Some catch up

SO now that I'm on a blogging kick, I thought I'd throw a few updates in... I mentioned in an earlier post that Maci had a sleep over with her friend Tristian. Well they have been great friends for a long time, until now.... Maci now says that Tristian is her boyfriend! I'm so doomed with this kid. I walked in on her asking him "Come on Tristian, just one little kiss"! Apparently they have kissed quite a few times! I guess them taking a bath together is no longer going to happen... My dad told her that she IS NOT allowed to kiss Tristian because he is to old for her and she told him - no he's not papa, him only 4! She's not even shy about any of this!

On a brighter note (I have to have a bragging mama moment), Maci's teacher wants her to start kindergarten a year early so I guess she will be starting kindergarten next year! It's so hard to believe that my little baby really isn't a little baby anymore. She has her first spelling test on 12/2. She knows how to do addition and subtraction and is starting to learn to read. It's so amazing how fast she learns and how much she loves school. Thank God she didn't take after me on that one!

Ok, my bragging moment is over for now! Thanks for listening!

Thanksgiving 2010

For Thanksgiving we went to Durango to my Aunt's house to have dinner with my family. We had such a great time visiting with everyone. So much fun that I forgot that I had a camera there for most of the day... (what's new right???) Anyway, thankfully Maci was feeling better so we could spend time with everyone. Maci had a blast playing with her cousins Shaylee and Taylor (too bad I didn't get any pictures of them together) The girls' talked Maci into pretending that she was the mama and they were the kids, which Maci loved so she could be her normal bossy self!

This year I had so many things to be thankful for, but this is the thing I am most thankful for in the entire world:

I hope that everyone had a great Thanksgiving and have as many blessings as Maci and I do!

Snow... booooo...

Maci was home sick from school on Wednesday when it snowed and she BEGGED to go out and play in it for a few minutes. Obviously I let her dress herself... this is her getting ready for her big adventure...
Maci trying to hit me with a snow ball! Little brat I had to run from her the whole time she was out there!

Trying to catch snow in her mouth

I asked her to smile for me, but she was making a snow ball to hit me with again while I was distracted...

As much as I HATE snow, it is fun when you have a little one to play with in it!

Happy Halloween... a little late (like usual)

So once I'm again I'm a little late on my posts, but you know what they say - better late than never! That is the motto I'm going to live by these day!

I'm a little backwards on these photos, but... after trick or treating we had to stop by and see Brady! We were too late to see him in his costume, but Maci always enjoys seeing one of her favorite cousins!

This was the gang of trick or treaters that we tagged along with! Thank God for Kayla, because Maci was terrified to go to any ones door. I had to go with her to the first 5 or so houses until she got the hang of it and then she finally would go with the other kids!

Once she realized that everyone was giving her tons of candy - she loved it!

After trick or treating we went to a Halloween carnival at a local church. Maci ate a million bags of cotton candy and played tons of games, here she's playing ring toss for yet ANOTHER piece of candy!~

Maci's school had a Halloween party too. Her costume was suppose to be a fairy princess, but she refused to wear the wings or use the wand so I guess she was just a princess. She didn't even want to wear the crown trick or treating! I could have just put her in one of her old princess dresses for free, but...
