A little time for pictures

I have a new respect for photagraphers of little children. Getting Macy to smile naturally was like pulling teeth. I do feel like we took a couple pictures worth keeping. To see all the pictures visit my facebook page under albums.

Happy Birthday Macy!! 3 !!

Happy family on a really good day!

Isn't she an angel

Today we are celebrating Macy's 3rd birthday. I have been waiting for this day for awhile because lately Macy has been saying that she is too little to do things. She keeps telling me that, "When it's my birthday I'll be big enough to do that." So now she will have to come up with a different excuse.

Macy told me that she wanted an airplane for her birthday. We took her to the toy store and showed her all the airplanes. They would interest her for a short time and then she would lose interest. So we didn't buy any. Then we got home and I thought,"you know we have alot of moving boxes in the garage let's build an airplane." Of course she thought that was pretty neat and she liked helping me build and decorate the plane. We have had a hard time getting her to do anything else but play in her plane. She also informed this morning that her plane can turn into anything like a pirate ship or a camper. So before you spend alot of money on little kids, try a cardboard box instead.

I am also posting a picture of Andrea in her blessing dress. For those who don't know, in our church, when a child is born, we give her a special blessing so that her name is recorded in the church records and a blessing is given to help give her strength and love. The dress that she is wearing was made for me 25 years ago by my grandmother at my blessing. Macy also wore this dress.
