Travelling

I am still having trouble uploading pictures for some reason, but I was able to get some pictures of our trip to VA

We stopped in Iowa and they had this picture you stick your faces in, we had to do it! It says "Stompin' through Minden, IA"

We had some car trouble (as we do on every long trip). This is Mack and I in the waiting room.

Poor baby lived in the car seat for a week. Luckily she did not seem to mind much, she is the best traveller ever!!

In Indiana we stopped to have a milk shake. That is when we discovered that Mack can drink through a straw!!

I can't blame her, it was a really good milk shake!

We are in Virginia now. It is beautiful and full of trees. We are just getting used to our surroundings and Travis is working Late evenings installing security systems. Hopefully more pictures will come. We just need to get our computer fixed.

Yah, pictures...

My computer randomly let me upload pictures today. So here are some updates. The picture above is Mack on our trip to Colorado a couple of weeks ago. She is getting used to travelling and does very well. Luckily, because we have a very long trip to Virginia next week.

We are moving to Virginia for 5-6 months to install security systems.
Mack loves her walker/toy.

She just looks so small in this high chair, it cracks me up

A week or 2 ago Mack started rolling over in her crib. She gets herself stuck in the strangest positions.

Dancing with Daddy

Mack smiles all the time and we can get her to giggle pretty easily. It is so much fun!

She wanted the camera so bad! It turned out to be a cute pic

Such a happy girl, super cute outfit!!

This is a pic that did not turn out that I cannot figure out how to delete of this post, so sorry.

My computer is being stupid and I cannot upload any pictures without my computer freezing up and kicking me off the Internet. So sorry. I will just have to give you a quick update.
A couple weeks ago we went to Colorado for Travis to have an interview. We did not get the job, so sad...so we are leaving Montana on April 2nd and heading out to Virginia to install security systems with a small group of people. It is a long trip, but we are going to make the best of it. It should be a fun adventure. We will be there for 4-6 months.
Mack is almost 6 months. She rolls over and can almost sit on her own. She still wakes up through out the night but she is super cute. She smiles a lot and we can get her giggling pretty easily!
I have a new niece as of yesterday! Yah, 7 nieces 1 nephew!! We love girls.

Hopefully pictures coming soon.

Rice Cereal

Myth: Rice cereal sustains a baby longer than just formula or breast milk

Truth: It actually sustains them less.

Last night I gave Mack rice cereal and she actually had a few bites and liked it. She also had 6 oz of formula on top of that. You would think she was down for the night. Not true, she woke up earlier than she has in over a month absolutely starving. I did not think she could possibly be hungry so I am trying to find tylenol or gripe water in the dark. I decided to see if she was hungry and she was. I had to make 2 bottles because she sucked the first one dry.
My baby is the one that is out to prove everything wrong. She will not go on a schedule. She can last 10 hours on 2 oz formula and then she will only last 2 hours on 8 oz. There is no figuring her out and she won't let me. I challenge "super mom" to get this child on a schedule!!

I do love my daughter very much, she just gave me an awful night last night.

Our Little Valentine

We got some really cute pictures of Mack yesterday so we thought we would just post some!
She is smiling so big at her Dad who can usually always get her to smile.

I just love her big eyes

And those chubby cheeks!

Isn't the bib so true!!

Happy Valentine's Day to everyone! Yesterday I made Travis breakfast and took him out to a movie and then he took me out to eat and gave me a neck massage. It was a good day for us. Today I am trying out a new recipe for dinner, so wish me luck!!

For Mom

This last month we have been quite busy and I have slacked on taking pictures and staying updated. We moved to Montana and live in a trailer next to Travis' grandparents. It has taken a long time to move in while watching a baby, but we are getting settled just fine. The fun thing about living in Montana is that we don't have to pay sales tax!

This last week Carrie (Travis' youngest sister got married) and we spent the week before in Rigby Idaho having fun with Bridal shower, snowmobiling and hanging out with the family. The wedding was great and Carrie looked beautiful and they are a happy couple!

That is just a short update for now and here are some pics because my mom is missing Mack!

She is 4 months old now and just tall and thin. She is 26 inches long and 13 pounds.

She is not looking at the camera she is actually zeroed in on the computer.

Belated Christmas 2009

We had a fun and busy Christmas. All my sisters were in town and we had a fun time just hanging out.
Mack already has so many things so she got one present this year. Her Bumbo, which she loves.

The wrapping paper was more interesting than most anything. Any why wouldn't it be?!

Sarah got this basket for her beach cruiser bike. Mack just looked really cute in it.

Mack had a couple outfit changes because she has so many cute Christmas clothes. The reindeer outfit is from our neighbor.

I never go a Christmas without making a gingerbread house. My sisters and I had so much fun decorating our houses. Leah and Sarah are the really detailed creative ones and Anna and I are the impatient ones so our houses all turned out quite different.Leah's had a big Y on the roof for BYU--of course.

Anna's had a mouse out front!!

Sarah actually took the time to cover the roof in pretzel sticks. It turned out looking really cool.

Mine had Rudolph on the roof!

Overall we had a great Christmas, I hope all of you did as well.
