Our place to jot it all down
This was when they came out at the very beginning. Talk about excitement and a ton of fun to watch! We were only six rows back so we could actually hear them breath as they danced. It was amazing to see up close. I watch this show all the time so it was even better to see them up close and re-watch some of the dances that aired on t.v.
Allison and boys...this is one of my favorite dances.
Another game (there were a lot!)
I can't believe Brigham is already 5. Where did the time go? He choose to have his part at Madison Gymnastics and was able to invite a few friends to attend. Nothing was easier that letting boys run free in a gym filled with things to jump on, over and into. They had a great time!
Scott got attacked by all the boys. He was like a little boy himself playing on all the toys.
Here is Brigham and Brock ready for their first day of Preschool. They go to a neighbor and good friend of mine called Leap Ahead Preschool. He really enjoys it and is learning a lot.
My sister Kliss, moved to Las Vegas in July so we decided to go visit them. It was a good excuse to get away and we always love hanging out with the Francis Family. We left all the kids but Macy home. Here she is on her first plane ride. She did great and slept the whole time. Lucky me.
It was super hot there 100+ degrees so we took the kids to the splash parks to cool off and get out of the house. Vegas has way fancier playgrounds than we will ever see in Idaho!
Like I said...way fancier playgrounds. This is the best picture I could capture when trying to keep four kids still in a fun play area like this one. Just so you are aware, you are not allowed to eat frozen yogurt here. Don't even try, they won't let you.
She liked playing on this fish but kept getting on and off...could not decide what to play with water, a tree house, a maze, slides...
She loved the slide...big surprise from my little thrill seaker. 
Macy has decided that she needs to climb onto everything. She keeps me busy trying to keep up with her. I have not aquired a little secretary all day at work since she is not content unless she is sitting on my desk while I work. It drives me crazy because you know she doesn't just sit nicely in the corner like this picture may lead you to believe. I am hoping this phase will pass soon cause dang.
This by no means is really happening. I just caught her at the right moment and she was happy to hang out there. We had success with #1 & 2 that day. A fluke, but it was still cute. 
We also attempted going to the Blackfoot Fair, unfortunately we planned the worst day to go. It was pouring rain and rather cold. We decided to just go for it though because we had arranged our schedules accordingly. It was a total bust and I am still really bummed that the weather was so awful that day. 
Macy hated it, can you tell?
We had a party on Sunday to celebrate. She wanted nothing to do with this grand cupcake. When we were passing out regular size cupcakes she reached for one and enjoyed it with no hesitation. (she fell and bonked her head while we were decorating for the party, thus the scratch on her face)
She had no idea how to unwrap her gifts but she had lots of help so it wasn't a problem. 
For her actual birthday we went and got her first Happy Meal. She enjoyed her orange drink a lot!
We played on the toys which she loved. She is playing peek-a-boo with me in this shot. 
Brigham even took her down the slide which she thought was great. We had a great day. We are so grateful for her sweet spirit in our lives. Happy Birthday Macy!
