Monkey Joe's!!!!

Getting sleepy

Aunt Missy hanging out on the dragon. When she got up it popped up and hit me in the face... haha

Rhea, Missy and I took the kids to Monkey Joe's today. The kids had a blast! Macie was a little unsure at first but then she began to like it!. Monkey Joe's is a place filled with all of the blow up slides and bouncers. There is probably 10 different blow up things in there. There is also a small arcade section. We will definately be going back since the kids can get in for $3 on Tuesdays and Thursdays since we bought them a shirt!

Macie, Payton and Jayden scarred going down the slides!

Rhea's Birthday!

Rhea's Birthday was on Friday. We had dinner and ice cream cake at my house. We had a great night spending time together as a family. When Macie was eating dinner one of the other kids handed her a small play phone of hers. It is her new thing. Any phone she can find she holds it up to her ear and says "hi" over and over again. It is too cute! Happy Brithday Rhea! We hope you had a great day! We love you!

Our Valentines Day Trip!

Coming down the slide super fast!

Macie fell in the flowers so I had to snap a pic

Riding in the elevator

Running from boys

She couldn't Keep her hand out of the cheezit box

Taking our little nerd to dinner

Macie ran out of the room when the bellman got there with our luggage so I thought I was gonna have to chase her down the hall but when I looked out the door this is what I saw!

Opening up her gifts

Our Valentines Day began by waking up and Michael and Macie opening up a couple of valentine presents. We then finished packing up and headed off to the Gaylord Palms in Orlando. We had a blast! Macie especially had a great time! We got to the hotel checked in and then went straight out to the pool. The pool had a splash zone for kids and a slide! Macie loved it! She kept sticking her pointer finger in the water and then she would put it in her mouth to get a taste. After we wore ourselves out at the pool we went up to the room to get ready for dinner. Michael took Macie and I to Brio for dinner. After dinner we went back to the hotel and let Macie see all of the animals in the hotel (fish, alligators etc.). We then had dessert at Old Hickory Steakhouse in the hotel. We had such a great vacation together. Macie loved to ride up and down on the elevator all by herself (without holding mommy or daddys hand. She also loved just running around the hotel! Thanks Michael for taking us on such a great trip! We love you!

Macie's First Daddy Daughter Date

Michael took Macie out for Valentine's day on her first daddy daughter date. Macie didn't get a full nap in so she was a little cranky on her date. Daddy took Macie to Target to pick out a toy! Macie picked out a ball filled with water and glitter! She loves it! Then he took her to Chic Fil A and picked up some food through the drive thru. They then hung out in the car and watched baby einstein and ate their dinner. Michael then took Macie to Dairy Queen to get her a treat! When I got home from being out with some of my friends, Macie looked like she had a great time!

Grandma Audrey's and Kelly's Birthday!

Today was my grandmas birthday! We took the kids and went to the nursing home to visit with her. My mom bought a huge cake and the kids played outside in the courtyard. The kids had a blast running around with eachother. I think my grandma really enjoyed seeing the kids and having company.

Today was also my cousin Kelly's brirthday. She would have turned 22 this year. Kelly was such an amazing person. She was the most Christ like person I have ever met. I am grateful for the time that we were able to spend with her and I know that she is happier now. Kelly and I were only a couple of weeks apart in age which makes it even harder. I love her and I also love my Uncle Craig, Aunt Terri and cousin Rylan. I know that this is a hard day for them and I just wanted to let them know how much we love them and think about them.

Making Valentines and Decorating Cookies!

Macie colored her own valentines and decorated a couple of cookies for herself for valentines day! She had a blast. Macie kept taking off all of the lollipops and keeping them for herself! She knows what she wants. She especially couldn't keep her cute little finger out of the icing.

Daddy and Macie

I have been trying to get to the gym early in the morning and this is what I come home to every

morning. Daddy and Macie snuggling up in bed. Michael has always asked me to try to keep Macie out of the bed, but for some reason every time he has her she ends up in the bed too!

Babysitting

Giving Kisses

Jackson came over to the farm today like every other day to play with Cali and Capers. However, my mom had something to do tonight and wasn't gonna be home until late, so she asked me to put him in the laundry room since it was going to be so cold tonight. I went outside and saw Jackson curled up by the fence and just had to let him in. He looked like he was freezing. Macie loves this dog! He is really good to her and he even lets her go for a ride on his back. However, Michael and I are both cautious of animals around her, but she is obsessed with him. She keeps standing by the door crying to let him in the house. Macie decided to play in the laundry basket with some of her dirty clothes and this is what she did with them. She even found a dirty wet wipe to wipe mommys nose with!
