Busy Summer!

 Wow, it has been a LONG, LONG, time since I have posted on the blog! We have been so busy, so I will keep it short with lots of pictures!

In July we had:
*Redfish Lake (Camping for 7 days with the girls, my parents, and Matt joined us for 4 days)
*Natalie's birthday party (Had a big party inside due to rain, but everyone made it and it was a blast)


In August we had:
* 3 trips to McCall.
* Lots of family time!
* I started my student teaching in Murtaugh in an amazing 3rd grade classroom.
* The girls started going to daycare full-time

In September we had:
*A trip to McCall
* Busy with student teaching!
* Busy...where did September go? I don't know that I took any picture in September with my camera!
*Madi started gymnastics on Monday!
*Madi started tap/ballet on Thursdays!
* I was asked to teach an after school program at the school on Tues/Thurs.
* I was offered a long term substitute position starting in January until the end of the school year!

We are so blessed, everyone has been healthy for the most part (stupid smoke!) and we are just enjoying a busy semester while I student teach! Hope everyone is well!

Sick Little Girl

We have had quite the week! Madi started throwing up at 3 am on Sunday! Finally last night when she started getting worse and wasn't making tears anymore I had to take her in. So I loaded up the girls and headed to Twin Falls so my mom could watch Natalie. Matt had a large pour of concrete that day and I didn't know when he would be off of work. So after 3 hrs in the ER they were able to give her Zofran and she was able to keep a small amount of apple juice down. The doctor said she was very dehydrated but if we could get on top of it and the Zofran would work it was a lot less traumatizing for a 2 year old. Here are a few pictures of the poor girl. The first one is from yesterday before we headed to the doctor. The other two are of us in the ER. The gave her some stickers to play with because she was crying so loud. They also shut the door on us because she was so loud! Hahah! I think she is finally on the mend no messes last night! woohoo!

Warm Weather!

Nice weather has meant lots of time outside, fishing, and camping. We were able to go camping and fishing at C.J. Strike outside of Mountain Home two weeks ago. We only stayed overnight but we still had a blast!

The girls keep us laughing every day! Sunday we were heading to Twin Falls to visit my mom for mothers day, Madi decided she wanted to wear my shoes. Long story short we had to even bring them in the car just to make her get in! :)

Natalie decided she wanted to do some potty training this week as well...haha not!

One last picture of Madi taken today after getting up at 6 am, pooping in the potty(1st time since we moved), and playing at the park! I was downstairs moving laundry and came back up to find this sleeping beauty!

Big Girls!

This is just a quick post with video's of the girls. They are both getting so big! Sorry they are sideways I never remember to turn my phone the right way.

Visitors

This weekend Matt's dad John, and his wife Marleen came out to Burley. We had lots of fun eating at restaurants, playing with dogs, fishing, and going to the City Of Rocks. It was a nice visit.

Of course some times having a 2 year old and doing a lot of activities don't really mix. Madi is such a good little girl but when she gets tired watch out!!!!! Here is an example of what happens when she snaps! Haha love that girl!

Fun with Friends

This week the girls and I went to the Heyburn green belt with our neighbor Kira and her son Cray. They live just down the road from us and him and Madi are only a few months apart. The kids have so much fun chasing each other around and starting trouble. They even tried to mountain clib hehe!  Here are a few pictures from our walk!

Fishing Fun!

This past weekend the family went to Adrian, Oregon to go fly fishing on the Owyhee River. Well Matt was fishing and the girls and I were just going to play and enjoy the wonderful weather.

We played in the back of the truck and went on a couple of walks. Then after lunch I was getting the girls dressed. I asked Madi to come over to the truck so I could change her pants... well I looked up and saw this! She was just walking down the road with her pants down! She kills me.

I didn't get very many pictures of Matt because I was busy chasing the girls around but he did catch 3 fish. We had so much fun and the weather was beautiful!

I hope everyone had a great Easter! I am so happy for nice weather! Hooray for Spring!
