Just another Andrus day

Disneyland

2011-11-16T17:21:00.000-08:00

Here are a few pictures of when we went to Disneyland back in September. We had so much fun! Maycee's favorite part was of course meeting Mickey Mouse and getting her picture with all of the characters.

Curlers

2011-07-30T20:54:00.000-07:00

I put Maycee's hair up in curlers for her to sleep in. I didn't think that she would wear them through the night let a lone sit still long enough for me to put them in, but she completely surprised me and was so excited to have this done. She woke up in the morning with all of them still in and I forgot to take a picture of the final result. I have to say that it was the cutests little fro that you have ever seen.

Out for a Ride

2011-07-13T16:45:00.000-07:00

I know that it has been a while...I guess we've been out for a ride.

New Hiding Place

2011-04-08T20:06:00.001-07:00

This is where I found Maycee hiding the other day....She told me after I found her that we were playing hide'n seek.

The Race

2011-03-11T21:31:00.000-08:00

Tyler ran in the St. George Dogtown half Marathon last week. Even though it was freezing cold and rainy, he managed to run in at 1 hour and 42 min. come in 39th out of 280 people, and number 6 in his age division. NICE JOB!

Happy Valentines Day

2011-02-16T17:15:00.000-08:00

Happy Valentines Day!

I'm Three I'm Three!!!

2011-02-11T09:23:00.001-08:00

Maycee turned THREE last month! She still tells me every day that she is bigger now because she had a birthday and turned three. Her one request was a Mickey Mouse birthday cake, and her favorite present was her new boots that she wears non-stop. (She woke me up at 5 in the morning one morning and asked if I could help her put on her boots).
HAPPY BIRTHDAY MAYCEE

Christmas

2011-01-28T09:32:00.000-08:00

Since Maycee broke my camera, we didn't get a lot of pictures of Christmas. We were also so caught up in opening presents on Christmas I think we just forgot to stop and take some pictures.

Santa!

2010-12-21T16:13:00.000-08:00

Poor girl. This was our second attempt to sit on Santa's lap. (The first time Maycee screamed so loud before I even got her to Santa's lap, that Santa himself sent us on our way.) We went back a week later...I picked the picture that most resembled somewhat of a smile. Maycee got off his lap, and after catching her breath told me that maybe next year she wouldn't be so scared. We'll see.

Let it snow

2010-12-21T15:58:00.000-08:00

I wanted to get some pictures of Maycee out in the Snow while we were up north last month, but Maycee ended up breaking my camera so they turned out not so great. They were still pretty cute so I thought that I'd post them anyway.

HALLOWEEN

2010-11-07T20:01:00.001-08:00

This year was an interesting Halloween. I was so excited to take Maycee to the Pumpkin Patch and let her pick out her own pumpkin. I don't think it could have gotten any more dissappointing. On the drive there she fell asleep and did not want to be woken up. We walked her around the pumpkin patch where she could have cared less, and managed to capture a few pictures before she burst into tears and wanted to leave.
I kept asking Maycee what she wanted to be for Halloween and she didn't know...so I found this cute Super Girl costume to dress her up in. She was SOOOO excited until we actually got home and had her try it on. The tears did not stop coming, and continued everytime I brought the costume out or even mentioned the thought of putting it back on to go Trick or Treating in. The night of our trunk or treat was full of tears until we actually started to get candy and then everything was fine. The minute we got back in to the car though, she made it clear that super girl had to go. We wern't even able to get pictures until a few days later where I was able to bribe her with some candy if she would put on the costume for just a few minutes. After her pictures she told me that she looked pretty and wanted to stay dressed up for a little bit longer. Ofcourse she did.

SAN DIEGO!!

2010-10-07T19:06:00.000-07:00

We went to San Diego back in September and had so much fun! We stayed in a condo that was just a few steps from the beach so we were able to spend lots of time walking and gathering seashells, building sand castles, and watch the surfers (and dolfins swim off the shore). We visited the Mormon Battalion in Old Town where Maycee even panned for gold, ate at Ruby's on the Pier, and made a trip to Sea World (Maycee's favorite) where she still will throw her hands in the air and yell SHAMOO SHAMOO!! and put her hand on her head like a fin to immitate a shark. We were lucky enough to have my mom come with us where Maycee loved having 24/7 attention from Grandma. We love San Diego.

