As my previous post states, I don't get along that great with this blogger site, and that statement is still accurate. :) I uploaded many pictures and I hope to be able to give you a story line and a great update... but they appear to be out of order and all mixed up. SO alas..... scroll through and enjoy and I will try not to be frustrated with the annoying unorganized, scrambled pictures and little comments...
SO.... Madison turned two! Crazy right?!? This little punkin had the day of her life! We let her wear her favorite Dora p.j's all day and we just had a laid back fun day for a little girl who turned two!
Apple Slices!!! Right on!
A streamer runway! This was probably the best part of the whole day for her!
She got a potty for her birthday! This is not your ordinary potty either! This baby sings when you have a successful potty break! :) Ha! Who knew they made such amazing things for little girls to go potty on?? I mean it really is a throne!
With a throne comes panties for the little princess..... Already catching on!
She got a backpack for her birthday... it has Elmo on it and she loves it! And she also got a little cowgirl outfit and she decided she needed to wear the belt! So funny.... What an outfit right?
So take a time out and we are going to rewind a little bit....
I threw this one in here just to simply show the unusefulness of this wonderful pet gate. :) Ha ha... it actually helps quite a bit... but I found it very funny and interesting that my child had managed to crawl through the tiny pet door... and then proceeded to leave the room the same way. Shesh... it was suppose to be for the cats to use.
I am throwing this picture in here just so you can see kind of how Madi's room is set up now... It is messy and crazy... but I promised to put up some after pictures.. and this is the best I found... You will see if you look closely this is more for a mischevious act by Madi...
And here is an upclose... She found the baby powder after a nap... and while it seemed like a rather long nap.. I was unconcerned because she was quiet so I figured she must have been really tired and needed an extra long nap.... Little did I know...
She was busy busy busy....
Whoops....
And another time out mischevious act! She found the diaper rash cream and proceeded to cover her face and her baby's.... Always thinking of others right?
This is an after picture of our living room.... Messy and unkept but I said I would post them..
How cool is this little girl??
Okay so another switch of direction... For Brian's birthday in June, I bought him tickets to a motocross event down in Vegas! We turned it into a very nice getaway for the two of us... and we had a blast!!
So to all my fellow wives... This is what happens when you turn your hubby loose at the rental car counter. Apparently we got a "great deal" and lucky us... we got the "last available car in the whole rental car place!" Ha ha ha... but bless his little heart he had a very enjoyable time driving it. :)
And I guess I did too! :)
We went exploring in a Casino/Hotel place and found a neat aquarium so we decided to check it out!
And I'm pretty sure none of you will care nearly like we did... BUT after the aquarium we went outside and there was a huge promotional thing going on for the motocross thing, as well as nascar or some sort of car thing... and a few other events going on that weekend... BUT we happened to be outside at the same time Jeff Emig and Kevin Windham were signing autographs... Like I said... I know most of you have no idea who these guys are... Let's just say it was very exciting and so much fun to actually get to meet them!! And the proof of a picture! :)
We got to go to the Las Vegas temple with my best friend and her hubby!! It was a beautiful temple!! They all are.. but with all the lights it was amazing!!
So like I said.. out of order... but at the Airport!
So here is my hubby very excited to be taking another picture with me! :) This was at the actual thing I bought tickets for. It was the Monster Energy Cup if any of you are actually interested enough to want to know what we went for..
And yes it's true... Sad but true... it was time to get rid of Buck Buck... so on our way back we bought a new vehicle... (which i LOVE!) A lovely Pathfinder... so as to not be stranded in the snow or pummeled by a semi in the lovely land we live in now days! :)
Good-bye Buck Buck.... We had some wonderful times together! I will miss this car!
SO AGAIN... rewind... this is back in August I believe...
Look at these cool babes!
Water break
King of the Mountain! :) No worries grandma is strategically placed behind little Madi to gaurd her from falling...
So a big discovery we had over the summer were the "Hops!"... Grasshoppers were fascinating to her! She LOVED them... she even started hopping because of them.. She will hop everywhere if you ask her to now... And she was not afraid to get a little close to the little bugs...
Must examine closely!
They are so cool!!
So we had a garden... and Madi and I spent lots of time there... the basil got so big Madi would back up right to it and sit in the plant! So funny..... We had great high hopes for some great peppers and fun pumpkins, yummy potatoes, carrots, onions, squash, cantelope, watermelon, corn, cucumbers.... BUT...
Alas, I live in the artic tundra and before my peppers and things could ripen the frost came and killed it all in one night! p.s. this was in August.... :(
This were the rewards we reaped... Most of it was not ripe enough to eat... :(
BUT... I did just set my green pumpkins on my steps and over time they turned orange and by Halloween they were nice and orange!
Our lawn!
And we have adopted a new kitty... he showed up at our door step meowing... and being the suckers that we are we couldn't bear to let him shiver in the cold... so we said we would let him in for 1 night. So he camped out... locked in the bathroom... and alas we still have him. :) Lets just say we hope no other dropped off homeless animals come scampering out way!
His name is PITA.... :)
