Feeding the ducks and St George.

So the last little while our lives have been about the same. John working and looking for new jobs and tiny and i at home learning and growing each new day :) but we just got home from going to st george. It was a blast. 100 degree weather and lots of swimming and boating. We were only there for about two days which made the seven hour long drive there and back long but it was worth it :) here are some pictures in so particular order. John, mady and i feeding the ducks. Our halloween decorations, mady sitting in her new green chair she loves to climb onto and of course our st george trip. Enjoy :)

AHHHH A FLY!!!!

we were eating dinner last night and Mady sitting in her high chair was following a fly fly around the room. it landed in front of her and as she continued to watch it, it started walking towards her she flung herself away from it screaming. It had scared her so bad her eyes were huge. I swatted it away and told her it was OK she looked up with her lip pouting out and looked for it again. She then looked at me and cried so i picked her up. Hahaha it was so funny. She will let a dog maul her but if a fly even comes near she flips out :) just like her mommy, hates bugs. Haha you may not think it is too funny but we thought it was hilarious. It is moments like that that you thank heavenly father for blessing you so much as to be a parent. John has had some more interviews and we are still waiting to hear back. Our neighbor is pretty high up at direct TV and told john to apply and pulled his application there. I hope he gets that job so badly! they pay for your phone,free direct TV and Internet, give you a truck, good benefits, and some of the guys make anywhere from 1,000 to 2,000 a week!! that is 4 times the amount he makes now!!! it would be such a blessing if he gets that job. so pray for us... :)I did something bad yesterday. I wanted Mady's bangs cut so she didn't eat her hair all the time but i did it myself.... thanks to john.... oh you can do it coya it looks awesome! YEAH RIGHT!!! Mady now looks like she has a mullet but she is still cute... poor girl :) here are some pics... mady taking a bath, she gets into everything now even the cupboards...she is trying to walk more and is doing pretty well :) us at the fair,mady in her new swimsuit and mady in the hair cutting chair! :)

Ups and downs...

wow what a crazy last little bit! after we got back from Utah we had a small break like really small then Brandon Kristen and Ethan came to visit!!! it was so much fun to see them i was at my parents house more than my own place to quite a while :) Then there was the Murri reunion!!! so much fun! one of the most fun years in the last couple years, granted last year it had only been two weeks since i had just had a c-section :) it was fun to see everyone! and also my husband one "The Murri ring-toss tournament!" For those of you who don't know this is BIG!!!! :) first in law "Outsider" to ever win!!! :) i was so proud! i was so nervous towards the end i couldn't even sit down :) haha the sad part is i never believed in him ha ha each time her played i would see his face and go "dang it he lost".... "WHAT HE WON??!!" he he it was fun to see him win :) He is official a Murri sorry john your past the point of no return :) he he... another up... we just celebrated our three year anniversary :) it was fun and john got me these .... :)

On the downside my dear friends Megan and mike Jorgenson had their two week old boy pass away. I cried like crazy when i heard the news and even more today at his funeral. i feel for the loss of these two wonderful people and only wish there was something i could do to help them. I know they will get through this for they are very very strong and through the Lord all things are possible. Megs you are in my every thought and prayer and i love you very much as I'm sure many others do!

Utah Vaca :)

So this weekend... long weekend john and I and our friends Laura and Bryan Rovig went to Utah. We had a blast minus some little bumps in the road. We left Saturday and went to Tahcanos... it was pretty good then we shopped for a little while at the gateway. Then we headed to the condo after getting some groceries... We watched batman begins. Sunday we went to Laura's grandmas house and had dinner and looked at some really cool cameras from like the 30's! it was cool :) Then Monday we went to raging waters. It was fun all of us got a little fried. That night we went and ate at the restaurant buy the condo. Not so good of an experience there. They didn't have very many options and it was expensive. The view was gorgeous! and the weather was wonderful but our waiter was horrible!!!! The next day we went to lagoon and went on many rides and watched two cool shows. Well Laura and i went on a ton of rides Bryan did OK but john didn't really go on any. The boys felt sick all day and john threw up on the water ride rattlesnake rapids. He then was sick while driving back to the condo and that whole evening. Poor boy... i hope it was heat exhaustion and not the flu that is the last thing i need right now especially with the Murri Reunion and Brandon and Kristen and Ethan coming!!!! I'm so excited! :) we traveled home yesterday after taking a dip in the pool. And it was good timing because it was raining crazy like all day yesterday. I missed my baby like crazy but i had fun :) it is nice to get away and relax... when we picked up tiny she wouldn't let go of me and only smiled if i held her... if anyone else held her she would cry, including john :) it made me happy... then after putting stuff away i fed Mady and she fell asleep cuddling with me :) :) :) now back to normal life until next weekend when we go to the cabin for the reunion!!! YEAH!!! :) here are a couple pics from the trip :) sorry there aren't more :)






Here are some photos of Mady with her toy tyrel and vandy gave her for her birthday. She like to take the rings off and put them around her wrists like bracelets :) its so cute. my little girlie girl :)
