Family Pics... AKA Macie's Tantrums

Thanks Nichole for putting up with our crazy little family!!!

Oh Happy Day!

So I finally got a new camera! Ryan bought it for me for an "early" birthday present! (Thanks Hun) So it looks like I might be doing some blogging soon. That is if I can remember how. haha Stay tuned.

No Camera = No Posts :(

So obviously I have not posted any pictures for over 3 months, this is due to lack of a camera. Ours officially broke and we no longer have one. I am HOPING for one for christmas... (honey, I hope you're reading this)... But until then, I probably won't be posting any pictures anytime soon. But don't give up on our blog completely. Check back every now and again and before you know it, I just might have a camera or a new post. Thanks for stopping by... Until next time... :)

31...

My hubby is officially old. He turned 31 yesterday! Just wanted to wish him a happy birthday and let him know that i am so glad that he was borned. :) lol
Love ya babe!

5 new posts!

Here's what we've been doing so far this summer...

Millie & Nix

Millie and her friend Pheonix were playing the other night when I put them both on the floor next to each other. I could not believe my eyes. Millie is 5 1/2 months old and Nix is 2 1/2 months old. This picture just reaffirms how SMALL Millie really is.

Camping

We went camping last weekend and had a BLAST! A little too short, but still lots of fun. We had to try out our new tent & cooler we got for Christmas! (Thanks parents!) They both were great. We found a little spot to park, and started setting up camp. We made a fire and had dinner. Then we watched a movie on our portable DVD player. We went to sleep until Macie woke up the ENTIRE wilderness at 5:45am. She would NOT go back to sleep and so Ryan decided to take her out of the tent and build a fire. She found a stick and kept putting the end of it in the fire and then making smoke signals with it. :) Then Ryan took her on a hike while me & Millie were still sleeping in the tent. They saw a deer and she was so excited to tell me all about it. Thanks hunny for letting me "make sure that Millie was okay in the tent all by herself." :)

Fishing with Daddy

Daddy took us 3 girls fishing! We caught a couple fish. Not our best night that's for sure, but still a lot of fun. It started to get a little stormy on us so we packed up and left. Macie loved it and wanted to go swimming in the lake. :) Millie was just crying & crying and FINALLY cried herself to sleep in the truck while we fished without her. Maybe next time Millie will get to catch a fish of her own.








This picture is priceless... probably my all time favorite! :)

Memorial Day Weekend

We went to our friends cabin for Memorial Day Weekend. It was so much fun. Thanks for inviting us guys! :) We took Ryan's brother's rhino (Thanks Matt!) and Macie could NOT get enough! She just kept saying "ride. ride. drive. drive." That's ALL she wanted to do. It was so beautiful out their and we had lots of fun!

Canyon FUN!

The Marchbanks family went up the canyon for a good old fashioned bbq. We roasted hot dogs on the fire and had smores. Macie just loves being outdoors and always has such a great time.


Me & Jen

Macie probably telling us a joke or a story...


Love birds


Macie and her cousin Audrey had this paint brush & a cup of water. They were pretending to paint their fingernails with it. It was so cute.

to Him...

My heart is warm today as I ponder & think about the one I care most about. My Hubby. He is an amazing father and husband. This post is dedicated to Him. He has been working so hard & gone quite a bit trying to provide for his family. We do notice and are oh so grateful. There is nothing I could say right now to truly express the LOVE & feelings I have for him. He is definately one of a kind and MY one of a kind. I know I am with him for a reason and that God was watching out for me. I am lucky. I am happy. And I am in Love. What more could a girl want??

Outside FUN!

Tonight we played outside. We fed the chickens, jumped on the tramp, swung on the swing, watered the garden, and played on the slide. It was so fun. Macie just LOVES being outside and Millie is liking it more and more everyday! I'm so glad it's getting closer and closer to SUMMER!

Macie turns 2...

Family Party...

We had everyone over for dinner and had a fun little family birthday party. Thanks Mom and Dad and Heidi and Lars for coming! Also thanks to everyone on the Marchbanks side who came! We had a really fun time and lots to talk about as usual. Also thanks for all of the gifts! She definately got spoiled rotten!



