Our Favorite Vacation.... Lagoon! 2012

Hannah loved the bumper cars. She rode them 6 times in a row.

Genevie, Andrew, Camden and Addy loved riding on the Tidal Wave.

Madi, Aubrey and Hannah loved it as well. Hannah is so brave.
Her favorite ride is the roller coaster called Bombora.
 It is fast for a 4 yers old. I am impressed with her.

Macy was so over Lagoon by about 4 o'clock.
We didn't leave until 11 o'clock. It was a long day for her.
Too long actually.

Hannah rode some of the kiddie rides but she loved the bigger kid rides.

Hannah and Halle were so cute on the tug boats.

This picture of Benj and Macy says it all.
Both of their facial expressions are so true to how most of the day went.

Before Lagoon we went to Trafalga with Matt and Shalana.

We stayed at the Hampton Inn in Lehi.

The kids love to swim in the pool and have their hot breakfast. 

Macy wasn't too sure about the cold pool water. The hot tub was ok.

School Has Started! Yeah!!!! 2012



Madison is in the 6th grade. That means this is her first year of MIDDLE SCHOOL! This is a BIG deal!

She was definitely nervous to be a Sixlet. That's was they are called by the 7th and 8th graders.

Her best friend Kristen is by her side. They did great on the first day!

Madi's favorite thing about middle school so far is the freedom and the lunch choices.
Her least favorite is changing during P.E. class.



 Camden is in 3rd grade. His teacher is Mrs. Adams. So far so good. He seems to be enjoying his classroom and teacher. His friend Jaxson Williams is in his class.



Hannah's first day of Preschool at Mother Goose. She goes to school on Monday, Wednesday and Friday.
She loves her teacher Ms. Cori.
She goes to school with Mikayla Crook and Tavin Williams.





This was not the best photo of everyone but atleast we got one.



I love this picture of Hannah. She looks like she is on cloud nine because Cam has his arm around her.

Macy's 9 month rundown!

Macy Macer... as we call her is 9 months old in these pictures. She is so adorable! We all just love her to death. I'm not gunna lie she is a bit high maintenance as I'm sure you have heard me call her, but lately she has gotten better. Ever since she has been able to sit up she has been a much happier baby. She hasn't tried to start crawling yet but I don't expect her to for another month or so. All of my kids have followed the same curve. They all rolled over at 5 months, sat up at 6 months, crawled at 10 months and walked at 15 months. I'm in no hurry for her to walk or crawl. 

Lately Macy is happy just sitting on the floor playing with toys. She is so funny because I can usually get a smile out of her no matter what her mood is. She loves it when the kids play with her. Her favorite is to play peek-a-boo. Actually she just likes it when the kids yell Boo in her face.

Macy spends a lot of time on the counter while I cook or clean. Today she has a lemon in her hand and is sucking on it. Oddly enough she really liked it. Don't worry, she usually sits in her bumbo so she won't fall off the counter. This smile from Macy is her signature smile. She rarely ever smiles with her mouth closed.

Macy's 7 and 8 Month Update

Hmmm... I always seem to be a bit behind on all my posts. Oh well, it just wouldn't be me if that changed.

 

Macy has finally graduated to a bathtub booster. She loves it. (7 months) 

On our way home from our last trip to Boise I gave Macy a piece of wrapped chocolate to hold to keep her entertained until we got home. I didn't think she would be able to unwrap it. She probably smelled to chocolate through the wrapper and knew automatically what to do. She is afterall my daughter. Mmmm! Chocolate! This is what I found when I went to get her out of the van. It was dark on our drive home so none of the kids in the back realized what she was doing. Now that I think about it she was quiet for quite a while. As you can see she loved it! (7 months)

8 Months Old

There are so many sweet things I love about Macy, but 2 of them are... smiles with her mouth open all the time and sticks her tongue out all the time. 

Macy's 6 month update

I just LOVE this little girl's smile! When I feel like I've had enough... she will smile and make it all better, at least better for a moment. Macy is 6 months old in this picture. She can sit up for a few moments but is still working on it. She has zero teeth but hopefully they will be popping through any day. She loves to eat green beans, kidney beans, and bread. She can roll to her tummy and back over but doesn't enjoy it much. She sleeps very well at night but doesn't like to take naps during the day. She hated her binki for the first 8 weeks of her life but now would not be able to fall asleep without it. She loves to hold anything in her hands. She grabs at everything that comes close to her.
And of course for her 6 month birthday we got her an IPOD. :) It would only be fitting considering how old kids are these days when they get one. My kids are 10, 8 and 4 and they feel deprived because they don't have one. PATHETIC!


I love this Bumbo! What would I do without it?! The Easter bunny came early to our house. Hannah has been playing with all the easter eggs for the past 2 days. Filling them with old parade candy and hiding them for everyone else to find.

These are just some fun/funny pictures I took of Hannah the other day. Hannah is the BEST big sister. She loves Macy so much. She is a great helper. I love you Hannah!

Camden's Baptism

Look at that smile!

He was sooo excited to be getting baptized.

Camden was baptized on March 3rd, 2012 by his dad. It is difficult to get a genuine smile out of Camden. It is usually a forced smile because mom is yelling at him to "smile bigger." This was the best smile from Cam in a long tome.Cam said he wanted a tuxedo to wear after he got baptized. I said a what? He said ya know, like what dad has. All black pants and jacket with a tie. He meant a suit. I thought it was cute. He got a suit but he still calls it his tuxedo. For some reason we did not get a picture with all the family members that came to the baptism. Cam wants to say thank you to Grandma and Grandpa Lines as well as to Ryan, Terri, Zach and Hunter for traveling to Pocatello to come share his special day with him. We love you guys.
You did awesome Camden. We love you!

Cute Pictures!

These are just some pictures of the girls that I thought were cute.By Hannah's request I was spinning the girls in the chair. Macy loves her tongue and sticks it out all the time. It is quite pointy.
Hannah was helping me cut potatoes for dinner and Macy was watching. Hannah is a great babysitter and helper. She is always willing to get me diapers and burp clothes. She only has one request. She will not wipe up Macy's spit up. Her little gag reflexes get moving and so does her body. She will run away ASAP!
