The Binky Fairy

Well we finally did it a few days ago the binky fairy decided to come to our house and take the binky away!! Maddison was so excited to send her binky off in the mail she wrote the address on it and then we walked to the mail box. Then the Fairy came and took it away and replaced it with a present!! This was all fun and games until it hit bed time and all hell broke loose. Sorry for the language but it was a disaster. I have never seen my child act that way before she was out of control. I wanted to give in so bad and say jsut kidding here is another binky but Dave was my strength and said that is will be good for her. It has been three days now and it is getting better not to much drama but Maddisons outlook on bed time has now changed. She does not want to take naps.... she wakes up way to early 6:00 a.m. and she lays in her bed and yells things every five minutes. I hope that it will get better it is the hardest thing I have had to do thus far!!
Maddison addressed and stamped the package to the Binky Fairy and was ready to head to the mail box.

Sending it away and saying good bye for the last time!!

The OUTFIT

Today Maddison picked out her own outfit and I thought it was so funny I had to share. Notice the great purple socks she insisted that we pulled them all the up. When I asked her why she said that her toes were cold. I little strange for cold toes in the middle of the summer???? HS emust be like her mom!!

ESCALANTE



Maddison picked up a few rocks when se stopped. She was loving it.

Every year we head down to Escalante to visit with family this year we went to the annual parade that goes down main and comes back up. We had a great time the weather was perfect and it was fun to be with the family. We went out about an hour south and shot rabbits and tried to find slot canyons. When we arrived to what we thought was the canyons we found a beautiful over look and a 12 mile hike to the canyons!! needless to say we enjoyed the view and will try the hike next year!!

THE ZOO

We went to the zoo with the Helquists, Lacey, Teresa, Jenny and Camden. The kids had a blast and loved seeing all the animals. Maddisons favorite was the giraffes!! She could stare at them all day if we let her.

The crew as you can it this was at the end of the day and everyone was getting really tired and ready to leave.
The good old lion drinking fountain I think that was there when I was little. It is a hit with all the little kids!

The Weekend

Last week was crazy we were busy busy with family reunions and gatherings!! Here is a few things that we did.

Jax had a blast to hanging out with the boys Carter and Hunter!


Just hanging out kickn it old school with Carter



Last weekend Maddison and Dave went to a family reunion and had a blast she got to hang out with her cousins and her Uncle Tyler and Aunt Lacey, did relay races and searched for candy and just had tons of fun.

This is the hiking crew it was a great hike and refreshing to get sprayed by the water!!
While we were there we went on a hike up to Stewart falls and she was quite the trooper as you can see on our way back down she fell alseep and Dave had to carry her home. That is what we get when we plan something during nap time!!



Then we went up to Sundance and stayed at the Helquists cabin for the week and Maddison was in heaven. She played with Camden and loved having a little friend to play with all the time. They would just call out each others name randomly just to see if the other were still there.

Memories

1. As a comment on my blog, leave one memory that you and I had together. It doesn't matter if you knew me a little or a lot, anything you remember!
2. Next, re-post these instructions on your blog and see how many people leave a memory about you. It's actually pretty funny to see the responses. If you leave a memory about me, I'll assume you're playing the game and I'll come to your blog and leave one about you.
