Madison's first camping trip!

This is for my Michigan family! lol!

Gpa and Madison waiting for me and Nick to

survive our hike!

Madison's bath on our "camping" trip!

Sam was a good sport to let us put Madi on him!

She actually stopped crying when we did this!

Daddy got her ready for church and put her in her

bouncy and she fell asleep!

Nick is too tan....... But doesn't Madi look cute with

sunglasses on!?

Madison's sunblock! Don't worry I rubbed it in!

Nick is a good babysitter and Madison loves him!

He carried her around like this and she fell asleep!

Nick's "Wild" horse!

Hawk Eye and Bodacious! Mine is cuter! lol!!

If you look to the top of the picture that is

where we had to climb back up to!

So I have been informed I am really bad about keeping my blog up.... SORRY!!!! Anyways so everything has been going really well! Madison is not being as cranky now that her tummy is getting full! She is a very gassy baby! She can let them rip better then her daddy! hahaha! She is smiling so much now I love it! Brett wasn't able to see it for the first while because when he got home she was either sleeping or hungry! Now though she smiles at her daddy and has conversations with him it is so cute! I have to tell you though the other day I was in the other room getting ready to go somewhere and I can hear talking from the front room and I come out to see who Brett was talking to and there he was cooing and talking and just having such a good time with her! I could just see his face glowing it was the cutest thing I have ever seen! Madison was just sitting there smiling and talking back! He might kill me for putting that on here but oh well everyone has to know he has a soft side! haha! So my dad, Nick, Madison and me went to Bryce canyon for a weekend away and had so much fun! Now our kind of camping is done in a 5th wheel with a toilet and running water! We are just a little spoiled! Madison actually was a really good girl the whole time! I never knew how bad of shape I was in though until my dad told me and Nick to go on this hike down this really steep hill with a billion switch backs! Going down was the okay part the coming back up was....well lets say when I got up to the top I was sweating(sp) so bad and about to pass out so I had to hold onto Nick for a long, long, long time! I wanted to stop and rest on the way back up but then I realized I was almost at the top and if I stopped then I may never make it the rest of the way! Not to mentioned I wanted to get to the top so I could strangle Nick because he was running circles around me! LITERALLY!!! I could have just pushed him down the hill! lol! just kidding love you Nick! My dad had a good time watching Madison though. Well that's what he said! My dad also got Nick and I horse back rides and it was so fun! I did a lot better then Nick though cause he doesn't have a butt and I have more then enough to share! Nick's horse (BODACIOUS) and my horse (HAWK EYE) had issues though. Nick's horse kept putting his nose up my horses butt so then my horse would fart in its face which was hilarious because then Nick would have to smell it and our horses weren't walking fast enough to make the smell go away! It definitely made me laugh so hard though! So on a more serious note now. My grandpa Snow past away this week on May 25. He died of an Aneurysm on his Aorta valve. It is a relief though because he was in an extreme amount of pain. His funeral is going to be this Friday. My dad is handling it really well for the moment. I think when we get down there reality will set in for everyone but for now we are all doing okay. For some more news my brother Robby almost died the other day! He was river rafting on May 24 with some guys and his raft flipped over and ran him and another guy over. The other guy was able to get back to the raft but Rob was swept downstream and was caught by the park rangers. He was in and out of consciousness and hypo thermic. The two guys were life flighted to a hospital for evaluation. He ended up being fine just banged up pretty good and was able to talk to my parents and tell them not to come. Thank heavens he was okay! I made sure I yelled at him and told him not to scare me like that again or I'll have to kill him! lol! Anyways so its been a fun week for my family as you can tell! But for now all is well and hopefully things will get a lot better! I hope all is well for everyone and I am sorry this is so long!

St.George Trip

She looks so tiny in her car seat!

This is her favorite binky! Her uncle Nick

got it for her!

Nick and his favorite girls!! hehe!!

Great Grandpa Snow and Madison.

Uncle Corry and Aunt Meg. Its weird to see

Corry holding something pink instead of blue!
She holds her head up so well!

This is Kylee. We have to coax her to play with Brett!

Okay we were mean and put her in Kylee's bouncer! Her feet didn't even come close to the ground!

She is just so cute in this dress!

This is is Cadillac (left) and Roxy. I got them groomed and they were no very happy!!

