Lily is daring, smart as can be, funny, a bully, silly, organized, a sweetheart, and a good little mommy to Max, Macy, and her "baby" whom she named Gina. She loves learning knew things, and focuses intently until she has it figured out! She loves to get wipes and clean the floor, wipe her face, and Maxes face, and anything else she could possibly clean. She adores Alec, and isn't intimidated by him at all even if he is playing kind of rough with her. She definitely loves it when Branden comes home and throws her up in the air or hangs her upside down. Her vocabulary is increasing rapidly, and she can tell you all the sounds that the letters make. She loves making animal sounds, naming everybody's various body parts, and hiding from me when I tell her to come!! She loves her blanky, her thumb, her baby (Gina), and spinning in circles until she gets so dizzy she falls down! She will jump off of anything, and will attempt anything she sees bigger people doing. She is fearless and a thrill seeker!! Oh yeah, and she is gorgeous!!

Siblings
Posted by Denise at 12:43 PM
Everyone is trying to get to know Macy. When Lily first got to "hold" Macy on my lap, I told her to give Macy a kiss and she licked her instead! Max and Lily love to give her her binky or hug and kiss Macy. Lily is always wanting to hold her. She also stuck a pretzel in Macy's mouth to share with her the other day. Lily frequently gives Macy her special blanky and is very sweet to Macy. Max is sometimes jealous when I am holding her, but he seems to love her too. Alec is delighted to have a new little sister and in his prayers the other night he asked for mom to have ANOTHER baby! I just started laughing during the prayer and told Alec to have mercy on me!! Isn't three babies at once in our family enough right now?!! Apparently not for Alec!
Welcome Macy Louise Neish! We love you!!!

Last week, on December 29th, at 9:52AM, Macy Louise Neish was born. She was 8 pounds even, and was 21 inches long. I had C-section, and we stayed in the hosital for 3 days. Alec and Max and Lily were not allowed to visit us at the hospital due to new rules because of the H1N1 virus this year, so I missed them a lot. Branden's mom and dad came through for us and watched the kids during that time, and then my niece, Fenja, came and has been here for the past week since we came home. Truly, I would not have survived without their help!!!
We love Macy so much already, and she is doing really well at home. Her brothers and sisters are adjusting well to having her here too!
We're Back!

For some reason I have just taken a long break from blogging! Life has been busy, but mostly, I just got out of the habit of posting some pictures occasionally. We had a fun summer, and Alec is now enjoying first grade. He is doing really well in school, and will be starting basketball next week.
Lily is running all over the place and is still our little firecracker. She is fun, full of energy, and definitely a character. Oh, and did I mention that she is a little bit feisty?!!
Max is the layed back, easy-going, friendly little boy still. The twins are almost 18 months, and he still prefers to crawl everywhere, although he can take some steps if we force him to! He loves to just roll around on his back and laugh, makes a lot of big messes, and smiles at all the pretty women and girls he can. (Just like Alec always did at his age!)
Branden is still working hard, but enjoys his job, and enjoys it even more when he can come home!
I am getting bigger and more pregnant all the time. Our little girl, who is due at the end of December, seems to be growing well and kicking a lot. She may be a feisty one too! We broke down and decided to get a triple stroller, so now I know that I will be able to get out with all three of the babies if I really dare to!
I will post more soon. Here are a few pictures from the summer and fall 2009.
Hangin in Cedar City with my girl

Branden took the week off work last week and we went to Cedar City, Utah to hang out with Branden's parents and attend a few plays at the Shakespearean Festival. It was great! We also got to see my sister, Chris, and her family in St. George for a couple of days. It was so hot the whole time, but we loved being able to see everyone. Alec had a lot of fun seeing cousins and his Nanna Nan and Grandpa Rob. Max and Lily probably had fun too, but they cried so much for every nap and wouldn't go to sleep each night in the hotel, that we decided we will not be traveling again for a while. Besides, we have baby #4 on the way now, and it's not going to get any easier to travel for a while. I guess this is my official announcement to my blog that we are having a baby at the beginning of January. The twins will be 20 months old, so it will be quite the party here! Just a few days ago we got to have an ultra-sound, and it looks like we will be having a girl!! YAY!! We were totally surprised to be having another baby, and then we were surprised that it was a girl. I'm so glad that Lily will get to have a sister, and grateful that we get to have another little girl in our family! 
Still crawling!
Posted by Denise at 8:52 AM
Max and Lily are almost 15 months now, and Max still is content to crawl. Lily has been walking for months now and can even run a little. But Max is the fastest crawler I've ever seen! Lily is going to be surprised at how much bigger Max is than she is when he finally does decide to walk! For now she just pats him on the head like a dog every time she passes him by.
