Pool Time

At the beginning of July we set up Madolyn's little pool in the backyard. It was her first time playing in the water outside. She was a little hesitant at first but once she got in she loved playing in the water, as you can see.

Madolyn and Tori

A couple of months ago we got to watch Megan and Chris' little girl Tori. I've been meaning to get these up, so here they finally are. Both girls enjoyed getting into whatever they could together.

Daddy in Charge

These were taken a couple of months ago along with many of the pictures I am posting today. It's probably about time to update this blog. Madolyn was excited that Dad was home from work but as you can see he was a little sleepy so he plopped her on his stomach and while he napped she sat there and read her book. She got to sit with Dad and he got to sleep, both content.

The Aquarium and Jordan's birthday

These pictures of Madolyn and Uncle Mitch were taken after the aquarium visit. Madolyn decided it was a lot of fun to put Easter eggs on and off of Uncle Mitch's eyes and he was nice enough to let her even though it looked a little painful.

Well both of these events are old, in fact both were back in the beginning of April but I wanted to try to catch up anyway. We went to the aquarium with Jordan's family when everyone was down for his nephew's baby blessing back in . Here are some pics with Jordan's siblings, parents and grandparents. As for the birthday pictures. Aunt Kristin came down to watch Madolyn so Jordan and I could go out for his birthday dinner. Madolyn's birthday was two weeks before Jordan's and this time she figured out what to do with wrapped presents and joyfully helped tear all the paper off of daddy's gifts.

Saturday with the Asays

Madolyn isn't quite walking yet, but she loves to hold on to our hands and walk. She had a lot of fun with Aunt Jeanice who spent much of the evening being led by Madolyn who likes to choose the direction she goes.

We had a really fun last Saturday. In the morning Jordan and I went to a friend's wedding at the Jordan River Temple. After that we headed to Ogden where we met up at my cousin Marcus' house with my Aunt Jeanice and other cousin Jenny and her family. It has been such a long time since we have all spent a day together just hanging out and catching up. My cousin Marcus and his family are moving to Oklahoma for dental school so we probably won't see them for a little while so this was kind of a last get together before they head out. I can't believe how much Marcus and Jenny's families have grown. We had such a good time with everyone, it reminded me of when we were little and would spend several days together at a time.

A Whole Bunch of Birthday Fun

Well, it has been an eventful last week or so with three birthday parties for Madolyn and a trip to Sacramento. Lots of Thanks to our wonderful family who wanted to celebrate Madolyn's birthday; because they were in different places and couldn't be at our house on her real birthday they threw us two parties and then we threw one at home. Here are a whole bunch of pictures from everything except for Madolyn's birthday at Aunt Kristin's house which we will have to get from her later.

The Cake

At Madolyn's last birthday party(the one on her birthday), we decided to undress her down to her diaper and let her have at her birthday cake. Well we were expecting her to attack and demolish the cake but we were a little surprised. We set the cake between her legs and instead she just starred at the cake. Jordan put her little hands in it and she started to shake and fuss trying to get it off her fingers. Then in the middle of all that her foot accidentally touched the cake and that was it. She pulled her leg back and started fussing and shaking as if she was terrified of the cake. As sad as she looked we couldn't help but laugh because it was soooo funny to watch. Poor little thing, we washed her down and she wouldn't have another thing to do with that cake. Fun fun.