Potty Talk

2010-09-23T21:35:00.001-07:00

Maycee is officially POTTY TRAINED!! She is doing so well and hasn't had an accident in her pants for a while now. Now I'm warning you that this is a post about Potty talk, and there were a few things that she has said or that have happened that were too funny to not post about them. We did have a little set back in the whole potty training process when we visited Utah and had to use a public bathroom. As soon as I sat Maycee up on the toilet a lady in the stall next to us had (how do I say it politely) extremely loud gas. So loud that it scared Maycee right off the toilet and afraid to use a big toilet again for a few days. Poor girl probably thought she might blow up too like the lady next to us. Another funny story worth mentioning is when we first starting trying to get her to use the potty. She sat down on it, tooted, stood up and looked in the potty and said "where did my toot go?" And finally today as she finished, she looked in the toilet and said "it looks like a big snake swimming all around in there...hi snake" as she bends down to wave at it. I love that I get live entertainment all day long...this girl makes me laugh!

July in a nutshell

2010-07-30T19:58:00.000-07:00

We started out July with the Summerlin Parade. (It was a dud, but we still had fun people watching) We headed to Utah the next day and then finished celebrating the 4th visiting Wheeler Farm, having a BBQ, and going to a baseball game complete with fireworks. We ran and ran until Maycee was completely exhausted. (She absolutely LOVED the fireworks and didn't take her eyes off of them) Then it was off to Idaho for my family reunion at Lava Hot Springs. We swam, played with cousins, tubed down the river... flipped upside down in the river...bandaged our wounds from the river, played games and had fun. We returned to Salt Lake and played for a few more days where we went to the Farmers Market, and of course the fountains at the Gateway. We returned home just long enough to do a little wash and head back to Utah for the Andrus reunion up Beaver Canyon. We camped a few days, danced, made some crafts, and sat by the fire to roast GIANT marshmellows. We rushed back to Las Vegas for a wedding, and returned back to St. George to pick up Maycee (I have never missed her so much, I hardly knew what to do with myself without her here.) Awe.. What a (GREAT) month:)

Gone Domestic

2010-07-02T19:17:00.000-07:00

I've been working on making a dress for Maycee for a while now. (The idea has been in my head for over a year now, it's just taken a while to actually sit myself down and do it.) I finally finished it and made Maycee pose for a few pictures of my ending result.

What a pose

2010-05-28T23:06:00.000-07:00

While we were visiting up in Salt Lake, we went to Hill Airforce base to look around. This pose was all Maycee, we took the camera out to get a picture and this is what she did.

Better late than never

2010-05-19T15:20:00.000-07:00

Here are a few pictures from Easter that I just havn't posted yet.

Lake Havisu

2010-04-16T22:00:00.001-07:00

We wanted to go somewhere fun for Tyler's Birthday this year but hadn't planned on where we wanted to go. At the last minute we decided that we would try out Lake Havisu. We had heard that it could get a little crazy down there aound Spring Break, and were hoping that we would have missed all of the crazy college spring breakers. Luckily by the time we got there most of them had left and there was just families left enjoying the 85 degree sunshine. We swam in the pool, enjoyed the hot tub, rented a paddle boat, and played on the beach. Good times.

Matching Toenails

2010-04-07T15:03:00.001-07:00

Maycee let me paint her toenails for the first time the other day. (There has been other attempts, but the paint has always ended up everywhere else but her toenails.) She was so excited to have painted toenails like Mommy's and sat completely still while I was painting them, and while they dryed. (I don't think that she has ever sat that still for that amount of time) The whole week after she kept taking her shoes off and saying "Pretty" as she pointed at her pink toenails. Girls are so much fun:)

NO MORE BINKY!!

2010-03-22T09:04:00.000-07:00

Maycee has been binky free for two whole weeks now! She has done amazingly well ( I think that I must have been more attatched to them than she was.) We wanted to be rid of them by the time she was two, but I just couldn't bare the thought of fighting her at night to go to sleep without them. When she got a sore above her lip (again) from the darn binky we thought it was a perfect time to tell her that her binky was "bad" because it hurt her and needed to be thrown away. To my surprise she fell asleep even faster than she did when she had it. Who would have known:)
These first two pictures are of her sitting in her big girl bed that she still won't sleep in. It comes in more handy as a trampoline.

WooHoo I'm 2!!!

2010-02-03T21:18:00.000-08:00

Maycee celebrated her 2nd Birthday with a Circus party with all of her cousins up in Utah. It was a lot of fun with the piniata(?), pin the nose on the clown, and a special magic show performed by her Uncle Scott. I can't believe that my little girl is TWO!!

