Las Vegas

We just got back from Las Vegas! We went with Matt & Staci - We had so much fun!!! We spent 3 nights at the Mirage hotel. On Thursday, we went to the Hoover Dam - that is where this picture was taken. Friday Steve and Matt played golf, while Staci and I shopped, ate at The Cheesecake Factory, and spent time out by the pool. Friday night we ate at the buffet at the Wynn hotel... we ate more Alaskan King Crab legs than we could count! But the best part was just being able to hang out with our buddies again! It was a super fun trip!

Cade's Birthday Party

Happy Birthday Cade!!

We celebrated Cade's 3rd birthday at Win Kids on Saturday. We had such a great time... I think Matt & Steve had as much fun as the kids!

Matt shows off his skills...

Macie loved sliding into the pool of foam blocks

We had so much fun hanging out with Matt & Staci this weekend! We have missed them so much since they moved to Lubbock last fall.

Easter Coloring Contest

Macie submitted her beautiful artwork in a coloring contest at the Brookshire's grocery store in Emory. The blue ribbon is not on Macie's.

I am sure that was just a mistake.

Lubbock

Macie and I went to Lubbock this weekend to visit Staci, Cade & Makynli. We had a great time!! The kids had so much fun... We took them to a fun gym with a ton of bounce houses and slides, a science museum, the park... It was great!! We even went to Spanky's near the Tech campus for the most wonderful mozzerella sticks we have ever eaten. It was a super fun weekend! And Macie did great on the plane ride there and back... only a slight meltdown when we ran out of juice. Matt flew to Dallas for the weekend to hang out with Steve. He helped Steve with the Depserados game on Saturday night, and after the game they attended a team party at the new Ghost Bar in Dallas. Definately a great weekend!

Baby Dolls

Macie loves playing with her baby dolls... She pushes them in the stroller all over the house, gives them their bottles, rocks them and sings to them...

Desperados Game 2

Tonight was the first Dallas Desperados home game of the season! The guys played great and won 59-40! The team is 2-0!! What a great way to start out the season!! Macie & her buddy Gabe (Coach McClay's son) had a great time watching the game!

18 Months

Macie is 18 months old! At her 18 month doctor appointment this morning, she weighed 19.4 lbs, and was 29 inches long.... 3rd percentile for both. When I got out my camera to take pictures of Macie, she smiled a huge smile... and said something that sounded a lot like 'cheese'. I thought, that can't be right, I have never asked her to say cheese before. She kept saying it and smiling over and over.... it was so funny!! I asked Ms. Jane if the kids played with a camera at her house, and sure enough, they do. She said the kids were always playing with her toy camera and requesting that they say 'cheese' before taking the picture.

Baby Jace

Macie had so much fun playing with her baby cousin Jace this weekend! She showed him how to do lots of fun things - like clapping!
