Dental Convention!

This last Thursday and Friday I attended the yearly UDA Convention at the Salt Palace. My mom and Jordan each took a day to happily spend with Madolyn so that I was able to go to all the sessions. It was a lot of fun to see classmates that I graduated with from the dental hygiene program. I think we can all agree that although the courses are sooo interesting, the best part of going is to catch up with friends and of course get that CE credit. I wish I had brought my camera, but I suppose an entry will just have to do.

Happy Valentine's Day!

We had a simple but enjoyable Valentines Day that started out with Madolyn insisting on helping Daddy organize his sock drawer. I don't think that she was super helpful but it was fun to watch her try. It was nice to have it on a Saturday so that Jordan could spend the whole day with us. Uncle Mitchy was home from school for the holiday weekend and was willing to come and babysit Madolyn so that Jordan and I could go out for lunch and run some errands. We thought we would try lunch because last year we went out for dinner and waited a couple of hours to be seated at the restaraunt and didn't end up getting home from dinner until eleven. The day before Valentine's Day Madolyn received some new socks from Grandma Yee that she loved, but not because they kept her feet warm...it was becasue she could hit them against things and hold them in the air and talk to them. Isn't Valentine's Day fun?! It gives us an excuse to come up with surprises for other people including my little family. What a lovely day.

Madolyn and the basketball

Here are some pics and clips from the time we spent in Burley this last week. As you can see most of them are of Madolyn and her basketball.

Halloween Morning

I thought this picture was so funny; her tummy looks like a pumpkin- how perfect for Halloween.

Halloween

We decided it would be fun to have a family theme and since Madolyn made a good lion we went with The Wizard of Oz. With the help of Jordan's mom we put together a scarecrow and Dorothy costume for Jordan and I. We didn't do much trick or treating but we did make a round through Jordan's work to visit everyone there. No one stole our scarecrow and pumpkins this year and we did have about ten groups of trick or treaters...so I think we had an overall successful and fun Halloween.

Our Baby Lion

Madolyn makes growling noises all the time so we thought it would be fun to put her in a lion costume for Halloween. Well obviously it's not Halloween yet but I decided to dress her up to see how she looked in it ahead of time. She started out having a good old time being a lion. These pictures show the decline in her excitement.

New Teeth

October 12th- Madolyn's bottom teeth have been trying to come in for a little while. Sunday evening after coming back from Burley she and Jordan were looking in the mirror and there they were- they had finally popped through. This pic is a couple of weeks afterwards. In the top picture Madolyn decided that she would spit instead of open and eat- it splattered all over her face and she thought it was funny.
