This summer has been so busy, but fun. Dustin took us fishing one night. Macie was obsessed with the "fishies" we never really caught. At least Grandpa Hansen caught one she could look at.
Notice Macie's fully submerged feet.
It's always nice getting out into the great outdoors.The other day I was laying in bed with Macie after putting Noah in bed, and Dustin came in and said, "I wish I could just freeze them at this age." He went on to say that Macie is so cute and innocent, usually, and Noah is just so happy. It was so sweet! What a cute dad.
So, this is probably just a "you had to be there" moment, but I had to blog this because I was DYING last night! So, it was about 11:45 last night and Dustin and I decided we should get some shut eye. Dustin was in bed, and I lay down and try to relax. Do you ever notice how once you get in bed, you really can realize where your whole body hurts? Well, I thought Dustin cared and proceeded to tell him, "Man, my knees hurt so bad. So does my back." Then he pops in this little jewel. "Does your face hurt?" Me, not seeing where this was going said, "No, should it?" and he replied with, "Cause it's killing me!" Oh my heck! It was late and I was so tired, but I spent the next 15 minutes giggling and crying like a little 6th grade girl! I was dying!!! Then we spent about 10 minutes trying to decide if that really was how the insult went. I told Dustin I'll never be able to complain about my aches and pains without laughing now. Oh, good times. The joys of being married to Dustin. :)
Well, the fourth was pretty fun for us. We spent the weekend in Wellsville with Dustin's family. Macie liked doing the fireworks. I know it's dangerous for little kids, but we like to live on the wild side. Here's Noah watching the fireworks. His eyes were huge the whole time.
On Monday, we went to the parade in Hyrum. It was TWO HOURS LONG! At first Macie was content getting a piece of candy and hanging out.
Then she got into getting the candy. She ended up making a pretty good haul.
This last week, we went to spend a few days with my sister, Kristy. Here's Macie jumping on the trampoline with the sprinkler. She wasn't quite as into it as I thought she'd be, but she had fun.
The other night, Dustin and I decided to go for a drive, and we hiked up to this waterfall. It was SUPER pretty, and a good hike, too. We had to haul our kids up and watch for stinging nettle. Dustin found it first by walking through it, so we kept our eyes open after that.
It was so pretty up there. The view was awesome. It made us really appreciate living where we do, and being able to get out and do stuff in the outdoors. What a gorgeous place to be!
I was very sad thinking about picture time because Mollie, who usually takes my kids' pictures, lives in Arizona. I had seen some pictures my friend Amanda took, and so I called her up. Thanks so much Amanda for putting up with all of my craziness. You did a great job. As you can see from the pictures, she didn't disappoint! :) Tons of fun. Here are Macie's two year pictures. What a beauty. Enjoy.
I LOVE PICTURE TIME! Here are Noah's three month pictures. It's a little closer to four months, but that's ok. He was so good and smiled so much. What a charmer!
Thanks again Amanda. LOVE THEM!
So, this post is a little late, but Macie turned 2 on June 10th. Here are a few pictures of her and her presents. I'm pretty sure she had tons of fun!
Here are some pictures of our first time out climbing this year. Macie is quite the climber. She loves it.
Dustin's grandma had her 80th birthday, so his family all got together in Pocatello. Here's Noah, Macie and her second cousin, Ella. This is the only picture I got of the whole night.
We are just keeping busy so far this summer. We are having fun, though!
