Poppies Birthday

Poppie's birthday was on Sunday the 27th. Michael, Macie and I went to Ocala to have family dinner to celebrate! All of the kids had a great time playing together. Macie was getting passed around and had a ball. There was so much going on that Macie hardly slept all day! Happy Birthday Poppie!

Scalloping

Michael, Macie, my mom, Rick, Natalie and I all went scalloping. We had such a fun time together. We all woke up early and headed off to Homosassa. We had a pontoon boat resevered for the day and were all packed and ready to catch some scallops. However, when we got there the boat we had reserved wasn't allowed out of the river. We then had to go on an adventure to find a new boat to rent. We drove around for two hours looking for another boat determined that we were going to go scalloping. Michael and I had been telling my mom, Rick and Natalie how much fun it was and everybody was so excited to go. We had many laughs hunting around for a boat all morning. We finally found a nice pontoon boat and were able to go. We had a blast together! Macie loved the boat ride and floating in her tube in the ocean. We will definitely remember our boat hunt! Thanks mom and Rick for taking us, we had a great time!

New Teeth

Macie has finally started to get some teeth. Her bottom two teeth are finally popping through her gums. She loves to stick out her toungue and feel her new teeth. She enjoys biting cheetos and anything else that she can get her little hands on. She has been a little bit fussier than normal but overall she has been absolutely amazing!

Trip to the beach!!!

We took a girls trip down to Cocoa Beach this last week to celebrate Missy's 24th birthday. We had a great time together. The kids had so much fun. Happy Birthday Missy!!! We love you!!!

Hanging out with great friends before the move

Tiffany and Arianna came and stayed with us for a few days before they moved to Oklahoma. We had a great time together! We will really miss them. Macie and Arianna loved eating fudgesicles in the pool.

We are going PRIVATE!!!!

Due to some weird comments from people we don’t know and things that we have heard we have decided to set our blog to private. We love people looking at our blog and staying updated with our family. If you want to access our blog you will need to set up a gmail account which is completely free. Please leave me a comment with your gmail address and we would love to add you to view our blog. I will be setting our blog to private within a week, so let me know if you would like to be added to the list!!! Thanks!!!

Bouncin Around

Macie finally likes her doorway bouncer. I have been trying to get her to go in it for a month or so and she hasn't really liked it. I decided it was time to give it another shot and to my suprise she had a great time. It was so cute watching her bounce around.

My new hobby!!!

Well I decided it was time to learn how to sew some dresses for Macie. These are the first four that I have made. With some help from Gammie and Paula I was able to get the job done. They aren't perfect and I still have a lot to learn but I loved doing it. Hopefully I will eventually be able to make some more complex dresses. Thank you so much for the help grammie and Paula I really appreciate it!

Baby Book

I have been trying to work on Macie's baby book and was needing to get her hands and feet prints. After about ten tries with each hand and foot I finally got what I was looking for. Even though I got paint all over my shorts, table, in my hair and all over Macie it was worth it!!

Hanging out in the tub

Macie has had a cold for a couple of weeks now so I have been trying to keep her out of the pool. Since she loves the water so much I decided to let her hang out in her bath tub. She always loves playing and splashing around in there even though it is so small.

Close the door!!!!!

So Michael has been telling me ever since we have been married not to leave the door open because I'm letting all of the air conditioning out. Well of course I never listen and leave it wide open to run out to my car every now and then. Well I decided to start shutting the door behind me when I found this crawling up the leg of my chair while I was sewing at the dining room table. It was huge and scary!!! Michael of course starting taking pictures of it while I'm standing on the couch screaming KILL IT!!!!

Macie's 6 month pictures

So I decided to take Macie's 6 month pictures myself. Michael bought our family a new camera and I wanted to try it out. I think that they turned out pretty cute even though I am a month late posting them!

Shopping Cart

I decided that Macie was probably old enough to sit up in the cart by herself. She loved it! She played with her toys through the whole store. I just bought the shopping cart cover but I am in need of a different one. The one I bought doesn't cover the whole cart and Macie kept touching the parts of the cart that weren't covered. Nasty!!! I'm going to purchase a new one at the Ritzy Roo party!

Hanging out at Grandma's

All of the kids love going over to grandma's house! They pretty much get to do whatever they want to! Macie loves going for rides on the golf cart. Jayden looks pretty cool in this picture.

Cocoa Beach

This week Macie and I went to Cocoa Beach to the condo with my mom Natalie and Briana. We had such a great time together. My mom and I stayed up late and watched several movies together. It was so nice to be able to relax on the beach. Macie loved playing in the sand and hanging out in her bumbo chair. She was even able to take a quiet nap in the shade. Since she turned six months on the trip I decided to try to buy her some gerber cookies from Publix. Wow! She loved them. Thank you mom for taking us with you we had a great time!!!

Macie Laughing

Macie was in a really good mood this afternoon so I was able to catch a small video of her laughing. I used to have to work really hard to get her to laugh but now she does it all the time. I love that she is getting a personality!

Our weekly ritual

Once a week my mom watches Payton and Rhea and I bring the kids over for some fun in the sun. My mom has fun pool toys for the kids. Today we went for a walk around the neighborhood, swimming and then off to the club for some lunch. My Grandfather is in town from Illinios and really enjoyed seeing the kids. Payton was having a blast jumping to me from the deck into the pool. Macie rode in the font seat of the golf cart like a big girl for the first time by herself. We missed you today Rhea and Jayden!! Just as always we had another great day at grandma's house.
