I am really frustrated that I can't figure out how to download my HD videos on here from my new camcorder, so once I do, there will be videos to catch up on. Since I didn't want to postpone this post anymore, here we go.

With the change of the New Year, we always look forward to Maizy's birthday on January 4th.

This year, Maizy turned 6 years old. I can't believe I have a 6 year old!


She is in Kindergarten and is doing great. We have been to one parent/teacher conference and are told that she really doesn't need to work on anything, but for us to help her go beyond what is assigned so she can continue to learn.
I have been trying to be a little more budget conscientious and have been making my kids cakes. Maizy wanted a heart cake, and had to specify that it be red just like a real heart is...what a little smarty pants!


She got her ears pierced for her birthday and she has been really excited about that (see previous post). She also received LOTS of earrings for her birthday so she is really looking forward to the day when she can change them out!
It has become a tradition to rent out the pool up here for our family to have a swim party. It is a fun, but exhausting 2 hours. I know Maizy really loves to do this and so do I. I hope everyone enjoys it as much as our family does.


Maizy has decided that she doesn't want to do tumbling anymore. To keep her active and busy she just started basketball for the next 2 months. She had her first game on Saturday and it was so cute to watch all the kids just grab the ball and take off running without dribbling. She loved it...maybe she is taking after her mother after all.
She continues to grow like a weed and the doctor gave her a clean bill of health when she went for her checkup. She is at 4 feet tall now...watch out Jami and Mandy, she is catching up to you fast! It won't be long before I am looking up to her-okay, maybe a few more years!
Thanks to all our family and friends for your support. It means the world to us...and to our children to have you there!