Larson family (don't know where Lars is)


Proud daddy!

Ryan on one of his tangents!

Friends Birthday Party

Macie had a really fun birthday this year. She had a friends party at good ol mickey d's. It was great for me cause I didn't have to clean my house, clean up after the kiddos, or hardly watch them because they played on the toys the whole time. Thanks for everyone who came and thanks for the fun gifts! That was so nice of you! Macie had a great time and here a just a few pics of the fun day!








It's my party...I can cry if I want to!

Cry if I want to...

Build - A - Bear

So for Macie's birthday Granny Terry took her to Build a Bear. Macie walked in and was in heaven...until all YOU KNOW WHAT broke loose. She first picked out a bear, then stuffed her, she even gave her a bath. We picked out clothes for the bear to wear home and got her a birth certificate. Everything was going great until Macie wanted to push Millie's stroller! She would NOT let it go. So we hurried and finished up cause she was making a complete fool out of herself and ME! I wanted to fly right out of that place. Then she decided to throw a tantrum. Then came the time out. (Thanks pa pa) Grandpa took her out of that store so fast and set her on a chair in the middle of the mall for her time out. She seriously must have sat their for 30 minutes just bawling and bawling. Granny and I decided to go shopping at forever 21. We could hear her screaming the whole time. How embarassing! People were walking by wondering what the heck was going on. I guess when they say terrible 2's they mean it! So much for a fun day at build a bear. Thanks granny and pa pa for making it fun for me.

Princess Macie

We sat FOREVER trying to get a cute picture of Macie with all of her princess stuff on. Here are just a few...

Jazz vs Clippers

Tonight we went to the Jazz game. Ryan's work gave us tickets. Thanks BV! It was so fun. We dropped the girls off at my parents house and headed up to Salt Lake. (Thanks Mom & Dad...and I'm sure Heidi & Lars too! :)) They killed em. Some of the players almost got in a fight...I kind of wish they would have to make it a little more exciting! But overall it was a great game! Thanks hunny for taking me on such a fun date!

"Hoppy" Easter everyone!

Every year "Granny Terry" has her annual Easter Egg Hunt. The kids just love it! Not to mention she hides CASH in the eggs! My girls ended up with $10 bucks out of the $21. Jackpot. If only we could have an Easter Egg hunt once a week. lol Thanks Granny Terry!


Her hair obviously wasn't done yet in this picture! :)

P.S. I love Angie's face in this one...

Can you believe how small she is that she can fit almost her whole body into this little Easter bucket???

Random Pics...

Macie is absolutely OBSESSED with this hat that she got from her bff Asher yesterday! (Thanks!) She wants to wear it to bed, wear it in the bath, and wear it right when she gets out of bed in the morning!




I looked back in the car the other day and this is what I saw...

Another thing Macie is OBSESSED with is her sunglasses. Everytime we go ANYWHERE she has to make sure that she has them with her. :)


This was when we got together for Lars birthday. Sorry Fielding I don't know where you're hiding at...but here is the rest of the Grandkids. Left to Right... Larson, new baby Greta, Macie & Millie


Millie was asleep like this the other day in her swing. I don't know how she can breathe, but I'm glad she was still alive. How cute are those little feet???


Millie just looked so cute in this little hat that I HAD to take a picture even though she was SCREAMING at the top of her lungs! (Thanks Annie!)


Macie wanted Millie to sleep with her the other night so we put her in the crib. Macie got real tired of her real quick!


Mom trying to teach Macie to say "Peace Out!"

Snowmobiling Adventure

The other day Ryan and I went snowmobiling up at Timberlakes. We got a sitter for the kids and we were on our way! (Thanks Kristi) It was such a nice day and so much POWDER!!! I could hardly turn mine. Then Ryan went a couple days later with his brother and his buddies. I'm not gonna lie...he's getting pretty good on that thing. Sometimes I get a little worried, but he always seems to make it back home safe and sound.

Play date with Daddy...

