PICTURES!!!

Madi's first snowmobiling trip!! We went up to my great uncles cabin and had so much fun!!!!

So she just woke up from a nap we throw her in all this snow gear.... She was NOT a happy camper!! She looked so cute though!!

We took her on her first snow mobile ride and she just laid against Brett the whole time a relaxed it was so cute!!

So grandpa put her in the snow and she couldn't get up or move so she got a little mad and was just pleading with her daddy to pick her up. I loved this picture. Not because she is crying but because the look in her eyes and the way she is looking at her daddy.

Daddy was playing with Madi's toys and she didn't give him permission so she went over and pushed his face away and was trying to get him away from her toys! She can get possessive sometimes but in the end she loves to play with her daddy.

Don't ask... Brett took her tights off and put them on her head... She thought it was pretty funny!!

I was so excited to post these!! My little girl has MY curls!!! I'm so excited she still has them!!! I think she looks so stinken cute with them!! The only bad thing is that she rubs her head so they definitely don't look like this at the end of the day!!

She likes movies like her daddy! No really though she pulls them down and dumps the movies out of the cases then looks at me and laughs!!

This is what our little Valentine wore on Valentines day! I made the bows on her head!

So Brett was watching her the other night and I guess she was so hyper and just kept climbing in and out of this and sitting on the thing that makes noise and just was having an awesome time!!

So these tubs USED to be by her bead and she USED to have a boarder in her bed until a few days ago when she woke up in the morning and I went in together and opened up her bedroom door and saw something out of the corner of my eye so I looked over and my lovely daughter was SITTING on the tubs... Yes she CLIMBED out of her crib and onto the tubs to play with her binkys and the Little Princess sign her Aunt Bridgette gave her! Silly girl.. She is fearless and crazy and energetic like her daddy that's for sure!!

Watch this video!! This is the second time she did it!!

Christmas and more!!

I'm not sure are her eyes blue????!!!!

She didn't feel like sitting down so she picked her own pose!!

Christmas day!! Daddy was trying to get her to stop eating wrapping paper and play with her new toys!

Cadillac with tons of little snowballs all over his little belly!!! He loves the snow but can't walk after a little because of all the snowballs!!

Madison was so tired she was in here crying for a little I went in to check on her and she passed out folded in half laying on her soft blanket!! She is too cute!!!
We put Madi on this toy and Kai likes to push her into walls!! No for real though he pushes her around on it and she honks the horn the whole time! (something tells me she is going to be just like her mommy!!)

Madi is sick and just sat there and cuddled with grandpa. He loved every minute of it!

Seriously what is with this face!?!?!? If you laugh or smile at her she pulls this face and blinks at you!! I can't help but laugh even harder when I see her do this which makes her do it even more!!! She is such a funny baby!!

We built this Igloo on Christmas day! My parents have people come over all the time with their kids and ask if they can get in it and stuff!! It is huge inside and can fit at least 4 to 5 people inside with room! My dad can stand up inside it too and he is 6'4"!!

So this Christmas was really fun!! We had the whole family together minus our favorite missionary Nick!! We did get to talk to him though and he is doing awesome!! We miss him so much but know that he is doing the right thing. He even got to talk to Madison! Well kind of... She kinda yelled in the phone and kept saying mamamama dadadada..... Oh well at least he got to hear her!! She has a really nasty cold right now and is getting 3 teeth in at the same time!! Poor baby... She is hanging in there though and is slowly getting better. She coughed all night the other night and i just felt so bad for her!! I definitely don't like when she gets sick especially cause she can't talk and I can't do much for her except cuddle her and give her tons and tons of kisses!! She waves bye bye and hi now. We watch this movie called "Baby Signing Time" and it is awesome! She loves it! She tries to sign the beginning song. If I can catch it on video I'll post it. She gets so excited she crawls as fast as she can to where the movie is going and then sways back and forth on her hands and knees. I have even gotten Brett to watch a little of it and learn how to sign a couple things!! Brett is loving his job. He works weekends at the one job and works during the week at Standard Plumbing still. He works a ton of hours but it is going to be worth it in the end when he starts getting paid at his weekend job! Hope everyone is doing awesome! Check out my little brothers blog it is Eldernicksnow.blogspot.com. I will try to update it as much as I can!

9 Months already!?

Madison's first hair cut!! She loved all the attention she was getting from everyone there at my salon! She sat all by herself it was so cute!!

They have this at one of the malls and we decided to put Madi on it.... She wasn't too sure about it!! Don't worry her daddy is hiding behing the ball holding her up so she doesn't fall!

This is the Sunday after her hair cut! He hair went so curly and cute! I can only hope it stays curly! She actually left the head band on all day I was impressed!!

Grandpa Reeves came in town and so we got to hang out with him and watch movies and eat Pizza and candy our favorite thing! We miss our Reeves family so much!!! Maybe one day we'll all be able to get together again and party!!! we love you guys!!

We ate at Cheesecake Factory for Brett's birthday and he ate a huge Burger plus more then half of my brother's huge burito!! No one could believe it! After he ate what about 3 of us could have he still had room for desert and he is still skinny!!! If only I had his matabolism!!!

These are the moments that just make me want to cry. She was being a little brat and wouldn't go to sleep and wouldn't stop crying so I handed her over to Brett and I looked over not 5 minutes later and they were both sleeping!! He loves his little girl I don't know what he is going to do when she get big!

Merry Christmas!

8 MONTHS!!!!!

Madi showing Rylee how the bouncy works! She rather stand on this side then be in it now!! Madison loves playing with babies now... Well more like attacking them!!

