Sam Turns One year Old

So no kid should be sick on their birthday. Poor Sam was so sick the night before his birthday and then all day until about 4pm. He was on the mend but poor kid you can see his rosy cheeks and he did not get to try the cake because we were worried about the effects.
He had a great birthday besides that. He loved the wrapping paper the most of coarse and his big sister helped him unwrap his gifts, blow out his candles and play with his new gifts.
He got a little Tonka garage. (I picked it because it folds up and is portable and small)
It was suppose to be a train cake. It fell apart in the pans and you can barely tell its a Train. Oh well better luck next year.
Sam Liked the candles. All in all He had a pretty good day. Its funny how you could skip the first birthday all together and they wouldn't really know. He was so oblivious that it was his birthday. Madee was way more excited about it. Anyway Happy Birthday my cute baby Boy. I can hardly believe its been a year since you joined our family. We love you and hope you have many more joyful birthdays.

Go Cougars

We went to our first Game of the year. Sam likes Baseball. It was really fun.
Madee would sit for a while but popcorn helped her last longer. We made it through half a game before they were ready for bed.

Sorry we had to leave early Lincoln. I know you like watching the whole game. Maybe the next game.

Visiting Logan

We decided to make a trip out to Logan because Kaytie my younger sister just had a baby. I know you can't even tell and yes she is skinnier then me two weeks after having little Annie.
We got to go to this cool little zoo in Logan with lots of bird and a few other animals. Grandma helped Madee across the rocks so Madee thought she would be so helpful and do the same for Grandma.
It was really cute.
We had a great time meeting our new niece and visiting. Thanks for letting us come out.
Sam also enjoyed walking around the zoo. He didn't last long but is walking pretty amazingly good by himself.

Exploring our Neighbourhood

About a month ago when we had a day of beautiful weather we decided to explore a little and we headed out to Pleasant Grove/Highland way. Just North about 15 or 20min. Lincoln found this cute little pond. There was actually a lot of people fishing but he brought the fishing pole. He tried to teach Madee because she said she wanted to fish. She lasted about 2min then was really for the park.
It was a really nice place with a park right by it so Madee, Sam and I headed over to the park and played so that Lincoln could actually try and fish for a little while. It was a fun afternoon adventure. We really enjoyed it.

Madee the fishing Pro!!

Easter Egg Decorating

Madee and I did our Traditional Easter Egg Decorating again this year. I got pictures of us actually decorating this time. Usually I remember after we are all done that I should have taken some pictures.

After we were all finished Madee wanted to peel her own egg and eat it. She has become quite the egg eater. I think colored eggs most be way more tasty then the plain white ones. At least that is what Madee seems to think.

Madee the photographer

Sometimes when no one is watching Madee does things we are not even sure of. I was down loading some pictures off our old camera and these are what I found. Madee the little photographer. Kind of funny!

Once upon a Time....

Once upon a time there was a princess named Arora. She was beautiful and Pretty and had the most wonderful singing voice. Not to many people knew but Arora had a sister. Named Sister. They loved to be together but one day Sisters arm broke off and Arora was so sad.They tried to mend the arm but it just fell off again and would it would not say mended they deemed her broken and into the garbage she went. Arora was lonely and Sad without her sister until one day a wonderful package came and Arora by some miricle was reunited with her sister Arora.
(Nana you may have never known but Madee had another doll just like this white one and it really did break. You have reunited a family. Thankyou)

Grandpa You forgot your PJ's

Madee's Grandpa and Nana Came from Portland Oregon to visit us about two weeks ago and when they left Madee found these PJ's and announced to us that Grandpa had forgotten his PJ's. It was very funny. So Grandpa if you are missing some PJ's...we know where they are!


It was really great to have Lincoln's Parent here. Madee and Sam both loved spending time with them and we got to do something fun to. We went to the Dinosaur Museum at thanksgiving point. It was pretty cool. Tons of hands on stuff for Madee to touch and explore.

Here is her coming out of a pretty cool tunel and having a blast.
Thanks so much for come and spending time with us. We love Nana and Grandpa!

Things we have been doing!

Ok I do have to admit I have been a very lazy blogger. We did a bunch of stuff awhile back and I just now am putting the pictures up for it. We took a trip to the local school right by our house to fly a kite because it was just windy enought to do it. Madee rode her bike there and everything.
Madee loves riding her bike and loves flying kits with her Daddy. We decided it was nice enough. This really says how long ago it was because It been wintery not so nice weather for the last week. So this was a few weeks ago. We decided it was nice enough to walk to the park like 8 blocks away. Madee did ride her bike the whole time. What a trooper.
Madee sure does love the park. We went on the swings together and played and played. It was a fun evening just our little family together.
So these pictures were an accident for some reason it will not let me bring up the pictures of us at bridle veil falls. SO here are cute pictures of Sam instead.

Sam is Walking!!

In the last three days or so Sam stopped holding on to things and started walking on his own. Its so cute to see him taking little baby steps everywhere. He is liking this new freedom but he is still wobbley. He has had a few face plants but he loves trying to keep up with Madee. He will definately get there.
