Happy Easter

This is as good as it gets. Madsen was bugged that he had to stop golfing for 5 seconds and take a photo.

Ruby is "helping" dye Easter Eggs... She wasnt invited to see HOP so I guess we can let her help. Her way of helping was spilling the dye, eating the stick and throwing eggs on the floor. Gotta love the 1 year old.
The finished product

Grandma Boo and uncle Alex came to head up the activity

Ruby Turns 1! Eating her cake
Big helper with the presents. He opened and Ruby played with them.






We drove to AZ to see Jamie and Jenny. Long drive- but a very fun trip. Madsen who never takes naps slept for 4 hours when he left Ben and Kate. I guess partying all day is exhausting.


Jason and Madsen at the train park. Note Madsen's chin. It wouldnt be a trip for us if the ER wasnt involved.
Madsen, Ben, Kate and Ruby ready for the pool.

A break in ST George to play at the park

These two in my bed!
Madsen loves to go bowling
When Madsen was potty trained I told him he could go to build a bear. So he picked a lady bug with wings and a skateboard to go with it. Also when we got to the mall- He was not wearing this rain jacket or boots. He put them on and demanded to wear them home. This kid already knows how to work me over.
Ruby loves her doll that Grandpa James brought her from China
If you never want us to come over to your house- get a dog!

Ruby loves dolly.
Reading her valentines day book. Too bad now when we read it she has ripped most of the pages.
Madsen, LeRoy and Ruby. They will love this one day!

Merry Christmas

I went downstairs and opened the "Christmas Closet" then I closed it. Why do I hate decorating? This tree is the extent of our decorations. Madsen handled the decorating himself. Then his friend- I will leave unnamed....came over and bombed a toothbrush at it and broke an ornament. Madsen is having a hard time getting over that one.



These two love to bug each other. I will say Ruby can hold her own. She gets hold of his hair and dominates.


Ruby all dressed up for the wedding.

Summer 2010

Jason's brother is getting married in a few weeks and I threw a shower for his Fiance Jaime.

Jaime and her sister Jessica.

The Grub










We took Madsen to the fire station since he is obsessed with woo woo's. He was being a goof - but he had a good time. Thanks for the idea Jenny.










This summer we went to San Diego with my family for our annual trip. We stayed at the Hotel Del. It was incredible. One day we went to Lego Land. Apparently I only had my camera for this day.... We also went to the beach for a fire pit and smores, shopped the town, and hung out by the pool. Oh yeah that just reminded me- I put my camera in the diaper bag and a water spilled on it and broke it. dang. That is why I only have photos of the first day!


Jason's Grandma turned 90 this summer. His mom and her siblings threw a big reunion party.

Madsen and his cousin Jaxon with their summer cuts.

Ruby and Jaj at Great's 90th B day bash.





Madsen had his first shot at golfing 9 holes. Jason stayed for 18 and Madsen did not want to leave when I came to get him after 9. He drove the cart, drank rootbeer and hit a few shots here and there. That sounds like my kind of golf.



We decided it was time to Madsen to give up his crib for Ruby. I guess he was a little too big for it anyway. Poor guy fell asleep in a tight yoga position. He loves his big bed and adjusted quite nicely.




Jason and I went to Nic Johnson's wedding in Denver. Jason was the best man. We stayed in downtown Denver. It was a lot of fun. We didn't take the little ones with us. We went shopping, found a casino town, went out to eat and had many wedding festivities. I need to find some photos from the wedding- it was a real party!



Julia and I at the Kesha/Rihanna Concert. What? we are too old? NEVER!!!

So Cute

Ruby is just over 3 months. I am the worst blogger but I thought I could handle posting a pic today.
