First Day Of School

Madison has been asking me for two years when she would be able to start school. Believe it or not, the day finally came for this little girl. Madison's first day of Preschool was on Tuesday.

I love Madison's face. She is so darling!

Madi was being quite silly with her posing. Too funny!

Here is Madi in her new classroom.

She is absolutely LOVING school. She is so excited and feels so lucky to get to go to school every day. (I hope she keeps up her positive attitude throughout her life!) She is making a lot of new friends and loves to come home and share with me what she has learned. I can't believe my girl is getting so big! What a fun stage Madison is entering. SO FUN!

Uncle Devon!!

We were lucky to have Uncle Dev-O come out and visit us last Friday night. Madison and Hyrum LOVE Devon and they both ran to them when he came over!!



We had the pleasure of meeting Devon's good friend, Kaylee.

We made pizza together... and it was yummy! :)


And after much laughing and monkeying around...

We decided to eat some ice cream and watch a movie together. We had so much fun- it was sad to see Devon leave us so soon. We love you Devon!

Summer Days In Utah

I know we took our trip to Utah back in July. But I got a cd full of pictures from my family that I couldn't pass up to post. Here are pictures of some of the things that went on that I don't want my family to forget.


We got to pick up Uncle Devon from the airport coming home from his mission. We love you Dev-O.


Madison got to spend a lot of time with her Aunt Caitlyn who she loves so much! Every time I ask her where she learned something she says Cait taught her. We love you Cait!


And lastly, one memory that we had of the Utah trip was Hyrum and I getting the swine flu. (cousin Carter and Aunt Hilary got it too.) It wasn't the funnest memory, but it was a memory, nonetheless. AND I couldn't pass up posting the sweetest picture of Uncle Devon and Hyrum resting together.

All of the cousins got to play together. They had so much fun together- despite some of their faces in the picture. They were so darn cute together!!

We got to celebrate Hyrum's and Madison's birthday together with this monstrous princess jumper! The kids... especially Madison LOVED it. Thank you Papa and Grandma... you spoil us rotten!!

My most talented sister Caitlyn cut both my hair and Madi's hair. We also got to feel special and act as models for her. :)


We had many many more memories and pictures, but this post would go on forever. We had the best time with our whole family together this summer!!
