Oh brother...


I love this picture. She was so excited after we took it she grabbed the stem and put in her mouth. Wish I would have got a picture of that.

My valentines present along with a sewing kit and a.....Brother Sewing Machine! Wow, I know happy Valentines day to me! Jon did good. Now I need to learn how to sew.

Maddie's rose with mine. Yes that is my kitchen aide I do use it, I even made banana bread and it was goooood.

Tiny TV I know, I was trying to take a picture of her standing on my lap.

She loves to smile, like this. Almost like she's shy.

Flower made by my good friend Heidi.

A good picture of her long lashes! If you look close enough.

The only reason I took this was to show you her "fuzz" its similar to hair.

For Your Entertainment...

Just some updates, Maddie loves her bouncy chair and the Golds gym swing. She does ok in her own swing but the one at Golds gym is quite snazy & it's got a rotating mobile that she loves to stare at. It's so funny at the end of the night to go into the nursery and see 3 babies swinging in unison. I'll trying to get a picture of it sometime.

Our latest story to tell happened the other day. I woke up at 4:30 as usual and her Maddie softly crying. I walked into the dark bathroom (yes she was still sleeping in her carseat in her bathroom) and decided I had to use the restroom so I started in that direction stepping on her blanket (not unusual she likes to kick off her blankets) and then there was a strange moan. I stopped in my tracks and looked down. In the dark I realized she was laying on the bathroom floor! Somehow she wiggled out of the carseat, and landed perpendicular to the carseat. I freaked, I had almost stepped on her and I didn't know how long she had been laying there. That morning I checked her for bruises, she was good. But needless to say she has slept in her crib since. And she's been so good in her crib, why hadn't I thought this would work before. I just elevate her in the boppy.

She's been such a chatter box lately and she's learned how to growl. Its so funny and now she screams randomly. That's a little embarassing when all the little old ladies in your ward want to hold her and she screams at them. Oh well.

Besides that we're all mostly well Jon had a cold and Maddie has had a runny nose all day. But I guess it could be worse, her second round of shots are coming up. Jon was playing football for a semi pro team, however last weekend his best friend popped his ankle out of place and tore some tendons. Jon had to drive him to the ER, and they told him he'd have to have surgery. That night we decided maybe it'd be better if he played when we had insurance and things were a little steadier financialy.

We're All Smiles :)


This replica is in the church museum, amazing it always seem so small. *Please note it is actually 2 feet shorter than the real thing. Maddie slept almost the whole time, it was awesome.


This isn't a smile, but I love when she wears her little bear suit. I just imagine her crying "I can't put my arms down (Ralphie)".



Darn the bad lighting, I really like this picture. This dress was the christmas gift from Gma W.


I can't believe she's no longer a tiny baby, now more like a little girl.


Aunt Hoda, we had lots of fun with my family visiting. Jody actually tried to hold Madelyn this visit.


She loved her aunts and Gparents, there were lots of smiles. Must have been all the attention.


I think she was getting tired of all the pictures, but she loved Katie. Katie is a 10 yr old in a sassy 16 yr old's body.


I like her smile in this. My hair was in a half pony, its not really that short.


Here's one of the goofy smiles.


This was actually one of the first smiles. Its just been awhile since I posted pictures.

Blowout!


This happened alittle while ago, but I remember thinking "what is this"?


And then thinking "Oh NO".



And then thinking "ewwwww", just thought I would share. I hope this isn't too inappropriate.
