Ode to the Arrow

Jon has been so excited about IN-N-OUT coming to Orem since he drove past and saw the sign "coming soon" we were in the valley running errands and he wanted to stop by and see the progress, He can't wait until he gets to go. I have a feeling the line will be a long wait (hours!!!!!!!)



Sunday I made White Chili and it is a family favorite
Jon likes it plain with some lemon.

Avocado, Tomato, Jack Cheese, Lemons and Limes and White Chili.
There's a Party in My Tummy!
So Yummy, So Yummy!


I like it with all the toppings!


My latest addition!

Gage with Aunt Becca's sock monkey

Grammy, Papa and Becca came down for Grandpa Macey's funeral and
we decided to caravan back up to Coeur d' Alene with them.

Grammy and I had lots of projects going so we went to several fabric stores,
Gage was such a good boy!


Grammy took us to a neat little restaurant called Cafe Carambola.
This was such a good drink made from hibiscus flowers, Gage loved too!


Gage knows what he wants for Christmas! this is a huge horse at Costco.

Coeur d' Alene is always fun and I always have a hard time leaving.
I was able to accomplish a lot while I was there and had good bonding time with the family.

My New Little Swimmer

On Halloween Uncle Bob and Kjirsten came down and we decided to get in the pool and what the heck lets take Bo. We started Gager at this age and he loves the water!
Its interesting to see how the boys are so different, its not that he didn't like it, but he wanted to be held rather then bobbing in the floaty. I didnt mind, I loved holding him.
Overall, good first time! didn't want to over do it though so he only lasted about 10 minutes.

OoOoOoOo...It is Halloween





Scare Crow , Poison Ivy, and Batman out getting some loot!
Gage got so excited when he saw the Spider pumpkin. He wanted to make one!
Family Home Evening, Carving Pumpkins.
Mike, His girlfriend Kjirsten and their dog Atticus Came down from salt lake to trick or treat with us, they even coordinated with us and came as the villains of Batman and Robin.

We got good loot, Between Jon, I and the Boys we got 17 full size candy bars
and really only did one street

Homemade Ghost

My little Robin

My Batmen!

BatMEN and Robin

This was the best Halloween yet!
we had so much fun with Bob and kjirsten oh oh and Atticus (the doggie)

Piggy Kisses

We went to see Ponka. we didn't know it was the last time. From what I am told he was his normal self and we just caught him at nap time so he was really tired. He was so happy we came with Boden and Gage and didn't want us to leave and let him sleep. The above picture he was singing to Boden, it was so cute!

This was our last visit with him he passed away a week later.
Grandpa was so excited to go, he wanted to be with Grandma Macey. overall the whole funeral experience was a celebration in his honor and a big family reunion. It's just hard for my own selfish reasons to say see you later.
all the Maceys lowered their flags for the whole week

Gage and Uncle Bob



In Loving Memory of
Waldo Lincoln Macey
1919-2009

Hold Still.......................

Gage is getting so good at talking. He loves attention.
He is a great dancer and will groove to any beat


He loves watching Wow Wow Wubbzy and Yo Gabba Gabba.

He has gone potty on the big boy potty once
and we are trying to get him to be more consistent.

He loves "Juice" which is anything he can drink, mostly milk. He will bring me his juice cup and then go to the fridge and get out what he wants to drink and bring it to me then after I fill up his cup he will go put it back in the fridge. He is so smart. He loves asking for eggs and cheese. His latest is saying "help me, help me" and "stuck" when he is trying to get on the bed or couch.

He is such a fun loving boy and we are so glad to have him in our family

Gage having a cousin bath with Daxon

In August Chris (Jon's Nephew) and his wife Jenna moved in with us till they settled in Utah. We had so much fun while they were here and we were sad when they moved to Salt Lake, Gage was especially sad to loose the constant play time with Daxon their 1 year old son.

Hugging Daxon

Eating a tomato he picked himself out of the back deck garden

Gage LOVES water, the Bath is no exception


He loves going for rides with mommy and daddy on the quad runner.

Hayride at The Big Red Barn in Santaquin.

He got invited to Addy's 2nd birthday at the Dinosaur museum and he had lots of fun!


This is a video of Gage Dancing to a Yo Gabba Gabba song.

Gettin Big

Cuddling with big brother

Sitting like its nothing

Giggling


The last three months have been hectic, I now have a 3 month old and a 22 month old.
Boden is a joy in our lives, he loves watching his brother and wants so much to be able to run around with him. The first month he was a none stop hiccup-er he seems to have passed that phase. He has always been a good sleeper "Thank Goodness". He is such a happy baby, always smiling. at his 2 month check, he was in the 99% percentile for his height, I can confidently say he is going to be over 6 feet tall.


Gage Has loved having Boden around, They are such good cuddle buddies
and Gage loves helping throw diapers away,
in fact he is very defensive about he job and doesn't like mommy and daddy to do it.

Boden can now roll over!