Christmas Picture

2010-01-12T13:44:00.001-08:00

Every year I tell myself that I am going to send out a Christmas card...atleast this year I got the picture for it taken. So if you are reading this, consider this our Christmas card to you:)

Visit to Santa

2009-12-14T12:47:00.000-08:00

We took Maycee to go see Santa this past week. She was so excited and could hardly wait her turn in line. I kept asking her if she wanted to sit on his lap and she kept telling me yes. Apparently she changed her mind.

HALLOWEEN

2009-11-04T10:28:00.001-08:00

Maycee was a little devil this year for Halloween. Most people thought that she was little red riding hood because she didn't want to keep the hood on her head, but she did love to wear the cape and spin in circles. We went to our wards trunk-r-treat the night before and Maycee had a ball running from car to car to get her candy. On Halloween we made it up our street running and carried down the next before she was too tired to go on. It was so fun to see how excited she was to go trick-r-treating.

We went up to Salt Lake for a few days, and while we were there my mom had a Halloween party for all of the grandkids. Maycee dressed up as a cow girl.

Happy Anniversary

2009-10-20T12:41:00.000-07:00

Tyler surprised me this year for our Anniversary. He had his mom come and stay with Maycee for the night while we went to dinner at the Cheesecake Factory and then up to the Ritz Carlton at beautiful Lake Las Vegas. This was the first time that we had ever left Maycee for the night, and she did really well. It was so nice walking by the lake at night with it all lit up, relaxing by the pool, and then getting up and eating breakfast by the lake. Oh and I can't forget eating the best carameled apple we've ever had! It was so romantic and so much fun, and couldn't have ended better than coming home to our smiling Maycee.

A little too quiet

2009-10-04T15:38:00.000-07:00

The other day I was trying to hurry and finish getting ready...I noticed that it had gotten a little too quiet and went to see what Maycee was up to. Of course, she was getting ready too:) She had decided that she didn't like the shirt I had already dressed her in, and had taken that off. She then managed to climb on the toilet to help her up on the sink, find my makeup and put it on all by herself. I do have to give her credit of getting the eye shadow mostly around her eye. The last picture is because she wasn't quite done putting it on before I found her and had to take it away.

Nursery

2009-09-29T14:05:00.000-07:00

Maycee started nursery back at the end of July. To sum it all up, she hates it:) We have been in and out of town so much lately that I don't think she has had enough consistancy to know that it really is a fun place to go. It's gotten so bad that the crying now starts when we get within five feet of the nursery door, and she clings on to me for dear life. These pictures are after she finished a traumatic first day there. By the looks of things I think she was happy to be back home.

Water Water Everywhere

2009-08-02T14:52:00.001-07:00

If you know Maycee at all, you know that if there is water anywhere around that's where you will find her. Here are just a few pictures of how we have been spending our summer with water.

July??

2009-07-29T13:18:00.001-07:00

I'm not sure where July went (or June for that matter) I guess it's true what they say...time flys when your having fun.
I took Maycee to the 4th of July Parade. We had fun and she liked it for the most part, but her favorite thing to do was to turn her back to the parade and clap at the people walking by on the sidewalk. Go figure. I guess we do have some interesting people here.

We decided to go to fireworks even though Maycee hadn't taken a nap that day. She was really cranky but as soon as the fireworks started she loved it.

Take a Hike

2009-07-03T13:43:00.000-07:00

I have been wanting to go hiking for a while now, so the other week on Tyler's day off we packed up my little grill and some hot dogs for a pic-nic and headed to Mt. Charlston. When we got there we found out that we couldn't roast our hotdogs because of fire restrictions (sad because I had been waiting all week to eat a roasted hotdog) but luckily we were able to buy some sandwiches at the lodge. I had looked up some hikes before we left and decided on one of the easier ones since we don't have a backpack to carry Maycee in yet. Maycee wanted to hike all by herself, but we decided that if we were going to ever finish the hike we couldn't let her do much of that.We took turns lugging her up the mountain and decided that either the hike was harder than we thought it was going to be, or we are both more out of shape than we thought. We finally got to the top to the spectacular "waterfall" (or trickle off the rock) I don't know what I was expecting living in Vegas and all.

