We just got back from our trip to Disney World. It was wonderful! Not only was the weather beautiful (temps in the 70-80s), I was once again part of a co-parenting relationship! We got to spend 7 full days in Orlando, 5 were spent at Disney parks, 1 was spent at Universal and we had 1 low key day at the resort.</div>
<div align="center">
</div>
<div align="center">
We didn't arrive in Orlando until 10:00pm, we met up with Chris at the airport and went straight to the hotel. The first night we stayed at Disney's Caribbean Beach Resort in a Pirate Themed Room. The boys and even Belle loved this! She kept trying to steer the bed.</div>

Our first day was spent at Animal Kingdom. The day was warm, but rainy, so much better than snow. I did have to remind the boys of this fact several times through out the day! Jack caught a bug and wasn't feeling the best, but was a trooper anyway! Due to the rain, we saw more animals on the Kilimanjaro Safari ride than I have ever seen out! We made today a shorter day as we were all a little tired from the travel day the day before. We also had to check into our condo for the week, so wanted to allow time for that.</div>

Day 2 was spent at EPCOT. It was a wonderfully warm day! However Corbin caught the bug today and wasn't feeling well. The day was again cut a little shorter than we had thought due to little ones not feeling well, but we still had fun and took in some great attractions.</div>

Isabella is 9 months old, and all those others! As I had my boys birthdays the last two months and I can only post once a month (just kidding, but it seems that way!) I will just post all three together!</div>
<div align="center">
</div>
<div align="center">
Miss Belle is now on the go, she has mastered crawling and will get into anything that she can find or was left out! She likes stairs (so we know have a gate up), she has also found the floor lamp and has pulled it over on several occasions already.</div>
<div align="center">
</div>
<div align="center">
She is standing up and pulling herself up on everything. She thinks she should be able to walk, but does not have the balance figure out yet, although I'm not sure it will take long, she can stand longer by herself every day.</div>
<div align="center">
</div>
<div align="center">
She likes to feed herself, but she still eats baby food most of the times, so that I make sure she is getting the nutrition that she needs. She also has 3 teeth now, but I'm sure more are on the way!</div>
<div align="center">
</div>
<div align="center">
She continues to amaze us with all she is learning daily. And keep your eyes open on etsy as she has been modeling now stop lately and may even pop up in a few other places if you watch close enough!</div>

Yesterday my original baby turned 5! I can't believe that 5 years have past since I became a mom. Jack has filled our life with lots of smiles, laughter and some serious thought at times! (He can already back us into a corner with his questions and statements, and he doesn't forget ANYTHING!) There is no fooling this kid!</div>

Corbin is 3 today! I can't believe he is this old already! He is turning into an adorable and energetic little guy. Last week we had a Toy Story party for him. (I'll post later on the party) For now I just wanted to wish my little guy a very Happy Birthday!</div>

She is now sitting like an old pro and only on occasion falls over. Mostly when her brothers run past her in the opposite direction that she is facing. (which they do a lot!) She has started eating 3 meals of food a day. She has tried carrots, squash, sweet potatoes, green beans and peas and she LOVES them all. She cries when the food is gone almost every time! Jack is enjoying picking which food she will get to try next (he can't wait for the fruit!) He likes to line them all up and look at what she is able to eat.</div>

She has also become a momma's girl and will be perfectly content with anyone else and then see me walk by and she will start to whimper or cry. Although this warms my heart greatly, it can make for getting things done a little trickier! </div>

She had a modeling assignment that she got a "It's my 1/2 Birthday!" shirt, so I made her a cake to have in the photos. She loved to put her fingers in the frosting, but to my surprise she didn't once put her fingers in her mouth and try it! I was happy about that, but hope at her cake smash shoot at 1 year she will dig in!<br />

Belle is 5 months, well really she's almost 6 months, but with the chaos that surrounds our house (mostly good chaos) I don't get a lot of time to blog! I will attempt to be better at this, as well as blogging about the boys. There have been several comments about the fact that it seems I only have one child these days! I do what I can people!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Belle is now a master roller, which means almost everything needs to be up off the floor or it will find its way into her mouth. Jack does pretty well with this, Corbin on the other hand could care less! We're working hard on this before we find ourselves on a trip to the ER. I fully expect to visit there again, but I'm sure it will be because Corbin (the monkey) will need stitches or a cast on something. Not for miss Belle!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
My grandma used to say if I had a tail I would be a monkey and I feel the same about Corbin!</div>

Belle finally had her 4 month check up, only a month and a half late. She is in the 97th percentile for height and head size and the 60th for weight. She now weighs 16lbs. 11oz. Somewhere I have written that she weighed 17 lbs last month, so clearly I don't know how to use our scale. This could mean two things, I'm so sleeper deprived I can't read the numbers properly or I really weigh less then what my scale says! I hope it's the latter! </div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
That's right I'm sleep deprived! Miss Belle has decided to ditch the sleeping through the night idea and get up several times :( She is currently eating oatmeal 2 times a day, and will soon be adding another meal as well as some veggies! She's growing a little more each day, and has currently said "ma ma". Another check mark on her bucket list!</div>

