Breckinridge, Colorado

For Spring Break, my family and I all went to Breckinridge, Co. This place is absolutely beautiful! It took us 14 hours to get there but it was well worth it. We stayed in a condo that was ski in and ski out it was Awesome! There was about 18 of us that went, so we have a big group. Brandon and I only bought one lift ticket to share because we had Maci.I skied 2 half days and shopped the rest of the time. It was a good mix for me. Brandon and i did get to ski one day together and we had a blast!

The first day it snowed all day long. Tiffany and I bundled up the  kiddos and went out on the town. We walked down Main St. and met the rest of our group for lunch. Everyone had been skiing since the morning. Tiff and I stayed with the babies. We went to this place called Quandry for lunch. After eating we bundled up the kids again and headed for more shopping. Well we took the kids home first cause it was too cold. Robert, my sisters husband decided he was done skiing for the day so he would watch them. He was a big weeny but it worked out good for us.

That night my mom decided to watch the kids and let us go out on the town. DATE NIGHT IN BRECKINRIDGE, you can't beat that! The town is very romantic. We went wit my cousin Mallory, her boyfriend, uncle Kevin, and his girlfriend to a resturant called Bubba Gump. We later went to a little sports bar. We had a fun time! It was just nice to have some time without the kiddo. :)

The next morning, Brandon stayed home with Maci and I got to ski, YAY! It was in the 40's and sunny. It was an absolute perfect day to ski. My mom and I spent most of the day together. We did a coouple runs then it was time to come in for lunch and Brandon got to ski after we ate.

The next day, Robert decided he didn't want to ski so Brandon and I got to ski together for a half day. We had so much fun together. It was another beautiful day!

We went on the same blue runs over and over, they were the best. There was a half pike where Brandon and Caleb would do crazy jumps! I took a picture but it didn't turn out. We skied with alot of the group that day and it was alot of fun!

Well I took alot of pictures so I will put the rest up soon.....

MORE TO COME..........

Brandon's 29th Birthday!

For Brandons Birthday we went out to Canton to celebrate with is family. The weather in Canton was beautiful. Brandon, Maci, and I played outside until everyone got there. Maci loved the trampoline so much. She thought she was a big girl. She laughed alot and just had fun with mommy and daddy.

I love this picture, she is so stinking cute! :) We are going to have to get her a little kid trampoline cause she loved it!

SO BIG!

While we waited on the food to cook, Mimi and Papa showed Maci pictures. She loves pictures! in this picture she was telling mimi BACK, she wanted her to move. lol. I guess she just wanted to be with her PAPA!

So sweet! I love you PAPA!

Amber and Chad came to Canton for Brandons birthday and to visit. It is always so good to see them. WE really wish they would move back closer to us.

We had steak, baked potatos, bread, salad, and beans for dinner. The Bells out did themselves, but I guess Brandon is worth it.:) We all ate too much but we always leave room for dessert. I don't thnik we every skip dessert in this family. I guess that explains the 20 extra pounds on me! When it was time for cake Maci was ready, you would of thought it was her birthday! I guess she heard the word CAKE and came running. She sat in her daddies lap while we sang Happy Birthday! She also helped him blow out the candles and eat the cake. The birthday boy didn't even get the first piece, MACI did.

We had a blast! By the way that cake was AMAZING!

Happy 29th Birthday Baby!

Maci loves playing with her food more than she likes to eat it. She is very independent and dosen't want mommy feeding her. I guess we will just have to deal with the messes until she gets the whole feeding herself with a fork and spoon down.

She has this thing where she rubs everything in her hair. Lets just say this was fun to clean up.

Wow, this was probally one of her biggest messes she has made. I am not sure if she even ate any of the spaghetti or not.

She is so precious even with food all over her face. I love you Maci!

Valentines Day

My sweet little girl on Valentines Day!

Thank You Gamma for the pretty dress, Love You!

Happy Valentines Day!

Bath

Maci loves taking baths. I will say Bath and she heads straight to the bath tub and says, BATH. She continues to say it until I put her in the water. She never wants me to turn the water off. She loves to fill up the bucket and pour it out. Needless to say our water bill has gone up a little. She is really into the water not much into her bath toys. She wants me right by the tub but doesn't want me to touch it. Anytime I put my hand on the side of  the tub she says No Momma. Everytime it is time for her to get out of the bath she gets so mad and throws a fit she tries to climb back in, crazy girl.

She is saying her name in this picture..........

She is gonna be mad at me for this one...........

Maci

My precious little girl turns 18 months tomorrow. I can't believe how fast she is growing up. She is one smart cookie, not sure where she gets it, LOL. This picture was taken a few days ago. Her new thing is to crawl up in the chair and get on the computer. She pulls up the pictures and flips through them. She loves pictures! She also says pictures now and she sounds so precious when she says it. I got the idea from my friends blog to write 18 things about her since she is 18 months. I thought it was a great idea so here it goes:

1. Her favorite food is turkey hotdogs.

2. She has over 35 words now.

3. If you ask her to give you a mean face she will pout out her lip and give you a look, she does it on command. It is very funny!

4. As soon as she is done going potty she comes to me and says Sho Sho, i think she is ready to potty train.
5. She can say her name very clear, so precious.
6. She loves Diet Coke, calm down I only give her a sip every now and then but if she had it her way she would drink it in her sippy.
7. She is a mommies girl for sure.
8. Her first movie impersanation is Home Alone. She puts her hands on both sides of her face and says Ahhhh!
9. She loves Mickey Mouse clubhouse, she sings the Hot dog dance song!
10. She says prayers, she babbles holding your hand and then says Amen. We didn't even teach her, it was very sweet.
11.She is very independent.
12. She will use anything for a play phone, even a sock.
13.She loves to give kisses and hugs to everyone!
14. She is very attached to her Paci.
15. She never crawled, she scooted on her bottom.
16.She knows most animal sounds, monkey is her favorite.
17.She loves feeding, rocking, spanking, etc. to her babies.
18. Her middle name is Renae
We are very thankful for our precious little girl! She makes each day a better day!

Just kidding Flea, you are getting better. She knows way to much about me, if only I knew how to keep my mouth shut, LOL! I love that she is so positive and always up to do anything. She has a wonderful family that we have grown to love. Not only are Felicia and I good friends but so are our husbands. She has to beautiful kids that I also love. Just happens that Camille and Maci are best buds too!

This picture was taken at Wee School at our church. It was pajama day, and they wore the same pj's. We didn't even plan it. They looked so cute. Camille, Maci says Hi! Maci also really loves Eli, Felicias little boy. She already can't keep her hands off of him, LOL!

They are going to get married some day, so precious! Well anyway I love the Woods family and I am so thankful God bless me with them, Maci seconds that! Felicia, sometimes you just need to hear you are a great friend so there ya go! Now I better get some points for this, LOL.
