Our nest of Four

Here is a quick over view of what has been happening the last few months with Macey in our family.
We have had a fabulous summer, we haven't even had time to slow down and it has been so much fun. I figure we can slow down in the long winter months ahead. The second child grows up so much faster than the first, I feel like I am missing it and she is only 2 months old.  We have taken her all over the place and last week she even had her first ride in the semi. (I forgot to get a picture because with the second I seem to do that a lot) but here are some of the pictures when I have remembered to pull the camera out.
(I just looked at the calender and noticed in one month today Blaine and I will be celebrating our 5 year anniversary. Time flies, but we never let the little moments slip away).  Hope you all enjoy the pictures of our little family as much as we do!!  

Dayton is a proud big brother and very protective of her! Grandpa Bird teases him and says, "My Macey" and Dayton doesn't like that so he responds louder and more energetically, "My Macey"!

Macey taking a bath. She is so little she fits in the sink!

Silly silly Dayton, he wants to try out all the new baby gear in our house and it is so cute he thinks he fits! Well at least I thought it was cute, until he sat in and about broke my life saver....the swing!

So Sweet!!

We went to the Eastern Idaho State Fair twice this fall. This particular time we met up with my parents.  The other time we went with Blaine's parents. We love the fair it is so much fun and we especially love the food!!

Enjoying the fair!

Dayton's favorite part of the fair was seeing the tractors...go figure!
He also loved the animals.

Here is how Macey spent most of the time at the fair.

The cool sharks!

Our sweet Macey again

  Blaine let me sleep in one morning and I woke up to find this!

We got to experience our new temple open house (Brigham City) and it was so much fun to take our little family into the temple.

It was so nice of Blaine's parents to take us to the open house, after we enjoyed a very yummy dinner at Maddox!

It is a beautiful temple, but more importantly is was so nice to enjoy the spirit we felt there. We know this is the Lord's house and it is His work that is done inside the walls of this beautiful building!

Dayton loved to see the temple! He kept telling us after we got home that he wanted to go to the temple again, I hope he can remember the feeling he had inside so that he will want to return when he is older.

I love the arms above the head.

 I walked into the room one day to find this...  Dayton was snuggled under her watching his show. So cute I had to capture this sweet moment!

Macey has been smiling since she was 2 weeks old. Her smiles are just getting bigger and brighter! We are so blessed to have this beautiful little girl in our home! (She is 9 weeks old and has a ear infection in this picture and is still smiling)

Our garden Dayton loved to go out and pick the peas...He would say, "Peas, sooo good"!

Blaine was the caretaker of our garden this summer, do to me being pregnant and then having a new baby. All summer long there was never a weed because he took such good care of it. We were able to get 25 quarts of beans and I told him it was because he was the farmer not me. That is amazing for a brand new garden. 

Dayton found one of Macey's bows and next thing I found was this, he knew it went in her hair.

It is so much fun to have a toddler and a baby.  I went to pick her up and I found Dayton had helped her get toys. He wants her to play with him pretty badly. I hope they will be good little friends when she can actually play!
