She's Here!

Maci Jayde was born on 7/28 at 2:00 pm. She is absolutely perfect if you ask me! She was 6 pounds 10 ounces and 19 inches long. Her features are so tiny she only fits in preemie clothes. This is a picture of her with the smallest newborn shirt we have lying on top of her....a little too big :)

This is one of the pictures we had taken at the hospital. I can't show the best one yet because it is going out in announcements :) Funny faces

First time with a pacifier.

11 More Days!

Well if I don't have this baby by the 28th, the doctor is breaking my water. My due date is not until Aug. 7th but I am having constant contractions and there has been some concern about how this is affecting her heartbeat. I can't believe we have a maximum of 11 days before we meet her. I wonder if she will look like Skylar. The ultrasound showed she had hair. Skylar had a lot of hair. We just bought a Flip camera and I love it. Here's my first flip video clip. I love when Skylar makes her cute little faces.

This is pretty funny. Jordan has started saying "chocolate" all the time. He yells it in public whenever he sees anything chocolate, but as you will see it does not exactly sound like the word chocolate when he says it. This is going to get embarrasing, but it's also pretty hilarious :)

Happy 4th of July

We spend every 4th of July at my grandparents' house, swimming and having fun with the family. It's crazy to think that this will be our last holiday without little Maci. I can't wait to meet her! How cool are these kids?

My little man

Poor Bella is getting her first tooth and she is not happy about it!

My kiddos with my cousin's son Seth. Getting 3 two year-olds to look at the camera at the same time is near impossible :)

First time wearing floaties. They didn't last long for Skylar. She doesn't want to swim by herself yet.

Swimming with Daddy.

Jordan is our little fish. He will stay in the water shivering and cry when you make him get out. Here he is playing with my dad. My dad went with us to Vietnam when we picked him up and they have always had such a special bond. He definitely loves his grandpa!

Jordan's very first time floating by himself in the water. He was so proud.

I caught my kids pretending to be babies with their cousin Bella's toys. This could be a bad sign :)

All the other kids were afraid of the fireworks. Skylar was the only one who stayed outside and watched. She was so happy that everyone kept telling her how brave she was.

Jordan watched the fireworks from a window inside. My mom finally got him onto the porch, but it didn't last long. He actually did a lot better than I thought he would though.

Skylar and her great-grandpa.

Really Late Father's Day Pics

I have been so lazy with my blog lately. Here's some pictures from Father's Day. Better late than never right?

Gilroy

We went to Gilroy Gardens amusement park this weekend. Of course we also had to stop at the outlet mall! It was fun. Probably our last trip as a family of four. :)

Looking good in the car. Skylar has some wierd obsession about her sunglasses now. She constantly covers her eyes and says "bright" when they aren't on. What a little diva.
Jordan wants to do whatever his sister does

Can you say sugar high?

I have no idea why Jordan has bad teeth Haha.....I really don't give him that much sugar, but it was a special day :)

My little gymnist

Jordan's favorite thing to do is eat. He thinks that's more exciting than the rides.

Lifting her hands like a brave little girl. Skylar is going to be our little roller coaster rider. She's not afraid of anything.

Jordan was too scared for this ride so she went all by herself.....twice!

Me and my princess

Jordan figuring out the chair in the hotel spins around....hours of fun!

Happy Mother's Day!

I can't even remeber what it felt like to not be a mommy. I can't imagine life without the joy of my children. Their smiles are what I live for. They make every day worth waking up for.

My baby girl on the teeter totter. When did she get big enough for a teeter totter?? I wish she would stop growing up so fast!
My brother, sister-in-law, niece, and Skylar.

Jordan had so much fun swinging with his great grandpa.
He loves the teeter totter too.
My mom and my niece. I have the best mom on Earth! I pray that I will be able to be for my children what she has always been for me, but I doubt I will ever compare.
This is the look I got when I said, "Don't smile Skylar."

Mickey Fun and Toddler Beds

My mom and I took the kids to Disneyland Friday and Saturday while Paul and my dad painted and decorated Jordan's new room. I think the girls got the better deal! Haha. We had so much fun. The kids just love Disneyland. Skylar was especially excited about it this time.

Heading into the park after checking into our hotel. We got up at 3:15 Friday to get there early. Maybe Snow White was not a good choice for the first ride of the day. Jordan was terrified :(

Waiting anxiously to ride Dumbo. Who says elephants can't fly?

"I love you brother."

Jordan is always so amazed at the Clubhouse show. He can't believe the Einsteins and Mickey are really right in front of him.

The cars and the rockets are Skylar's favorite rides. She talked about the "beep beep" ride for a week before we left.

What a goofball!!

Jordan was so excited when he saw his new room and his racecar bed last night. The guys did a really good job. And although Skylar still comes into our room in the night after 2 1/2 months in her toddler bed, he slept in his room all night long!! Yea!

He loves his car pillows
