We had a big group(around 50)We had lots of fun playing ping-pong, chasing all the little piglets, riding horses, decorating gingerbread houses, playing cards, watching Christmas moves, going on a hike, taking naps, and of course EATING!! I wish I would have taken more pictures of the other activities! (especially Spencer when he almost caught a little pig)

Bling Bling

Yep, we did it!! (Nov. 24) We took her to Clair's and got her ears pierced. Madison didn't do as bad as I thought. Spencer held her making sure she couldn't move her hands and I held her head still. That is the part she hated most! That's when she started to cry. Her pitch didn't change when they pierced her first ear. The second ear she got a little louder but as soon as she got to move and cuddled she quit fast. I was surprised. since then they haven't bothered her. We think she looks adorable.

1/4 of a Century!!

Yikes the big 25!! Last Monday was my birthday. I can't believe I am 25... Are you kidding?? YIKES!!! I had a wonderful birthday full of fun activities. My family all came and surprised me for breakfast. (Dad made yummy waffles) Then I went to work, running, and met Spencer for a very good luck at "My Big Fat Greek Restaurant." It was so yummy! I highly recommend it if you haven't been there. (it was our first time) I got lots of fun stuff for my birthday!!! I got a dehydrator (yep, can't wait to make jerky, apples, ect), jumper cables for my car, pie server, sweater, and a ONESIE!!! I have always wanted onesie PJ's. Spencer thinks I look rediculus and can't believe that I wear them! He said I look like the grinch. haha!! Thanks everyone for making my Birthday WONDERFUL!!

Love Her...

How could you not just love this little girl!! She is such a great baby! I love that she is smiling more and more now. I can't believe how fast the time goes. I saw a little newborn the other days. That's when I realized how big Madison has gotten. She had her 2 month old appointment today here are her stats:
*Ht: 23 inches 65%
*Wt: 11.3 lbs 47%
*Head: 40 cm 80%

This past weekend was so much fun!! It all started on Friday. That night we drove up to Phoenix and stayed at my-in-laws house. We had fun hanging out with lots of the family and enjoyed a yummy pasta dinner for the triathlon we had the next morning. It's always fun to visit with the family! We love them and miss them tons.

I wasn't planning on doing this triathlon because, I knew I wouldn't be in good enough shape 7 weeks after having Madison. About a month before the triathlon my brother Justin broke his big toe and so he couldn't compete. We decided to put a team together to compete. I did the swim, Justin rode his bike, and my sis-in-law ran for us. I'm not sure why I swam because that is my weakest event and I hadn't swam for over a year. Let me tell you it killed me!!!
That's me hoping to be able to run over to the bikes, I was DEAD!!!
Jessica (sis-in-law) Katie (sis-in-law) and Me finishing up the run. (I kept Jess company)
Team "Hollywood" (3rd place)
I got to see my good friends Melissa and Kristal!! They did awesome!! Landon (bro-in-law), Jared, and JJ also did the triathlon. Everyone did great. I didn't get a picture of everyone:( but I did get a picture of... Remember him from Biggest Loser... Sionne (sp?)

After the Triathlon we raced back to my in-laws house and got ready to go to Phantom of the Opera. It was AWESOME!!! Thanks Spencer and Landon for arranging it!! I have ALWAYS wanted to see Phantom. I finally did!
Thanks Nana and Granddad for watching Madison.

After the show we raced back to get our family pictures done. Thanks Katie for doing that for us! She emailed me a few...


I can't wait to see them all.

After pictures we ate at one of my most favorite "Chipotle," and visited with all the family. Thanks everyone for making it a great weekend! We love you tons and can't wait to see you again!!

It's ALL official...

It's now official. Our house is up on the market. If you know anyone that wants to move to Sierra Vista let me know. It's in a great neighborhood and I love this house!


I never thought I would say this... it's official... Spencer sold the mustang. It was actually a sad day for us both. (more so him)



I can't believe is official...
Madison is now 2 months old!! I can't believe it! She is the highlight of our lives! We love everything about her. For the most part she is a very good baby!

She is a really good sleeper. She still loves to be swaddled when going to bed. Madi takes 2, 3 hour naps a day and wakes up only 1 time during the night! I am so lucky!!! (even if she gets crazy bed head)

She LOVES her bath tub! I got this bath tub from my water aerobics class and wasn't sure how it worked I read about it on line and Madison LOVES it.



She still loves her bouncer and sometimes would rather be in it then be held. She no longer likes to be held like a baby unless she is really tired. She likes to be held up where she can see everything. She is a very alert little baby and doesn't like to stay still. Our Dr always comments on how wiggly and strong she is for her age. Now that I am working again, Madison gets to come with me. The ladies LOVE Madison! She is such a good girl while I teach. She just hangs out in her stroller and when I have clients she just sleeps or hangs out in the famous bouncer. After spending the day with me she loves when Daddy comes home. She loves to be sang to and Spencer does it every night. Her favorite seems to be "Soy un hijo de dios," which is I'm a child of God. We love this ADORABLE girl!


I officially have short hair!! I have been wanting to cut it for a long time. Today was the day. My cousin cut it and it's short but fun. We ended up going shorter than planned so I could donate it to kids wigs. Spencer was a little nervous when I sent him the first picture but when he saw it he said he really likes it.

Madison's Blessing

On Sunday November 1, 2009 Madison was blessed. I am so grateful for a worthy Husband that gave her a beautiful blessing. We were lucky to have lots of friends and family come. Madison is lucky to have so many people love her.

*Madison and I were blessed in the same dress that my Aunt Caroline and Mom made for me when I was a little baby, and the beautiful blanket her Grandma Haymore made for her.
