So cute

I love this girl! She loves to watch shows with her sister before bedtime, even though most of the time she is sucking her thumb and throwing her body all over the couch! What a cutie!

best way to end a day

Icecream cones are the new favorite treat before bed and even Maddie is happy to get in on them (And yes, notice how Maddie refuses to smile for the camera but the 4 year old is more than happy too). I guess my love for icecream has rubbed off on them!

Girls getting bigger

I feel bad that I haven't been taking pictures very well lately, so I need to be better. I made these cute matching skirts for the girls and so that gave me a pretty good reason to take some before church yesterday. If only they would cooperate more.....

I think I am in love.....

with this little beauty! I got her for my birthday from my awesome husband and in laws and there is just no words to describe how awesome she is (and yes, it is a she). I have been in heaven the last couple of days making various little things and the list of what I want to make is endless....and don't even get me started on the strong feelings I have for fabric right now! All day, I wait for a spare moment to learn her different tricks. I go to sleep thinking of what I can do tomorrow. I just love her!

Oh....and here is just a sneak peek of one of the things I have made with this sweet thing. So all in all, it's not so bad being 28.

Taking a little trip to Cedar....

City to visit my sister Emmy and her hubby Wes. My youngest sister Krissy also came down with us, and was great help on the three hour drive there and back! We had a blast going to all of their really cool parks down there, the city pool, playing insane amounts of nerts, watching chic flicks (thanks for letting that go on Wes) and making delicious dinners and desserts since I was with the master chef Emmy! I won't even say how quickly the three of us girls downed a chocolate sheet cake we made! It was fun to go down there for a couple of days and we can't wait to go again!

Sammy=future gymnast I am sure of it

Maddie=also future gymnast. loves hanging from monkey bars. pretty strong little chubbs here

Tea Party

Today's adventures included painting my bedroom/bathroom, while the girls had a tea party. It was cute that even Maddie was invited to it (with some convincing from Mom). It did end in disaster but fun was had by all. I will post pics of my completed bedroom when finished. I should have taken before pictures but didn't-oh well!

Maddie 18 months old!

I can't believe little Maddie is 18 months old now! She is such a crazy cutie and we love her! She does constantly keep us on our toes and is always suprising us!

Loves: apple juice, playing outside, running (yes running and tripping) to the park, swings, slides, mommy, Sammy, daddy and grandpa especially, brushing her teeth, eating toothpaste and chapstick (I try not to let her eat too much), attention, being held, playing in the sandbox, popcicles, fruit snacks, pretzels, her blanket and dolly, sucking her thumb

Not Loves: baths, getting dressed, getting diaper changed, Sammy ignoring her, long car rides, pack in plays, skipping her nap

She is learning to talk and it's always funny what she repeats after me.

Well that's all the words I can think of for now. Anyhow, we love you Maddie May!

Also, I am saddened by the lack of postings I have done. I don't really have any excuse except for that I have been lazy and enjoying the nice weather outside lately. I am not going to slack off anymore though!
