Just some randoms to catch up (:

I had yet another early morning surprise from Maci recently! I woke up to her covered in orange marker! Even the bottom of her feet were colored on! Good thing I only buy washable markers or we would be in trouble! She thought she looked pretty cute though!

Her legs... Even though they were washable, it was still a pain to get off! She finally just had to soak in the tub for awhile which she didn't mind at all. Come to think of it, maybe that's the reason why she does this stuff all the time (:

I thought this picture of Maci, Uncle BB & Aunt Courtney (or Auntie Cordy as Maci calls her) was cute! We had a BBQ at my house, so they were just relaxing together in the hammock!

These are Maci's newest friends at Nana & Papa's! Baby ducks and geese! They are so cute! At first they followed every one around and when they followed Maci, they scared her so she took off running away from them!

My curly haired girl! I love Maci's curly hair (she probably won't later but...) I just liked this picture of her!

That's all I've got for now, but I thought I better update them soon before Nicole gets onto me (: I do have an excuse for taking so long (this time...) my monitor went out so... I promise to be better eventually! Maybe I'll even remember to bring my camera along with us more often!

Vallecito Lake

The weekend after the 4th of July, our friend Amanda was nice enough to let us join her family at their cabin in Vallecito! We had such a nice relaxing time taking nature walks and just hanging out. The kids played their little hearts out and had such a great time, we didn't want to come home! Maci loved the spraying ball until it messed up her hair!

Amanda, Isely & Dax. This is Maci's babysitter also!

Maci with the silly glasses on! She loved those things!

Thanks Amanda for letting us crash your weekend get-away! We had a great time!

4th of July... just a little late (:

Over the 4th of July, 3 of my favorite people came to see us! Nicole, Nathan & sweet, sweet Kaylee came for the weekend! We had such a good time with them and were so happy that they drove all this way! We had our own firework show: (Nicole has much better pictures of our firework show...)

We went camping in Silverton and watched the fireworks show there. It was really cool - however I hardly used my camera so I have no pictures to post except one of BB & the babies! Kaylee was not happy with crazy BB holding her (: All the other girls loved him, but Kaylee thought he was a little scary! James was ok with it though!


We hung out at the house too and just relaxed:

Kaylee looking soooo cute, I love her little onry look:

Maci giving Kaylee kisses! Such sweet girls I swear! I'm ALMOST jealous that Nicole & Nathan are about to have two of them!

Kaylee getting ready to give Chloe kisses!

Nicole, Kaylee & Maci swinging away!

The weekend went by way too fast, but we enjoyed their company so much and are really looking forward to our next visit! Maybe when little Addison gets here (: Maci really misses them all and talks about them still almost daily! Every night in the bath tub she fills up cups of water for her "friends". Usually Nicole, Nathan, BB, Aunt Cordy, Loni or JP get there own cup of "coffee"! She says Kaylee can't have any because babies don't drink coffee! She also thinks that all babies should be named Kaylee!

Thanks to the Pruetz family for making such a long trip just to see us! We're hoping that you guys make it at least an annual thing! We miss you already!
