Park fun!

Mady before:

Now:

My baby girl is growing up!

Racing to the swings!

Here's some of us from my Macro class sorting clothes from our clothing drive for the Haven shelter in Idaho Falls. I don't remember if I was trying to look like a dork, or if that's just how I smile.

Mady's new favorite place to hang out is Barnes & Nobles

I tried to get a picture of my new glasses. I finally gave in to the dry horrible Rexburg weather... can't stand wearing my contacts more than two hours or so. Since at my last eye exam, my eye doctor kindly reminded me it was illegal for me to be driving with corrected vision.....

Sorry Amanda, not the best picture! These are our friends Amanda & Wade and Wanita in the back. Jack is in the back too, but I guess you can't see him. Amanda was babysitting Mady while I was at school, but they moved a couple weeks ago :( This was on our trip to get Chinese food... which I wish I had taken a picture of, SO MUCH FOOD!

This is Mady at our FAVORITE place to eat, Original Thai. We love Thai food. like obsessively. They know us and we practically don't have to order. It's sick. The best part is, Mady loves Thai food too!

It's been a while!

Mady's first time falling asleep during dinner :)

We moved again! We LOVE our new place. We decided to move when our last electric bill was over $400. We were in an older house that was SUPER inefficient. We found a great place for a good price, so we took it! Can I just say, I forgot how wonderful it is to have a dishwasher? And a garbage disposal? Ah, the simple joys in life ;) You can kind of see in the back of this picture, but we actually have color on the walls! I misplaced our camera in the move, although I've got a pretty good idea of where it's at if I could ever get around to it. I have some cute pictures on my phone of Mady, but I can't get the cable to work, I think it's broke.
The place we moved into has a clubhouse... that has a SWIMMING POOL! So we've been going about every other day, and Mady is obsessed. Also, we're back to being a three member family! Levi moved out Monday and Lillie went home to Alaska about a month ago. I'll miss them both, but wow it's great to have some privacy again...

It is mid-terms already! I have been staying pretty busy with school... and it's gonna get even busier! In 3 weeks we have our internship fair, where we'll go and meet different internship providers in the area, and hopefully get selected! I'll start in April, which is coming up so fast!

Mady is doing great, she gets cuter and more wild everyday :) She's really had a language explosion and is speaking in sentences now. She amazes me everyday with how much she is learning, and it's really fun to see what she'll do next.

Can't think of a clever title.

This is the knife Lillie got though airport security... it was just in her purse, she forgot about it. We realized after we got all the way back home that it was in there.

My little girl is OBSESSED with reading books before bed. She is also starting to say three word sentences. She has also mastered getting naked in record time, and running around announcing that she is 'naked.' Mady is also getting pretty good at getting her clothes back on. She is very independent and HAS to put her socks and pants on by herself. She's also taken to helping herself to the fridge, which is not so amazing. I never had a lock on the fridge/freezer because she couldn't reach the handles before :)

Oh... and we're moving!
