Merry Christmas!

We had an amazing Christmas... the kids were spoiled--of course, but Grandpa D out did everyone!! He bought Micah a John Deere tractor... Santa should have just saved his money! Nothing trumps a tractor for Micah!

Here are all the photos we had taken of the kids recently. Julie did a great job!! We just loved her. I still need 39 comments to her blog... so if you haven't commented, PLEASE do so!

Madi's Blessing Day

We are so excited that GG, Grandpa D and Uncle Shane were able to come down for Madi's blessing day. Naturally, Madi cried through the whole blessing! At least she looked beautiful in her dress... the same dress Mommy wore on her blessing Day!

Pics of the Kiddos

Hey everyone... We finally got around to getting some professional newborn pics taken of Madi. Our photographer, Julie, was great! She was so patient with Micah while he showed her all his toys, and spent lots of time getting just the perfect shots of Madi--even waiting around till she fell asleep so we could get some of those so sweet sleepy newborn shots! Here is a link to her blog... www.photographybyjuliejones.com/sneakpeeks
Now I have a favor to ask. If everyone could head over to her blog and leave a comment that would be great. If we get 50 or more she has a special prize for me. So PLEASE go post a comment on these great pics!

Malibu on the Trampoline

I have had some requests to post a video of Mailbu's new favorite activity. As to be expected, the one time I have my camera with me to film her, she had a very sub par performance. I hope you can get the idea. It is hilarious.




Here are some pics of the kids this Thanksgiving.

Picture Update

Here are just a few pics from the last few weeks. Micah and Madi had a great time with Grandma and Grandpa Great! We got some real cute pics of Madi and Grandpa Great and a four generation pic with Grandma Great. Micah wanted to help bath Madi tonight, and actually did a great job being careful not to get her face wet. He is such a good big brother (when he isn't trying to feed her his green beans and carrots)!

Elder Gallagher is HOME!!!

Well... It's been two long years, but Elder Gallagher has returned. No one can understand a word he says, but Micah and he are becoming best friends anyway! He was welcomed home at the airport with a silly string attack, a new niece and nephew, and a surprise visit from Grandma and Grandpa. Aside from aversions to all things TV, radio, and girls, he seems to be adjusting well.

Happy Halloween!

My Pumpkins...

Here are just a few pics of my pumpkins... I will post more tomorrow of the official Halloween shots! (Micah isn't crying because he doesn't like his costume... He is crying because he wants to go see daddy at work... NOW!!)

Madi's First Bath and Micah Plants a Tree

Sorry it's taken so long to get new pictures of the kids posted, but with the move to our new house both our cameras were MIA for a while... We are finally finding things, and so here are some pics... GG gave Madi her first bath on her one week birthday. Micah helped, and he loves to help with anything that has to do with Madi. He has adjusted to our new addition very well... Much better than I was anticipating. We have had lots of projects going on at the house, but Micah's favorite by far has been planting our trees! He was mud from head to toe for two days straight, and he couldn't have been happier!!

Madison Rae Harris

Here are just a few pictures of Madison Rae! She is absolutly PERFECT!! She was born on October 4th at 4:30pm. She weighed 7 lb. 1 oz. and was 19 3/4 in.

Finding New Ways To Drive Mommy CRAZY!!

Micah is learning new things every day... a few of which could drive a mommy crazy!! Here is his new trick this week...



I guess if he is going to stick his fingers somewhere, I would rather them be in his mouth than his nose. Oh boys!!

Puppies!

Ten days ago my mom's yorkie, Kensie, finally had her puppies! Micah LOVES them! Hopefully they all survive him to love him too!

Well, we are finally back on Little Rock Air Force Base, trying to settle in… but life is always so exciting. Our biggest news this week is that Micah broke he clavicle (aka collar bone), and will be in a brace for three to four weeks!! I feel like a horrible mom, but at least he loves to wear his new “backpack”.

