One year old!

Last weekend we celebrated Macie's 1st birthday. A whole year has gone by and I can't speak for Wende, but it has been the fastest year of my life.










The day started out a little rough because Macie didn't think she needed to take a morning nap and then got tired about the time the party started. No sleep coupled with a little incident of sun screen in the eyes, started things out a little rough. A quick power nap on mama's shoulder made everything better and the rest of the party went off without a hitch.













Lots of great friends and family showed up to help us celebrate.

Go to your....kennel?

On a previous post I mentioned that Macie is crawling everywhere. Well she is really crawling all over the place. She even crawled into Tiki's kennel and closed the door this week. She thought it was hilarious. The more we laughed the more she laughed.

Back and forth

Sunday morning video of Macie that we wanted to share. She walks all over the house with her walker, but just won't take that step on her own. She is so close to crusing on her own.

Little red dress

We wanted to share some pictures of our recent trip to San Diego. Macie got to spend a little time with her uncles and Grandparents Scholzen.

My dad shot the Easter Bunny

When I was a kid we celebrated Easter like most Christian kids. We got up went on an Easter egg hunt, usually in our backyard, then went to church. By the time I was 12 or 13, my dad thought we were old enough that we didn't need to believe in the Easter Bunny anymore. So, that Easter morning he woke us up with shotgun in hand and told us "No more Easter Bunny, I shot him". Even though he took it upon himself to snuff out another holiday icon (I won't tell you what he did to Santa), I still believe. This morning our daughter got to start her many years of learning what these important holidays are all about - candy!

Here are a few pics from Macie's first backyard Easter egg hunt and her cute little dress that grandma bought her. One more milestone note, she took her first couple of solo steps between me and Wende. She is so close to walking on her own it's scary. Happy Easter to you all.

One step closer to walking

A new video of Macie cruising along with her toy walker. She loves walking all over the house. Here are some pictures of her from this past weekend at her cousin Brooklyn's birthday party.

Also a couple of pictures of her newest cousin Stockton Motiee who came to visit from Salt Lake.

Weather Jimmy Buffett would enjoy

Ahhhhhh.....It has finally arrived. Springtime, that illustrious two week period in AZ before it feels like we are living on the sun. Macie is ready with shorts and flip flops on. Now we just need a pool or a beach.






A little high five action!
