She hates my new camera!!

When ever I pull out my new camera I get major scowls from Maddox!! I have tried to 

sneak a few in but she is not being very helpful. 

Kept closing her eyes...I told her to OPEN her dang eyes and this is what I got!!

Veyo Pool

Ok so I'm sorry all my posts are about us and water but as you can tell we love it and am really enjoying
our visit to Utah and all the playing we are doing. We went to Veyo pool with Brinlee, Kimber, Krista and Addison. We had a great time and their food is amazing!!

Veyo pool is so cool...it is set down in a canyon with beautiful lava rocks and greenery all around

Brinlee and Kimber hanging out in the pool

8 Month belly shot...my belly gets plenty of attention from Maddox :) 

Sand Hallow Wednesday's

The last few Wednesdays have been spent soaking up the sun at Sand Hallow with my family. We go early so we can get the smooth water and LeAnn always packs a yummy lunch. Trying to stay on the tube with my dad driving is quite the accomplishment. Thanks dad for the great time at the lake we love you. 

Pirate Island Pizza

Today we went to Pirate Island with Nicki and her cute clan!! It is a awesome Pizza place in St. George 

that we are missing like crazy. The kids had a blast and me and Nicki finally got to meet!! Our husbands 

are friends and working hard up in Alaska so we can have these fun play dates...Thanks Boyz!!

Maddox, Saylor, Makenzie and Jaxon

A week in review!!

This week was fun and pretty uneventful! Maddox has mastered jumping rope on the tramp since she 

can't quite do it yet on the ground. She is pretty proud of this accomplishment! 

After jumping rope we took the plunge and finally tried the "pink cookies" and loved them!

After cookies was more trampoline time which turned into singing instead...

We have been doing some crazy hair lately! Maddox sits so good and rushes right to the mirror after I'm done. I can't figure out if that is a good or bad thing.

Jason's friend Josh is in town and let Maddox take a dip in his hotel pool. She is my water baby for sure.

I thought this sign on the wall was pretty funny! I told Mad she couldn't pee in the pool or it would turn pink.
She said "well mom I don't like pink, can it turn purple instead" Next time I will remember to tell her
a purple cloud would follow her around if she pee'd in the pool.

We had a really fun play group on Tuesday at Karens. Thanks for a good time girls! Play group is always the highlight of my week. I just need to get better at taking more pictures. Karen sorry my child was picking your beautiful flowers :(

Followed by a healthy breakfast today of pink rice crispy treats!!

Thursday fun

I don't always write about Thursdays but we had a great busy day. Maddox has been working in a 

prekindergarten workbook I got her. She is doing good and surprising me 

everyday with things I didn't think she knew. 

She begs me to work in her book all day!! Guess I can't complain about that

She took a flower picking break out in the rain

Then after Jason came home took a trampoline break

25 Week Belly Pictures

I have been slacking on the baby updates! Sorry I didn't realized how fast it goes by. I don't have any pregnancy pictures with Maddox so I have vowed to be better, sorry Mad. I am 25 weeks now and feeling a lot better, yey!! I feel like I am gaining all my weight everywhere else and the belly is finally catching up. 

Ellie has her night and days mixed up and jumps around all night making sleep hard. Her head is in my ribs and her tiny toes down tromping on my bladder. You gotta love my chubby white arms in this picture. 

I know I said the last bare belly picture would be the last but I guess not!! It is easier to see her
on my translucent white skin then my black shirt :)

The new Tramp...soon to follow with...The first broken arm. Just Kidding!! I hope

This weekend in Juneau was beautiful! We were in shorts most of the time and outside soaking up all the sun we could get. After lunch at the Hanger we went Shed shopping and ended up at home with a trampoline.
Maddox absolutely loves them and we have been looking for one since we moved here. Fred Myers was having a sale so we took the plunge. We opted to wait on the net enclosure until she starts doing crazy stuff!!

She says this will help her be a better dancer...

or scare me to death...one of the 2

Rare moment of not moving

Happy chick...I'm happy to cause she gets worn out and sleeps like a champ!

Easter Fun!!

This Easter we had a ton of fun! Jason has been in Ketchikan for what seems like forever and was able to come home for a day. With him gone I couldn't go shopping for Maddox some Easter stuff very easily so had to grab all this last minute. Maddox was so excited that the Easter Bunny found her again all the way up in Alaska. Last Easter we where camping and she was wondering if he would find our camp site but he always does ;).  He spoiled her with a soft fuzzy duck, a robe, denim skirt and sandals!! Not to mention sidewalk chalk and a ton of candy that better last for a month!!

She has wanted a robe like her grandmas for the longest time...

Jason got a new clock that projects the time on to the wall. They are awesome and the one we had just
pooped out on us. Wow he looks happy or tired I can't tell.

This year went by so fast. I stumbled on a few pictures from last Easter and can't believe how much older Maddox looks. We went camping just outside of St. George with Jason's family.
