Could We Take Any More Pictures?

Last night Michael was teasing saying that we really should take more pictures of this poor child. Ha ha! Well, last week we took Macie's 6-month / Easter pictures at the Marana library. Needless to say, Macie is learning what the camera is and I think she thinks it's attached to her grandpa's face! Anyway, Grandpa Mike found some grass and took some great shots! She's wearing her Easter dress that Aunt Alicia brought her. I think we'll wait till next year for the Easter bunny. Macie might be ready but Mommy's not!

This is one of our favorite faces!

Giggling Girl- 6 Months Old

A Baby Shower!

Sunday we had a baby shower for my sister, Alicia, who is due in June! She is having a baby girl named Parker and we just can't wait to meet her! The shower was a huge success and we had so much fun. Her nursery will be decorated in ladybugs, and she struck gold with that theme, there were ladybugs everywhere!

You know the song...or maybe big girl in a tiny body? Okay, maybe I've seen Tommy Boy too many times and that song runs through my head more often than it should. Anyway, Macie's little stature hasn't kept her from hitting her milestones and hitting them right on time! Yes I know every parent probably thinks their child is exceptional, but I guess I just didn't realize how fast she would be learning and moving! Here are a few pictures of my big girl, figuring out the world around her.

Who knew my five month-old would like to watch Dora and Sesame Street?

Not crawling yet, but she may be rolling out the door soon.

I think she's been watching daddy do pushups.

Valentine in San Diego

This is a few weeks late, but our latest adventure was a weekend road trip to San Diego for Valentine's Day. We met our friends, the Wilson's, in La Jolla. (They live in Henderson, NV). We got to meet their little boy, Brady, for the first time. He is one day older than Macie, which is another great bond we have with their family now! We stayed right on the Torrey Pines golf course, which Michael loved. Will used to live in SD, so he showed us a few local spots and some great sights!

Enjoying the pretty weather having coffee with Daddy.

Macie is really checking out Brady!

Something New...

Well, here's to a new half year with our new little family. Macie is almost six months old. Since time is flying by, I've decided to get going on this blog. I have no idea what I'm doing, so bear with my amateur skills! I wanted our family and friends near and far to be able to see what we're doing a click away...so here it goes! The life and times in the desert with the Three Beals' - more to come!
