Happy Birthday Baby Anne!

Wow! My baby girl is growing up! Where did this last year go?! Anne is such a good-natured, happy, cute, lovable, squeezable little baby--- we just eat her up all day long!






Some rib-ticklin' --- she just giggles. Love that face!



"What is THIS?!"






She was so funny.... didn't really want to get all dirty and dig in like my boys have done on their 1st birthdays. Here comes Adam to the rescue.... He'll make sure she gets some cake.




And some for him, of course! Happy Birthday Anne!

Fantastic First Graders!

Here is Luke at his 1st grade program. He was so excited to perform, it was really cute! Way to go, Lukey!

Happy Birthday Adam!

I love Adam's little personality and his imagination! Here are a couple cute shots... he loves to dress up and have me take his picture! Below: he is learning to wink. Cute, eh!?






Yeah!! The day FINALLY came for Adam to turn the BIG FOUR! He has been waiting "for so long!" (his words) It was fun to have G'ma & G'pa Macdonald and lots of cousins here! (Mylee, Max, Merek, Malia & Isaac)





He has been talking about his pinata for weeks! He was sooo excited to crack it open!


"Look, I'm FOUR!" (Okay, really that's eight, but who's counting!?)

Baby chicks are here!

So, what did you get in the mail this week?? Betcha it wasn't as exciting as cute, fuzzy, day-old baby chicks! Who would've thought you can receive live poultry via USPS?! The boys each chose the breed they wanted online a few weeks ago... and they are so excited to see them when they're grown. Caleb and Adam picked the really funky looking types with crazy top feathers and feathered feet. Luke chose the kind that lay colorful, speckled eggs. Waaay too much excitement around here!!

Master Macdonald

Eric finished his Masters of Arts in Teaching last week so we celebrated with a party. I asked him if he wanted to attend the graduation ceremony-- and he just laughed at me. Great job honey! We're proud of you!

Anne looks like shes is ready to dig in!

BTW, Caleb is wearing a Davey Crocket 'coon skin cap... he doesn't really have a huge hairy head.

Cutie Pie!

Baby Anne turned 10 months this week. She is such a fun, happy, cute, & lovable baby! I kiss her all day long! Here she is in her b-day suit. Do they have Jenny Craig for infants?! No.. we love her rolls!

A little Christmas catch-up

Okay, so I'm a little behind..... where did January go?? Here are some shots at Temple Square. What can help you get the spirit of Christmas more than 10 million lights, music and larger-than-life statue of Christ? It is one of our favorite traditions.



It was fun having Big G'pa and G'ma Macdonald for Christmas. We spent Christmas Eve with Christa & Steve's family.
