The Ginn Family Blog: May 2007

Memorial Day weekend - was a much needed time for us as a family. Rod is getting ready to go to Israel, mommy is getting the Rez ready and Maizy is along for the ride (FYI - she is amazing!) We had a great weekend hanging out with family and getting some rest. Mommy's cousin Jason and His wife Molly came to visit us from California with their new little guy, Jake! Jake and Maizy had never been together, so it was fun to have some time with them. On Memorial Day the majority of Mommy's family was together to BBQ! It's nice to have family so close during the holidays! Now onto what I know all of you want to know about...Miss Maizy. Well she now has 4 teeth and is working on two more! Our little pumpkin is a speed crawler and is into discovering the world around her, which means she is into everything. Mommy loves it, she thinks it is great to see the world through little eyes! Maizy now pulls herself up onto anything that is accessible. We think that walking may be in the near future! She is doing great with eating table food and like mommy she loves carbs!!!! The next big thing coming up is Maizy's 1st birthday! We can not believe how fast this year has gone - its surreal! That is the latest on our sweet baby! We love you all!

Aren't they beautiful!

These three are a kick - Maizy is trying to get Shayna to eat her hat!

How fun is this pic? Ariel, Shayna and Maizy laughing together and sitting on top of eachother!

Uncle Kent and Maizy hanging out in the sun!

Here we have all the second cousins from mommy's side were together for Memorial Day! It was so fun to have them all together!
I took 20 pics of this same shot and this is the best we got. But when you have 6 children under the age of 9 this is the best it gets!

She loves the water - which makes her Mommy and Daddy very happy. It's amazing how fascinated she is with every aspect of life. It makes me (mommy) stop and enjoy the simplicity of life!

Daddy and Maizy playing in the fountain!

What an adorable pic - she loves playing in the water!

Mommy's cousin Jason (Jake's Daddy), Madyson, Maizy and Jake! We were so happy to have Jake and his family visit us this weekend!

Playing with cousin Jake - more like eating cousin Jake's toy!

Maizy watching Jake jump in his jumper, with the thought of, "Why do I not have one of these?"

Hello everyone! MAIZY IS AMAZING, I know I continue to say this, but it rings true! She is hysterical, has attitude, loves people, knows were her nose is, cruises, pulls herself up, has 3 teeth with 3 more breaking through as we speak, and is sweet as candy! Things are well in our world and we are looking forward to an amazing summer with our daughter. Maizy starts her second set of swim lessons next week and we are so excited to see what she will do next. We love you all! Have a great Memorial Day weekend!

I am very strong mommy - look I am pulling myself up (and it is kinda hard!)

Sleeping beauty!

Headin' into grammy and grandpy's bathroom to play with grammy! She is seriously on the move now - and it is a blast!

Good Morning Grandpy!!!

Ummm... this is a new thing and it is quite funny. She scruches her nose and sucks in and blows out of her nose over and over. We love it and laugh often (thats why she does it all the time)!

Mommy's favorite girl!

Happy Mommy's Day! Maizy and Mommy playing together, celebrating Mother's Day!

On a walk with Mommy and Daddy!

I am on the move!

WOW, it has been a whirl wind the last few weeks. As most of you know we lost Grandma Haskett a couple of weeks agao. As a result Daddy, Mommy and Maizy went to the funeral in Kansas. We were able to spend a few days with all of Daddy's family. Despite the saddness of loosing Grandma we enjoyed our time with everyone who was there! Mommy and Maizy were never able to meet Grandma Haskett but we learned that she was an amazing woman! We also had never been to Daddy's hometown of Parsons, KS, it was so much fun to see where our Daddy grew up. We had a very precious time with Great Grandpa Ginn, we were thrilled that Maizy was able to spend time with him. Maizy was the hit of the party and brought joy where joy was much needed. It was amazing the amount of people we met when we were there, Maizy was held by a whole lot of people who love her. Mommy said, when she got home that she felt like she hadn't held Maizy for an entire week, but was glad that Maizy is loved greatly!

While we were in Kansas Maizy started to crawl and now she is on the move. I find myself constantly turning her in different directions. She has turned from an infant to a toddler over night, and I have to say there is fun, but a bit of saddness! Before we know it, Maizy will be 1 year old - can you believe it! I am so thrilled that now most of you have been able to meet Maizy. I don't have to tell you all, but we have an amazing daughter and we our blessed beyond measure! We love all of you and I will continue to keep you updated on our sweet baby's life!

Swinging on the porch swing with Uncle Bob and Aunt Marilyn's house. We spent lots of time at their house and Mommy and Maizy so enjoyed getting to meet everyone!
