I am grateful for Mylie

Mylie is honestly one of the smartest children I've ever met!! She is officially my first born :) I remember the day she was born I balled the first time I held her!  I remember a few nights that I would either stay at Sharie's or Sharie would sleep over I remember asking if I could get up with her in the middle of the night and rock her back to sleep.  My external hard drive has crashed and it is about 300$ to fix so I don't have all my old pictures but I probably have hundreds!!

These are just a few of the pictures I've taken over that last few months

I am Grateful for Jesse's Safe Return

This has easily been the highlight of the summer. I have been waiting to see Jesse for the last 2 years and this weekend has been more then I ever thought it would be. To say I loved spending time with the family would be the world's largest understatement! I cannot wait to see everyone again. It was such an amazing time I will always ALWAYS remember!!

Jesse said some hilarious things as he was adjusting to the american way of life... I didn't want to write them all so I will just include my favorite:

Jesse: Guess how much that I-pod would cost?!

Me: How much??

Jesse: 700 GHANA CEDES!!

me: holy cow!! how does that convert to U.S. dollars??

Jesse: uhh... what'd I say?? Honestly my favorite part of this weekend was just hanging out with everyone.. talking, catching up, teasing, laughing, the works.. it was great :)Braden got Jason and Jesse to read him the same air plane magazine and he got Dad to do it twice lol His latest phase is turning on and off all the lights... the only trouble is he's only tall enough to turn them off... It takes him like 10 minutes to stretch and strain and reach until he can get it back on

Saturday was a day for swimming with the fam :) while everyone was in the pool I got the chance to go run some errands with Jess. It was fun just to hang out and listen to some Hip Life Tunes with him!

Looking back at this picture she's frickin prego at that moment... WWWWOOOOWWWW!!!!

Just hanging out with the grandbabies was seriously half the fun this weekend! it's so hilarious to watch their little personalities develop and watch how they interact with eachother!! Of all the grandkids I would have to argue that Mylie's reuniting with Jesse was the Cutest!! She would literally just hug him for minutes at a time!

poor Brynlee took a "face plant" before coming down so she had a few small scabs on her little nosey :(

Still so cute it should be illegal!!

The grand kids all loved having Uncle Jesse home :) Jesse especially won over the hearts of his three little nieces this weekend... Bryn would just love to sit close to him or on his lap for no reason! it was very adorable!

Jesse and Brooklynn Although the goodbyes were tough to say the least it was so great to have everyone home for the weekend. I seriously can NOT wait until christmas to see everyone again!!

Today I'm grateful for Jesse's Safe Return and for a family that is an absolute blast to hang out with!

I am Grateful for Davis

Davis and I have not always gotten along. I used to get way too easily offended by his jokes but now few people can make me laugh harder. Davis is simply a well rounded person, what ever he tries at he's amazing at. He is incredible at math; he can work that cad computer like nobodies business at work! He can throw down a beat sicker then DJ felli fel and it only takes him 30 seconds. He's a great husband and incredible with kids. I can't wait to see how great of a Dad he is... anyways the whole entire point of this post is for me to post there oh so beautiful pictures I got from when we were skyping... When I'm ever having a bad day this always make me laugh... A LOT

Today I'm Grateful for Davis because of his positive, uplifting inluence he is in my life and the great example he is to me!

I am Grateful for Jacobisms

When Lisa went in to have the babies me, Mom and Dad got the boys for the weekend. I made a personal goal to write down everything hilarious Jakey said. This was about a month ago so it was before Bray ever really started talking so I didn't really have a lot of funny things Braden did. I'll be sure to put down anything funny he does to in the future cause he's talking like CrAzY these days!!

I climbed on top of the entertainment center to get Jacob's Ping Pong ball, when I threw it down to him he yells "woaaah!! I was lookin' for that thing in my pants!!"

Jacob Climbs up on Shannon's lap Shannon: Hi Jakey!! I've mised you!! Jacob: I Know.

We're at the hospital for the first time meeting the twins Jason: Time to let Becca have a turn Jacob: but we can still pet em!

Me: Jakey when we get to the hospital you need to be quiet Jacob: Why Me: Cause some people are sick and you don't wanna wake up any babies Jacob: I think you're... I think you're freakin' funny

Me: Here's your mac n cheese Jake Jacob: Are you kidding me?! This looks delicious!!

Jacob walks up to me and shows me an 'owie' on his finger so I kissed it Me: does it feel better? Jacob: (with one eye brow raised) no... you just kissed it

My dad was making Sunday dinner but stops, comes over to the couch and scares Jakey. Jacob: (very politely) Will you stop it please? Dad: maybe I won't Jacob: (Pointing to the kitchen) go make some food ya silly guy

Jacob: I just jumped off your bed, and landed on my feet! Me: Wow! You're like a cat. Jacob: (Rolls his eyes) No, I'm a superhero.

Mylie: blah blah, blah blah... blah (in the tune of follow the prophet) Me: That's Blaspheme Jacob: blass for YOU!!

The boys play so well together, taking turns.

On our way to the hospital to see the babies for the first time! The boys were SSOOO excited!! he kept repeating "babyyyy cue!" (baby cute) In the car I tilted the phone so that Braden could see himself and me in the camera.

Jakey playing Captain America!!

While we were waiting to go to the hospital I told jakey I would write his mom a letter if he would tell me what to say

"Dear Mommy, I have hear you, as I go, as I go, as I three, as i WAS three, as I was saying, and we are forgiven. That's what I just said. I love you, Jacod.

This picture is so adorable to me and I have no idea why!

I asked Jacob to tell me a story and this is what I got.

These two boys have brought so much joy into my life and I thank my Heavenly Father every day that he atleast let 2 of my precious 4 stay in Vegas with me!! I love them so much and can ALWYAS count on a good long laugh when I'm with boy (especially Jacob!!)

Today, I am grateful for Jacobsims :)

I am Grateful for TWINS!!

My Grandma MacKay once told me that before she had my dad she was terrified that she wouldn't be able to love anyone as much as my Uncle Dennis. She said at the time she simply couldn't imagine it, but she said when my dad was born she learned a very important lesson. "Love doesn't divide it multiplies" My brother and Sister in law recently had twins. I love it when new babies are added to the family because A. everyone comes home to see them B. there is no feeling on earth like holding a newborn for the first time and C. I love to see the love in my family multiply just like Grandma MacKay says it does.

Here's Lisa about a week before she had the twins!

Brooklynn Marie MacaKay was born first and has been sleeping since she arrived.

Next came Ethan Stewart MacKay. Bex is pouting because she doesn't have one yet haha The whole fandamly :)

They are sooo tiny!!

Ethan is usually more awake then Brook

This is a good scale of how freaking tiny these little guys are!

Ethan and I playing bank robber, I'm the one with the gun

Brooklyn is a sleeper!

ZZZZZZZZZZ

Brook is either boxing someone or supporting the Nazi's... you're call Brooklynn and Ethan have brought so many laughs and smiles into our lives already. I absoluetly cannont wait until they are old enough to walk and talk and I can start to get to know them even better. They're little personalities are already starting to come through and I love just holding them for hours!! Today I am grateful for Twins! :)
