new family pic and update


macie is 3 months old now and i realized i didnt have any family pictures that had her in them too so i asked my mom to get a picture for us. macie is cooing a lot now and she smiles at almost everyone. we just put her in her own room too. shes doing pretty well with the change on that. she just started liking a few toys too. macie can almost roll from her back to her stomach. i have to hold her hip so she can get over. shes starting to hold her own bottle if given the chance.
curtis is starting to read! its amazing! he can sound out several words. if they have an "e" on the end he doesn't understand those yet but thats coming soon. school has been really good for him. when he starts kindergarten in august he will be close to being ahead i think.
ari still has no motivation to use the potty. i have always been told training girls was easier than potty training boys. too bad they all didn't know ari. maybe one of these days before macie potty trains ari will too.
vaughn is still working out of town in shelly by idaho falls. its sad that hes always gone but one of these days he might be working locally again.

macies blessing day

dec 27th was macies blessing day. i wanted to do it close to christmas in hopes that family would be in town and able to be there for it. we did end up with a pretty good turn out. about 25 people at the church and closer to 20 for dinner. i didn't think we'd have enough food but it turned out ok. and macie was a very calm baby all day for it. slept threw her blessing and most of sacrament. tolerated being passed around very well.









christmas morning

christmas morning. the picture of the other 4 of us looking at the camera is the perfect picture of macie.
