So GUESS WHAT!!


So my Makayla turned 4 today, which was totally surreal!! I am literally in total shock about how big she is now. She had a wonderful birthday full of opening presents and eating at her favorite restaurant(Tomato Street). My mom came up and took some pictures and brought us a yummy ice cream cake for Makayla, she loved it!! She got an awesome apron from her Great Grandma, a pillow pet, pretty dresses from both Grandma Mac and Grandma Divis. She also got some pants and a cute little stuffed bear too. She loved all her presents, thanks to everyone who thought of her! She had a great birthday!!

Now, to explain the title. Makayla for the first time at Evan's school, stood up on her own!!! Not only did she stand up on her own, she walked to me and was basically chasing me around all over the Guild School Gym. She will not crawl around the house hardly at all anymore, if she wants to go somewhere she stands up and walks there!! All I can say is YEAHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!! We are so happy about her progress. She is doing so amazing. It was funny because that day I was just thinking about how much I wanted her to walk and stand on her own, we have been very patient with her(stubborness), and I was starting to worry. All I can say is the Lord truley does answer prayers, and Evan is doing awesome in group therapy!! Heavenly Father sure knows how to make things come together when it really means something to you. I am so grateful and happy for Makayla and Evan and the steps they are taking in their lives, they are my greatest teachers.

Happy Birthday Angel Girl, you are so loved!!!

Sadie's Blessing


We blessed Sadie on Sunday February 6th in the Moran Prairie Ward. My mom made her a beautiful dress, it was full of sparkle but very understated, which I think describes Sadie to a "T". She looked so precious! I almost started balling when I put the dress on her, that is how beautiful she looked. Thanks so much for the dress mom, it made her special day even more special! Her daddy blessed her with kindness and to care for her brothers and sisters. Did you hear that SISTERS(plural)! I don't stake anything on it but I do know that Sadie only has one sister right now! Her daddy also blessed her that she would do well in her schooling, health and strength, and that she would gain a testimony of the gospel. All of those are pretty good things!!

Our dear friends, Russ and Emily came to visit us this weekend also for Sadie's blessing. We had a great time even though I came down with the deadly strep James Micheal had last week. We went out to dinner for James' birthday on Friday and they had a Halo party after. That is when my fever took off and didn't stop until 2 days later. Russ and Emily were great, cleaned my house, watched my kids, and help make dinners, while I laid like a heap of dead skin on the couch. James came down with it Sunday night after they left and is just now getting over it!
All in all it was a great weekend besides the almost dying part! It was worth it to have our little Sadie blessed.

She was blessed by her Daddy, Grandpa McIntire, Grandpa Divis, Great Grandpa Divis,(Great Uncle) Rip Divis,(Second Cousin) Russ Golding,(Friend) Chris English,(Uncle) Jordan Divis, (friend)Russ Carlson, (Uncle William) Divis, and (Great Uncle) Steve Dege. Yeah...a lot of people love our little Sadie.

Here are some pictures of our little girl on her special day, thanks to my mom!
