Macee's Birthday...

I can't believe it's birthday time for her again! We had a little family dinner and then a birthday party with friends that weekend. Everything was BSU themed- her request:) Super fun idea. Everyone- well everyone who wasn't a vandal fan- came dressed in orange and blue, we had tailgating food, had contests to see who was the best quarterback and who ran the best 20 yd dash. The girls loved it :) Of course blue and orange cupcakes too!
A little about Miss Macee......she is still acting very mature for her age and wanting to be independent. I'm not very good at this oldest child thing since I was the third child, but she seems to be carrying on the "oldest child" traits a bit-YIKES!! School is very exciting this year- although first grade has not been "challenging" enough for her yet she says. The first day was "just like Kindergarten, Mom, I didn't learn anything new!"
She can't wait to go to the bus stop in the morning- and loves riding it home. The bus usually beats me home by two minutes so she calls me in he car as soon as she walks in to say she made it. I try to keep her on the phone till I get home but she insists that I talk too much and she's fine so let's get off the phone:) Her end of the week homework is done the day it gets sent home and she is always the first one done with work at school that her teacher can't keep up with her:) She told me the other day that she got 5 'kid bucks' at the end of the day from her teacher because she was on task all day. "Now I have twelve kid bucks and everyone else only has two or three mom!!" Hmmm...teacher's pet already or just a great kid!! And she brings a math workbook on the bus because the bus ride to school is "long and boring!" She just LOVES school! Hope this keeps up forever!! The minute she gets home though it's finding the first kid int he neighborhood who can play- and play for as long as she can! Forget about dinner or mom and dad it's all about the friends :) Wow-sounds like me when I was little! I have the perfect mix of a nerdy socialite I think!!!
On the other end though she seems to be a bit of a perfectionist and gets very emotional over the sillliest thigns and NEVER wants to mess up. This has been a bit frustrating when she bawls because we giggled at how she tried to spell a word and didn't spell it right! OK my bragging about my child is done but I am just so proud of my big seven year old and how much she has grown over the past year. I love her bunches!!! Happy Birthday Macee!
She really was excited for her b-day... I think! Jadyn was the photographer for the night and I think she caught her at the wrong time! :)
Great Grandma Hank has moved to Boise so it has been fun to have her visit with us!
