Pregnancy With Nixon

We will induce Nixon 3 days early, on July 25th. I have one day left of being pregnant! (probably forever)  Yay!! Although I don't mind too much being pregnant.  This has probably been my easiest pregnancy. I think I threw up once towards the beginning. Other than that I really didn't get sick at all. I've stayed super busy, teaching 4 classes a day of swim lessons up until last week! So I do get way exhausted, tired, emotional and a little stressed. I've gained a total of 30 lbs.
Here are some pics I took a couple days ago, at 39 weeks along. We CANT wait to meet our little guy!!

My Little Princess Turns 5

Madix has been asking for the past year if she can invite Cinderella to her birthday party.  Her wish came true!  It was the best birthday party ever for a bunch of 5yr old little princesses!  Especially for my little princess!  So glad I could make her dream come true.



Go figure.... she wanted a princess party but insisted on a Minnie cake:)  What the princess wants is what the princess gets!






She was a GREAT Cinderella.  So she didn't look exactly like her but talked like her sang like her, did their makeup and nails while telling them stories about her "mice" and her what her bedroom looked like.  Did a crowning ceremony, danced with them, read a book and made balloons!

It was the best birthday party EVER!

On her actual birthday she got breakfast in bed, a couple gifts then on a date with dad that night.  They went bowling then for pizza and ice-cream.  What a great birthday she had.





Happy Birthday Madie Kai!!!
She is definently our little princess!  She LOVES to dress up and loves all her accessories, and pretty shoes.  She is our little Diva!  
She is also our little mom.  She is SOOO good to take care of Tayte.  Whenever we go somewhere where Tayte is uncomfortable (which is most places)  Madix just takes her hand and totally takes care of her.  She is so good to play with Tayte and share all her toys and read her books. 
 Her favorite activity is to play with her dolls and her doll house.  She carries her barbies and "brats dolls" around with her ALL day.  You never have to entertain Madix, she entertains herself all day.  Her favorite movies are The Bratz movies, she watches them over and over.  
Still our clumsy one.  She hearts herself at LEAST once or twice a day.  We feel like she needs to walk around fully padded:) She is also our "wanderer".  You have to tell her to do something 10 times because she gets distracted and off focus SO easily.  But she is a fantastic little girl and is SO easy most the time.  
She has the BIGGEST heart for a little girl.-  One little story- We were at my moms and all the cousins got some cool, long balloons to play with.  Braxton's popped and he cried and cried cause there were no more balloons.  As we were leaving, all on her own, Madix walked up to Braxton and said "here Braxton you can have mine"  Even though she loved her balloon and really wanted it, she knew how sad Braxton was.  What 5 yr old does that?  We were SOOO proud of her.  She does things like that often.
We LOVE her to death and is SO fun to have in our family.  Couldn't imagine life without her.
Happy 5th Birthday Mads!!!
