Growing Up




Maci is now almost 6 months old and is growing up fast! She loves baby food, sitting up, paper, her exersaucer, getting up in the middle of the night, her big sister, pulling the cats hair, and screaming for delight.

Madisyn's Third Birthday




Madisyn is now three! We took her to the Lehi parade and then to see Wall-E while Maci spent the day with Grandma. Her big present this year was a kitten which she named Dora, and getting to start gymnastics (or as she calls it - "match sticks"). She loves it! She also requested a Barbie cake for her birthday, pink of course. Madisyn is growing up and learning all sorts of new words and phrases. She asks Ryan and I if our parents can come over, but refuses to call them grandma and grandpa, she wonders when we can go to the village (?), and can't imagine why Santa Clause and Jesus have not come to our house to play with her.

Our Trip to Moab

We took a family trip to Moab this year in June. Ryan and Trent were supposed to kayak the 65 miles from Grand Junction to Moab and meet our families there, but (mostly) due to the high water they only got about 5 miles in. They did spend the night and had a great time doing the "guy thing". Madisyn, Maci and I spent a lot of time in the pool at our condo, though we did take the girls on one small hike and walked Main Street with them. Ryan did a lot of hiking and we all enjoyed the time away from home.
