie loves to lay on our bed.

This sweet little girl always sleeps with her hands by her face

She is FINALLY starting to enjoy her bath time!

Oh how I love this sweet angel.

Sweet little face

I love this outfit on her! She is adorable.

Cute Pj's and her little fish face.

I can't believe that Maecie is 5 WEEKS OLD today! Time is flying by! We have thoroughly enjoyed having her in our home! We are truly blessed. She is such a content baby.

I had mastitis last week and that was pretty awful but I am so grateful that I am feeling better. While I was sick Taylor had to change his first diaper! FINALLY! at 4 weeks old he changed her diaper!
