Good Morning from Batman

So, what's for breakfast mom? eh hem... I mean, Alfred...yes, Madeline picked out a Batman mask the other day at the store, it should go nicely with her usual outfit of pepto bismol pink and princess clothes.

Pictures!!

We spent an hour or so with my good friend, Lesley, the other day. Lesley is an amazing photographer as you can see-- I was doing a "shadow" of her since I took her photography class--which I HIGHLY recommend to anyone who is in Utah. She turned her camera on us and took some pictures, which we were delighted to have taken! And they turned out so LOVELY!! I am so glad too, because we haven't had pictures taken of Madeline in a while. And she totally captured Madeline's personality even though she was quite a difficult model.

I am only going to post this picture because my internet is taking FOREVER. But please visit Lesley's blog to see more... honestly, the girl is amazing... (can you name that movie?)

Logan Pumpkin Walk

On our way back from our trip to Utah, we stopped at the Logan Pumpkin walk (yes this was before Halloween!). It was so much fun and perfect for Madeline. She loved seeing all the pumpkins painted as different people and things. And we saw lots of famous people there, in Logan! take a look...

Harry Potter!!
The Prophet!!
Ariel!!
Some pioneers...
And the "lego my eggo" add. See the m&m pumpkin hidden under the breakfast table? The m&m pumpkins were hidden in each display, which was kind of fun too.

It was a great Halloween activity!

I'm back!

Hi! I'm back from our long hiatus. Yeah!! We have been cleaning, packing, unpacking and getting adjusted up here in our new home town! Adam loves his new job and we are getting used to things. Get this--it snowed today! It's OCTOBER 4th!! I walked out to the car to take Adam his lunch and it was hailing! Yes, not just rain anymore, or snow, but hail! So much for that grass seed I was supposed to put down! The season went from summer to winter here. Fall? What's fall? You know the nice long sleeve shirt month? Where you're a bit nippy but not too cold? We are into heavy sweaters, coats and boots here. It's all out. I shouldn't have even bothered putting them in the basement!

Anyway, here are some highlights since we've been away, enjoy! ( My sewing project blog post is coming up next so stay tuned, I just HAVE to finish my skirt first!)

Hello? My glasses are upside down? WHat?
This was at MJ's second birthday party at my mom's house we had the cutest little tea party for her!!

MJ as a My-little-pony!
Madeline and her Nana. Isn't this the sweetest picture!! I love it!
Madeline's first piggy tails!! She adores them!
Sunbathing with her baby in the bathroom. Hmmm... maybe we should talk about modesty? oh wait, that's my top! lol.
Adam and MJ playing in Jenny lake at Jackson Hole, WY.
The four girls, doing what we love best, playing and singing old show tunes and duets! Nana plays the piano, Susan and I play and my mom sings, it's always so fun and it always ends too soon.
MJ and friends: Haley, Kendal, MJ and Lincoln at our last get together with the law school gang. We already miss them tons!
Madeline as a princess. Yes I made this dress, I know, you want one too. I mean look at that twirl!

Ok, I still haven't learned how to rotate my pictures. I am what they call "technilogically lazy" I just don't care enough to rotate my pictures. Oh well. You'll just have to tilt your head 90 degrees. But isn't this the cutest picture. The caption should be "good dad".

One last thing to leave you with... Madeline's new phrase. It kills me everytime! I know everyone thinks there kid is the cutest, but really, is there any contest? Just watch this video...

Hiatus

All of you ardent followers of my blog have probably noticed that I am on hiatus from my blog. Adam is taking the bar next week and then we are packing up and moving-- so please join me back here in September!!! Here are a few cute pics to tide y'all over...

Happy 5 years BABY!

   This picture was taken last month at Silver Lake the place where we had our very first kiss.  We have tried to go back there several times, but never could because of snow, road construction--one time a semi got jack knifed on the road and we were stuck behind it-- and so it just seemed so fatalistic that we had had this one perfect night there and were destined to never go back again.  When some of our friends invited us up there last month, we decided to try our luck again.  Five years after our first kiss, we posed for this picture in the exact same spot where we kissed the first time, never having been back there before.  

  This isn't very romantic, but like I told my friend this morning, "you know you're with the right person when you're still not sick of them after 5 years."  I could probably phrase that better, but you get the drift.  Adam still makes me laugh at the same jokes I've been laughing at for the past 6 years, he still makes me smile when he winks at me, and he can still get me to cry by writing me a love note.  Still not sick of it!! 

 Happy Anniversary Adam!  I love you!

Can anyone find me in this video?  I'm there for appx. 1 second!  My 5 seconds of fame--or 1 second rather!  If you guys haven't seen these yet, they're called "Mormon Messages" and their part of the Church's new media campaigns.  My friend, Rachel's husband Travis makes these for the church, and their kids are all the cute little kids in this video. He asked me and Madeline to come pose for some pics, it was fun to be a part of it.  Prize to the one who can find me, and yes, the prize will be something I CREATE.  haha.
