Baby Jesus

Baby Jesus likes Dr. Browns bottles the best!

I am not totally sure what the Christmas play at church is going to be like, but I do know that the nativity scene is going to be totally made from photographs. So today we went to a church members ranch/barn/stable thing and took these pictures with Cody and Jessica.
This is a great picture from my camera. The photographer was going to send me his pictures too which I'm sure will be way better! It looks like there is paparazzi on the right side of the stable ;o)
It was chilly chilly in the wind, but inside the stable was better.....until they took her warm cozy clothes off! She was not a fan, but she warmed up in the hay and cloth.

Silly Walmart Man

Meet the pacifier! (or any other cute name you wish to call it)

This is 1 of 2 pacifiers that Makenzie brought home from NICU. They are different in there than the ones they give the regular babies, not sure why though. Cute huh......not really! Not cute because they are the ONLY two pacifiers the girl will take and calm down with when she is upset. PICKY PICKY not sure where she gets that from!

Well....Today at Walmart we were on the toothpaste isle and the beloved pacifier fell on the ground. This put the pacifier out of commission until it could be sterilized in the steamer at home. We finish our shopping and get to the checkout where the out of commissioned pacifier falls out of the stroller again and on to the flood. I said "Ewww I'm willing to let the pacifier fall once on the Walmart floor and still use it but twice is out of the question." My mom and Emily quickly give me 'the look' and we all laugh because OBVIOUSLY I am joking. The ding dong behind the register as me if I would like him to throw the pacifier away!!!!! I started laughing at him and told him we would just take it home and sterilize it. Obviously he does not know that I am already going to have to break into the NICU and steal a bag full of these orange pacifiers when these two get lost or start to get nasty and I'm pretty sure that the law might consider that stealing but it will be totally worth it!

Tomorrow is Halloween and my costume for Aubrey's party is amazing....I'm sure you will be loosing sleep tonight wondering what it could be! Pictures tomorrow!

HA HA HA

I do not like Spencer and Heidi, nor am I a fan of Jon and Kate BUT this is freakin hilarious!!!!!!!!! Happy Halloween Friday!

Cute Skeleton

She is too cute! I think I kinda like her...a lot!
***grumpy voice***This is the crappy swing from Target. It's the 2nd one we have had in 4 weeks and the motor is about to go out on it too! Me and Graco are gonna have a battle soon over it!

We made it to the Pumpkin Patch today!

We went to the pumpkin patch today!
First we went to the church to deliver some Halloween goodies to the ladies we love up there. Then we went to the pumpkin patch and took pictures! She did so good for both events!

After the pumpkin patch we went to DFT and met with Lori and some of the other teachers. My mom was gonna wait in the car but I told her "Come inside and watch how these teachers are gonna oooooo and awwwww over her." I don't think she believed me, but sure enough everyone we passed wanted to steal her and take her home!

Frankenstein Brownies and Pumpkin Pictures

Tonight I made Frankenstein Brownies and man are they fun!

I'm going to deliver them around town tomorrow and Wednesday ;o) I love Halloween even if it is 'Satan's holiday'. I love the cute pumpkins and ghost and monsters!!!

I was going to take Mak to the pumpkin patch with Gregory and Aubrey this weekend but for some reason it didn't happen. Pumpkin pictures were taken in the living room though!

3 baths in 1 day!

Yesterday my to-do list was to give the dog, the baby, and myself a bath. Good news is that all 3 task were successfully completed, bad news is that it took all day! I know my day is starting a lot later than it did before Makenzie, but it still seems like it takes all day to get my chores done.

Makenzie has been sleeping from around 10pm until 11am, waking up every 4 hours to eat. She is so good at night though, she goes right back to sleep after eating and a fresh diaper. That is a hugh blessing!

Mom Confession #1: Last night Mak woke up around 1:30 to eat. I got up, warmed the bottle, and started to feed her. I didn't pick her up, I just held her head up a little bit. I woke up again at 2:15 with a sleeping baby in bed and an empty bottle. OOPS!!! Guess we missed that burp!
