Nichole & Sylvie came down from St. Jo on Tuesday to spend the day with us.

We went to open gym at the community center and met up with Maya’s friend Eva.

Sylvie had a good time pulling Maya in the wagon.

Brie and Maya have fun taking pictures and I get to see what the girls have been up to. Below Maya is playing with Aunt Brie’s shoes. Looks like a lot of fun.

Maya loves to take everything out of the oven drawer and then get in it! She does not listen when we tell her no.

Hanging out with Monkey George from Auntie Kaitlin on the way to climb up on the oven like a bad girl.

Maya likes to pretend she’s washing the floors.

Below is Maya getting into trouble for crawling in daddy’s computer cabinet and turning it off.

“When I have kids, they are NOT going to eat in the car and make a big mess!” Right, so here’s Maya eating some cheerios after her haircut on the drive home.

It was warm enough at the end of last week to take a walk in the wagon outside. Maya loved it!

Maya’s handing me a pretend something. I have no idea where she learned to do that or why she’s sitting on a cookie sheet.

Last week we went to open gym at the community center with Noelle & Eva. Unfortunately, the pics with both girls didn’t turn out, so I only have a few of Maya. The girls had a great time!




Maya has been hugging her babies as often as possible. She hugs them and then gives them to me and I hug them and then she wants it back and on and on it goes.

Sunday morning all ready for church in her dress from Great Uncle Russ & Aunt Iris in Phoenix, AZ.

Wearing her fur coat from Grandma Rosie.

Friday night we had dinner at the Dudinksy’s. Maya & Keira had a great time and play very well together.

Saturday night we had the Humphrey’s over and Maya loved sharing her new wagon with Jonas. He was wheeling her around as well.

The tent is not just a hit with the children….even Jonas’s mommy enjoyed it.


Baby girl is pretty happy that the gate is off the piano room so she can work on her piano and guitar skills.
Maya loves her new activity table from Grandma Jacobsen. Aunt Brie got her the cute top.

Maya’s friend Lilli came over to play and the wagon was a big hit. Lilli’s little sister Luna Belle was born on the 24th. She is so cute, we’ll get a pic of her posted soon.


Baby was sad but decided to stop the water works for a quick picture with baby George.

We did an awful job taking pictures this Christmas. We got several of Maya and her new toys but didn’t get hardly any of our family gatherings. We had several nice gatherings and a wonderful holiday. Grandma Jacobsen came down from Iowa (Uncle Brandon had to stay home because an ice storm was on its way). We went to my Dad’s on Christmas and had a really nice time and the next day had the Amberson’s and Grandma Jacobsen over to celebrate Christmas and later that weekend we had my family over to celebrate.
Aunt Kathy came in from Michigan and we got to hang out with her a few times.

Grandma Jacobsen gave Maya this wagon and we’ve been wheeling her all over the house ever since!

Aunt Niki and family got her this walker/stroller that she loves to push her babies around in.

Grandma Jacobsen’s friend Lynn got Maya a rocking chair and so did Grandma Rosie. We’re going to stencil Maya’s name on one of them and Friend on the other so she can rock and read her books with her friends.

Aunt Brie & Uncle Corey gave Maya this tent. She’s been having lots of fun with it and likes to try and roll her wagon and stroller in there as well.

Maya got a lot of time playing with her cousin’s.

A couple weeks ago we had our annual Christmas party and ornament exchange with the Kammerer’s, Mitchell’s and Humphrey’s. Here are Maya and Sylvie playing, but we forgot to take any more pictures when everyone else arrived.


She’s a natural, just like her daddy.