Cloanne

2009-06-19T10:21:00.000-07:00

Tyler's oldest sister recently passed away unexpectedly. We will miss her so much and especially the "Tia" that she was to Maycee. I am so happy to have the knowledge that we do, and know that we will be able to be with her once again. We love you Cloanne.

Picture time

2009-05-26T11:09:00.000-07:00

I set up a little homemade photo studio in my computer room the other day and decided to try and have a little photo shoot with Maycee. I've learned now that I need about ten more hands and atleast two other people to make the next time a little more successful. I took about a million pictures (thank goodness for digital cameras,) but only a few turned out since most of the time was spent trying to get Maycee to actually smile, not fall off the table, look at the camera, not fall off the table, actually hit the button to take the picture, not fall off the table, adjust the lighting, and did I mention keep her from falling off the table? all at one time. Maybe I will atleast wait until Tyler is home to help out next time. I posted a few of the many many pictures that we spent all day taking. The top one is the number one pick.

Chili

2009-05-16T10:26:00.000-07:00

We had chili for dinner one night... normally I would be the one in charge of the spoon, but Maycee is such a big girl now and wanted to do it all by herself. This was the result.

Water Day

2009-04-27T11:32:00.000-07:00

We have a great park by our house that has a little play area with water. I've been waiting for it to get a little hotter so we could take Maycee there since she loves to play in the sprinklers, and since last week it got to be about 95 degrees we thought it was the perfect time.
She had so much fun and didn't hesitate at all to run through all of the spraying water. (I'm a little embarrassed to say that I think I had just as much fun playing in it as she did.) We are going to have so much fun this summer!

Easter Weekend

2009-04-15T13:42:00.001-07:00

We had a fun Easter Weekend. On Saturday we went up to the Logandale fair with our friends Angela, Ryan and Kinzie. It ended up raining the whole time we were there, so we cut the visit a little short and ended up coming home sooner than we had hoped. Maycee did love to see all of the animals and of course my favorite the baby piglets.

After church on Sunday (and a quick nap) Maycee had a little Easter egg hunt in our back yard. At first she didn't really get what we were doing, but once she figured out that there we eggs all over the yard she had a hay day. She of course was not very interrested in getting her picture taken once she had found all the eggs.

The Easter bunny had also brought her some bubbles so we played outside with those for a while.

Pigtails

2009-04-02T11:53:00.000-07:00

Maycee's hair has gotten long enough to start putting it up in pigtails. We have had to stop using her little hair clips as much because she has figured out how to take them out now and wants to eat them. She hates getting her hair done, but once we have them in place she leaves them alone for the most part. Now if only we could get her to look at the camera.

Catch up

2009-03-11T15:05:00.000-07:00

Im not sure where February went, but I guess I'll play a little catch up with a few things that went on.
We had a great Valentines day, Tyler surpised me on Friday night and got our niece to babysit for us while he took me out to dinner and a movie...something we havn't done in over a year. It was great! Then on Saturday we had our traditional yummy strawberry crepes mmmm...
Maycee started walking, and even better for the first time in her whole 13 months started to sleep through the night!!!! What a difference that has made:)
We were able to go up to St. George to visit one weekend and then to Bountiful the next to see our niece Carlie get baptized (the first grandchild on my side) and also go to my cousins wedding.
I didn't really take any pictures for this post, guess we'll have to do better next time.

Getting so big

2009-02-04T15:42:00.000-08:00

We took Maycee in for her 1 year old well check the other day. She now weighs 18 lbs and is 27 in. long, putting her in at about the 5th percentile for about everything. She broke her first tooth just in time to eat her birthday cake, and her second one is now poking through. She loves walking along the sides of the furniture and walls, and has even taken a few steps by herself. I keep catching her lifting the toilet seat up and trying to stick her hands in the water (she already loves to do it with the dog bowl.)

HAPPY BIRTHDAY!!

2009-01-27T15:20:00.001-08:00

One day as I was picking the toys up off the floor,
I noticed a small hand print on the wall beside the door.
I knew that it was something that I'd seen most every day,
but this time when I saw it there I wanted it to stay.
Then tears welled up inside my eyes, I knew it wouldn't last
for every mother knows her children grow up way too fast.
Just then I put my chores aside and held my children tight.
I sang to them sweet lullabies and rocked into the night.
Sometimes we take for granted,all those things that seem so small
.Like one of God's great treasures...A small hand print on the wall.
~Author Unknown

Maycee turned 1 year old on Sunday! I can't believe how fast time has flown by and how big my little baby is getting. We love her more and more each day, she is truly our little miracle. Happy Birthday Maycee!