Like mother like daughter... Need I say more!!??

Kai just celebrated his 1st birthday!!! He loved his cake and Aunt Meg and Uncle Corry were nice enough to let Madi have fun in the cake!! She liked her foot in it if you can't tell!!

So Aunt Desi got stuck with watching Madi one Saturday while Brett and I were working and

g-ma and g-pa were out of town to a funeral. They had fun playing and Madi just loved this walker thing! Desi had fun with the camera!!

How is it fair that she will sit with her and not me!!!!??? Little punk!!

Madi was running 102 plus temperatures this day but you couldn't tell!!! She was really good for Desi and then I got her home and it was a different story!! She is doing a ton better now.

Look at my cute little ghetto baby!!! hahaha


Madi is totally into posing in this picture!!! One finger up the nose and one in the mouth!! Silly girls!!

Believe it or not Madison is 8 months old! I can't believe that she has gotten so big! Some days I just look at her and can't believe my eyes! Some days it seems like she got bigger over night!! She is sleeping through the night which is so nice! She is now getting in her top 2 teeth and you can see the whit of the one and the other is following pretty close behind! So for some awesome news!! Brett just got offered a job with a police department!!! He is going to do his gun qualifying stuff tomorrow and then he will have to do a really long Psych evaluation and then if he passes all of that he for sure has the job! The only bad news is is that he will be on the Reserve and going through field training for the next 17 weeks. It could be shorter. When he gets through the FTO then he will get paid so until then he will be volunteering!!!!! Totally sucks but I am sure it will be worth it in the end. When you are on the reserve you get paid but no benefits which totally sucks.... We will have to figure something out though. This police department is the best. They have the top gun training and everything. They are completely family oriented. The Chief informed Brett that if he misses a family function and he finds out about it he is in deep trouble. He is amazing and you can totally tell how much he cares for the guys on the force. He told us that once you are hired on you are part of a family. Not co-workers but a family. I am so excited and so grateful that Brett has gotten this job. He is so excited about it too. He makes me laugh cause he is so giddy over this job!!! It makes me so happy that he is happy. Everything else here is going well. Life has it's ups and downs I have had to learn to take a lot of things one day at a time and to rely on my faith to help me through the rough times. I hope everyone is doing very well!! Happy Holidays!!!

Halloween!

Madi's shirt says "Heart Breaker" on it! This is her baby doll that Aunt Lucy and one of her adopted grandma's G-ma Meyers got her!

This is a G-ma and G-pa Snows house...... She did this all by herself! She was there with daddy and the family while I was working and I guess she wanted to go down stairs! Cadillac is supervising!

She wasn't too sure about those crunchy leaves! This is her disgusted face!!

We went across the street to take these pictures because they had tons of leaves and my parents don't have any! This is our puppy and lion! (if you can't tell Madi is the puppy and Kai is the lion!)

Meg, Kai, me and Madi just taking some fun pictures!

Kai was petting Madi! My cousin's little boy kept pointing at her and saying "puppy, puppy"! I was laughing so hard! We were up visiting my grandma Snow.

That's my girl! Yes she knows how to grab what she wants! She got up on her knees and totally looked in the bowl and grabbed what she wanted! Daddy later got her peanut butter m&m's when she was done chewing on the outside!

Just relaxing in the wagon! She totally looks like a puppy!

My parents other neighbor had this out front and we had to put the kids in it and take pictures! This is a real pumpkin he had to carve it with a chainsaw!

It was a long night... We went to uncle Robby's work to say hello and show him the babies! Can you tell she is a total daddy's girl! She loves putting her face against his and she likes to feel his chin hairs!

So this Halloween was a lot of fun! We went trick or treating to a few people's houses around my parents neighborhood! It was more to show the kids off then to get candy although both Brett and Corry got candy and they were very happy! I think that is the main reason why dads like to take the kids cause then they can eat all the candy!! The whole family except Rob and of course Nick came. Rob had to work and Nick is....well on a mission duh! The grandparents went and loved I mean LOVED showing off their grand babies to everyone in the ward. We pulled the kids a long in a wagon and I pulled them for a little bit and then got tired of it and then grandpa jumped on the chance to pull them. By the way it was chilly outside and my dad wore a t-shirt and pants!!! He is is denial that it is getting cold I think! (by the way it snowed for the first time today!!) Robby is now working at Cabella's and is somewhat liking it. He as to stand the whole time he is working so the first few days were brutal on his legs and feet. But he finally listened to me and wore some shoes that are cushioned and have an arch in them and he seems to be doing a little better. Nick is doing good he is in a new area and as far as I can tell he likes it. There is some funky looking houses in the area he is in he sent us some pictures and wow some people have too much time on their hands!! Corry and Meg are still looking for a house and Meg is definitely liking the changing of the seasons. Well at least the fall colors!! Madi and Kai play together and try to take each others toys! It is pretty funny cause Kai can grab and run and Madi can just sit there and hang on to the toy with all her might after she takes it from Kai! Madi tried to bite him the other day though with her two bottom teeth! Luckily Meg and I were sitting right there and stopped her before she could do any damage! She has got one heck of a bite! She is crawling everywhere and if you leave the room she chases you into the next and she thinks she can stand on her own and tries to do it a lot but falls every time! She also thinks she can walk on her own so she will let go of us and... well.. fall!! She is so cute and I love how funny she is! She definitely is turning out to be a comedian! She likes to stare at Corry and Robby and they have to work hard to get a smile from her but she likes to smile at the rest of us for the most part!
