Mazzie Update (3 months)

Mazzie is 3 months old now.  As you can tell, she is as thin as a bean pole.  She is pretty far below the charts on her weight.  She has some serious reflux and loses a lot of her meals.  Xidis had the same thing and they almost look like twins at that age.


In this picture you can see that she is beginning to get red hair like her brother.


Also very much like her brother at this age, she goes from super happy to super sad is seconds.


One of the most beautiful moments was the day she learned to suck her thumb.  She can calm herself and put herself to sleep almost instantly.


She is a happy baby and smiles at everyone.  Xidis and Elyxzia love to make her smile.



She looks a lot like Maggie.  When she gets really cranky I call them twins.


What a cute baby!

Family Picture


Us at the Burton's on Easter Sunday.

Earth Day


On earth day we planted some grass with the kids. A few days later it sprouted and looked like this.



About a week later is was out of control and we had to go cut it.



Mommy helping Elyxzia.



Elyxzia cutting her "Earth Day" grass.



Xidis cutting his "Earth Day" grass. Now we have to cut it all the time. It's almost as bad as having a lawn.

Spring Soccer


Xidis was on the blue soccer team this spring. He still likes to play and his skills are getting sweet.



Elyxzia loves to watch him play. Most of the time she plays around on the sidelines.



This was his last game and here he is with his trophy. Every time he gets a trophy he says "I got a trophy cause I scored some goals."



Elyxzia loves to imitate her brother. She wore the team colored shirt to each of his soccer games. She's excited to be able to play like her brother.

Easter Time


This was around Easter time. Here are all three kids in their new Easter outfits from Grandma and Papa Jim.


Grandma and Papa Jim


This has been a pretty good year so far with visits from Grandma and Papa Jim. The kids love when they come. Xidis thinks they live at the airport.

The Kids


These are pictures that Dawni and Carrie took of the kids when we were at a Burton jive. They have really good cameras and really cute kids to work with! Plus I suppose they are pretty good photographers.


The Final Gymnastics Meet


Baby Mazzie got to go to her first gymnastics meet. She slept through the whole thing.


This was the last meet of the year. The kids love going and doing the YMCA song and shouting and screaming "Utah Utes!"
