McGuire is 3!!!

SO McGuire's Birthday was a week and a half ago, I've been so slow at posting lately!!!

We had a great time! We had as many family members over as we could get come to my mom's house for cake and ice cream the day before, It was just easier that way. It was such a great time. McGuire of course got completely spoiled rotten by both of his grandma's! Trains, clothes, cars, puzzles, boots, books, more trains, and cars!
McGuire thinks he is turning four, if you ask him " 'Guire how old are you now?" He will quickly reply, " I'm 'foor'." FINALLY we got him to say he's three! or "Free" So that was a great achievement!

Get Ready....

Blow!

His Favorite part!

His Favorite Toby Train!!!

For another one of his birthday surprises, we got to go on the Polar Express! If you know McGuire lately he is absolutely OBSESSED with trains! It was 7th Heaven for him! It turned out to be great cuz awesome! A friend of mine and her family were there!  We got Hot cocoa and Cookies and sang carols and "BANTA SAUS" came and gave McGuire his very own christmas bell! At the end of the ride, it began to SNOW, McGuire thought he was the boy from the book/movie! IT was a great family activity! Taylor even sang some songs (that was the FIRST time ever!)

When we were singing for Santa

Seeing Santa coming Closer.. that smile is PRICELESS!!!

He's so excited he can't help it!

SANTA!!!

The Polar Express Bell!

The snow storm afterwards!!!

Some cute phrases from McGuire..

We're sitting in the car, I'm getting ready to get out for some fuel, I hear a "Steffff, Steffff" Let me remind you, its just me and McGuire there.... so I turned around and asked "What did you just say?" "Stef, What you doing, mom?" I laughed to hard, I didn't know he knew my name...

Another one is when I had to wake him up to go to Daycare, he looks at me deep into my eyes and says, "Mom, I just want to stay in my bed." Oh man I just wanted to call in sick! It was like music to my ears!

Time out is still and usual punishment for me, even if he is already in time out.

There are so many things that he says that I can't think of right now, but soon I will and I will have to share! Hope you enjoy the pics!

Lately..

Now that the month of October is done, I can give you somewhat of an update! It was Taylor's birthday and we just did a little celebration of going to St. George, it was a great turn out for the weather and visiting my sister down there!

During the month of October we adopted a little family member, her name is Izzy the kitty! She is such a joy in our life! She's just so perfect in our family because she doens't have ANY CLAWS! :) So if McGuire decides to annoy her, she'll swat at him but the result of the crying little boy isn't because he got scratched, its because his feelings were hurt. She is just a cuddle bug from the start. At first she loved Taylor and try to give him kitty kisses, but now she adores me and follows me everywhere! She is my bed buddy too! Unfortunately we had to give her to someone else who was in need of a cat more then us. We moved to my parents house so we can get back on our feet. I'm not going lie I am REALLY sad that she's gone.. Its like a lost a friend to a certain point.

 Anyways.. As I mentioned above is that we moved to my parentals.. its been a life adjustment, but its been really nice not having to worry about some bills, so now we can actually get back on our feet and be able to live a normal livleyhood without the worries of paying or getting something taken away from us. I especially like it because I get to sleep in my old bed. McGuire went from a little day bed to a KING SIZE bed!!! Talk about spoiled.. he likes to share with me and Taylor though, I think its just a life adjustment that we're all going to have to get used too!

So for the Thankful thing this week...
MY FAMILY! They are always so supportive of me and Taylor and always willing to give me and my little family a helping hand... They help me so much with all the everyday struggles of life.. I don't know where I would be with out them! Love ya Fam.. if your reading this, Thank you for being so good to me and my little family!