The other day Ryan took the girls on a little play date. They went to the park and played...and they went to go see the "hoesie." Watch out boys, Macie is one tough cookie! Thanks for being such a great Dad babe! :)

Tubby Time!

Macie just LOVES taking baths! She always has. Recently I have been throwing Millie in there with her. She was a little skeptical at first, but now she loves being able to splash around with her little sis. She even helps me wash her hair.

Check it out...

How cute are those???

Thanks Jen! :)

No more MULLET!!!

Macie and her FIRST haircut! Yes...I did say first! She has never had much hair and so we kept all that she had. Now the mullet is gone. Just a cute little trim is all it took, and the straggly bangs are gone too. Now when she gets in trouble she can't try to hide behind them and look down. She held pretty still during the whole thing as long as she had a sucker in hand. We went through two of them. :)






This picture was BEFORE the haircut. She was so proud and excited!

3 NEW POSTS! FINALLY!!! :)

Millie's Blessing

First of all we want to thank all of our family & friends who came to share this special day with us! Thanks for helping with food, traveling, and simply being there! It means a lot to us!

Macie playing house...only with a REAL doll!

This stroller is for her baby dolls...it's the smallest thing EVER! We couldn't believe that Mille just fit right in it like it was made for her.





Can't wait to go outside and go for a real walk!

Random Pics...

Here are just some random pics...

Macie ate a blue laffy taffy and thought that it was the funniest thing that her tongue turned blue. She kept looking in the mirrior to see if it was still blue.

Macie loves Millie more than anything! It's so cute...she always wants to help with EVERYTHING! She's such a good big sister!





I came home from the gym one morning and this is what I found in my bed...

How cute is that???

A shoutout to my little MACIE girl!

I am about to have another baby...as I'm sure most of you all know. 12 days is the longest I can go. However 12 days seems like an eternity away. I am so ready! I thought I would post a few things that I LOVE so much about my little MACIE girl before she isn't the only child anymore. Here are just a few...

-She always says, "Oh WOW!" with such enthusiasm.
-She loves it when I tickle her back, arms, & legs. She gets this one from her daddy.
-How she loves to talk on the phone...or even pretend to talk on the phone.
-How she loves to take baths with me & isn't afraid of how SCARY I look right now.
-Whenever she gets hurt she comes runny to me crying & saying ouie ouie ouie and wants me to hold her and kiss it better for her.
-She loves it when I take her outside to play. (saying side, side while pointing out the back door)
-Last but not least, how she loves me no matter what! (Well...most of the time that is!) :)

I can't wait to have another little girly around the house...but I'm sure gonna miss the times it was just me and little Macie...my best buddy.

TWILIGHT = AMAZING!!!

November???

So I can't believe that it's already November! Where has the time gone? I have less than 6 weeks left before another little rugrat comes into the world! I couldn't be more excited! I have so many pictures that I need to post of the last few months. Hopefully I will get to that soon. Just thought I would say how excited I am to have another one before Christmas time!

52 days...

So I had a Doctors appointment & they told me that they will be inducing me on December 15th if I haven't had her by then! That's only 52 days away! I'm excited & terrified at the same time. I better get my Christmas shopping done now while I can still see my feet! :)

Friends Easter Egg Hunt...

She was more interested in the leaves and the "dirt terds" in the grass, then in her Easter Eggs. :)

I am a GOLD girl...what COLOR are you???

You Are A Gold Girl

You're dependable and hard working. You never miss a deadline - and you're never late. You have a clear sense of right and wrong. You're very detail oriented. You get frustrated when your friends are sloppy - or when they don't follow through. You're on top of things, and you wish that everyone else was!

What Color Girl Are You?

Snack Pack Woman!

Macie is in LOVE with chocolate snack packs...ya I know, real healthy! She could eat 10 a day if I let her. I should have never introduced them to her! :)

Peek-a-boo

Macie loves to play peek-a-boo with me! She also loves to tilt her head to the side when someone is looking at her. It is kind of her way of saying HELLO!

3 Year Anniversary!!!

So today is our 3 year anniversary! March 4, 2008! We went to Park City Resort on Saturday & went snowboarding!!! We also road the Alpine Coaster! We had a blast & it was nice to have a day ALONE!!!

