FriEndS...

I had to make a post about this so that Macee can remember who her friends are/were when she gets bigger. My good friend asked me to watch her kids a couple weeks ago while she went to a class and Macee is always asking me to play with "the kids" so I told her to bring them over. She loves to play but is still learning how to share HER toys. They actually got along really good that day and they were all playing in her room. It got really quiet and that can bever be a good thing so I went in to see what they were doing and {this} is what I found! They all thought they were SOOO funny and couldn't help but smile and giggle while I was trying to get a picture of them! Thanks for coming to play "S. GANG"!





Here's the "Sleeping Beauties"!





And I can't leave out my little friend "J"! He's so funny!

Macee had a little lamb... or not!

So we thought it would be fun to take Macee to see Grandpa Watsons little lambs and it was finally not raining so we went. Well little did we know that she is not so fond of the fuzzy little things unless she's a good 25 feet away from them! She didn't want them anywhere near her. Roger decided to see if he still had his mad lamb catching skills {see pictures} and tried to show them to Macee and she had an absolute meltdown! It was hilarious to say the least! As you can see there are no pictures with Macee and the lambs so maybe next year she might get a little closer... maybe!

He's closing in on them...

Almost got em'...

The end result! Look how proud!

OoPsY dAiSy...

My good friend Harmonie is starting a photography business and she took our pictures for us a couple weeks ago. She has such a good eye for it and is very creative with her shoots and how she edits her pictures! Go check out her website Oopsy Daisy Photography. Thanks again friend, I love them!

PoTtY UpDaTe...

So a little update on our potty training... Macee was completely trained as far as the pee goes after the three days! YAY!!! She pretty much tells us when she needs to go and she wakes up dry every morning! The poop has been a different story though! She is afraid to go in the toilet so she goes in her underwear! UGH! I am so happy with the progress she has made and I am so happy that it only took three days, so now hopefully we can get #2 down and we will be set! Happy Pottying!

PoTtY TrAiNiNg...

So I'm writing this so that I can hold myself accountable to everyone that reads this and for my own personal satisfaction when it actually happens I can look back at this and say that I actually did it.
Macee has really had NO interest in going potty on the "big girl pobby" as she calls it. We have tried for the last 6-9 months to get her interested in it and trying to catch her going so that we can take her to the potty, offering bribes, letting her watch me go so she can see what she is supposed to do, (which by the way, she always claps and tells me Dood Job Mommy! and gets so excited for me) She has only gone pee on the potty twice and she still doesn't want anything to do with it.
My sister-in-law found a website for a book that guarantees to have your child potty trained in 3 days and she gives one on one advice along with the purchase of her book and answers any questions that you might have along the way, even if its a year down the road. I decided to sucker into it and bought it and really like what I read and how she approaches the whole process. Its mostly common sense stuff but she gives you step by step instructions and she helps support you through the process.
We will be starting this tomorrow if I can get Roger to read the book today so he can help me but I am very excited and hope that this time it clicks with her and she can be a big girl now! Wish me Luck and lots of Patience! I will update later on our potty progress!

Better late than never...DiSnEyLaNd!!!!

Our Family. ~Disneyland 2009~

So I officially took 450 pics on our trip to California and I was going to make a slide show but it is sooooo slow that I just picked a few of my favorites for now and I will try and make one or post the rest on my facebook. We had so much fun on our trip. We left really early Sun morning and got to Cali about 2:00 pm. We decided to go to the beach since we would be at Disneyland the other days. There were soooo many people there because it was Sun. but we didn't mind and Macee LOVED the ocean. We couldn't get her to leave! She had a lot of fun trying to find seashells with her daddy. Monday we got up early and went to Disneyland! It was soo hot that day but we had a lot of water and had a ton of fun. I felt like I was pregnant again because my legs were REALLY swollen but oh well. The very first thing that Macee saw was the carousel and it was all over after that! She loves that thing and asked for the horses the whole time we were there. Any time we walked by it we had to take her and go it. It makes me sick to ride it so poor Roger got stuck taking her every time! I think they went on it at least 10 times! We went and had dinner with the Princesses on Mon. night and Macee loved it. She couldn't concentrate on eating because she was so excited to see Cinderella! She is her favorite and Roger even got his pic taken with her! We got to see Mickey 3 times and we got to see a lot of other characters too. Macees favs were the Princesses, Mickey, Minnie, Tigger and Pooh and the Playhouse Disney puppets at California Adventure. We went and rode some of the rides there and watched the Pixar Parade that was really fun and they had water and got everyone wet, it felt good since was soo hot! We spent Tues. & Wed. in the parks too and rode a lot of rides and had a lot of fun. We drove home Thur. and stopped and got to see some of our friends in St George! We got home really late but it was worth it. I don't know how much of it Macee will remember about the trip but I am going to make her a little book with all of the pics in it so that she will see how much fun we had! Hopefully we can make this a tradition and go every year!

ToOtLeS!

We will be leaving in 7 hours to the "Happiest Place On Earth"! I have a bunch of posts ready but have been busy planning and packing and getting ready for our MUCH NEEDED vacation! I will be thinking of you all when I am soaking up the rays on the sunny beaches of California in 90 degree weather! Tootles!

Oh and I couldn't resist posting this pic of my beautiful Macee in her Easter Dress! Many more to come along with Mickey Mouse!
