Mothers' Day

Macy gave me the most adorable flowers that they made in nursery from the kids' handprints.  I am so blessed to be her mother.  She has brought me incredible joy.  


I am also blessed to have a wonderful mom and to be surrounded by so many amazing mothers that have taught me so much about love and mothering.  

Swimming

Macy loved swimming in St. George during our May trip and we loved that we had the pool to ourselves everyday.

This is Macy's "What's the great idea?!" face.  She was not happy when the man came to clean the pool.

Crop Circles

Macy has a new favorite character and a very nice dad (who now answers to Donald Duck or Goofy).

Easter

We had a great Easter weekend in St. George.  Since we were on vacation, I barely took any pictures.  I wish that I would have gotten some of Macy coloring eggs with Will, Max, and Claire.  It was her first time doing it. I think she cracked every egg she touched.  She would just drop them into the dye.


She loved spending the weekend with her cousins and had a little cousin crush on Max.  When we got home, she asked me to draw pictures of her and Max holding hands.


I did get a few pictures of Macy at the community Easter candy hunt that we went to in Washington.

Macy's Musings

Macy requests that I put her hair in a ponytail so she can "be a boy like Daddy and Buddy."

"Mommy, you have brown hair, I have yellow hair, and Daddy just has a head."

(With a very sincere pat on JD's back) "You're a good man!"

(After trying home frozen apple juice popsicles) "It's like a party in my mouth!"

She loves to present her ideas and then exclaim, "what a great idea!"

She loves Mickey Mouse Clubhouse.  Donald Duck often exclaims, "hey, what's the big idea?"  She now yells out, "hey, what's the great idea?"

She loves to carry around a little pocket-size Book of Mormon.  She knows the book is about Jesus.  The other day she was "reading" it to me.  "Jesus said, 'I want a sunbeam. I really need a sunbeam.'" 


"Are you ready for some fun?"

It's All Relative

Last week while talking to my sister Rebecca who lives in Southern California she commented on how it was 60 degrees there and they were freezing.  I told her JD and Macy were outside making a snowman.

In Utah, from Tuesday until Friday the temperatures were in the high 40s. We took advantage of the "warmth".

The best part is this week we will hit 60 degrees!
