Maycee the princess

I bought Maycee a new Sunday dress, and of course I had to take a few pictures; she was just too dang cute. I bought this dress at K-mart on clearance (it was 2 bucks!), so I needed to try it on and it was just right-maybe a little tiny too big, but she'll grow into it. I put it on her, and she told me, pretty, and then proceeded to tell everyone in the house, "preepree". She loves to dress pretty; she has it in her DNA. I haven't really pushed it, she just knows! Maycee is really our princess!

Well I'm not even sure what to write today...I'm feeling very humble, yet something is missing. We have sad news, but I have a hard time not being grateful for what I do have. Sunday night I miscarried our third baby. Yet through all the heartache, I am so thankful for my two wonderful children that I do have and that they are healthy. And only being 23, I still have a while before I am finished having babies. But it's still sad. Sometimes I am okay, other times I really feel the loss. Physically I still don't feel great, but I'm on the mend. We'll really be okay, but I thought I had better let everyone know, so when I am not pregnant next time we see each other, you won't wonder what happened. And like I have mentioned before I am so thankful for my two healthy babies and my wonderful husband. They've really helped me through this. I know everything happens for a reason, but sometimes it's hard to see the end result when you're right in the middle of things. But we'll survive, we've made it through lots already, as a family we are strong.

Circus, circus, we love the circus!

We went to the circus last night. Maycee stayed at Grandma Pam's while Ty, Justin, and I went to watch all the fun stuff. There were lions, tigers, and bears, OH MY! There were elephants too. Tyler and I got to ride on one. His name was Bimbo. Ty really wanted to ride the pony, but we can do that anytime here. Ty was just so excited (so was I!). About half way through the show, Ty wanted a drink. Well we had spent our money on a light up sword he had wanted-he knew that, but you know how 3 year olds are. So I found some change in my coat, and at intermission, we went on a hunt. We found a pop machine (I couldn't believe it was on!) and a 25 cent candy machine,and we got a treat and a pop for less than a dollar. Everything at the concessions was 3, so we made a steal. It was a good thing since the adult tickets were $16 a piece! But it was so worth it. We had lots of fun. Ty's favorite things were the elephant rides, the lions and tigers, and the poodles. They had a bunch of poodles, all sizes, dyed pink and blue. They did tricks, and Ty just thought it was so cool. (He liked that they were like his Linus buddy!) They had motorcycles driving in a big metal ball. There were lots of acrobatic people too. It was fun to get out with Ty and spend some time together!

Say Cheese!

I had to post this...in the mornings, in fact, most of the time, Maycee has her "pretties" on. I just happened to catch her looking like this! She even posed for the picture! I thought it was so cute and so funny. I had to share it! She loves to dress up and be pretty. Her daddy thinks she is a princess. (So do I!)
