Update

I think I'm a little blog happy today. By the way, Madilyn has been taking 2 two hour naps a day. As a Mom who's baby took very short naps, this is amazing to me. I guess she is starting to become more of a toddler than a baby. The naps help a lot with the work situation. Also, my neighbor and I trade babysitting one day a week so I at least have that time to get the really important things done.


Getting food all over the place. I always find it in the back of her hair. Gross!

Bath Time Fun

Madi loves her bath time. She practically swims around in the water. I think she's going to be a fish. Shana- doesn't she look like Kylan in the first pic?

Little Lady

Oh how she's changed. I think the first picture was when she was about 3-4 months old. Now her cheeks aren't quite as chubby and the belly isn't quite as round for sure. She is growing up to be such a little lady. I can put barrettes in her hair now and it's almost long enough for a pony tail. What a cutie pie!

Madi's room and the office.

More pics. We are still unpacking, decorating will come later.

Our New Lovely Apartment

We love our new place! It just feels so roomy and bright. I love the master bedroom; it's huge and has a walk in closet. The view is great too. I think we're going to like it here for the next couple of years. Thanks to all who helped with the move. It went so smoothly especially since we moved up the date by a week.

Who's kid is this?

Madilyn is in that squirmy stage where she doesn't want to sit still when I am changing her diaper. She really fights me lately and gets really mad. Lets just say this day I just gave up. She was perfectly happy roaming free.

Shox for all

We got to go to the Nike Employee Store this past week and got the whole family some sweet kicks. We went with friends (thanks Kunzers!) and it was like airport security to get in. We had to show ID and be on the list and for a minute I thought we might be turned away. Luckily, we got in and got to see all of Nike's new merchandise at lower prices. Half price Shox, how could I pass that up?

Working Girl

I have been praying for a while now to find a job would work with our situation. I just really wanted to help out with the finances while Trevor is still in school so we will accrue less debt and so we aren't so tight in our budget. The perfect job sort of fell in my lap last week and within 24 hours I was hired and had a computer, fax, cell phone, etc at my home. The best part is I work from home part time and it's really flexible ( and the pay's not bad either). What more could I ask for? I am so grateful to my Heavenly Father for giving me this opportunity. Sometimes I know that I just have to be patient and things will happen in due time. This was actually a great time because we just moved into a 3 bedroom apartment so I will have room for my office. Yea! Pictures will be posted as soon as the place looks semi good. We are still unpacking.

P.S. Does anyone have any advice for working with an active baby that takes very short naps? :)
