Kloey's 3rd Birthday Party

Here are the pics from Kloey's Party. She got spoiled rotten. BUt it was a fun party.

Just a little update.
I know the video below doesn't work. It should be fixed tomorrow night.

Kloey's Birthday was so much fun i will post pics when I wake up in the morning.

Anthony is headed to Chili tomorrow. His good Spanish speaking skills limited his time in the MTC. We already miss him a ton. But we are so Proud that he is out serving the Lord the way he wants to. Love you Anth.

This is what I looked like. This is the night before Kloey was born and her 2 parents couldn't have been happier. We both had been wanting kids for a long time. Mike much longer than me. It was about this time on Sept 11, 2009 and I knew I wouldn't be able to sleep. I was scheduled to be induced the next morning at 6am. I couldn't sleep so at about 5 I started getting ready and at 5:30 I got a phone call that they were too busy and to call at 9. So I did and they said not yet call at 12. Then about 10:30 I got a call saying to come now. I will never forget the anticipation waiting for my sweet little girl that changed my life forever. This is "Our" song. We sing it almost every night. She has been able to sing along since she was about 18 months old. I am finally able to sing it without choking up. I still sometimes do because I don't know where I would be in my life if it weren't Kloey and Mike coming into my life. I love you Baby girl. You will always be my baby girl even though you don't like me to call you that anymore so I will call you our "pet" name. I love you "BABY CAKES" and thank you Mike for such an awesome little ham.


Yes I know that McBride and Grow are both spelled wrong I was making this at like 1am. then i saved it wrong so I can't edit it.

2 Months ago today....

Max was born. I can't believe how the time has flown by. He is growing so fast. I took him to the Dr. for some tummy troubles he has been having. He cries a lot and can't poop on his own so I took him in to my favorite pediatrician ever. She is great. Thanks Aunt Rose for referring us to her. Anyways she says she doesn't think that it is the constipation that is bothering him. She said it could be something I am eating or Reflux which runs in my family. So she gave me a few ideas on things to cut out of my diet but luckily not all at once she said try cutting out an item for 2-3 days and see if it helps. We also got a Rx for prevacid which Kloey was on when she was a baby until she was 1. She also said that even though he acts like he's hungry he's probably not and it makes his tummy hurt worse cuz he is getting over-full. That explains why he jumped in his weight from the 24th percentile to the 77th percentile. But I think his chunkiness is cute.

We will work through the tummy problems and I can't wait to have a happy baby and a good nights sleep. I love my little Max and can't wait until his cute little smiles turn into an all day thing.

Happy Birthday Babe

Today is Mike's 34th Birthday!!! I wanted to do a little tribute to him to show my love. I really couldn't ask for anyone more perfect for me. Here are the top 20 reasons reasons I can't get enough of him.

1.He gave me 2 beautiful babies.
2.Mike's the best dad to our kids.
3.His love of children.
4.The way he acts all tough like he doesn't love kids.
5.His crazy joking personality with Kloey.
6.The way he fits right in with my family.
7.His family has always accepted me.

8.How proud he is of his step son Anthony.
9.The way he considers Anthony his son and not his step son.

10.He always makes me laugh.
11.After 3 and a half years I still can't tell when he's serious.
12.We have always been able to finish each other sentences and know what the other is thinking since day 1.
13.The way he grows his facial hair just to annoy me.

14.The way he considers his friends family.
15.How he works a ton of hours for our family.
16.I love how grateful he is for my cooking.
17.His love for his car.
18.I can tell him anything without worrying what will follow.
19.He gets along with everyone.
20.He does things he really doesn't want to do just to make me happy.

I love you Mike and look forward to spening a lot more Birthdays with you.

Maximus is 2 weeks Old!!!!

It's been 2 weeks since I gave birth to our baby boy. I can't believe how time has flown by.
He has been so much fun to have around. Kloey loves him so much and has been a good helper. Althought she refuses to throw away or even touch his dirty diapers. She will get clean ones and wipes but the dirty ones gross her out.
Max keeps changing daily I just wish his sleeping routine would change. He loves to sleep all day and stay awake and eat all night.
He has a Dr appointment on Tuesday and we will see then how much he has grown. He doesn't quite fit into his clothes yet but before I know it he will be too big for them. I am happy to be home and spend the summer with my babies. Being a mother brings me so much joy. All I ever wanted was to be a mom and have a family and I am so grateful to have that. Mike and my 2 babies truely make me happy and have been what I have dreamed of all my life. My Family Truely does ROCK!!!!!
