First Hair Cut

Mace got his first hair cut yesterday!

Thanks Whit for doing such a great job! We are lucky to have you in our family! By-the-way, I need a haircut soon! Thanks!

April Fool's Day!

I really love April Fool's Day.

I love the fun and teasing.

I even love it when I fall for a joke.

Most of all, I love it when Tyler falls for a joke!

This is what I did while Mace was taking a nap.

I told Tyler Mace fell and hit his head on the coffee table.

I left the band-aids on for most of the afternoon. At one point during the evening, I was ready to pull them off and say, "April Fool's" but Mace started crying. I simply said, "It's okay, mommy won't touch it!"

Here is a close-up!

"April Fool's Dad! We got you!" Poor Tyler was tricked again!

He pretended to start punching me while saying, "Not funny! You are not funny!"

(We reenacted this pose. The original face Tyler made was much more shocked.)

Here is Mace without the band-aids. I put a little bit of dark blue eye shadow around the band-aids to make it look like it was starting to bruise.

. . . . Now, I need to start thinking of things for next year.

Easter Weekend!

Last weekend, we drove to St. George. We stayed with Kourtney and Luke in their new house! Which, Kourtney has decorated super cute! I want her to come to my house and help me decorate!

We went climbing in Crawdad Canyon with some great friends!

Right before we left, Kourtney took this cute family picture!

Thanks Kourt!

Having fun in the car after a 3 1/2 hour nap!

My legs turned into a jungle gym for Mace. He had fun playing peek-a-boo!

Daddy and Mace

Mommy and Mace

We had so much fun! It was great to see family and be with friends! We are planning to go back next month and climb some more!

The Cage

Our latest purchase for Mace:

Tyler calls it "The Cage." Mace doesn't care. He likes playing in it.

I like the pattern. We tell Mace he is the Lion. (Or sometimes, He is the monkey!)

Perfection and Fun

Remember this? Well, Mace has been working pretty hard, and I would say that he has perfected crawling! I am so proud of him!

I made this movie right before Mace learned that he could get off the couch, by diving head first!

I love this little boy so much! His little noises are so funny to me!

Playing Peek-a-Boo with Mace! He loves Cookie Monster!

Mace is really good at finding his blue friend!

He also loves trying to grab the water in the tub!

Brad, Tyler and I went skiing last Saturday at Solitude! It was the best skiing day I have ever had! I felt like I was less afraid, and my turns are getting better!

Having a blast!!

Naked Boy

I just love this picture!

I love the little moments in life that make me laugh!

This picture was taken when Mace was just a few hours old! I remember thinking how perfect he is! He is so small here. I miss this stage of his life. I would hold him and he would lay perfectly still.

Now, I am lucky if he holds still at all! (This includes when I am feeding him, as he is constantly kicking his legs or pulling my hair, my shirt, his blanket. . . )

I feel so lucky to be his mom! I love each new stage in his life!

It is amazing to watch how quickly he changes!

I love him so much!

Parks are for Swinging and playing Soccer

Yesterday the weather was too beautiful to stay inside! After Tyler got home from work we walked to the park! We took a blanket and toys for Mace to play with and a soccer ball for us. Mace didn't like being on the blanket, so it was boys against girls! After playing with the soccer ball, we put Mace in the swing! He loved it! I am glad he likes to be outside!

My Baby is Crawling!!

His crawl is not perfect, but it is still pretty fun to watch! He got so tired by the end of the night, but wanted to keep going after our computer! He has also started standing up, by holding on to the couch to pull himself up. Looks like we are going to have to start baby proofing the house!

My husband

Last Friday, Tyler planned a much needed date! Tyler took Mace over to Ben and Elizabeth's house while I got ready. Even though we were just going to stay home, I wanted to look good for Tyler. I wore a new shirt and the pearls Tyler gave me a few Christmases ago! Tyler made some SUPER yummy queso and burritos! We watched a movie and enjoyed some time being together with just the two of us.

It was so much fun! I am so lucky to have this man in my life! I love you Tyler!

Two Teeth and other Fun Stuff!

So the other day, Mace was gnawing on my fingers. Then all of a sudden, I felt something sharp! He had a tooth that just broke through the gums! Crazy how my baby changes so quickly! Now, he has another tooth growing right next to the first one! The picture makes it hard to see, but they are there!

Six Months Old

Mace is six months old today! I can't believe how fast time goes. We went to the doctor's office today. Poor Mace has an ear infection and got four shots! It is always so hard to watch him get shots. I thought that because I work in the hospital, it wouldn't be so hard, but it is.

Playing with the long lost rattle!

I love these fat legs!

I love that he still laughs and plays even when he isn't feeling that well!

He is such a fun little baby!