I weighed her
last week and she is now up to 17 lbs. and wears 9 month clothing. Plus
she doesn't seem to be slowing down any.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<strike>She still hasn't mastered rolling from her back to her stomach</strike>
I started writing this but didn't get it finished. In the time it has
taken me, Belle rolled over, so she can cross that off her bucket list!
She can easily go from her stomach to her back. She loves to be sitting
up (although she needs help) and loves the jumperoo! When we brought it
upstairs a few weeks ago we need to have a ream of paper underneath her
feet in order for her to be able to touch. That is no longer needed and
she has learned to spin her self around in it to see the different toys.
And just recently started making it bounce herself.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
She
loves when anybody will talk to her, especially other kids. Which is a
good thing as big brother Jack would crawl into all of the toys/beds
with her just to be closer!<br />

<div style="text-align: center;">
She
has started to eat oatmeal. The first few try's, she loved it, but now
will eat some and tends to ignore the rest. She has started waking me up
at 3:30 to eat, and I'm hoping this will end soon! It probably also
means a growth spurt is coming!<br />

Isabella is now 3 months old (and a little past). When we went to her 2 month well check, she weighed in at almost 15 pounds and is in the 97% for weight and off the charts for her height. With that being said, she has moved into 6-9 month clothes. She is on the verge of rolling from her back to her stomach and loves to being sitting up so she can see the world around her.</div>

She giggles more frequently now and both boys are able to get her laughing! Although Jack gets very upset when she won't laugh for him. Both boys love to lay next to her and smile at her, they also enjoy sharing their blankets with her.</div>

Her big accomplishments this month are:</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
-Smiles very easily now</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
-She has slept through the night on several nights now!!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
-Rolled from stomach to back. (I was trying to take pictures on her on her tummy and she decided that that wasn't going to fly, so she rolled over. I flipped her back and she didn't it again. The next day I tried again, and I pretty much had to hold her on her tummy to keep her there!)</div>

Both of the boys adore her and fight over who gets to give her a pacifier when she cries. It makes me so happy to see how much they adore her!</div>

She still sleeps a lot, (which works in my favor as she has a lot of modeling gigs that she needs to be sleeping for) but when she is awake she is very alert and checking everything out. She smiles now, although she will really make you work for them! But when she does smile all the prodding is worth it.</div>

Our newest is now 2 weeks old, so I suppose it is about time to introduce her to the world of blogging. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Isabella Macy was born on December 27 at 1:20 PM. She made quite the entrance into the world! Contractions started at about 7 AM, I told Chris he might want to keep his phone near him at work as I was thinking that it would be the day! My mom was here and had been since Christmas day. I wanted to keep the contractions coming as I was scheduled to be induced on Friday the 28th. I wanted to avoid that if possible so my mom and me decided to take the boys to the mall, so that I could walk and keep things moving. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Before we got the boys in the car the contractions were getting strong enough that I had to stop what I was doing and let it pass. They weren't very long though and so I pushed to stick with our mall plan. Once there I held onto the stroller and my mom followed the boys. We stopped to look at the fish and let them run for a little while and finally I decided I wanted to be home for a while. My mom grabbed lunch for the boys and her and we headed home. On the way I called the hospital, as I was sure they would tell me to labor at home for awhile longer and come in later (that's what they did with Corbin). Sure enough I was told to try taking a warm bath and seeing what that did to the contractions. So I called Chris and let him know it was time for him to come home. While I was in the tub, Chris came home and packed up the car. I made it through 3 contractions and decided that it was time. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I had secretly hoped to have a completely natural birth, no pain meds, but on the way to the hospital I threw that thought out the window and decided that I wanted a shot of pain meds. We got to the hospital and they took us up to a labor room. I had time to get into the gown and asked them if I could have the pain meds. I got an IV put in (I hate IV's and this was the reason for wanting to have a natural childbirth, no IV!) and they ordered the meds. When checked I was 8-9 cm, so they let the Doctor know. By the time she got to the room I was ready to push! It turned out I was to far along to get the pain meds. I guess I got my wish for a natural birth. I had to hold about 4 pushes while they got everything ready and after about 3 pushes Isabella made her appearance into the world!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I really didn't think that I was as far along as I was! Turns out we were only in the hospital for 15 min and she was born! The nurses all guessed at her weight, but were all in shock when the scale read 9lbs. 12 oz and 21 1/4 inches long.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
She is beyond perfect and a wonderful addition to our family!<br />

No poltergeist here, just our lovable elf Kiki! Kiki stopped by on December 1st to help Santa out and keep his eye on the boys. In case you have been living under a rock lately Kiki is our Elf on a Shelf that comes to stay with us during the Christmas season and reports to Santa each night on whether or not the boys have been good. He seems to get into some mischief himself each evening and the boys have to find him in the morning. Below is what Kiki has been up to this past week.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
On Sat. the 1st, Santa mailed him to us and he brought along some magical tree seeds that he instructed the boys to plant in a bowl of sugar before they went to bed that night.</div>

