Have you ever.....

Cleaned poop off of a shower curtain?  I hadn't either....till tonight.  I decided to skip photos for this post.  You're welcome.  Instead -- I found this for you.  Moose poop earrings.  Yep, straight from Maine....bet you were thinking Montana, huh?!?  Winters must get long out there.  If you happen to get these for me for Christmas or my birthday, I will not wear them and you will have lost $16 plus shipping, but I'd still laugh! 

Sweet and Innocent

Yes, I've posted lots today -- I'm catching up.  No matter what you think is going on, if there is what sounds like sweet and innocent laughter coming from the bathroom.....don't believe it.  There's no such thing as sweet and innocent laughter.  Ever.

When Dad goes to Vegas

"Maci, I'm Spiderman, you're Batman."
Playin' in the fort....

Yes, all those diapers got thrown onto the floor.

Errrr!!

Brent is livin' the high life (maybe in his mind!) these days -- off to Vegas to spend time with his good buddy and Cash's godfather, Jack.  While he's dealing with the chaos of big city livin, we're livin it up in Frenchtown.  We've spent our days running in the 60 degree weather -- the stroller rides are going much better these days and Cash even cheers me on.  I have to cut a deal with the kid to get him to go though.....you come for a run with me, I'll go to the park with you.  So, that means plenty of park time and his first shorts and t-shirt of the season.  We made forts, homemade mac and cheese, had a bbq with the neighbors, played with the dogs, and even cleaned the house!  We took a little drive on Saturday and found a nice herd of elk, so spent some time watching them and explaining to Cash why we couldn't go bombing through some guys field to get closer.  Then Sunday was Rick Jackson's Country Hall of Fame (my favorite Sunday program, 3 hours of good old country classics) with coffee, chocolate goldfish, craisins, and a drive in the mountains.  Now that's livin' the high life!

Payin' dues

Yeehaw!

Grandpa time!

He said he had fun, but Jim has a different story.....

Not sure who's more excited.

Thanks for all my birthday goodies and wishes!

Not even a little smile?  That's our little sweetie.

G&G O game time.

Maci don't want no shots!

Cash gave the doc the business today during Maci's 1 year check up with these exact words -- "Maci don't want no shots!".  Unfortunately, the doc didn't listen and they worked little Mo over with 5 shots.  3 in the legs, 2 in the arms.  Nobody was happy in that room. 

Maci's stats:
22 lbs 11 oz  - 72%
29 3/4 inches  - 65%
46 cm head circum.  - 65%

Our little girlie is growing up, up, up.  The doc says she looks great and she's right on track with everything.  She didn't mention anything about our need to send Cash to school so he can learn proper English.  I'm sure it's in her notes.

Maci Elizabeth

Our sweet little girl turns 1 today.  I can't believe it.  About this time last year I was studying for my Anatomy lab quiz and trying to hold out long enough to take it so I wouldn't have any make up work post baby!  I didn't take the quiz, I drove to Taco Time and bought 2 country burritos, went to Brent's office and did the labor lady walk for some hours, ate one burrito (knew I'd throw it all up, so saved the 2nd one for when the baby got here), then eventually we made our way to the hospital.  And eventually, Maci Elizabeth made her way into our family.  We love her tons and look forward to so many more years.  HAPPY BIRTHDAY MOSEY!!
