Recruiting Trip

I spent a week in Northern Utah doing graduate recruitment fairs. I brought Macy along and she had a different babysitter each day.

Monday - My sister Holly (& her 3-year old Mylee) watched Macy
Tuesday - My mom, sister Brie (& her 1 1/2 year old Paxton) watched Macy
Wednesday - My mom, sister Amber (& her 5 month old Nash) & sister in law Laurie watched Macy
Thursday - My mom watched Macy
Friday - My sister Holly (and her 3-year old Mylee) watched Macy

They all loved their "Macy time" and I really appreciate them all.

We had the chance to meet up with my old SUU friend, Kim Perea Dean, for breakfast. Her baby girl, Gabriella Anna, arrived just a few weeks before Macy. In this photo, Kim is holding Macy and I'm holding Gabriella. It was so much fun to see them!

I was also able to go to the annual Bingham Women's Conference Luncheon at The Lion House. It was fun to see everyone and visit. This is me and Macy with all of my sisters and my mom. We all happened to be wearing creamy colored shirts!

Macy was such a dream and got pampered by all of her aunts and grandma Gigi. They gave her her first pedicure! She has such darling toes.

She bathed with her cousin Nash!

And they took awesome pictures of her with their fancy iPhones.

Macy's Blessing

Macy's Blessing was such a special day. Her dad did such a great job giving her a blessing.

And thank goodness we had Liz on hand to take memorable photos of all the family and friends who were there.

Who does Macy look like?

This photo helps you see the dimple in Andy's chin that Macy has.

This is a baby picture of Andy - his facial expression and fingers are TOTALLY MACY!

So, Macy pretty much looks like her daddy....and that is great because her daddy is so cute.

The baby on the right is me and the bawl baby on the left is my sister, Holly! The story behind this photo is that they were taking this photo for a Christmas card and my mom was holding me (1 month old). Holly threw a fit and wouldn't have it - she wanted my mom to hold her. So, that is why my dad is holding me and Holly is red faced and my mom looks like she's had it!

At any rate, there is some Macy resemblance in her mommy.

Bingham Family Reunion

We had the Bingham Family Reunion at Zion Ponderosa Resort. It was such a great place. We took advantage of the zip line, pool and more.

This is Andy on the zip line:

This is Noah on the zip line:

And Natalee:

And me! Yes, I did it. It was way scary but fun once you took the plunge.

We couldn't leave Macy out of the fun so we took her for her first dip in the pool. We first put her in the regular pool and it was too cold for her - she didn't like it one bit. Then we put her in a warm pool and she LOVED it. She just did the back float and was so content. We can't wait to take her to the SUU pool this winter.

My favorite girl.

I know this photo is on the birth announcement, but I think you need to see it bigger.
