Maeley is 7


Again where has the time gone because it doesn't seem possible that I have a 7 year old. Maeley loves school. That actually might be an understatement. She tells me often that she loves learning. Generally she is very helpful however she does have a stubborn side. Maeley is notorious for making herself laugh and giggling uncontrollably. She is showing signs of maturity, when I asked her what she wanted for her birthday she told me things that I didn't need to buy her because she knew they cost a lot of money. Last night at the ward fall festival she had a great time going around to the different activities with her friend by themselves. I think she is ready for more independence. Maeley does not like getting butterflies in her stomach. Its not just roller coaster rides that scare her its driving fast over little hills she also doesn't like much. Maeley loves hamburgers and hates chicken nuggets. Her favorite color is pink and she still loves Princess Aurora (aka Sleeping Beauty). She's into all the Tinker Bell moves and really likes the new one with Periwinkle. Maeley loves playing with dolls still. Maeley is a very sweet girl and wants to do whats right. I love you Maeley!

Happy Birthday Maeley!

My baby is now 4!

Zoe loves Daisy Duck and often dresses her in doll clothes. She also uses bracelets as a necklace for Daisy.

Where has the time gone and how can it possibly be that my baby is now 4! I'm in disbelief however I love this stage. Zoe is such a wonderful child. She's a very happy kid and loves to make you laugh and smile. If she's in a bad mood its normally pretty easy to talk her out of it. If not she'll do her best to be happy. Zoe doesn't speak very clearly. She often leaves out the first consonant in a word however I can understand her perfectly. If she concentrates she normally can get it right. Zoe loves to give hugs and kisses and calls hugs "huggies". She loves to eat. She isn't into sweets as much as Maeley and Chase are but she loves to help you bake. I love having so much time with Zoe. It's going to be very hard to send her off to school in a couple years. She's brings so much joy into our family. I feel blessed to be her mom.

Happy Birthday Zoe!
