Open House!

I just wanted to let everyone know that will be in Show Low October 4th, that it is the Show Low Fire and Police Departments' open House from 10am-2pm at the firestation. It should be really fun, with lots of games and things for the kids to do, and free food and soda, so what gets better than that! So come and you can also check out Brian's new shop! Hope to see you all there!

Camping

We went camping over the weekend. It was a blast!! Except for the bugs! I don't know what it was but they where everywhere! I know outdoors= bugs , but they were really bad this year! Anyways we got a portable DVD player just in case it rained, because what are you suppose to do with a 2 year old in a trailer, especially if it rains a lot! And it came in very handy! We got a flat tire on the trailer on the way up to Hanagan's Meadow, and it rained the first day, and then we got a flat on the way home on the trailer. So needless to say Madi was an angle because she had her movies to watch.

Madi loved her little Quad! As you can see though she had a hard time steering and ran into the trailer!

I bought her some play makeup to keep her busy, and boy did it! She looked glam the whole trip!

It was a fun trip and I do like to camp, but It's good to be home!!!!

Potty Training!!!

It's been awhile so I need to catch up! Well we've had a horrible time pottytraining Madi! She was doing so good from about the beginning of May to June and then all of a sudden it just STOPPED!!! Now she drives me crazy! If we go anywhere she sure wants to use the potty just because she wants to check out the bathroom. But at home notta!! So then I had a bright idea to make a potty chart, and if she filled it with stars she would get her favorite movie Peter Pan. Well about 4 months later she filled it up and got her movie, but is she potty trained? NO!!! Hopefully she will get it soon and good by to pull-ups!!!!

Here she is proudly displaying her chart in her Cheerleader costume! She loves that thing!!

Kiddy Corral

We bought our house in October of 2007 and have always wanted to put up a fence so that the little ones would have somewhere to play. Well about 9 and a half months later it is finally finishes! HALLELUJAH!!!!!!! There is still a lot of work to do back there, but at least Madi and her cousins can wonder around now!



This is a picture of the side of the house.




Homeless Children? That's Brody and Kaysie (Cousins) with Madi. My mom gave me a bunch of dresses from when I was a little girl, so I let them play dress up with them and don't they look gorgeous. Yay for the 80's.






They are sitting in the only toy we have in the back yard right now. Poor kids. It's one of those turtles you put sand in. Well we don't have any sand right now and we have tried 3 times to buy a swing set and trampoline. But we can't find any on the mountain with out spending a fortune, so this is it for now. They don't seem to mind though. I think anyways!

ALOHA

I think I finally have my blog like I want it. It only took me FOREVER!! Anyways everything is going good here. My grandma Thomas broke her hip last Thursday night so we have been in the valley visiting her. She is going to be okay so that is the good news.

My little sis Brianne and her family moved to Hawaii the beginning of July, she mailed this little outfit for Madi to me and I got it today

ALOHA!!! She is adorable in it! She thinks she looks like a princess of course because everything is princess in her eyes.

YAY!!!!!

Ok, so I saw that everyone else has a blog, so finally I decided I should have one too! I am very, very, very new at this though so be patient with me! I'm going to try to get everything together and I will post something new soon! YAY!!!!