Well Madison is getting bigger by the day! She is almost too tall for her newborn outfits! It makes me so sad! We thought for a little bit that she was Colicky but after talking to Corry and Meg we figured out that it was me drinking soda that made her tummy hurt! So sadly I had to stop drinking soda and life has been so much better! We went down to St. George about a week ago to be with my little brother Nick as he went through the temple. It was so awesome to be there with him and spend time with him. It makes me sad to see him all grown up! Corry and Meg made it up from Las Vegas and so we got to see them and got to play with Kai! He is the cutest baby ever! Well excluding Madison! (no offense guys!! lol! love you!) He laughs and giggles and when we put Madison next to him he just wanted to touch her! It was cute! He would just sit there and stare at her too! But of course she was a brat and cried the whole time that we were there! Oh well hopefully we have solved the crying issue so next time we see family she will be happy! My grandma and grandpa Snow got to see her for the first time too that was pretty fun! She loves her great grandpa. He would hold her and talk to her and she would just sit there and stair at him like he was the coolest person ever! It was cute.
Madison is still rolling over but every time I try to get a video of her doing it she won't roll over! I think she is camera shy! We haven't gone in to get her first set of shots yet but I am dreading that day! I told Brett he has to be the mean one and hold her cause if I hold her I might cry too! Especially being as emotional as I have been! I am guessing she weighs about 9 or 10 pounds now and her cheeks keep getting bigger and that double chin of hers......well its now almost a triple chin!! I don't know where she gets all those chins but they are pretty cute! She has started to sleep about 6 hours in a row at night! It is so nice to get 6 hours of sleep in a row! After the 6 hours is up though she is up about every 3 to 4 hours but that's okay cause i got 6 hours in a row!!! Her hair is still curlier then ever! I have to put a little moose or gel in it to make it not fro but its so cute and its the one thing that I am claiming to be mine because everything else looks like Brett!!
Exactly 2 months from today Brett graduates from the police academy! I am so excited!! It will be nice to have my husband home at a decent time and actually get to see him and spend time with him! He is really excited because last Saturday they went to the shooting range and he got to shoot his gun! This is why I think he wanted to be a cop so he has a reason to play with guns!! He is in really good shape now though and I just want to smack him! I can finally start working out a little again so I hope I will be able to get back into shape pretty quick. It is starting to warm up here now and it is so nice! Summer definitely is my favorite time of year. I just can't wait to be able to bring Madison to the park and swimming and everything. Well I can't think of anything else to write so I hope everyone is doing well!

Grandma and Grandpa Reeves!

Aunt Rachelle. Madi totally passed out on her!

Well my little brother got his mission call! Yeah that's right he is almost 19!! He is called to serve in the Baton Rouge, Louisiana mission! He leaves July 2, 2008. He is speaking English but I am sure he will come back with a southern accent which will be so cool! Then he and Brett can speak in their own little southern language! I am so excited but so sad at the same time! I know he will be an awesome missionary. I am just so excited for him to go eat all the good food! He doesn't like fish and stuff so I can't wait to hear about all the fish and craw dads and everything that he has to eat!
Life is going well. I miss my husband all the time. He works from 8 am until 3:30 then I see him for an hour and off he goes to school until 9:30. His schedule is going to get worse before it gets better. He is so excited though because this week they are doing an intro into guns and teaching them how to clean them and stuff and then within the next couple weeks he gets to start shooting! The only thing that sucks about him starting this portion of the class is that he has to do night shoot towards the end and that means he is gone from early in the morning until at least 10 or 11 pm on Saturdays. Oh well he graduates July 8 and so I am so excited especially because I will be able to see him again! We are going to Massachusetts this summer for a week with my mom's family and we are so excited! It is seriously going to be so much fun. Nick will barely miss this trip which is sad. Corry and Meg and my cute little nephew Kai are going to be able to come though which will be fun cause we don't get to see them very often because of Corry's work and plus they live 6 or 7 hours away which wouldn't be fun to travel with a little baby! Meg and Corry are such cute parents! They are so lucky too beacause Kai is such a happy baby! (well at least what I have seen!) He loves his daddy though he laughs so hard at Corry. He is a good mixture of the two of them though. He is almost crawling and he likes to roll around places.

Well Madison is getting bigger everyday. She is enjoying her baths a little more. I just have to catch her when she is in a good mood. She is sleeping so well at nights but likes to fight sleeping during the day so she gets grumpy and cries. She is almost long enough for her newborn clothes which makes me so sad! She is already a month old and I can't believe it! It seems like yesterday that we found out that we were pregnant! Time defiantly does fly! Her grandpas and uncles are suckers for her its so cute! She is going to be the most spoiled little girl in the whole world I can tell already! The other day I put her on the ground on her belly and she totally rolled over! I think it was an accident but she has done it at least 5 times now though! She holds her head up so well and pretty much has since we brought her home from the hospital. She has an awesome set of lungs on her and her daddy just says that she is getting ready to talk every ones ears off which is true if she takes after me!!

