Whitt Joseph Maxfield
August 19, 2011
5:26 p.m.
7 lbs. 9 oz.
20 inches long

Whitt was born Friday 8/19/11 at 5:26 pm & weighed 7.9 lbs & 20".  He is perfect!  Right now I am sure wearing my heart on my sleeve & my eyes too!  I feel such an overwhelming sense of love & gratitude.  I feel like my heart is going to explode!  I am so thankful and blessed he has come to be our little one.  I do feel sad I didn't enjoy "the journey" of pregnancy as much as I should have.  I already miss his little kicks & movement inside of me.  I feel my Father in Heavens love so strong. It's hard to think that this will be the last time I get to feel these overwhelming feelings from bringing a precious little one into the world.  I am ever grateful my all of my children.  I love them & pray I can be the mom they so desperately need me to be.

Three Is Terrific!! Cash's 3rd Birthday

I can't believe our little peanut Cash is turning 3 years old!

Cash - 7/23/2008

Cash - 3 years old

He is such a good little boy.  Lately he has become an extreme "Daddy's Boy."  He doesn't want anyone but Dad to do anything for him.  It makes me sad on some aspects but not too sad on others ;)  He is still really skinny and tall.  Probably will end up like my brother J.C.  Dang genes....why couldn't I get the tall and skinny??  He is truly a joy in our family.  Even when he throws fits.  We have to sit in the recliner in his room and wait for him to fall asleep.  He makes ya stay in there too!  When its my turn to sit in there...which isn't often...remember he is a Daddy's Boy... He sneaks from his bed to my lap to snuggle.  With his blankie, pillow and all.  But I don't mind.  He probably ends up in our bed...ummm ... 4 out of 7 nights a week.  But we are both so exhausted that he ends up staying there.  Good thing for king size beds! We have been working on the potty training deal... Sometimes it works and sometimes it doesn't.   He LOVES his sisters so much and is enjoying having them home during summertime.  Probably more than they enjoy him hanging out with them.  He still LOVES tractors and four wheelers and the Ranger.  But he has also found a new found love...the riding lawn mower.  His eyes still sparkle beyond compare and they are bigger than the harvest moon.  He gives great loves and kisses and hugs.  He has been his dad's little worker boy.  Joe says he actually does better at work than the girls and is actually helpful when he gets to go.  We are all a little nervous about what he will do when his world of being the baby comes to the end when his baby brother gets here.  You know he has been the baby in the family and in our eyes for like three years!  Happy Birthday Little Buddy!!  We love you more than you can ever imagine!!!

Fishing at the Fish Farm in No. Ogden

We didn't have anything to do on Saturday so Joe decided he wanted to take the kids fishing at the fish farm in No. Ogden.  When we went to Whitney last year Oaklie caught all the fish....McCall caught nada...  So this was an opportunity for all the kiddos to catch some fish.  We had a lot of fun.  I think McCall caught three, Oaklie caught three, Cash caught one, and I caught three.  Cash thought the fishing was fun until he caught one and that darn fish was out of the water.  Then it kind of freaked him out.  Joe literally was holding him tight to get the shot of him, Cash and the fish.  He wanted nothing to do with that thing.  Silly boy!  We even had fish for dinner that night....which says a lot because we are NOT fish eaters around here...(well, Joe maybe but definitely not me!) It really didn't taste fishy at all.  Cash thought it was chicken.  He told us that was good chicken :)

McCall - 7 Years Old

Our little Miss McCall turned 7 years old on May 5th! 

McCall - 2 months old

McCall - 7 years old

McCall is quite the little girl...She is so full of life, enthusiasm, happiness (most of the time) and keeping us on our toes.  She is the QUEEN of one liners and is always trying to keep us laughing.  So of the stuff she comes up with is priceless.  She was looking in the mirror in the car and said..Ummm...Ya I look good!  On the way to St George some churchy music came on and she said Not church music put something good on...Then we proceed to tease her that we were going to church down there.  She said, "I thought this vacation was suppose to be fun!"  She is our crazy kid and is always smiling!  She has the wildest hair ever.  It is a pain to brush or comb through.  Even when it is fixed....it somehow comes out and her wildness shines through!  She is getting to be quite the little student and has come a long ways from a couple years ago.  She is an awesome little soccer player.  Sometimes a little too awesome... Her coach told her she had to be nice and let others have the ball and score goals too!  She adores her little brother to no end and they play so great together.  They are the best of buddies.  She is going to show a bucket calf this year at the fair.  It is crazy how time flies!  I LOVE my little baby bug!!!
