"Rolled Away"

This is my little Macie girl and I on Easter Sunday. :) We tried to doll all up and look our best. I will try to post a closer up picture of her in her dress later. She's just so fun to dress and frill up. I think Macie enjoyed her very FIRST Easter. :)

I just had to post this picture. Macie was originally on the blanket. She's taken to rolling all over the place these days. Once she rolled off the blanket, Ty went and sat behind her to play with her. So I grabbed the camera as fast as I could and snapped a few pics.

REALLY funny happening: When we're at church, we sit Ty on the pew with us mostly and lay a blanket on the floor and let Macie play. This routine has worked for many a service now UNTIL this past Wednesday night when I realized something had gone amuck. When I glanced down to check on Macie, she was no longer on the blanket. She was NO-WHERE for that matter of fact. She had taken off rolling and was already at the feet of the people sitting in the pew behind us who we could now here chuckling. (along with several other viewers watching our family charade)

I literally had to get down and reach as far back as my arms would allow to grab her arm and leg and drag her back into our "family pew zone." Obviously, she felt it was perfectly alright to go a-visiting considering as soon as I put her back in her spot on the blanket she took off again and with three swift rolls had landed right at their feet once again.

At this point, I could her very audible snickering, thus I thought it best to drag her back up and sit her in my lap for the remainder of the service. I think Macie and I are going to have to have a little talk about rolling under pews during church services. (lol)

Thought I would add this pic of the Easter jacket mom bought for Macie to wear. Isn't it adorable?

*Thanks to Karen for the idea of the title to this post!*

***Coming soon...BIG THANKS to Jodi for making an ADORABLE wreath for our bedroom! She's such a sweetie!!! I LOVE IT!

Wordless Wednesday...

Ty and Daddy.

Walkers, Helmets, Teeth, & Wills...

This just so happens to be my favorite outfit for Macie. It's just a crazy-funky little outfit, but I love it on her. The color quality of the picture is awful. Her green shirt is a little more fresh grass green than what it looks like.

New news with Macie...WE OFFICIALLY HAVE A FIRST TOOTH!!! Macie cut her brand new tooth (bottom front-right) this past Sunday. She is in the process of cutting more...fun fun for us. She's having a hard time with it so it's lots of tylenol and orajel for our household for a while.

I love my sister THIS much! The "together" pictures seem to be getting better. I'm excited.

Ryan's 27th birthday was this past Monday so HAPPY BIRTHDAY RYAN!!!

Isn't this just TOO funny? This was Macie's first day in her walker so Ty thought she needed a helmet. He gladly shared his.

My favorite word he says right now is "pock." (translated - pocket)

Pray for us. We've almost hit the terrible two's. I didn't actually think they were going to affect us, but they have. We are currently undergoing a battle of the wills daily in our household.

Donna voted my blog the E for Excellent award! Thanks Donna.

Morgan is having a give-away at her blog. Go check it out and mention that I sent you there and I will get an extra entry. =)

I have more to post, but I can't think right now. My brain is on low running speed right now. NEED SLEEP! More later.

When the weather outside is frightful...go out and play!

So, while Macie was sleeping, we (Ryan, me, and Ty) went outside and played like crazy in the snow on Saturday. What a blast!!!

Ty is covered from head to toe...the only thing you could see were his eyes. :)

He didn't have any "official" snow clothes so we LAYERED him up and headed outside for some wintery fun.

Dangerous, yet fun...we tied the sled to the back of the 4-wheeler (back far enough where the slush from the tires wouldn't hit you in the face and safe enough behind to keep some distance between the sled passengers and the 4-wheeler)

THEN...we took turns riding Ty around on the sled. We had a blast!

He loved the snow. Sorry about the picture quality. There's no editing program at school and it won't allow me to download one on my computer so I just had to post the raw photos.

It was a good thing that we hurried though...because by Saturday afternoon the snow was completely gone.

Snips and Snails and Ponytails...

This is my effort to get a picture of Macie and her FIRST ponytail. Enjoy.




What a mom goes through huh?!~

I'm sorry guys

I've been meaning to bring my camera to work and upload my oodles of pictures and make a new post on my break, but I keep forgetting my camera at home.

I'm so sorry! I will try for tomorrow!!!

Pray for me, Ryan, and the kids. Ryan started shift work last night. We're all adjusting, but it went fine last night. I missed Ryan being home like crazy, but I LOVE his notes that he left all over the house!!! What a sweetie!

I can't wait to post pictures of Ty from last weekend and Macie on Sunday...I really am going to try to post them SOON.

Skinny Clothes...

It's official...I made myself late for work this morning because I was so excited about being able to fit back into my skinny clothes!!!

I had an urge to try some on just in case...(pointless to try them on because they're ALL summer clothes and it's NOT summer yet, but still couldn't help myself) AND THEY FIT AGAIN!!!! YAY!~

I've been updating my weight ticker at the bottom of the page if you want to keep track. I'm so excited.

Pictures and stories are coming SOON!!!
