They said she is doing really well and was really impressed on how much she is talking already because she is connecting a lot of words together and even a few sentences. She is definately at the age where she really doesn't like the doctors office. She cried most of the time we were there. I can't believe how big she is getting.

Madi is a big girl now.

It has been a while since I have posted anything on here so here we go.
My baby is growing up she is now 17 months old and definately in the terrible twos already. First of all she is already in 24 month size clothes. She has her 4 front and bottom teeth and is cutting 4 mollars right now. She is saying so many words now (dog, cat, bat, ball, juice, this, that, milk, mom, dad, papa, up, ya, more,bye bye, hi) I am sure there is more I just can't think of them at the moment. Its is nice that she know some words but a lot of the time she still has a hard time communicating what she wants which is frustrating for me as well. She has learned how to climb up on the couch. She can now reach things that are close to the edge of the table or counter (not fun!) Such as the bowl of popcorn I just had popped and it went all over the floor. She is so full of energy all day she LOVES to dance. She really is at a fun age we play peek-a-boo. She tries to tickle you back when you tickle her. She gets time out A LOT because she likes to hit if you tell her no. Needless to say when we put her in the corner she stays there now if we walk away. She loves books but also loves to rip them apart so we are working on that as well. She will be going to nursery in church in 2 weeks and I am SOOOOOOO excited. She is so ready to be in there and I am so ready for her to be in there as well. Joe and I just received a calling in our "new" ward we are going to be teaching the CTR 7 in primary. Joe just started his last semester at OTC he will have his associates and will be transfering to MSU. It will definately be exciting he is really looking forward to taking mostly classes that have to do with his major. He wants to be a High school History teacher and hopefully coach football or something like that. Of course football season has started so needles to say between school, work, and football I don't see him much. I am still doing hair out of my home and being a stay at home mommy. We are actually ready to have another little one around so we are trying for another one. So far it hasn't happened yer but we hope we will be pregnant soon. I am really looking forward to the fall and all the fun holidays that come along with it. Check out my photos below.

Madi trying to get a teeth smile

Madi's cute new little pj's

We went to the park and Madi loved the swing

As always we got to spend a little time with the Beckers and had to give the kiddos a bath together and of course take pictures

Madi all dressed up for church her hair is even long enough now to put in lower piggy tails!

Our trip to Arkansas to see the Beckers

As we always do we went to go visit our best friends the Beckers over Memorial Day weekend we had so much fun like we always do. Our kids were as the usually are so cute together except Jeffery kept beating up on poor Madi he was pushing her over and pulling her hair but it was cute! They both learned how to give kisses so they were kissing everyone goodnight and well that even included each other so of course we had to get a picture!

It is always a definate must to give them baths together they are so going to hate us when they get older and see these pictures.

As girls went to the Rock Fest in Little Rock it was fun we ate philly cheese steak sandwhiches and got samples and after we went to the mall as well here are some pics

My Nieces are growing up

I just can't believe my nieces are growing up this last week I went to Izzy's preschool graduations and Arielle's Kindergarden graduation. They are getting so big and so smart it seems like just yesterday when they were barely walking talking etc. Man time flies by so fast!

Jeffery's 1st Birthday party

Madi got invited to her very first birthday party of a friend. Jeffery was so cute and wasn't very much into the cake but it sure was a lot of fun. Plus it is always so good to get to see our friends the Beckers!

All us girls that had babies around the same time

Easter 2010

This year for the first time in a long time I had my grandma and grandpa here. Plus she was so nice to make all of her great grandkids all cute matching Easter outfits. I was so fun! We did a little Easter egg hunt as well and honestly Madi wasn't into it but she did just turn one so I guess I can't blame her. Maybe next year. Any way here are some pics from that day.

Julie and Julia

I just finished watching Julie and Julia and felt inspired to blog. That was such a fun movie, it made me go through a lot of emotions. After watching this movie I want to learn to cook and blog more. I wish I had something more to blog about other then my day to day normal rarely changing routine that I have with me and my daughter.
Sometimes I wish I had something amazing and exciting to talk about. Some sort of adventure or journey. Wouldn't that be amazing? What would my journey be? Do you ever wonder what people will say when they look back on your life? What would the book of my life be like? Is it going to be boring and repetitive? Will people love it and feel inspired? Will people love me or hate me? Did I ever make a difference? Was I a good mother? Was I a good wife? Will people remember me or will am I just a the person they met once upon a time that they barely remeber what my name was?Did I do something great? Was I good at my job?
Well this was just me being me and blabbing so ya there it is.
