So to fill you in we did have another baby 3 months ago. We named him Quinton Michael. He was born April 19, 2011 at 3:54 pm. He weighed 7lbs 10 ounces and was 21 inches long. He is such a good little happy baby. Madi likes to give him hugs and kisses and she also likes to pull on his limbs sometimes :)
MADI'S 2nd BIRTHDAY!
Yes I decided to make Madi a cake this year--so take a good look because it will probably never happen again (I'm not much of a homemaker).

Madi opening her stocking!

TUB TIME

I came in and she was like this in the tub--I thought she looked hillarious!
Bubble mustache
It makes her look so grown up!
Madi's first ponytail--she finally had "almost" enough hair to put it up!
I came in and they were out on our futon--they were both sick--they looked so cute together!
Diaper Cake for Quinton! (from the shower at horizon)
A Diaper basinet that we got from the wonderful ladies at Horizon that I work with!
Madi using her cooking set (with her doll Curly) that grandma Montana gave her (Cory's mom) at Christmas.
Madi was able to come and see us at the hospital the day after Quinton was born! We missed her so much!
Madi's first time holding Quinton.
Quinton loves to suck on his hand---I try to put the binky in--but my kids just aren't great binky takers!
I tried to get Cory sleeping with Quinton--but Cory wasn't quite asleep yet!
Madi always asks to hold Quinton--so I try to let her every once in a while so she not so tempted to pick him up on her own!
What do you think--I'm sure Quinton is thinking he'd rather be back in my belly!
I have a picture of Cory sleeping with Madi when she was a little baby--so I made sure to catch him doing it with Quinton too--this is his favorite time when they are so little!
STATE TRACK (May 2011)
Madi, Quinton and I ventured up to state track this year (since I wasn't working at the time--maternity leave). It was well worth it--they won the state title for 4A--Even better it was Cory's dad's last year--as he retired after the season was over.

If you can see-- Madi is in this picture(she is wearing a purple coat and a girl is sitting down holding her)--the girls just loved her and wanted her to get in it! If you click on the picture you can see Madi better.
Elmer and Coach Tolman and the Distance girls ( I love them all!!)--they scored more than half of their team's points. They are my favorites because I used to coach them in Cross Country--they call themselves the tremendous trio.
Elmer and the Seniors
Cory and Elmer (his dad) holding their first and last state title together!
The coaches-Stacy Burnham, Terry Waitley, Cory,Elmer, Randy Tolman, and Mike Capps
The first picture I got of Madi and Quinton smiling together!
TO BONE AND BACK--40 MILE RELAY
So my sister Andrea asked us (in March) to participate in this 40 mile relay (we did it with eight people on our team which comes out to 5 miles each) in Idaho Falls-- so we agreed. I wanted to do because I knew it would make me start getting back into shape after having a baby--and Cory kept complaining about not being in very good shape--so he agreed. It was a very tough race--especially for those who had the up hills--I don't know if we will do it again--but it was good for us! Andrea smiles as she coasts down hill for a little bit of a break from all her up hills!
I only put one of Cory--but he was smiling in all the ones I had!
Last year he complained of running a 5K (3.1 miles) race--this year I got him to run 5 miles! (Of course he still complained--but I am proud of him for doing it!)
My sweet sister handing me water as I die in the heat.
Andy, Annette and my dad helping me finish the race.
Our official time--6 hours, 10 minutes and 51 seconds

Madi look so cute and grown up, so I had to take a picture (in her Sunday best).