Tutu Girl!

Macie's new sweat outfit...

Thanks Grandpa & Grandma! :)

HAPPY VALENTINES DAY!!!

Ryan brought these home for me for Valentines Day! They are so pretty! Then he took me to The Tree Room up at Sundance for dinner! I felt like a Princess! It was so good! Thanks babe! :) Love ya & Happy Valentines Day!



Flowers for Macie...Ryan brought these home from work for Macie for Valentines Day! She loves to smell them & pick them & put them in her mouth! :)



So when Ryan got home from work...the door to his office was closed & said "Happy Valentines Day! Love Heather" When he opened it...this is what he found!



A brand new snowboard, boots, bindings & gloves! He was so excited! :) He said I did a great job picking them out!

Going to CHURCH!

We thought we'd get her a little Valentine's Day dress!



Macie just loves going to church! (Even though she's out in the hall for the majority of the time!) :)

Before I went to bed

So I always check on Macie before I go to bed. I went in her room and looked down at her in her crib, she somehow got her arm out of her pajamas!!! Don't ask me how, but she was sound asleep so I decided to let her sleep and fix it in the morning! SO CUTE!!!

37th Wedding Anniversary

Me & my best buddy!



All of the cousins except for Abby & Audrey! We miss you guys! :)



Hal & Terry Marchbanks. What a cute couple! Couldn't ask for a better father & mother in law.



Everyone went to Buca Di Beppo for Hal & Terry's (Ryan's parents) 37th Wedding Anniversary! It was so great to see everyone! We were sad that Levi, Becca & the girls missed it though. :( They live in Spokane, Washington for the time being.

On the way home...

Macie was SO TIRED on the way home that she pulled her bow down over her eyes & fell asleep! It was so cute when we opened the door to get her out that we HAD to take a few pics!!! :)

Tag...I'm it!!!

Jessica tagged me so...here it is! :)

A. The rules of the game are posted at the beginning.
B. Each player answers the questions about themselves.
C. At the end of the post, the player then tags 5 people and posts their names, and then goes to their blogs and leaves a comment, letting them know that hey have been tagged and that they should read your blog.

10 years ago...I was 12 years old and so excited to be in Young Womans! Graduating Primary was so exciting! :) I think I started shaving my legs and wearing makeup.

5 things on my to-do list today...#1-pack for our snowmobiling trip. #2-go grocery shopping for our snowmobiling trip. #3-do the laundry for our snowmobiling trip. #4-Give Macie a bath so that she doesn't stink on our snowmobiling trip. #5-shave my legs so that I don't have to on our snowmobiling trip! :)

snacks that I enjoy...I enjoy eating carbs!!! That's a snack for me right now because I am on a low carb diet! Not too fun! :)

What would I do if I were suddenly a billionaire...I would first pay off my condo. Then I would pay off my car & our student loans. I would then give some to my brother-in-law Matt to trade on the stock market. Invest some & put some in a retirement plan. SHOP!!! SHOP!!! SHOP!!!

3 of my bad habits are...I bite my nails, I use too much laundry detergant for my clothes, and I call Ryan too much while he is at work! :) Sorry BABE!!!

5 places I have lived...Salt Lake City UTAH, Sugar City IDAHO (about 5 minutes from Rexburg), American Fork UTAH, Pleasant Grove UTAH, & Apple Valley MINNESOTA. Pretty EXCITING ha?

5 things people don't know about me...I hate drinking milk. (The only way I can have it, is if it's in my cereal.) I love to organize things. I wish I would have gone to college for Interior Design after I finished Cosmetology School. I HATE fish. I LOVE taking baths!

I tag...Jayni, Cedar, Cassie, Millie & ALL of my sister-in-laws!!! :)

Grand Targhee Trip!!!

Every year my side of the family, (the Larson's) go on a snowboarding/skiing trip to Grand Targhee! This was our 3rd year. The Tetons are amazing & the snowboarding's even better! Here are a few pictures of this years trip...


The Grand Tetons! What an AWESOME place!
