Madi's Shoe obssession and more.

These are Madi's Christmas PJ's that I got her on black friday for $4!

Most of these next pictures are Madi walking around in someones shoes. She just absolutely LOVES shoes it doesn't matter whose they if you take your shoes off and my place Madi will snatch them up and start walking around in them.

We got this couch for Christmas from Joe's parents we really like it and love having a lot more space to deal with. Our old couch was a huge sectional and it just took up some much room and was really old hand me down. Its kind of fun this is the 1st brand new couch we have ever owned. 

Its so crazy to think Christmas is right around the corner. We can't wait! We have Christmas with Joe's side on Sunday the 19th. Then a lot of my family from my side on my Mom's side are flying in from Arizona and we will get to spend a week with them! Lots of stories and pics to come!

My Constant Companion

This lately has been pretty much all you see. Madi is my little shadow and constant companion. It used to be that she would go to Dad when he got home and follow him around and it was great because I could get things done. Now she will hug Dad when he gets home and then continue to follow me around like an eager puppy. I haven't really decided if I love it or not. It really depends on the day. Some days it is super cute and helpful and other days it makes it absolutely impossible to get things done. I guess I should enjoy it while I can because this will pass and I will most likely miss it when she likes Daddy again. I guess it's all part of being a mom.

Primary Program and my class.

I don't know what it is about primary children but they just have such a place in my heart. Yesterday we had  our wards primary program and I of course was up there since Joe and I are teaching the CTR 7 class. I think I cried threw the entire program their sweet little testimonies just touched my heart. I love/hate being in primary it is a tough but rewarding job especially when you are spending 2 hours with 14-7 to 8 year olds. But honestly I love my class funny enough as it is I taught this class when they were 4 turning 5. Then after that I was in the primary presidency. Then we moved away for a year and a half and now that we are back we got assigned the same kiddos just older. It is amazing to me to see how much they have grown and matured (not by much but some more then others lol). Some who have come out of their shell and are no longer shy. Now they answer questions in class and most of then have been baptized. I just think these kids in this particular class with just always hold a special place in my heart and are teaching me soooo much I love you guys.

Madi's 18 month check up

Madi just had her 18 month check up on Wednesday. Here are all her stats

Weight
28 lbs 4 ounces
95th percentile

Height
31 inches
25th percentile

Head Circumference
18 3/4 inches
90th percentile

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!
