Pretty shoes...

Last Sunday, Madison looked so grown-up with her Sunday shoes and socks.

New pj's

The other day we were at target and they had this cute package of 2 pj's for $3.00, so we splurged. Her little belly is so cute!

We love our blue eyed girl...

Chris insisted upon buying this shirt for Madison. She looks pretty cute in it!

Random pictures and video

Here are some random pictures and video. Madison is walking every where and never crawls now. She does have a little cold and is not feeling well. Hopefully it won't last much longer.

Go Cougars!

Even though Madison was all dressed up for the game and cheered hard, the Cougars still couldn't pull out a victory. Dad can't take many more games like the last two.

I wish I could say these next two pictures were because the Cougars lost their game, but just a tired, grumpy baby that did NOT want her picture taken.

Before and After

This is our sweet princess before church. I would have to say she looked exceptionally sweet this morning. After church she was promptly stripped down to eat lunch before her nap. And it was her lucky day. I was making a cake for dinner and she got to lick the batter. I'll have you know there were cherries and chocolate on the beater, so not totally bad...

I think you can tell she enjoyed it--somehow chocolate got on her legs, too and underneath that cute chin!

Newest Trick

Madison wore this pretty yellow dress two Sundays ago. One sister commented that I better have 10 daughters because she's never seen Madison in the same dress and they're always so cute.

A new place to play...

Madison is everywhere and into everything!!! She discovered she can crawl up on this table and thinks it's pretty neat!

Utah trip continued...

On Saturday the girls went out to breakfast at Magleby's Fresh (delicious french toast and the yummiest syrup) and the boys golfed. While Madison napped Kendal and I ran to a few stores. The boys went to the football game. We went and visited our friend Carrie who had just had a baby and then we watched the game on TV with Chase and Dana. In these pictures Madison is wearing her other new outfit from Aunt Kendal--she sewed all these button on--isn't it so cute and don't you love her new converse shoes? That evening Madison was just walking everywhere of her own free will.

Salt Lake

We drove up to Salt Lake one day for fun. Madison wore one of her new outfits from Aunt Kendal. Chase and his girlfriend Dana went up with us.

This is quite the crew with their sunglasses on!

We went to Temple square. Madison tried to figure out a way to get into the reflecting pool, but Uncle Martin kept an eye on her.

It is so beautiful!

Our Trip to Utah

We arrived on a Thursday afternoon. We left Madison with Grandma and Chris, me, Kendal, Martin and Chase headed to Seven Peaks. We had fun and I love the new ride "Vortex" and Chase even built it! We had Cafe Rio for dinner to end a great day! Friday we went up to campus to help Chase buy books, browse the bookstore, buy chocolate covered cinnamon bears, look at the newly finished Hinckley building--I love it, and let Madison see the ducks. She has a fascination with birds, but she didn't really understand that these were birds, too because they waddle and swim instead of flying much.

Mama's big helper

Madison loves to "help" me empty the dishwasher (whether they're clean or not).

Fruits of my Labor...

The week before we went to Utah, I made jam. I had 25 lbs. of peaches. I made one batch of rasberry/peach freezer jam, two batches of peach freezer jam, three batches of cooked peach jam, and 6 bags of frozen peaches. It took time, but was worth it. The jam is delicious. This was one of the things Madison did to keep busy while I worked.

New Tricks

Madison is learning new tricks every day. It's amazing how fast she picks things up.