We had a little Birthday lunch with some family on Sunday. Since Maycee loves rice, we decided to have Hawaiian haystacks. She thought they were pretty good.I made Maycee a My Little Pony Cake. I think the only person who ate all of the frosting was Maycee...the rest of us couldn't handle all of the sugar.

Maycee attacked the cake! She ate it so fast that I didn't even have time to get a picture of the "before", just the after. She LOVED it and wanted every last crumb.

Christmas 2008

2009-01-16T15:00:00.001-08:00

We had a fun and busy Christmas this year. We started off with heading up to Salt Lake to visit my family for a few days. Of course the day before we were to leave, we had a freak snow storm here in Vegas that closed everything including the airport down. Luckily everything was up and running by the time we were to leave. (Except for a few minor details like not having a pilot to fly our plane, or getting stuck on the runway for three hours while they tried to figure out how to de-ice a plane with only warm water. ) We had fun being with family but had to be back for Tylers work. We waited for Tyler to get home from work on Christmas before we opened presents. Maycee was so cute opening her presents, although it was mostly the paper that she was most excited about. Then it was off to St. George to be with Tylers family for a few days. While we were there we also celebrated my 27th birthday! The day after we got home, we found out that Tyler's uncle had passed away, so back off to Salt Lake we went (this time driving in a horrible snow storm.) Although it was a quick trip, it was nice to be with both families once again.

PIcture with Santa

2008-12-30T11:34:00.000-08:00

We took Maycee to get her picture with Santa while we were in Salt Lake. I totally expected her to cry since she won't really go to anyone, let alone some old guy dressed in a funny red suite. To our surprise she sat on his lap, let us get a picture and then was still all smiles for a few minutes after while she took it all in. When we took her off Santas lap, she wanted to wave at all the others who were still standing in line. What a cuttie.

10 months old

2008-12-03T12:07:00.001-08:00

Maycee turned 10 months old on the 25th. She just started to crawl a couple of weeks ago and is now a pro at it. At first she acted so offended that we were not carrying her from place to place and would cry with every little crawl that she would make. Then she figured out that she could get from one toy to another and thought that was pretty neat. Now there is no stopping her, she loves to go up the stairs to our kitchen, but wants to lunge off of them to get back down. We havn't quite mastered the coming back down part yet. She still doesn't have any teeth, but has the cutest gummy smile ever! I havn't downloaded a picture for this post but I'll get some up soon.

Laundry?

2008-11-12T16:30:00.000-08:00

The other day I had just finished folding laundry, I turned around for 2 seconds and came back to this. Maycee had rolled over to all the folded clothes and demolished my piles in a blink of an eye. She isn't very good at entertaining herself too often, so I let her go at it. Heck, I would fold clothes all the time if would keep her entertained the way it did that day.

Happy Halloween!!

2008-11-04T14:05:00.000-08:00

Maycee spent her first Halloween as a Bee. We went to our ward trunk-r-treat on Thursday night and then ordered pizza and handed out candy on Halloween.

We decided to wait until it got closer to Halloween to carve our pumpkins...little did we know that they would be rotten and moldy the day after we carved them. I guess jack o lanterns just arn't cut out for Vegas heat.

Not for the weak stomache

2008-10-29T13:56:00.001-07:00

This was the aftermath of the marathon. A few other toenails came off...but this was the most discusting of them all.

Happy Anniversary!

2008-10-28T11:10:00.001-07:00

On the 16th we celibrated our 4th anniversary! It's hard to believe that we have been married for four years, but at the same time it seems like we've known each other for a life time. What a perfect day that was. It's been an incredible four years, and I look forward to the rest of forever. I love you Tyler...Happy Anniversary.

This year we decided to celebrate our anniversary in San Francisco. We had so much fun.

Our favorite part of the trip was taking the Ferry out to Alcatraz Island. We spent an entire day out here and thought it was really fascinating.

Maycee thought this was pretty neat...(hopefully the only time she thinks that)

We ate on Fishermans Wharf, saw the sea lions, walked through China Town, went to the Farmers market (I love free samples!), took a ride on the trolly, and stuffed ourselves with a sunday at Ghiradelli Square. We walked and walked and walked all over the city, and enjoyed beautiful sunsets. What a great trip!