We have been home from our Utah/Idaho vacation for nearly two weeks now, but I am just now getting around to posting some of the pictures. I would also like to point out that I was lazy at the picture taking during the trip, so for all the family that has pictures you would like to share I would greatly appreciate it!!

Daddy Is Finally Home!

Michael got home from Afghanistan last Monday, and Micah and he quickly became BEST FRIENDS! They have spent the last week playing, and Micah has done a good job showing off all the new tricks he has learned since Michael left! Here are a few pics of how we have spent the last week celebrating Michael's return! We love you Daddy, and are SO happy to have you home safe with us!

Micah Is Walking!!

It's A Girl!!

Wyoming Trip

Here are some more pictures of our trip to Wy. They aren't in any order, nor do I promise that there aren't some repeats... Grandma and Grandpa Great and Brittany and Kylan came to see Micah. The boys have had so much fun getting to know one another. Enjoy!!

Here are some recent pics.... Micah and I are vacationing in Cheyenne, Wy so when we get home I will update our blog more thoroughly... This is just for those who need a quick Micah fix!

Micah has been very busy over the past few weeks. He is learning to stand up without holding on to anything, and he thinks that's pretty hot stuff. GG bought him a bubble machine and he LOVES it!



On St. Patrick's Day, Micah and Grandpa D played outside in all the clover patches. Grandpa D even found Micah a four leaved clover!

Harris Family Update

I guess I had better update everyone on my family! Michael is official deployed, and aside from the sand, which he says is everywhere and on everything, things are going well. When he first arrived in Qatar, the adaptor cord he purchased for his electronics completely fried all of his chargers (computer, toothbrush, shaver, cell phone…everything), but I quickly sent him replacements and we have been able to use our web cams to chat with each other ever since. He is working night shift, so aside from looking real tired, he looks good. He has been working really hard on school while he is over there and should complete is associates through the Air Force by the time he returns!!





Micah has loved being at GG and Grandpa D’s house. He just follows his Grandpa around everywhere, and gets into every cupboard and drawer he can. GG has introduced him to all kinds of new foods! He even had his first McDonald’s cheeseburger the other day. He loves to share whatever he is eating, so as long as you don’t mind Micah slobbers, it’s always a meal for two.


As for Mommy, the NICU has put me back to work!! I work Friday, Saturday, and Sunday evenings, and it works out perfect since GG and Grandpa D are home with Micah. Other than that, I just enjoy being a mommy, and letting my mommy and daddy take care of me again. The best of both worlds!!

Meet Sonny

We wanted everyone to meet GG's new dog Sonny. He is way smaller than our other yorkies but super cute!

Here are a few recent pics of Micah. We start off with some of Micah in front of our old house on the Air Force Base. Then there are some of him eating Cheetos at GG's house. Last there are some of Micah and the White kids at Austin's birthday party. Happy Birthday Austin!!

Family Pictures

Hey everybody! Check out benfieldphotography.blogspot.com for some of our recent family pics. We wanted to get some pictures taken before Michael deploys, and all I had to do was make a quick call to my old buddy, Dale! Great job Dale!! (as always)

SNOW!!

Here are a few pics of Micah playing in the snow. Sure he is in shorts and the snow is melting super fast, but he was still amazed by it (and maybe a little cold and wet)! I promise he was only setting in the snow for a few seconds!! I am only a little mean.

Bubble Bath!

Mommy's Confession

I must confess that I haven’t updated my blog recently because most of Micah’s recent pictures make me look like a bad mom!! Micah has learned the past few weeks that with new skills comes new spills, and his first black eye is proof of that!





Not only is he always on the move now, but he has learned how to pull up on everything... and he does!!





Mommy loves her Cricut (thanks I Love You Aunt Suzie)! Here is what I have been busy making, and there are so many more that I want to make. Mike is a little concerned that our house might turn into a quote book!

Happy New Year

Micah just wanted to wish everyone a Happy New Year!

Bath Time

Here is Micah playing with the bath toys that Santa left him.
