Macy is the next brainchild!

She is learning so much so quick! ....becoming such a BIG girl. walking/running everywhere she goes, "talking" constantly ( mostly in her own "very intelligent" language) eating only big people food, learning concepts like crazy (i.e. in and out, etc) BUT this next example , my friends, is what truly sets her apart from the others as an "amazing brainiac genius"
Just the other day - macy and i are trying to head out the door to run some errands....this somehow almost always promotes some sort of chaos! So, I say to macy "Go get your pink sandles from your room..." A few minutes later she emerges from her room with both her pink crocs in her hands! come'on people thats pretty darn amazing!!! ...we're only 15 months old!
...when macy makes millions by reciting all the Presidents backwards here next week - we'll show all ya'll! =)

...its been FOREVER - i know!

Here are a few recent photos of MACY JOY. She is ALL over the place....and getting into everything! this is a real fun stage.
(sidenote: i'm still having drama uploading my vertical photos onto blogger-and them staying vertical.....therefore, while these photos are cute the BEST are upright.....so just use your imagination! =) she is precious.



Macy loves to play in peyton's crate AND with peyton's water bowl....we've had to change wet clothes MANY times!


I wanted to take bluebonnet pictures this year just like last year (same 'outfits' and everything) I didn't think it all the way through....last time MJ was about 3 months-this time around all she wanted to do was run around the field! Needlesstosay, our "family photos" in the bluebonnets are of scott and I smiling and Macy trying with all her might to get out of our lap!! =)


Jello anyone?


Daddy attacked macy with her hair bows and clips...it was really precious - scott and macy sat on the kitchen floor for about 20 minutes playing with bows! i couldn't believe she let him put ALL those clips in her hair!

Easter Fun!

We had a really fun Easter. Macy is really starting to walk more... she's been "walking" for a few weeks BUT not really toddlin' around until real recent ...and even that she does when she pleases - thank you very much. - she says.
the most memorable event happened on friday. my friend had told me that at Wal-mart on friday and saturday they were going to be taking free pictures with the easter bunny. i was pumped! b/c it was free - unlike the mall or other places AND i didn't know how mj would respond....and i didn't want to waste money! so, we show up (i'm expecting a line) i've already had to drag scott to just go in the store (he hates wal-mart) and we don't see anything. I talk to the manager - no bunny. they call back to the photo lab and then we're informed that its only saturday and sunday. I was confused BUT gave in thinking that i had just gotten the days confused. We're leaving "hell" as scott referes to it...and i see the huge poster on the wall saying "FREE PHOTO WITH THE EASTER BUNNY FRIDAY AND SATURDAY"......so ya'll know me. ---- gosh darnit, we're getting our picture! needlesstosay, i have to walk the photo lady up to the front to 'prove' to her i wasn't lying and show her the poster and she then tells me she's going to find someone to put on the suit. MJ, scott and i make our way back to the photo center (mind you, we've been here and hour at this point!) They 'supposidly' can't find someone to put the costume on - so naturally, i volunteer my husband! (who refuses) therefore, in my mind the only logically thing to do was to be the Easter Bunny myself! I put on the costume (don't think of where its been....) and we begin to walk down to the dairy section where the photo setup is located...
at this point random children are starting to mingle towards me....little kids are yelling and waving at me across the store...its amazing! macy is loving it - scott is dying laughing - i'm constantling moving around so kids don't form a line! finally, we just take our photo infront of the eggs b/c somehow the setup had gotten dumped (gotta love wal-mart) --- always and adventure.

Shelton's + last tuesday + church folks = VIP

lets just say that last tuesday scott and i were rubbin' elbows with the rich and famous! A guy at our church is on the board of directors for the Texas Sports Hall of Fame. He calls and tells us he as two extra tickets if we'd like to go......and we get to meet and take photos with the inductees. of course we said YES! ...i'll make the story quick --- we go to meet Mike Modano, Mia Hamm, Ray Childress, Michael Irvin, Spike Dykes, and a few others! AND Brett Hull was there to support his friend Modano (for those of you non hockey people --- brett hull is bobby hull son - both hall of fame hockey players!) a professional took our photos with all the people (and we don't have them yet) BUT here are the the photos we took with our own camera.
what fun to feel 'famous' for a night! =)

Macy is ONE!!

Scott and i took this picture of macy the day after her birthday....we're thinking she just wanted everyone to remember how old she is!? =)

to say that macy enjoyed her cake would be a HUGE understatement. she ate more than half of an eight inch cake --- and would have kept on eating if i hadn't taken it from her....BUT the really cute thing was...i took the cake away and she began to frantically sign "more" in sign language - in hopes that I'd bring it back!

thats my girl! --- if you're going to do something....go all in!

One of macy's favorite gifts was a new red wagon. These wagons are are really spruced up nowadays - with cup holders, seatbelts, a door and even storage under the seat! At her party all the babies took rides around the yard. This is macy with her cousin audrey...notice that they are both chewing on their 'victory medals' they had won earlier from the "Baby Race"

We can not believe that Macy is already one. Life without her is unimaginable.

keep checkin'

well, we do have 'internet' right now---but i've been trying for the past 3 days to post some pictures of macy's 1st birthday....and for whatever reason its not working like normal ---- BUT i'm on it. i'll try to get to the bottom of this soon.

TODAY IS A MARVELOUS DAY

I have been spending the last three or so weeks in the dark ages --- no internet! ..... I was talking to a few of my fellow Apple friends yesterday and they said " Have you tried getting a signal in your new house yet?" .....VICTORY
Scott and I are guessing that we're picking up the signal from our next door neighbor ---- but, do we even really care? WE HAVE ACCESS TO THE OUTSIDE WORLD --- and its faster than our old house! needlesstosay, tonight sometime i'll post some pictures from macy's birthday party
....mj and i are off to Library Time.
