Nice Surprise

Well us girls went down to Cedar City for a few days (and luckily the trip wasn't bad at all) and visited my sister Em and her awesome husband Wes. We had a fun time playing games (including Risk-sorry you were losing Wes), making treats and yummy meals, and watching some flicks. Sammy had fun with her new uncle and even Maddie enjoyed being held by new people! When we got back, I found a nice surprise. A beautiful bouquet of flowers, mostly gerber daisies which are my favorite! I love them! They are such a nice decoration to our kitchen and just make me feel sunny even when it isn't outside. Thanks Jake, your the bestest!

What have we been up to

you might be asking. Well, we went to Salt Lake on Wednesday to play with Grandma Friel and that was a lot of fun. Sammy was Scott's buddy for the day, my 18 year old brother! She was following him around everywhere and doing whatever he was, it was pretty cute. She also got her haircut and it looks adorable. I love it, plus it is a lot easier to brush, no tangles!
On Thursday, Maddie had her 2 month dr. appt and her stats are:

weight: 11 lb. 14 oz.
height: 22 inches

meaning she is in 75% percentile for weight and 30% percentile for height, proving she is a chubbs! But we love it! She did have to get 4 shots though and was pretty much in pain the rest of the day, poor girl. She then slept for 8 hours straight through the night and is feeling MUCH better today. I took these pics today to show off the haircut and cute baby!

Sammy insisted that the dog had to be in the picture!

Maddie's getting BIGGER

Treehouse anyone?

So if you are needing a fun place to go in Utah county that is indoors and free, it is the University Mall. They just finished the children's play area and it is awesome. I took Sam the other day and she loved it! They have a huge treehouse and slide, along with a water ball (like at the zoo), and all sorts of dinosaur bones to play in and on. There are also lots of benches around to sit on which is really nice. Anyhow, it was a great way to waste a few hours in the morning and Sam had a blast!

Bath Time

Tay came to visit today (Sammy's cousin) and they had a fun bath together. Even Maddie got in on the fun! So now we have three clean kids (and which they are all sleeping right now, amazing huh?)! Yahoo, we accomplished something for the day!

Maddie May

My little Maddie is almost two months old!
Likes: sleeping on her tummy, eating, being held and cuddled, kisses, sucking on her fingers, lights, warm baths with Sammy, and baby swing,
Dislikes: sleeping on her back, having her ears cleaned, carseat and traveling, and getting dressed.

Today

So today we went to the Dinosaur Museum at Thanksgiving Point with my sister and Tay. The kids had a lot of fun and then we went to McDonalds after, which Sammy pronouces it Mic Old Donalds. Then later tonight we had tacos and I tried making flour tortillas from scratch and they actually turned out really tasty. I didn't even let the dough raise or wait before cooking it and they were yummy and pretty quick and easy to make!
