Sun Valley

Madsen had his first road trip this weekend...which was a little scary considering he HATES his carseat. He was a champ and we had a blast. We shopped the town, ate good meals, went to the chocolate factory 15 times, went for lots of walks and played cards .

Jason and Danny cooked dinner for us-they are quite the chefs.


Outside of Grumpy's- the best grub in all of Sun Valley.


Julia and me in the back seat to entertain the little duffer.

The Sun Valley lodge- watching the ice skaters. The guy in the fleece jacket was quite the skater. Spins and jumps.

Julia and Danny- Madsen can not wait for his little friend.....

Madsen in his halloween PJ's. Which reminds me.... I have some pretty cool halloween bat pants that I need to start wearing for the season. Lauren- you better still have yours.

Madsen is five months old- he is getting quite the personality. He loves watching T.V., eating bananas, screaming, laughing, playing with toys, and chewing on everything. He has one bottom tooth coming in and he is staring to grow back some of the hair he lost. Eating his bananas.

Laguna Beach, CA Summer Trip

It is becoming an anual trip to go to Laguna Beach in the summer. It is the best weather there and is so much fun. We shopped, ate, went to the beach, hung out by the pool and met up with my friend Rachael. (she was taking the photo)
 Yes, there are better places there to have a family photo– but when there is a two year old involved that won't get off the horse this is what you get. Everytime it stopped Kate would say-again? We must have spent $10 riding this horse.

Big Ben, Kate and Madsen at the pool.

Back to see my cousins

We went back to HOT AZ last week. I think that was our last trip until it cools off! Madsen got to hang out with his cousins. Kate loves to keep tabs on Madsen and Ben.
Hanging out in PJ's after the bath. Ben is trying to ingore Kate and Madsen- they are a little too crazy for him!

3 Months old

Madsen got a new pet....yeah right!! Jason saw this crawing along our back patio. Good thing his dad was here to catch it. I caught a baby one in the garage the week before. YIKES!


Madsen is just starting to hold on to things. He likes to hold this dog and chew on it.
How can I say no to this guy sleeping in my bed?

Poor Madsen is loosing his feathers.
