I think we may have a problem...

Do you see that? I don't know what I am going to do! We have tried and tried to push the pacifier in her mouth but she just thinks it's a toy! AHHH!! She has a new found love and that is for the same two fingers on the same hand everytime!! Hopefully this is just a phase. One can only hope.

Gotta love the orange messy face! She is kinda cute with those fingers in!

Okay, so here are a few more pics from today of all the times I caught her! What a little stinker!! Mark is stressin out and trying to force the pacifier whenever he can...it's not working too well. Oh well, what do you do. She's just too darn cute to get mad! I LOVE this girl!!

I have a 5 year old?!!

How crazy does that sound! Now I am really starting to feel old! My baby boy turned 5 on December 31st!! AND WE PARTIED TIL MIDNIGHT!!We had a small family birthday party on New Years Eve and then we went to Chuck E. Cheese's the next day with all our family and cousins and Zach picked two friends, Ryan and Landen, to come too. I think we did plenty of partying for 2 days!











Zach is such a sweet little guy and he is such a joy to have in our family. He is an awesome big brother to his two little sisters and he is one of Mommy's best helpers at home. Zach loves going to Preschool 3 days a week and he is so eager to learn new things. He knows his whole alphabet by sight and sound and is writing his whole name and whatever else I will show him to write. He is also a perfectionist at coloring and has mastered the art of coloring in the lines! He loves to ride his bike and scooter and pretty much loves doing anything outdoors. He loves motorcycles, and riding his quad at Grandma and Grandpa's house. He is our rough and tough all around boy with a sweet sensitive big heart! We love you so much Zach!! Happy 5th Birthday!!

Christmas 2008!

Christmas pictures are finally here! This year we spent Christmas Eve up at Mark's parents house with his family for the day and evening and then we went home and had Christmas morning with our family and my brother Tyson and his family. So the next several pics are of Christmas Eve with the whole Stacy clan, minus Jeff and Brittany ( We missed you guys!!) Mark took Zach and Jeff and Justin up to the snow to go sledding somewhere and they seemed to have a blast even though it was freezing!!! I opted to stay home with the girls and stay warm and cozy by the fire. Anyways, after an incredible Prime Rib dinner (thanks to Grandma and Grandpa!), we tackled the presents and the kids loved getting to open presents even before Santa came!! What a treat!!











Kali's loving her Littlest Pet shop toy from Uncle Jeremy and Zach is lovin what he just opened up even though he really has no idea what he is holding in his hand!! His very first BB gun! AHHH!! Was my my first thought! This toy is for Grandma and Grandpa's house ONLY!! Thanks Uncle Jeremy :)





My three little munchkins in their new jammies! A tradition in my family growing up was that we always got to open one present on Christmas Eve and it was always new PJ's. We had a wonderful Christmas Eve with Mark's family and I am truly blessed to be married into such a great family!!


*********************************************************
We had Christmas morning at home with my brother Tyson and his family and then we all went over to Kristin and Neal's for a big breakfast and to open presents with them. This Christmas was so much fun with having so much family to be with. Although it was pretty chaotic and crazy most of the time, the kids really seemed to enjoy having all the cousins to play with and I really enjoyed having a brother and a sister to celebrate with this year too. These first two pics are of my kids stockings that my amazing mother-in-law made!! I had to show them off. Anyways, Kali, Zach and Madelyn seemed to really enjoy Christmas this year. It was so much fun seeing how excited they were about Santa coming and how amazed they were that Santa actually brought things that they wanted. We really had a great Christmas this year and I am sooooo very grateful for this time of year and how blessed we really are in so many ways.





Thanks Mema and Grandpa for the books and Jammies!! We love and missed you this year! Sorry I could only get Zach to pose for this one. As you can see I pretty much get Zach for everything because Kali would hide from the camera almost anytime I tried to take a pic! She's a little stinker when it comes to taking pictures.







Zach and Kali got a special big present from Mom and Dad this year. New Scooters! They love them and couldn't wait to get outside to ride them. Grandma and Grandpa Stacy came down on Christmas day for the afternoon and brought some fun gifts too! Thanks so much Grandma and Grandpa Stacy!! We love you!!

Almost crawling

Our sweet Madelyn is growing way too fast. She pretty much inches her way all over the floor and her favorite toy to find are these bead necklaces that she is so happily playing with. I'm sure they are a very bad choking hazard most of you are thinking. Haha! She is always supervised I promise!! I'm sure it won't be long until she is all over my house and I won't be able to keep up with her. For now, I am enjoying this fun stage and how much she loves sitting and rolling and inchworming her way around the living room. She is such a happy little girl and I just couldn't have asked for a better baby!



On all fours and rearin to go!! She is so close to crawling!
