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!

Macy's Big Girl Room

 This is Macy's new room almost finished.  

I love how she likes to line up her animals on the bed.  

I am still trying to decide whether to put a picture of her or an adorable "I am a child of God" print where her original painting is currently serving as a place holder.  I am also going to put up some picture ledges for some books.  We love to read and need books in every room.

All the little DIY projects and the bright colors helped me get through the dreary month of February.  I still want to add a pompom trim to the curtains, get a new light fixture and maybe tweak the colors on the M's.  

Photographing your room is a great way to get a fresh look at your room and see what could use a little change.  I think I may go through the house and photograph each room to see if it looks right.

The Egg

I have a new blog layout, thanks to my talented sister Rebecca.  My header is slightly different.  We have added a little nest with egg to represent the little baby girl we are adding to our family this July.  

We have known she is a girl for several weeks and Macy has just now decided to accept this.  As soon as I told her we could buy some tiny clothes to dress the baby she was on board.  This is also an improvement over her insistence that  I had a giraffe in my tummy.  

And what is a post without a picture?  Here is our little 1950's housewife.
