Sunni

She made it! Sunni Rose was born August 25. She weighed 6lbs 13oz and was 20". She's healthy and we could not be happier with our new little girl. Alli and Macie love their new little sister and fight over who gets to hold her. More pictures to come!

Macie Moo is TWO!

8.3.2009

8.3.2010This crazy little girl is 2! Macie Marie came to our family 11:33am August 3, 2009. Macie was such a good baby! Slept and ate well, and was content to lounging in her chair where her sister insisted she always be. Around 18 months old I think we realized we are going to have our hands full.
Some things Macie loves: CHOCOLATE, candy, popsicles, babies, dress ups, make up, nail polish, toothbrushes, dogs, animals, dolls, Grandma Deanna's Pepsi, goldfish crackers, fruit snacks, driving cars (yes, real cars. Especially Uncle JD's car), bikes, the underrated animated film The Chipmunk Adventure, her blanket "Bebin" (named it herself), and sucking her thumb.

We used to think Macie would be the quiet one since Alli is quite loud and independent, but turns out Macie is even louder and more independent. She loves to do things herself. "Maymin do it!" Is what she always says. For some reason she calls herself "Maymin." She can say Macie, but is sticking with Maymin. It has a nice ring to it...

She loves playing with her sister, but playtime turns ugly awful fast. And usually results in hair-pulling, wrestling, hitting, and/or biting. Feel free to call me to set up a play date ;) Fortunately, she loves babies and I think with #3 just 4 weeks away, she'll do great with her new baby sister. She always asks to "pet" stranger's babies at the store and church.

We sure love this little stink bug and are grateful everyday that she's ours!

Macie had to sneak in one last kiss

Last month we said good bye to this kid. He left for 2 years to teach the people of Uganda. It's hard to believe he's of age to do so. It seems like just yesterday he was the little kid lip syncing in our basement to Bon Jovi. We are so proud of him! And are grateful for his example.

It's been a long time since I've gotten the girls gussied up and taken some pictures. It wasn't easy, but I got a few. And if you're wondering why there isn't any of Macie smiling to the camera, continue reading the bottom.




From the time Alli was born, I took pictures of her regularly. Every month she had some new pics up until she was about 20 months, then Macie came. Poor Macie has about 1/5 of what she has. So I am picking up my game.
I attempted to take their pictures a couple of days ago. No bueno. I got a couple good ones of Alli, but Macie doesn't even know how to smile for the camera. Seriously. She's such a smilely little girl too. I have only myself to blame. Enjoy the "bloopers", I do. The second is my favorite.

Results are in!

Our internet has been slow and our scanner isn't working so there won't be any pics with the post. So it seems most everyone was right... we're still seeing pink! We're having another girl! I think Jeff jinxed us when he finally said last night that he thought it was a boy. We excited to have another sweet girl. Hopefully she's a good baby like the others :)
She was pretty mellow during the ultrasound, but after some proding we got a look. And I knew immediately, a sight I have seen two previous times. Everything looked good, it was just a gender check, so they didn't do any measurements or anything. She did say the baby is about nine inches now and half a pound. Now on to names! Please share some ideas!

Boy or Girl?

We find out tomorrow if we are having a boy or a girl. I'd day the majority of family and friends think it's a girl. Which would be great because we have EVERYTHING girly/pink etc. However, the thought of having a senior, junior and freshman in high school, is a nightmare! We'd like to have a boy to balance out our family, but really nothing would be better than a healthy baby! I, personally haven't thought much about it because I thought Alli and Macie were both boys. so I guess I don't really see the point in guessing since I apparently have no motherly instinct. And since we haven't talked much about the gender, we haven't talked about any names. I guess we we've been waiting to see what it is. So what do you think I'm having? I'll hopefully be able to post pics tomorrow!