Her first bath at home! She was not a happy!!

She loves sleeping on daddy's side of the bed!

Daddy's little princess

I love this dress on her! It's her first dress!

This is her first Sunday dress! She looked like an angel though!

I figured I should put a lovely picture of me on here.
Don't worry every once in a while I actually do my hair
and my make up!

I am really bad at this whole blog thing so everyone will just have to deal with it!! Well our beautiful little girl has gotten so big! Her doctors appointment a couple weeks ago said that she had grown an inch and she weighed 7 pounds 9 ounces! I am sure she weighs more now! She actually has a roll on her tiny little thighs it makes me laugh! Her little cheeks are getting chubbier and that double chin of hers is getting bigger! She is so strong she lifts her head up all the time and wants to look around and try to see everything. She loves to look at lights and she is starting to make eye contact which is cool. She smiles all the time in her sleep and has started to smile when she is awake. I just can't seem to catch he smiles on camera! She is getting better at sleeping through the night and being awake during the day. We had a few rough nights and I had to wake Brett up one of them because I couldn't handle the crying anymore and I was crying so poor Brett had to comfort both of us! He is such an awesome dad! He tries to spend as much time as possible with the both of us. He is gone to work from 7:30 am until 3:30 then he leaves to go to school at 4:45 and usually doesn't get home until 9:30 or 10 pm and by then he is so tired from the long day that he eats and goes to bed! He does do the last diaper change though and changes her into pajamas which I appreciate so much! Its really nice to have a husband that wants to be involved and wants to help.
We had Madison's Grandma and Grandpa Reeves and Aunt Rachelle in town this past weekend and we had a blast! It was their first time seeing her and of course she was grumpy! Thankfully they understand but I still felt bad that she wasn't cooperating! It was nice to see them especially because they live in Michigan and so we don't see them very often at all. Brett was able to take work off that Friday to spend some time with us all and I know he enjoyed showing off his daughter and spending time with his family. Seeing Madison with her grandpa and grandma reassured me that she definitely is a Reeves! I always kid with Brett and tell him it was rude not to let any of my genes through! Oh well she definitely is a daddy's girl!

Our Bundle of Joy

Brett took this when they were cleaning her up. She likes her feet
up on her chest. They say its a breach baby thing!

She has her daddy's feet!! She likes to hold

onto things with those toes!!

Brett in his cute PT uniform! I think he is wrapped already!

We were both very exhausted and passed out!

Our sleeping princess

This is the day we came home! She looks just
like her daddy not me!

This is her in her car seat going home! She did really well on the drive
and her daddy drove very carefully I was impressed!

Daddy and Madi hanging out watching TV.

We are very happy to announce the birth of our beautiful baby girl Madison Nikole on March 20, 2008! She was a healthy 6 pounds 9 ounces and 19 inches long! She is a spitting image of her daddy but very feminine looking! I always knew she would be a handful like me and she made that clear by not wanting to turn around and come out the right way. She wanted to say hello to the world butt first! I was having contractions for probably 2 to 3 hours before I called my mom to come over and bring me to the hospital which was about 7:30pm. I called Brett at school told him not to leave just yet because we didn't know if I was in active labor or not. Well about 2 hours later I called Brett and told him to come to the hospital he was going to be a daddy! It took him about 20 minutes at the most to get there food in hand because we figured it was going to be a long night. By the time he got there the doctor had broken my water and determined that Madison was breach and we would have to have a C-Section immediately. I called Brett frantically and thank heavens he was already walking through the hospital. Brett walked into the room and they handed him this cute blue jump suit and before we knew it I was on the operating table! They ended up having to knock me all the way out because I had a dead spot on my right side and they couldn't get it to go numb!! I don't remember anything after that! Next thing I knew I had Madison in my arms. She was born at 10:05pm. Brett got to watch them pull her out of my belly butt first and took pictures! So now he can say he loves my guts literally!! We were in the hospital from Thursday night until Monday morning. It has been a fun road to recovery and I am very very grateful Brett was able to take all of last week off. He is the cutest dad you have ever seen!! She definitely has him wrapped around her tiny little fingers!! She is such a good baby! She sleeps at least 3 to 4 hours and only wakes up at nights to eat. She sometimes thinks that she can stay up all night and that's not fun for me but she is still getting used to life. We are both so very thankful to have her it took us forever to get her but it was worth the wait I couldn't ask for a better husband or a better daughter.
