Temple lights

The weekend before Christmas, Jeff and I took Maylee to see the temple lights.  We thought about calling friends/family to go with us, but figured most people already had plans since we decided last mintue- so we headed out on our own.  To add to the evening we went to, the one-and-only, Cafe Rio (anytime we are out in the east valley we love to eat there!)  As we were eating, Jeff looked up and said, "Heidi, you won't believe who just walked in".  Into Cafe Rio walked Rob, April, and the kiddos!  They decided to go to the temple lights last minute as well!  What are the chances?!  We had a fun time looking at the lights and had the extra bonus of being with family! (Another plus- they could take pictures for us!)

Merry Christmas!

I couldn't resist doing a Christmas "photo shoot" of Maylee! It is so hard to get pictures of her now that she is always moving, but we were able to get a few. I love them!

THANKSGIVING...

We are getting ready for the big feast. Maylee found a little treat for herself... celery sticks... yum!
Enjoying the big dinner! (There is that celery stick again!)
Maylee and her cousin Anna already excited for Christmas!

Here are some pics from Thanksgiving. We went to Scott and Annette's house in California. We had a great time with family and even saw some good rain storms. Maylee was great with the traveling!

Laveen Turkey Trot

Jeff and I ran the 5K Turkey Trot on Nov. 22nd. It was my first race! We both reached our time goals! We had a good time. One of Jeff's co-workers was so nice and babysat Maylee for us at the finish line! I could get into doing more races ( I think I'll stick to 5Ks!) It was good motivation- I was running a lot more the closer we got to the date of the race and wanting to improve on my pace.

Maylee's BIG Day!

Maylee turned 5 months on Nov. 6th and decided it was time to bust out some new skills. It was an eventful day!

ROLLING OVER
I put her down for some tummy time and looked away for just a second. When I turned around she was on her back! Of course once I got the camera she wouldn't do it again, but we were able to catch it on video the next day. Check her out...



SITTING UP
She also started to sit up on her own (with supervision just in case she gets a little wobbly).


FIRST FEEDING

She was not (and still isn't) so sure about the rice cereal. I love the facial expressions she makes as she tries to figure out what she is supposed to do with it once it is in her mouth.

We dressed Maylee up for our ward fall festival. Some people got her confused with a cow but she was a dalmation!
