Time for an UPDATE!!!

I thought I better post a little update on what's been happening the last few months before I go into labor and get even farther behind on our blog!

So here's the first big and exciting thing that's happened. Beginning of November we moved into our new house. We are are absolutely loving it, and will post some pictures once we get things a little more organized. (When will that be??? Possibly never...atleast it feels that way!)
We had the priviledge this year of having Alan's parents, brother Aaron, and sister Angela come for Christmas. We are so grateful they did and had so much fun with them.

Macey enjoyed all the attention, and loved to have even more people she could climb on and drag around.

This is a picture of Jim and Macey trying out the skateboard ramps at the park down the road. They looked like they were having fun.

It was fun to watch how excited Macey was about her gifts!

Alan and Ange by the tree...awh how cute!

Here's Aaron and Al...this is the first we've seen of Aaron since he's been back from his mission. It was great to see him.

Grandpa and Macey having a little bit to eat!

Jim and Julene just looked so cozy sitting by the fireplace drinking their hot coco I had to take a picture. Excuse the yellow blob on the wall, we didn't get around to painting that room before Christmas. What do you think of the color!

Well we made the switch from crib to toddler bed. It was a hard decision, but when we had two nights in a row where she woke up and fell out of her crib while climbing out, we decided it had to be done.

She now loves her big girl bed and sleeps pretty well in it.

At the beginning of December we went with some friends up to their cabin. There wasn't much snow, but it was tons of fun.

October

We went to the Seattle Zoo for the weekend

It was a little rainy but very worth it. Macey was worn out by the end.

Alan and I had tons of fun playing the role of "Lucy Legs" and "Elvis" in a murder mystery game put on by some friends. Alan won best dressed, and I was the only one who guessed correctly who the murderer was!

I made tons of fresh apple cider with our friends apple press and some free apples! YUM!

Due to popular request here is a picture of our little Unicorn! We had to bribe/distract her with candy in order to get her costume on at first. Once she figured out that you get candy by going from house to house she totally forgot about the costume!

We went trick or treating with some friends of ours.

Our GIANT Pumpkin

Our neighbors parents grew pumpkins and had a few HUGE ones. We thought the one our neighbor had was awesome. This morning when I came outside we had this pumpkin sitting on our door step. Macey thought it was pretty awesome. I can't wait for all the yummy pumpkin seeds!I asked Macey if she loved the pumpkin, and the next thing I know she's kissing it!

Has it really been 10 years?!!!

I had my 10 year high school reunion just the other weekend. It was so much fun to get together with some of my good friends from high school. In a lot of ways it felt like nothing had changed!

Kearns baby #2 is a...

BOY!!!

Due January 22nd.

Camping

We went camping up by Mount Rainer last weekend with some friends. It was beautiful and tons of fun. Macey even slept through the night. That's better then Alan and I can say.

Ewww stinky

Macey is a lot like her dad in that she's very aware of smell. Most times when we change her diaper she plugs her nose and says ewww.She also waves her hand in front of her face and crinkles her nose.

Party with the parents!

Alan's parents, Jim and Julene came to visit us in Yakima for a couple of days. Despite the 104 degree days we all had a wonderful time.

Macey loved Grandma and Grandpa from the very beginning. As soon as they got to our house she jumped in Grandma's lap and wanted her to read a book.

We stopped by a local orchard and thought we'd check out how we looked as fruit.

Some people in our ward had a bunch of raspberry bushes, peach, and apricot trees that they said we could come pick fruit from.

I think both Grandpa and Macey ate about as much as we picked!

My parents had us all over for a barbecue. It was fun to see Macey run back and forth from one set of Grandparents to the next. She was loving it! You can see which side of the family Mace gets her height from!

By the end I think we did a thorough job of wearing ourselves out. We can't wait till Jim and Julene come back and visit again!

When we were at the beach on the 4th of July weekend my niece Anna had this purse that Macey LOVED, and so Anna gave it to her. (thanks Anna, we love you!) Macey carries it around with her all the time. The purse and Dolly are her favorite. Mace has kind of a weird smile in this picture 'cause she fell and has a huge FAT lip.

I also forgot to mention that my aunt provided ty-dye on our 4th of July vacation. Here's a picture of Macey in her sweet ty-dye onesie. She wanted the camera and was mad I was trying to take a picture with it.

Finally I let her play with one of our cameras while I took a picture with the other.
