Jaydie got into the markers again! She is an artist and can't be restricted to paper, in fact she will rarely use it unless forced to. She has colored on everything and everyone except the baby. Thank goodness for washable marker!

Baby Macey





She is so much fun! She is really such a good baby. She only cries when she is tired or hungry. Otherwise she is pretty content, especially if she can snuggle her mommy or her grandma. She scares her Daddy and her grandpa a bit. They don't like crying... I kinda think it's cute. Her sisters still love her to death and maul her constantly. I wanted to post her blessing pics but my sister Kelli was the photographer and I haven't received them from her yet. So hopefully they will get posted soon.

What a Birthday!

Well I just celebrated my 31st birthday. It's kinda hard to say that out loud though. 31 seems old but I still feel like a teenager. Sometimes when my kids call me mom I have a wierd moment and think I can't believe I am the mom.
Anyway, enough rambling... My birthday which actually ends up stretching to a birthweek due to celebrating at my parent's house and Derek's parent's house and a celebration with just our family and one with just derek and me. (I know I am a princess) I am not sure a week is long enough :) My mom made me an awesome dinner of baby back ribs! On my real birthday Derek made me breakfast in bed and the girls gave me a cute shirt from hollister. Derek also decorated the house with balloons and streamers and took me to lunch at PeiWei. Then we went to Tai Pan Trading and I picked out a gorgeous painting for my family room. (My parents and Derek's parents gave me money for my birthday to help pay for the painting, Derek covered the rest). It was a wonderful day! On Saturday Derek and I went with some friends to Ahh Sushi for a birthday dinner it was awesome! Hey a girl has to milk the celebrating for all it's worth!
