Family Pictures 2010

Well...I finally talked Bruce into getting family pictures made. And I am so glad I did.  I love my little family!!!

Here are a few of my favorites.  It was really cold and Madi was a little tired but they still turned out great! Janica did a great job! If you like what you see, check out her website.

What we've been up to lately...

Crawling.

Playing in my crib when I'm supposed to be sleeping.

Looking cute on Halloween

Playing at the park

Helping mommy cook dinner. (Or should we say, sneaking food while mommy's not looking. hehe.)

And just having fun! :)

Trip to St. George

A few weekends ago we decided to go down to St. George and visit Grammy and Papo.  We had a really fun time and Madi especially loved playing with her cousins.  Here are some pictures of our trip.

Giving baby kisses to Maliya.

Madi and Lizzie

Fun times with Sara.  Madi really loves Sara. 

She loves Lizzie too but these pictures don't really show it. ;)

Madi was really excited to play and I think Lizzie just wanted to go to sleep.  Lizzie was a good sport though. 

We also went off-roading in the sidekick. 

Did Zumba in the park.

And celebrated Papo's Birthday!

We had a really fun time in St. George and especially hanging out with family!!

Fall

I. Love. Fall.  It is definitely my favorite season.  I love the colors. I love the cool crisp air, the crunchy leaves, the anticipation of the upcoming holidays.  All of it.  Too bad it is so short in Utah.  Last weekend Bruce and I decided we wanted to go on a walk, so we drove up a canyon to a cute trail that Bruce had found.  Being out in the woods during this time of year reminded me of the fun times I had playing in the woods with my brothers when I was young.  Here are some pictures of our hike/walk.  

Cabbage Patch Madi!!

Conference Weekend

This past weekend was conference weekend.  I love conference!  I love it because you get to spend so much time with family and I especially love hearing the words of our beloved prophet and his apostles as well as listening to the beautiful music of the Tabernacle Choir.  After every conference I always go away feeling overwhelmed with the spirit and a renewed determination to live my life the way the Lord wants me too.

In between sessions on Saturday we went up the canyon to a place where Bruce goes mountain biking with some guys in the ward.  There is a cute little park where they start so we decided to go up there and take pictures.  (I needed a picture for my teacher bio page for work. I went back to work coaching a few tumbling classes one afternoon a week.  It's nice to make a little extra cash and Madi gets to spend some quality time with Daddy!)  I think they turned out pretty well for our dinky little camera and having to set it on a trash can with the timer. hehe.

I Love My Daddy

We always have a fun time together and he always makes me laugh. 

He loves me very much and I love him too.
