Oh POOP...

So this happened awhile ago and I decided not to embarrass Jon by repeating the incident. But twice I mean seriously! So today Jon said I needed to get out of the house, finally I got to leave. I went tanning and picked up some treats from a local grocery store to watch with the Dark Night (which we love). Anyway got home and we're watching movie while I'm trying to feed Maddie. Its routine to change her half way through the feeding because she seems to wake up after being changed. She was really fussy and she's been sick so she hasn't been eating as much as usual. So I wasn't sure if I should change her just yet but figured might as well cause she won't eat anyway. Jon ran and got me a diaper and wipe. I was situating the diaper when I noticed a yellow tag stick out above her leg. What the? Jon! JON! Not again! Jon was like what? I opened the diaper to find poop everywhere and the previous diaper the change before shoved inside. Jon starting laughing really hard and said I wondered where that went. Followed by no wonder it looked so heavy. All I could say was where the heck were you, why can't you focus, twice Jon I mean seriously. Poor thing had to carry around all her poop from like 5 hours. Yeah believe it or not this was the SECOND time so from now on dad must be monitored while changing any diaper.

Photo shoot!

Today Maddie had her first photo shoot by Little Angels photography. Their website is littleangelsphoto.com, they are pretty big around this part of Utah. A friend gave me a coupon for a free half hour session, but once I got home I realized how expensive the prints are. Sheesh but hopefully one will turn out I plan on buying the copyright of the best one. I want a big potrait sized picture for the huge empty frame that has sat in our home for the last 2 yrs and the cheapest single studio potrait was priced at $250 yikes. Not to mention it would be more than my mom paid for my wedding pictures if I bought it through the studio. Inkleys or Costco will do just fine for me. So once I got home I got to thinking about the poses we did and dressed her up again to see if I could take any that would turn out. So here they are, dad liked them!

Mmm...sushi

This was our favorite roll that evening.



Calamari (squid) salad


Even I thought it was good.

Shin-sei Sushi downtown Ogden on 25th St, not our favorite customer service was awful.

So Jon and I used to be frequent mexican food eaters whenever we went out we tried a new restaurant. But the last 9 months we've been obsessed with sushi. Here's a list of the places we've been and what we thought.

Ogden-

Tona (nice atmosphere & excellent customer service)

Windy Sukiyaki (cheaper rolls & wonderful customer service)

Shin-sei (probably won't go there again waited over a hour for food)

Moses Lake-

Tsunami sushi (friendly service)

Kennewick-

Sushimori (quick service but small building like fastfood)

We also went to a place in SLC that we loved and a place in Logan with Melissa's family over a year ago, just can't remember the names.

Its Been Awhile....

I realized that I haven't written for some time and my mom got my camera mailed to me yesterday. SO since the last post we went home to Washington for Thanksgiving week. Madelyn was blessed in Othello first ward on Sunday the 23rd by her father and had her Gpa Walker, Uncle Heath, Uncle Brandon, Cousin Sean, Great Uncle Marlo, Great Uncle Jay in the circle we wished all the brother in laws could have been part of it, that would have been a huge circle. Everything was perfect even though Jon said it was the scariest blessing he given in his life. My mom was sweet enough with all the things going on that week and previous weekend to have everyone over for lunch afterwards. My older sisters threw a baby shower which was tons of fun and I appreciated everyones adorable gifts. We ended up staying in Washington till that Friday driving home on Saturday. Maddie was pretty good in the car, on the way down she was an angel and on the way back she was a sick baby so it wasn't the funnest ride. The next day Carrie, Eric, & Lillie came to visit. It was so fun to have her here and to get to meet my cute little neice. She was such a doll!
Jon's bday was on Saturday, so on Friday we went with his dad Vance and Brenda out to dinner at Windys Sukiaki. For sushi of course, its actually really easy atmosphere eating in your own room to bring a newborn baby. We had a lot of fun and pretty much were spoiled. Saturday Jon played football while I tried to throw together some sort of bday gift. It was pretty lame because I can't ever get out of the house. So we went to Costa Vida for salads then over to the theatre to watch Twilight. Sounds like it would have been my bday huh? But Jon said that it wasn't as bad as he expected and would let me buy it sometime in the future. Poor Jon was nice enough to take Maddie out once she started to cry at the BEGINNING of the movie. But I guess he was able to watch from the hall to the exit. What a sweetheart all because he knew how bad I wanted to see it. Maybe next time we'll be able to get a babysitter. Speaking of twilight I sure wish I hadn't heard all the bad things people had said because I couldn't help but notice what I may not have else wise. But I'm excited for the next one to come out, now that I've finished all the books I need something to feed my twilight need.
We're excited as Christmas approaches, I need to get out and get my presents. I hate guessing presents I really wish Jon would just tell me exactly what he wants and I wish he'd ask exactly what I want. I hate to think either of us will waste money of gifts that we didn't need or really want. Can't wait to see everyone again Christmas week.
Here's a bunch of pictures from the last couple weeks.
