OINK OINK!

Today Miss Maddy was in a play at school. She played a piglet and her lines were, OINK OINK. Yes, only 2 words.. Which she forgot. Ooops.. It was so cute though! She is so shy sometimes. Just like her Dad. Here are some pictures of her in the Kindergarten production of "The Hat".

Fun in the snow

We had a blast yesterday playing in the snow! The girls just loved throwing snowballs at us, and I got some great pictures of them too. Trav pulled them on an innertube, and they squeeled and giggled so much. I wish I would have gotten it on video, but I didn't so my pictures will have to do.

Here is Alex being pulled by Daddy on the innertube.

This is Maddy.. I LOVE the look on her face! It's just pure joy. What an honor to see that on my big girls face. That means my kids are happy!


Here is my handsome hubby Trav. Isn't he cute?!


Pretty Maddy...


Yummy, dirty snow.


And I had to throw one in of Peyton.. She is getting so big. I keep on telling her to slow it down some, but she just doens't listen!

Virgin Blogger Here..

So, here I am.. A virgin blogger. My name is Stacey, and if you can't tell, I have 3 girls. Madalynn (Maddy) is 5 almost 6, Alexandria (Alex) is 3 almost 4, and our newest girl, Peyton, is soon to be 2 months. Why, you ask did I start a blog? I am hoping to jot down some of my thoughts as my girls are growing up, keep my friends and family updated on what they are doing in their (and my) lives, and maybe meet a few new friends in the world we call cyberspace. Here's to that!

Right now, I am sitting here enjoying a little quiet time. Peyton is fed & happy.. Maddy and Alex are enjoying a show on Disney.. I need to get up and make dinner but that can wait a few. So, what to talk about? Should I tell you all who I am? Well, I am Stacey as I previously mentioned. I am 27 years old. Married to a SUPER great guy, Travis, and have 3 girls, again mentioned earlier. I am currently on an 18 week maternity leave from my job as a commercial lines rater at an Insurance company in McMinnville, OR. I really like what I do at my "job, job", but I sometimes wish I could quit and stay home with my girls.. Yes, I said "sometimes". For those of you who know me know that I have a very challenging child in Alex. I love her dearly, but she stresses me out quite often. But I am REALLY enjoying being home with them. It's hard for me to believe that my baby is already 8 weeks old though. She is smiling at me, and she coos.. It is SO cute. Maddy is in kindergarten.. HOW did that happen?! It seems like yesterday she was Peyton's age. Crazy.And Alex will start Pre-school in the fall. So, how did I do? Does my life seem interesting enough for people to check back and see what else is happening? I hope so.. Thanks for checking me out! Stacey
