Summer Vacation!!

So we went on Vacation this summer with Bren's dad's family. 12 of us including 3 kids in car seats packed up in a 12 passenger van and started our journey to California!!

We drove halfway to Vegas the first day and spent sometime shopping and hanging out. Then we traveled the rest of the way to California! Bren got Blakely dressed that morning and decided to start a new fashion trend with the tag in front:)

 The next day we got up and went to Church and then headed to the beach to enjoy the rest of the afternoon. We went to Huntington Beach and had a great time. Mayz didnt like the ocean but she sure loved the sand. The boys did some boogie boarding while the girls watched and enjoyed the sunshine.

 Then it was time to go to Disneyland!!! We had talked about it so much with Mayz and she was so excited. But to our disappointment she did not love it so much. She was afraid of all the rides and did not want to meet the characters. She loved getting the princesses autographs but didn't want to get close for pictures. Stinking kid. She loved the parades because she could wave at them from a distance. Gotta love the girl. Most of us went back to the park around 10 and stayed till midnight when the park closed. We rode splash mountain 3 times in a row without even having to get off. It was great, we were soaked but had a blast!

 Our second day at Disneyland Mayz warmed up a little. But it wasn't until around 5 that we went on the Monster's Inc ride and she loved it and wanted to go again and then wanted to go ride all of the rides. So we only had a few hours to pack in as many rides as we could because we had to head back to Vegas that night. But we got a few in and she loved it so it was a sucess!!

We all slept in the next morning because we didnt get to Vegas till about 4 AM. We hung out at the pool because it was soooo hot and then headed home. It was a quick trip but we had an awesome time! Can't wait to take Mayz back to Disneyland, hopefully she wont be scared next time!!

Mayzie Update!

Well I cant believe it but my Mayzie girl is going to be 3 in a month. How did she get so big so fast?!? This girl is a ball of energy full of attitude and laughs. She is miss independent and wants to do everything by herself. She knows what she wants and is not afraid to say it. She is a goof ball and keeps me smiling all the time. She loves anything princess or disney, loves to play dress ups and have tea parties, loves to play with cousins and friends, loves her little sister, loves swimming and being outside, loves to snuggle up and watch a movie, loves to put on makeup and paint her finger nails, loves to help mom in the kitchen, and loves to play on my phone. We sure love this girl!!

Blakey Update!

Well Blakely is now 4 months old and I cannot believe it. She is such a great baby and just full of smiles. She is so easy to get a smile out of and her smile will just melt you. A few highlights- we blessed her in June, she won the strawberry days baby contest and got to ride in the parade, and went on her first vacation in July! At 4 months she loves to talk/yell, she loves to chew on her hands, she has rolled over twice, she hates tummy time, she has not lost any of that beautiful hair, she giggles and it is so sweet, she weighs 13lbs 6 oz, she usually sleeps through the night but is going through a bit of a rough patch right now, we are hoping it is a growth spurt or teething so we can get back to our normal routine, she loves Mayzie and lights up when she is around (usually), she is a bit of a momma's girl. We sure love our Blakers!!

Miss Blakely!

My cute Blakely girl is already almost 2 months old. I seriously cant even believe it. She is getting big way too fast. We sure love her. She is starting to smile and it is so adorable.

Pretty Blue Eyes!

Her most favorite past time

Pretty Girl!

Mayzie's Self Portraits:)

Mayzie figured out how to use my camera and now everytime I go through pictures on it I find tons of self portraits of Miss Mayzie. She is such a goofball. These are just a few.

All Better!!

We went to the Doctor on Tuesday and this cute gal got her cast off!! She was a little nervous and did not like the saw at all, but she was brave and everything is looking great. She still walks a little gimpy but it's getting better! So happy to have that thing off!

Her last picture with her pink cast!
All better!

Blakely also had her 2 week check up. She has already gained 1 pound and grown 2.5 inches. She is happy and healthy and doing awesome! I sure love my girls!!

Miss Blakely!!

Our sweet little Blakely was born Sunday March 25 at 5:38 am. She weighed 7lbs 1 oz and was 18.5 inchces long. She is such a sweet little baby and the greatest addition to our family. Mayzie absolutely adores her and wants to help mommy with every little task to keep Blakely happy:)

So much hair and bright beautiful eyes!

The proud daddy!!

So excited for Mayz to meet her.

Daddy and his girls!

I love my babies!!

Kisses!

This is the good life!

37 and 1/2 weeks!!

Well a little over two weeks left till this sweet little baby will be joining our family! We sure can't wait to meet her and I am anxious for other people to get the opportunity to hold her besides me all the time. I feel pretty good, ready to be done as always, but still hanging in there. So crazy to think we will be a family of 4 in no time. This pregnancy has flown by even though the last few weeks have seemed a little slow I can't believe I am almost done! Hopefully we will be meeting this little lady sooner than later but we will just have to wait and see!

Toy Story 3 on Ice!!

We took Mayz to go see Toy Story 3 on Ice last weekend. She is a bit of a Toy Story fanatic and we just couldnt resist. It was fun to see her get excited when all the characters came out. She got a little restless towards the end but I think she had a fun time on her date with mom and dad.

Cute girl all ready to head up to the show, sunglasses and all.
Daddy and Mayz sportin their killer shades!

Being silly and wearing them upside down.

Just waiting for daddy to run and get the tickets for us so we wouldnt have to walk so far!

Me and my mayzie girl!

Daddy and Mayz waiting for the show!

Some of the characters. All the costumes were awesome.

Chowin down on some ice cream. She is just like her daddy and cant get enough of it.

Trying to get a quick picture of her in front of the Jessie poster! So glad we got to take Mayz and do that, it is wierd to think that it was probably our last little family date with just the three of us. Next time we will have baby sister joining us!!

4 posts!?!?

Wow! 4 posts in one day! Something must be wrong with me! I have now filled my blogging quota for the year! Ha Ha! Enjoy!

Dress Ups!!

So today me and Mayz decided to get all dressed up and have a little tea party!

Lookin so pretty!
In our pretty princess crowns!

Gosh I just love her!

Showing me how pretty she is!

After our tea party Mayz decided she needed to try on all the rest of her pretty dress ups! She is such a girl!

So Pretty!

Beautiful!

Cheesin it!

What a poser! I love that Mayz is into the girly stuff! We all know that I am a bit of priss myself and I am glad I can do this type of stuff with her. She is just my favorite!
