Family Fun At The Harvest House

We finally made it out to Greenbluff so we could hit up the pumpkin patch at the Harvest House. It was an amazing day crazy sunny and warm if you were in the sun. The shade was mighty cold. At first Mae was confused but she got into the spirit of things and had fun with the little pumpkins.

Look how tall she is. I hope they have this every year so we can compare her height.
BOO!
We took a ride on the horse drawn wagon, we even sat on hay bales. Mae was ok with the horses as long as we didn't get to close to them. We ate all kinds of yummy things Italian sausage sandwich, Chile, and Apple Pie ala mode (we shared them all so we could try more things). We bought our pumpkins, and some apples. Listened to some really cheesy music (they have a house band). We just had a great day together as a family.

I had to put this one on here because they are making the same face. HE HE!

I Cried At Midnight

I cried at midnight when my baby turned 1. I didn't think that I was going to be so emotional about it but I was. It just blows my mind on how fast a year goes by. And not gonna lie I'm kinda freaked out about how fast the future years are going to flash before my eyes.

I just love her so much she has such an amazing personality, she is the girl who's going to make friends with everyone. But she also like to be kinda crazy too. My favorite is when she is running around the house like she owns the place, then you jump out at her and she screams and runs. So super cute. I have pics and stories of her birthday today and I hope that I will get them up tomorrow, but be patient its a big busy weekend. Thanks for all the Birthday wishes for Mae she appreciates them all!

You Should See The Other Guy

Maes face and head is really a magnent for the floor, sharp corners,
and cement. Pretty much every day she smacks her head on something.
Although Monday was the first cement road rash accident. It happend at
the track when we were visiting Sean during practice. She was having a
grand time running around and doing warm up drills with the athletes
(she really was). When smack down she goes with the cement as her
stopper. Had a good cry then was off to the races again. I believe
that the girl is kinda crazy.

One Year Appt

I cannot even believe that Mae is almost a year old. 2 days in fact. She had her one year appt today. All was well and it was one again confirmed that she is long and lean. 31 in and 19.5 lbs, 94th and 21st percentile. Her weight percentile did go up so that's good. I figured it had to the girl eats so much. Let's see what else oh yeah she can have whole milk now, so I'm gonna start doing that during the day instead of the boob juice. She is almost one I think it's time to start a little weening. She still gets the boob morning and night though. Neither of us is quite ready for it to be over yet. She had one shot today and screamed her little head off. So not fun. I love how hard she is concentrating on playing in her car seat bases. She had her feet positioned in little slots on the inside of the base. She fell over about 2 seconds after I took this picture. It was pretty funny.

Pumpkin Patch In September

Back in the beginning of September we got a call from Gpa Mac saying that the pumpkin patch was ready, and that we needed to get Mae out there for pics. I then called up Misty and begged and pleaded for her to come with us and take the pics. Thank goodness she did because they are awesome!

Once Misty was on I got Mae all decked out in her pumpkin tee, jeans, and boots. Then we headed out to the patch.

This wave was probably followed by a "hi".

WHAT?
So happy!
This one is amazing I love her eyes.
Mae Mae and Gpa Mac.

Photoshoot With Brook

As most of you know a photographer cant take pictures of themselves. So to fix that problem for Misty we asked my sister-in-law Brook who is also an awesome photographer. It just so happened that she was coming over on the same weekend that April was coming up. We set up a shoot and BAM a bunch of wonderful, amazing pictures of us and our girls! Thanks Brook we love the pics, and it was so much fun to do a shoot with you.

We headed downtown to this cute section and did all of the pics right there. The area had a lot of cool colors and textures.

All the girls. Aria was such a big help that morning with the little ones.

Love Love Love!
Hummm?
Jovie Ovie walking machine.
Finally the sistas!
I'm working on a slide show of a bunch more. It was hard to pick the ones to blog. I love them all!

Spokane Half Marathon

Today I ran the Spokane Half Marathon. It was freezing cold a whooping 28 degrees at the start of the race. But it was so fun.

The morning started off with a nice warm up from the house. We loaded Mae up in the stroller with tons of layers and headed on down. It was nice because it got the blood moving. We then met Brook (Sean's sis) who was watching Mae for us while we ran, handed off the babe. Then blast off the run begins. Now when I say it was cold I really mean it. A guy actually slipped on ICE during the first mile. I ran with my friend Katie who was great company the first half of the race. then she took off for the second half. I kept my miles pretty consistent (minus doomsday hill). I finished with a time of 2 hrs 3 mins. About 8 minutes faster then the CDA Half in May, so I was stoked about that, especially because this course was harder (more hills). While I was running that Sean did the 5 miler as a nice training run for a race he is doing in December.

My bro Josh and his wife Shannon also ran the race today. And finished in 2 hrs 24 mins. I'm so proud of them! This is them finishing.
The runners after the race and so happy to be done!
It was nice to run today because both Sean and I had family in town and most of them made it for the finish. Gma Mac, Brook, Geoff, April, Jovie, Gma J, Pappa J, Misty, Clara, and Michael.

Jovie looks so cute in her puffy coat.
All done and do ready for hot coco! Michael looks pretty cold in his suit.
All in all it was an awesome race, and I think I might make this my yearly half. Yup I enjoyed it that much.

Attach Of The Killer Sweatshirt

Sean was in charge of designing the sweatshirts this year. He was pretty stoked to get to do it. So when they were done he brought his home, and Mae got to model it. Obviously it was way to big, but oh so cute.

Its eating her alive.
Shes out, thank goodness.
And now shes going to eat it. She has to get back at it somehow.

New Video Blog

I have started another blog for you all to check out. A video Blog site. I wanted to do that so that I could post videos of Mae but still be able to print off this blog into a book at the end of the year. And not have holes in it from the video. To fix that I just started a new blog instead for videos only. CHECK it out mackattackonthemove.blogspot.com enjoy watching the crazy Mae. I put a link to the blog in the upper right corner titled Video Blog.

Boots

Yesterday I was at the Gap getting Maes Halloween costume and I
decided to look around and oogle all the cute clothes. When I turned
the corner and WHAM cutest boots ever. She is my little winter snow
bunny and I love it. Oh and the leggings Sean loved so I waited for
them to go on sale and they finally did so she is styling now. Imagin
this outfit with a cute skirt and top love it.
