FuN iN tHe Sun...

A couple weeks ago Reed had to work out of town for about a week, and can I just say that I am SO glad I am not a single mother:) I am such a baby, and I just hate when he leaves because I have to stay by myself at night. I come from a family of 11 kids, so growing up I was never home alone. But even more than I hate being scared at night, I missed my hubby:) In a way I am glad he left for a while so I could be reminded of just how much I love him and need him with me in my life. Last week he got home early on Friday so we decided to go to the ZOO, but it was already closed. So, we decided feeding the ducks was the next best thing...

I thought Macie would be so excited to see all the ducks and geese around us because she loves to see our friends' and family's pets. But.....she was way more interested in the bread! She didn't even care about any of the birds at all, but I think she ate three whole slices of bread!

On the Saturday of Memorial Day weekend we went on a four-wheeler ride at the sand dunes with Grandpa Jody and Troy! Grandma wasn't there so Macie got to take her spot in the side by side. We strapped her car seat in and she was a really good sport about wearing the helmet her grandparents got her:)

All strapped in and ready to go...

Doesn't she look like a little bobble-head doll? But a cute one, of course:)

It was a really fun ride and Macie did great the whole time. We also went on a different ride on Memorial day and she loved that one too. I guess Reed might get his wish and have his daughter love motorcycles! This picture is really disgusting, but I thought it was funny. I didn't even know I was dirty until I saw Troy and Reed!

Macie also still LOVES the water! We went swimming this weekend with some friends and she was so happy to be in the pool. It's so nice to have such an easy-going little girl.

The other day I left the room for a second and when I came back in I found Macie on top of the step by our window. Now that she's figured out how to climb up there she won't stop doing it! She is also learning how to stand up on her own. She gets so excited when she sees she's not holding onto something that she starts to laugh and loses her balance. It's so CUTE! I can't believe how old she is getting! Today I put her hair in pig tails and she looked SO grown up. She brings us so much happiness, and we love her to death!

Like Daddy like daughter...

I think Macie has seen you lick your plate clean one too many times babe :)

For Daddy...

We love you!

The Last Couple Weeks...

I've been meaning to post some of this stuff for over week, so now I am finally getting around to it. Last weekend we went to Utah for our newest niece's baby blessing. She is a precious little thing and we are glad that we could be there for that. Thanks Mandy and Mark for having us. On the way down to West Jordan we stopped in Salt Lake to walk around Temple Square for a little while...

Macie and I were so ready to get out of that car! And she LOVED being outside for the little while that it wasn't raining...Perfect timing.

Macie with her Daddy.

I didn't remember how many fountains they have there. Macie got so excited at every one, but especially at this one:)

The weekend before last we went down to Salt Lake (yes, two weeks in a row) for the Supercross races. We were able to stop and see my sister Mandy and her family for a while, then met up with the Johnsons for dinner and the races. We had a lot of fun, especially Reed. I think he was smiling the entire time:) Macie was again a trooper and actually enjoyed herself until she fell asleep in the Main Event. She would get so excited when all the riders would rev their engines just before the races began. I think it rained all day long until just before the supercross started. Reed thinks it was Divine intervention;) I was just happy I didn't have to spend all night in the car with Macie.

I told you he was happy.

It was still a little cold after dark. That is the reason for the snowsuit. We decided that it was probably better that it was cold and wet that day because I think all of the girls we saw there were fully dressed, NICE.

Me and sleeping Macie, & Kyle and Katie.

Here are just a few pictures I thought were cute of our little girl at home...

She loves to sit at the door and look outside. She also LOVES to get the shoes that are by the door. But mostly when her dad's big dirty work boots are there, those are her FAVORITE!

I always feel bad when this happens.

Reed and Macie watching a show together.

I just though this was cute because she kept touching his face...Melted his little heart:)
