Home Life

The last 12 days have been ...... everything! Good, bad, worse, wonderful, amazing, sleepless, and completely perfect!!!

Being a mother to TWO is a whole different ball game (and i'm sure each time a new one comes along it is like that)

Lydia is such a sweet little thing. So fun to snuggle with.

Here she is the night we got home all ready for bed.

I have a very similar picture of Maycee at the same age. My next blog post is going to be comparisons of the two girls.... be expecting it.

Most of the time its like this...... Happy

and other times like this....

Here is the little one that is taking over all of our lives...

So innocent!

Here is Aunt Ruth on one of here "visit's"

She is very fun to sleep with if you can't tell!

I was working in the kitchen the other day and looked up and saw this. I wanted to cry. It was just so beautiful. My house was clean. (Thanx mom) My girls were happy and content. The sun was shinning in through the the windows. It was just a special moment! I couldn't be a more blessed mother, wife, or women!

Maycee has been adjusting pretty well I think. She loves her little sitter so much and wants to show it all the time.

We have been getting the garden ready for spring planting. Maycee like to use the shovel.

Lydia's first adventure outside. It only lasted a few minutes.

The next day we did go on a trip to the park to feed the ducks some bread (wink wink mom Brimhall)

Maycee rode in the back and Lydia in the front. Only at the park though. I actually drove Lydia and myself there. Blake biked with Maycee.

Maycee loves to play on the toys!

I have tried to take a picture of her everyday. They change so fast! I think the camera added so weight to those cheeks. I don't think they are quite that big in real life.... maybe.

Maycee has been loving these lately.

Blake has been looking very forward for Lydia to come. Of coarse just because he was excited for a new little one but also because he knew that him and Maycee were going to become new best buds. And Boy has she!!! Maycee has always been a ma ma's girl, but as of lately she has really REALLY been enjoying her time with Blake.

BLAKE HAS BEEN LOVING IT!!!

One of there favorite things lately is to go outside, night or day, and lay on this blanket and see what there is to see..... birds, planes, stars, everything. And Maycee comes in and tells me all about it. They sure have a blast together.

This little girl is really growing up! I love this picture!

Her hair is not done and her shoes are not on but look at that face! She is Beautiful! It is so fun to watch her develop her own little personality. And she is getting so smart! I wish I could tell all of the stories about her....

Grandma Kimmy bought her the dress she has one and one for Lydia to match...

Still working on getting them a picture together in the dresses. It'll come.

She also bought these dresses...

Notice her hair.... I curled it. She looks like Goldy Locks!

Here it is in the back...

This is not a mug shot. I was just trying to get a picture of the hair and you can see she was not to thrilled about it.

This is Maycee's favorite thing to do lately.... She loves to get the mail. We check it several time a day. Its nice to get out :)

Look at this! Can you believe that she holds a pencil like this? Thats something you learn when you are in kindergarten..... isn't it???

She is growing up to fast. I had a moment the other day, while eating breakfast. I realized she is never again going to be the little girl that I remember. I started crying. I love watching her grow up but it kills me almost to let her!

I hope I can remember these special moments forever and enjoy every little bit of it!

Love you both so much!!!
