so cute

These pictures were really cute so I thought I would post. Madi fell asleep on my bed the other day while I was getting ready. It baffles me that she can sleep this way, legs under her and bum in the air. Her legs have got to fall asleep or something. I often try to move her legs after she has fallen asleep but she usually just goes right back to this.

My little precious girl. I love hats on babies.
She actually kept this one on long enough to snap a picture.

Tournament Time in AZ

We all went down to AZ last weekend to work at the AZ Fall Classic Tournament that Trevor's family runs. We had a blast, got a lot of sun (and wind), and got to make some money. It was so worth the quick trip.
Some highlights of the weekend:
Batman nicknames on the walkie talkies
Fantasy football updates by Matt Spring
Wicked wind storm Sunday night that broke three tents.
Sno-cones from the concession stand
Lots of Dr Pepper
Snuck in a game of Alhambra. Trevor wins everything :(

Madi snuck in a visit at the pro shop. My mom watched her the whole weekend. thanks mom

Here is a look at my new haircut. Short but I love it.

Adventures in House Sitting

We house sat for the Church's over Conference weekend while they went to Hawaii. It really was a crash course for me in what it was like to be a busy Mom with carpools, soccer practice, spelling tests, play dates, dinner for 5, all the while working too. We had a lot of fun with Tyler and Bryce and Toby the dog. Madi and Toby became fast friends. Toby would sit by Madi's high chair and Madi would throw him food off of her tray. She was very interested in Toby's food too, but Toby was very protective. Luckily, she didn't get to taste any dog food the whole week. It was difficult baby proofing in such a big house. Madi rearranged almost every cupboard in the entire kitchen.

First Haircut

Madi's bangs were getting a little bit long so I decided she needed a little trim. Since I was already going to get my hair cut while we were in AZ, we made it a girls day and were both beautified. She was a little uneasy at first but then Candace brought out this car toy that did just the trick. She was so into that toy she didn't care what was going on.

The New Ride

We got a new car over the break and we love it. Our snuggly old car was breaking down on us. It is a Chrysler Pacifica, a crossover (not a station wagon). I wasn't ready for a van quite yet. It seats six so we can have at least 3 more kids, right Trevor? I'm ready to be a soccer mom already (or maybe a t-ball mom).

Oregon Coast

Okay so you would think our vacation would be over but no. Our friends the Olsens invited us up to their time share for a night on Gleneden Beach. It was beautiful. I had heard that Oregon beaches are the prettiest but I was skeptical. The water was freezing but luckily they had a hot tub! My favorite kind of swimming is hot tubbing. Tracy even came along and watched the kids while we swam. What a great grandma! We played games and had a delicious breakfast in the morning. It was a nice escape. Thanks John and Jessie and Sophia!

Our view from the condo. Gorgeous.

D.C. or Bust

We met Shana, Chuck, Kylan, and Brayden in Washington, D.C. and took a trolley bus tour. It was such a gorgeous day, perfect for touring. We saw many monuments, went to museums, got some good grub. What more could we ask for?

My Sweet Baby

Yes, that is a mohawk. She took out her ponytail.

My poor baby was so good on our trip. She was stuck in the kelty pack most of the time but seemed to like it. I think she got a better view that way. She even snuck in a few naps.
