Pure Craziness...

So last Saturday this started...

Then it started to look like this...


Then on Friday it looked like this....

Another fire started that day... (Antelope Fire)This fire was very close to the house. We actually had to evacuate our house. BUT... We weren't home, we were at the hospital having a baby! What a wild day it turned out to be. Since we were in the hospital I didn't know exactly what was going on except that nurses and doctors were going in and out because they were having to evacuate there homes. During all the mess we had a beautiful baby girl. We named her Makenzie which means born of fire. We thought it was fitting with everything going on.
Anyways, the birth is the previous post. We have really enjoyed having her here in our family and LOVE her so much! She is a great baby.
Luckily on Saturday we were able to have a home to come home to. Now the fire looks like this... (out our front door)
It has been really crazy around Sierra Vista. A lot of homes have been lost and a lot of people evacuated. The hotels here or towns around are full. The shelters are full. We hope that we see it become a little more contained, but REALLY appreciate all the work people have done to help. We really appreciate all the firefighters, police officers, boarder patrol agents, and anyone else that are working so hard to save homes and control this fire. They are all in our prayers!

A Little Late....

So Tuesday June 14th was my due date. We were so excited and couldn't wait for her to join our family. Tuesday went by... Wednesday went by... Thursday went by... Then the phone rang. Thursday afternoon we received a phone call from my Doctor saying that I could be induced Friday morning if I was interested. We decided to go ahead and get induced. So Friday morning Spencer and I got to the hospital around 5:30. We got settled in our room and they ended up not starting the potocin until around 9am. At 3:31 she was born. She weighted 7lbs 9 oz and was 18 3/4 inches long. The delivery went well and most importantly she was healthy.
This is my Doctor or was my Doctor. She is retiring in December!!! I am so sad! He delivered both girls and is an AWESOME Dr.
As soon as she was born I started to feel yucky. The rest of that day I was vomiting and had head aches, body aches, and was totally out of it. Luckily that night I finally began to feel better and got to hold my baby. That's when we decided we better come up with a name for this little baby. Before we went to the hospital we narrowed the names down to Emilee or Brooke. Earlier that day my sis-in-law text us and gave us a few names that she liked but also had something to do with fire. With the fire and everything going on we decided to name her Makenzie (born of fire). It is perfect for this little girl. To be honest Spencer has always loved the name Makenzie, I have never been "in love" with it but I liked it. now, I love it! We got to come home Saturday night. Luckily we had a house to come home to. We were asked to evacuate on Friday but they let our neighborhood return home later that night. Makenzie is a very good baby and so far she sleeps great at night. Madison is doing pretty good with her. She is still learning how to be soft and how to be gentle. I'm sure things will be changing once it's just us 3 girls at home. I'll let you know how that goes.

Oops...

So I have been trying to have this baby for some time, on Saturday I mopped the floor on my hands and knees, went on a bumpy rhino ride, did jump squats, went running, etc. Anyways... the purpose of this post is my poor little Madi was playing while I was running on the treadmill. She decided to put on her Daddy's work boots and tripped landing on the treadmill. Luckily I had just finished and turned it off. She still managed to get her cheek and nose. It looks good in this picture. (2 days later)
She is also showing you her boo-boo on her thumb. She got a nice slice helping me dust.
