Funny

So this morning when I was taking a shower, I heard Madi making little whining noises...so I stepped out of the shower to see what in the world she was doing. Well below is a picture of just that...

She was in Quinton's walker and pretending to make baby noises.

Funny things Madi has said today:

Me: I need to go back and get something. 

Madi: Are ya kiddin me?

earlier tonight

Madi's comment to Cory: "You tricked me kid."

Clothes and things

So my kids have always been a little thinner...my sister was here not too long ago and said she couldn't believe that Quinton was still in 3 month onesies (he is almost 8 months old). The thing is, is that he fits in to 9 to 12 month pants. Well I decided to have Madi try on one of his 9 month onesies--and it fit her (she is almost 3 years old)

 These are the pants that go with the onesie--they don't quite fit her.

Below is a video of how she felt about taking off the onesie

When she is leaving the room she first says "whatever", as she starts to run down the hall she says "I'm going bye, bye." When she gets into her dad's arms she says "daddy's holding me." Then of course she wines because she doesn't want to take it off. She kept it on all day long!! I figured it wasn't worth fighting about.

Below is a video of Madi running around in a circle and Quinton is trying to keep up by either rolling over or running in place with his legs!

Socks!

Our kids like socks (Madi above at about 6 monts Quinton below at 7 months)

 Quinton is trying to eat the camera!

 I put Quinton in a basket--Madi says "I want to get in"-- I told her to get in the other one because there wasn't enough room (I was just afraid she would smash Quinton and they would probably fall over as well).

We were doing some much needed cleaning today and the kids were a great help--when they both took a nap that is!

Updated Pictures

 Growing like a weed--sad!

 Madi helps hold Quinton in the tub while I wash him--she does really good as he kicks and squirms!

 even though he doesn't have much you can see his defined hair line.

 My new do!

Halloween Already!!

Our ward had a trunk or treat on Friday, so I took pictures already (using our laptop--because I didn't have the battery charged for the camera!).

 Madi was Dorothy from the Wizard of Oz (thank you Andrea!)

 She is standing by our closet door because she is modeling her beautiful decorating she did using stickers she got from her Grandma Montana for Halloween.

 Quinton was a Pea (thanks Lisa--we will continue to use this!)

 Cory is trying to hide--I think its a little hard when you are wearing the color orange!

All Madi wanted to eat was her candy!

Summer Time

Paisley and Madi being silly before church in Grace.

Madi kept asking to get in Quinton's crib with him--so I gave in!

My two favorite kids!

Our Trip to Oregon this summer

 Madi and I at the Aquarium in the shark's jaw!

Cory playing with Madi at the beach

 She's a little sandy--but loved running away from the waves (her first time at the ocean).

 What a happy boy!

 Madi and her cousins (Riley, Skylar and Aspen) on a huge Train at a park in Corvallis.

 CUTE!!

 Madi's adventure at the Jerome fair for the 1st time!

 She loved it!

 We now have a fun reason to go to the fair!

 Quinton likes blankets by his face--gets it from his dad!

 Cole and his (girl) friend at Bear Lake

 Got Andrea in on this one!

  "Hot Mama" according to my dad!

 Cole may have been a little grouchy--but pretty good considering!

 Everyone in the water!

 Grandma and Cole building sand castles.

 Madi and me on the dolphin

 I found Quinton like this in the swing--so I started strapping him in!

 The Boat Rigata winners this year! (2011)-Cody, Cory and My dad are in this picture

 Quinton's first solid food feeding!

 It got a little messy--he leans foward and tries to suck on the bumbo!

 Madi likes to help her dad mow--and this how she does it! (really she loves it)!

 We were all ready for church this morning and Cory said we needed a new family picture--here it is!

 I hope this video works in one or the other---I did it two different ways--anyway Madi wanted to be spun--I believe she almost blacked out (I didn't think about it at the time)---we have never let her do it again since!