Costco Ride

2008-10-07T09:55:00.000-07:00

A few weeks ago I took Maycee to Costco and decided to let her ride in the cart without her carseat for the first time. She thought this was pretty neat and was happy the entire time we were there. I can't believe how big she is getting! she is now just over 8 months old and is on the verge of crawling (I think). She gets up on her hands and knees now, but just doesn't quite know what to do from there. Her favorite thing to do is to hold on to our hands and run around the living room in big circles. Tyler started doing this with her, but now I'm not so sure if it was such a good idea since we both get tired out much faster than she is ready to quit.

Utah

2008-10-03T10:35:00.000-07:00

While we were up in Utah, we decided to make a trip to the zoo. I have been wanting to take Maycee and Tyler there since it would be a first for both of them. Tyler says that we really went for me. It's probably true... I love the zoo! Mom came along with us, and we had a really fun day.
Maycee's favorite animal was the little monkeys. Mom bought her a stuffed monkey and now she holds it and talks to it all the time.

We were able to go and visit Grammy (Maycee's Great Grandma) It was so good to see her.

Top Of Utah Marathon

2008-09-26T11:22:00.000-07:00

Quite a few months ago Tyler decided

that he wanted to run a Marathon. He Thought

it would be a good goal to run the 26 miles

while he was 26 years old. So this past

weekend we flew up to Utah so he could

run in the Top of Utah Marathon. He ran with his sister

Tiffany, while Mom and I waited at the finish line.

With three black toenails that are about

to fall off now, and extremely sore muscles...

he finished the race! Way to go Tyler, we are so proud of you!!

Zions Ponderosa

2008-09-10T13:59:00.000-07:00

We had our Butler get together this past weekend up at Zions Ponderosa. My brother Scott and his wife Carynn are working up there for the Fall and were able to get us an awesome deal. (Thanks again Scott and Carynn)
We took Maycee on her first hike up to Angels Landing. Boy was that a story in itself. I forgot to pack any extra diapers and didn't realize this until we had a major blowout on the tram ride up to our hike. I didn't really know how bad it was until we reached our stop and I took her into the bathroom to see what I could do. There was no hope! By sparring you too much detail I'll just say that poop was eveywhere!! Luckily Daddy came to the rescue and donated one of his shirts that we wrappe her up in (still minus a diaper) for the 4+ hour hike. Maycee and Tyler bothe were a little damp, but we like to say that it was just sweat...right. We finished the hike and made it back down to the car to get a nice clean diaper. Ah the memories.

There were so many activities that Scott was able to hook us up with. We all did a little rock climbing including Maycee.

Here we are doing the zip-line. We even got Mom to do it (with a little push from Scott off the tower) WhooHoo... GO MOM!

Scott took us on a 4 wheeler ride up to the top of the mountain. It was really fun and had some great views.

Time to eat

Maycee just went in for her 6th month appointment (she will actually be 7 months on Monday) she weighs 13.4 lbs now and everything looks great. We have started her on rice and oatmeal along with some sweetpotatoes and pees and an occasional watermellon. Some days she loves it, and other days she just wants to blow bubbles and spit it back on me.

Our own Olympic star

So Tyler decided that he wanted to teach Maycee some tricks. I get scared to death every time he does this but Maycee seems to love it which only eggs Tyler on even more. I guess we have our own Olympic star in the making.

Say Cheese!

I took Maycee to Babies R Us the other day because they were having a huge sale and I wanted to see if there was anything good for us to buy. Some girls from Kiddie Kandids came up to us and asked if they could take some pictures of Maycee because she was so smiley and cute, they would also give me a free 5x7. If you know me, you know I LOVE freebees so we jumped on that. Maycee was all smiles until we put her down on the table to get her picture. The poor photographer did everything she could think of to get a smile out of her, but Maycee had such a serious look the entire time. Finally they blew a little air in her face and we were able to capture this. As soon as I picked her back up the smile returned.

Where has the summer gone?

I can't believe that we are already well into August. It's gone by fast, but this summer has been pretty fun. We've spent quite a bit of time swimming, and Maycee LOVES the water! She learned how to kick her feet while Mom was out here visiting and it is so cute. We have been lucky to have quite a few visits from family and that has been fun, along with a visit up to Utah to see our new nephew Ammon, and a first camping trip for both Maycee and Rambo up to Beaver mountain for the Andrus reunion. Maycee is getting more and more curious about things and is so much fun.
