Welcome Baby Teag!

Teag Robert Nacey joined our family on October 29th.   And of course, we think he is the most handsome baby boy ever!  He was 6lbs 2oz and 19 inches long. 

While in SLC the girls got to stay with Grandma and Grandpa Nacey and with Aunt Julie and Aunt Rachel.  This was them on Halloween.  They got to do a lot of fun stuff, but I think they would have preferred to stay in the hospital and hang out with the "baby brother."
This was our life for three days while in the hospital.  Josh slept there every night with me, as uncomfortable as it was for him.  He is such a sweetheart! 
This was me in recovery after the C-section.  I really enjoyed this hospital because they put a mirror up for me so that I could see everything.  After having 2 previous C-sections I decided I wanted to see it.  It was awesome! I wish I could have seen the other two.    

Our poor little guy didn't have a name until the day we left the hospital.  We couldn't decide.  Finally after 3 days of suggestions we decided on Teag.   So far he's been a real mellow baby.  No crazy nights yet, but I'm sure they are coming!  

Halloween Party

So our friends held their annual Halloween party last night.  Let me just say that I almost went into labor because I was laughing so hard.  There were about 30 couples there and everyone was decked out in the most creative costumes.  This is Josh and I being Juno and Bleeker (from the movie Juno).  With me being 9 months pregnant, we didn't have a whole lot of options on costumes.  Clearly my costume was boring but Josh really got into his character, especially during the dance contest portion of the evening.  We had an awesome time, as always, and can't wait for next year's party.

Josh also carved all the pumpkins for the center pieces which are displayed below.  There were pretty scary this year.  

Pumpkin Carving

For those of you who don't know, my husband is a pumpkin carving fiend.  Hence the reason why we are already carving and its only October 5th.  The kids love it though.  He has a collection of pumpkin stencils on our computer and adds more and more each year.  I think the first year he got into it he carved about 20 pumpkins in about 3 days.  ( He's very passionate about his hobbies.)

So this is Josh carving a Cinderella pumpkin.  The first of the season.  The pumpkin carving might be tricky around Halloween this year seeing as we will be in the hospital having the new baby on the 29th of October.  The kids will get to Trick-or-Treat in SLC this year.  

You can see the kids better than the pumpkin in this picture so I took another one below that you can't see the kids, but can see the pumpkin pretty good.
Its Cinderella, if you can't tell.  The pattern chosen by the princesses in our house of course. 
This was Mr. Incredible that Josh did a couple years ago.
This is kind of a bad picture, but this is Sponge Bob.  This is one of the favorites every year.  He's even made a custom stencil for my face and his, but for some reason I don't have those pictures saved on my computer.  Its pretty cool though.  

Happy Birthday Presley

Presley turned 3 on October 3rd.  We had a party with her little friends, which was interesting, and then we had cake and ice cream with Grandma and Grandpa Mackey, Bridger and Ali, Aunt Jan, and Bart, Melissa and Bailey.  Presley is a very sweet little girl who gets very shy sometimes.  Very often during her party she wouldn't look at the camera or anyone else.  We love her so much and very grateful that she is in our family.  

This is brand new baby Presley with Kenady cheesing out!

This is Presley at about 8 months old.  She's always had this huge smile.  You can't help but smile when you see that face.

Presley is helping Mom make cupcakes for her birthday party.  

Present time, by far the favorite part of the party for Presley and her friends.

This is Presley being shy.  She was actually on the verge of tears when this picture was taken.  She was too shy to blow out her candles in front of all the adults.  Kenady had to do it for her.  We hope you had a happy birthday Presley!

Dressing up!

My kids love to dress up ( if you didn't know that already).  They are always wearing some sort of princess dress or dance outfit.  This is just another episode.  Usually Kenady will say, "Mom, and then you see a beautiful girl, (herself, of course) walking, and you say, 'Oh my goodness, who is that beautiful girl?'"  So Presley will then say, "Mom, you be the prince." Then she'll take my hand to dance with her.  Its very entertaining.

This is Presley dancing "like a princess," as she puts it.

This is Kenady's version.  Very lovely.
Kids these days are so lucky.  If had even one princess dress at their age I would have been in heaven.  My kids have a whole box full and usually get another one for every special occasion, (Thanks to grandmas and grandpas).
