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.
