Today I am 6 months old

Madsen is 6 months old and is about to crawl. He rocks back and forth on his hands and knees and then goes backwards. Pretty soon he will be crawling away and hiding from me. I also gave him his first hair cut...I thought I could handle it myself since there were only about 10 remaining baby hairs to cut off. Goodbye to the comb-over.

One year down...one to go!

Elder Okland has been in Germany for one year. We miss him so much!


Looks like his schedule is wide open....

Fluffy!

Halloween

Madsen had a fun filled day on Halloween - he went to a parade at OCC in his costume, to see dad at work and to visit Grandparents. He was not very excited about getting in his costume. The turtle neck about sent him over the edge- that will be the last one of those he will ever wear. 

I was Wanda with a group from work. There were five wives and one husband...I was dressed so nasty that Jason did not want me to stop by his work. I can't blame him... But I stopped by anyway.
Elephant Man

Get me out of this!!

He knows Jason will give him candy....

When beetle juice came to the door on Halloween night- I heard my mom say "do you have a bag?" She thought beetle juice was a solo trick-or-treater. It was Lauren....Madsen even thought she was funny. I bet next year seeing someone dressed up like that will send him into a full meltdown.

Excited to be out of his costume and hanging out in bat pants waiting for more trick-or-treaters.

Happy Birthday Laird!

I told Jason and Laird that I was going to post my pictures from Sun Valley on the blog and they wanted me to throw in Laird's birthday that we were celebrating tonight.



These two are a little strange when they get together...

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.

5 Months Old

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.