For me, this Halloween tradition is almost more important than carving pumpkins. As most of you know I LOVE to bake, so it shouldn't come as a surprise to anyone that this tradition includes cut out sugar cookies! These are nothing fancy, just cut out pumpkins, decorated in orange frosting with M&M's for faces. This is something that I remember making with my grandma when I was little and I loved it. I think we used candy corn instead, but I like chocolate way to much not to use that!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
This year the boys decided that just pumpkins weren't good enough, so we threw in a few bats, cats and ghosts as well. There was also a fresh layer of snow on the ground outside, so I really felt like we should be listening to Christmas Carols and cutting out trees and reindeer instead. Alas I stuck with the correct Holiday, knowing that Christmas is just around the corner and I will probably be making whatever goodies we want for the holidays soon and freezing them. With the baby on the way, I am going to attempt to be prepared early this year. My original goal was to have all Christmas shopping done by Thanksgiving, but looking at the calendar I'm not sure that's going to happen! Wish me luck!</div>

This weekend our local zoo held an event called "Boo at the Zoo". The kids could wear their costumes and trick or treat around the zoo while seeing the animals. It was a lovely (not) 37 degrees when we went. I waited as long in the day as I could so it would be warmest. And to top it off, it was snowing! Not enough to show up in any photos, but nevertheless it was snow. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
We are members of the zoo so the event was free for us, which was a good thing as I would not have been the happiest if I had paid for it. Except for a few local businesses that had tables set up and were handing out candy, the boys got 4 pieces of candy and Halloween tattoo. Trust me, my kids are sweet enough and wild enough that they really don't need that much sugar, but I really thought there might be a little bit more to it.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I was able to sneak in a few photos though. Little wanted to wear his monkey costume and Big had on his Hawkeye costume, although it was too cold to actually see it.</div>

Big recently turned 4 on the 17th! It was kind of a crazy time for us. I had been out of town for work the week before and then that weekend we ended up driving to SD for my Grandmothers funeral. The funeral ended up being on the 17th, but we still tried to make Big's birthday special. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
One of the things he had been asking to do for quite a while was to stay in a hotel. So for his birthday and the fact that we were out of town, he got his wish! He didn't get to swim because there was no time but I still think he enjoyed it! Plus Grandma and Papa were in the room next door, so for that little one it doesn't get much better!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Before we left town to head back home, we stopped and let the boys pick out some pumpkins at a local stand. </div>

We drove home that night and stopped at the store when we got home to pick up a cake. It pained me a little to be giving my 4 year old a store bought cake for his birthday, but he didn't seem to mind much!</div>

Saturday was the big day. Chris and I let the boys swim at the hotel in the morning and I attempted to get them down for an early nap with no such luck! Little fell asleep on the way to the church. Lucky for us we had brought along our sitter to help out, so she drove around with him while he slept, and I took Big inside. Chris was already there doing his thing.</div>

While mowing our backyard, I ran right over this birds nest. The weeds in this corner of the lawn were so long I hadn't seen it. Luckily the mower went right over and didn't even disturb it! The momma bird was not so happy with me though! I continued to check on it in the weeks to come, only to find that all the eggs in turn ended up disappearing. I think the neighbors dogs had something to do with it. It would have been fun to watch them hatch, but there's always next year.</div>

While in Aberdeen for the Bridal Shower, the boys and I stayed at my parents lake cabin for the weekend and enjoyed some lake living. Big loved playing in the sand and could have spent all day there. Little on the other hand was torn, he wanted to be playing in it with Big, but didn't want to actually touch it or have any of it touch him! He finally decided that sitting on the end of the dock and letting Big play while he watched was his best route to take. Big had found a bug that he was building a home for.</div>

<span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;">I've made a few projects lately that I thought I would share with everyone.</span> <span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;">First off is a 4th of July wreath for our front door. It's a fabric tie wreath, that was tedious, but fun to make.</span> <span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;">Especially when a girlfriend decides to make one as well and the kids play while we craft. We made a goal to have them done by Memorial Day, and we actually made it. Now that July is almost over, I need to figure out something else to put there! I don't know where we got the original directions, but they are all over Pinterest.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;">We also put together a Fathers Day gift for Chris. He had to leave for his 2 week drill, so I found this cute idea with some fun printables from <a href="http://alphamom.com/family-fun/holidays/diy-fathers-day-gift-superhero-craft/">this site</a>. That way he could have a few snacks while he was gone.</span></div>

It's been awhile since I posted. I know that people actually look at this, as I have been told several times that I haven't posted anything for awhile! Life has been busy in our household. As most of you probably know we will be welcoming baby #3 in December. Hence the lack of posts, I have been exhausted!!!! </div>
