Where's Macy?

My baby is becoming quite the adventurer!!!!! I keep finding her in the most random places crawling or exploring in her awesome new walker (THANKS ABBY!!!!!). She cracks me up.

A trip to see Grandpa Gary and Ta-Ta Ellie!

Gabe's parents, Gary and Ellie are probably moving in a month or so and although we are very happy they have sold their house and bought another, that they love in Utah, we will miss them!!!! We headed over the other day to see them and have a chat and it was like Macy had never been apart from their dog, Bailey. They are pretty much best friends. Ellie had my camera in hand the whole time and got some very cute shots.
Macy wouldn't even eat she was so in love with this dog. They even howled at each other!





I got a box-full of fun stuff that Ellie was getting rid of, one thing was this awesome hat to go in the dress-up box! We got home and Gabe said, "Look!" and Macy was doing this exact face!!!!! Precious. I love this picture, I'm going to frame it! Ha!

Accountability time:

Down 1 pound this week. Pretty good considering I ate "out" almost the whole time! No desserts, but went over calories a couple days. Back on track as of yesterday... goal for this week: 2 pounds!

Holls and Harps!

Holly and Harper (Holls and Harps) came by today for a quick visit! It was so good to see them, as usual, and Macy just lit up when she spied Harper!!! They are only 3 weeks apart and although Macy is older, you wouldn't know it looking at them!!! SO cute to watch them play together and interact...I love it!
The girls did this all on their own. They are both very into books right now and were talking while they both read!
Macy examining The Harp's new shoes. She was very into these shoes. :)
What a doll!
Harper has 5 teeth, is now in the next car seat up, sits for looong periods of time and is wearing 18 month clothes! Macy? No teeth, still in the infant car seat, she can sit, but won't for very long, and is wearing 9 month or 12 month clothes. She's still older! Ha!
This was the funniest. They took turns crinkling and sharing the wipes. Harper doesn't get these kind at home (Holls uses the Huggie kind in the hard pack) and LOVED our wipes and all the noise it makes. Note to self. Save Holly an almost empty to add to her toy-box! :)

Thanks for coming over gals! We love having you!

What a Weekend!

September 11, my parent's anniversary, Gabe and I took off for Seattle and our first overnight trip away from Macy since she's been born! I was a little nervous how I'd feel going to sleep without knowing she was close by... but thanks to my Mom (and Katie and Dad) for taking such great care of our baby! Here she is as we left and Mom was taking her for a walk...

Gabe and I got to Seattle, left our bag at the hotel (The Best Western right by the Space Needle and I'd highly recommend it if you want to go to the city for a night) and walked downtown to have lunch at the Cheesecake Factory, probably my all-time favorite restaurant. We had a great lunch, then split up so Gabe could head back to the hotel and meet my Dad for the Husky game! I got to go shopping with no time limit or responsibility!!!!!! What a day!!!!! I spent a lot of time in H&M and Nordstrom Rack and found some awesome deals on adorable clothes.

While in the H&M dressing room I heard a guy next door come out of his dressing room to show his friend a coat. The friend was telling him he looked good and the guy goes, "I just saw this coat from 6 angles and I didn't look good in any of them." :)

I ended up back at the hotel at 5:30 PM and settled in, ordered a pizza, and read my book. It was soooo fun, just what I wanted to do! I also took a nap before Gabe got home announcing, the Huskies won!!!!!!

Sunday we slept in, packed up, grabbed breakfast at the hotel. While we were checking out these two guys in Seahawk gear walked past, one kind of skipping, saying, "It's like Christmas! I LOVE this time of year!!!!" :)

Gabe dropped me at Pike Place and I got some gorgeous flowers and wandered for a few minutes and then we headed to Quest Field to mosey our way to the Seahawk's first game of the season.

Going to a Seahawk's Game is like viewing a different culture. It's super fun, (and I'm not even a football fan!) incredibly LOUD, and very entertaining. Just people watching makes this yearly trip a blast for me. This pic was taken in the convention center thing. Unreal the amount of people that show up for these games!
Gabe and I have gone to 1 game every year since we met, except for the year we got married. We were trying to remember how many we've been to and think it's been 6! Crazy! I usually get tickets for Gabe's birthday and the last two years he's been able to hit a Husky game the same weekend. Go figure, both weekends we've been down, BOTH teams won!!!! This year, a friend at work finally got season tickets and couldn't go to every home game so Gabe bought the tickets from him. We were in the season ticket holder section and boy were our neighbors there dramatic! During the second quarter the guy next to me got served divorce papers!!!!!

A present for Macy :) She got new Seahawk jammies too. :)

Check out the guy in the upper right!

Half-time show.
Love you honey! Thanks for the awesome weekend away and all the memories! 2010 was the best year yet!

A fun Friday

Heather left Friday so we met her for coffee on her way out of town. It was so good to see her and spend so much time together. It's weird to think the next time she's in town, Macy will probably be walking! Augh!

PS: This is another "Heather" outfit. :)
After coffee we headed to my Grammy's house so I could clean, and Mom was there! We hooked her up with the Baby Bjorn so she could take Macy to pick some apples. It started pouring rain, though, so they were back in no time.

This was the first time Macy has napped through the whole time I'm cleaning. 2 hours straight, what a baby! Wish she would do that at home and I felt motivated enough to clean!!!!! :)

Weekly update:

This week down 2 pounds!!! That is 7 in total... onto week #3!
