July and some of June

Madi and I playing with the camera!

Some say she is my twin!

 Quinton loves his popsicles.

 He gets a little messy though :)

 

We went to Oregon this summer and this is about one of the only times I remember to use my camera!

 Kath and the kids--we love our grandma!

 Trying to get a good picture can sometimes take a lot of effort--Elmer and Kath's quick visit.

 

Below are pictures right before we went to drop my brother Cody off at the MTC for his mission.

 Cory, Cody and I

My siblings (Andrea, Tim, Me, Cody)

 If you can't tell my mom and dad had both been crying :(

Cody and his favorite nieces and nephews--Madi and her fingers are just great!

 Cody and Quinton--he just loved his uncle--sad that he probably won't remember that when he gets back :(

 

We went to the Hogle Zoo the day before Cody left.

 Madi and Pais'

Pais' , Andrea and Madi---I believe Madi has her chees grin on!

August 2012

I know I am doing these posts backwards, but it still works! These pictures below are from August this year.

It was quiet--so I checked on the kids--they were in the wagon just playing!

Above is Madi pulling Quinton in the wagon--this entertainment can last a good amount of time--Cory told me the wagon was a waste of $15 (yardsale!), but I'm tellin you it has been well worth it!  

 

This next group of pictures is from Bear Lake (Davis Family Reunion)

 Mom--always cute!

 Sadie and Quinton

 Cory doin what he loves most about any beach--building a sandcastle!

 Quinton just loved the beach--he loves dirt, so sand is just as good for him!

 Hot thang!  Cleanin up.

 This is the only picture I have of this cute couple!

 Paisley and her favorite aunt!

 Madi talking Tim's ear off.

 Hmmm let's think what Madi might be getting into (candy??) 

 Love this face!

 

Madi's swimming lessons

 Motor boat, Motor boat!

Madi after the lifeguard walked her out on the diving board--she was a chicken...and I know she gets that from Cory. He does not like heights.

 

More pictures and hopefully videos tomorrow--it's too late!



Quinton is busy!!

 Above is just a picture I got of the kids playing together.

 Quinton always has to come over to the dryer and pull himself up when I am doing laundry--he's my big helper!

Quinton likes to pull him self up on Madi's drawers.

The other day when he did it...he climbed into the bottom one and was trying to pull himself up on the the ones above him.

 Needless to say he fell down into the one he was standing in and got stuck.

 He didn't seem to mind too much though.

 Quinton is also decided he would help me unload the dishwasher by climbing on it.

Boys are so much different than girls!

Madi and sweets!

Madi was supposed to be eating her dinner but saw me eating some cookies (because I was finished with my dinner) and decided she needed some. Cory moved them to the top of the refrigerator so she couldn’t get them. Well—she is a little smart cookie and thought she could get to them by herself. First she tried the chair.

Then she decided Quinton’s high-chair would be better. After that she decided a step stool would be the best.

  Finally she (stubborn little girl) gave up and agreed that the best way to get cookies is by eating our dinner first!

Random pictures

Love this picture of my handsome boys!

Naturally--gotta have the tongue and mess!!

Quinton's Hand

Early on in January Quinton burned his hand while my poor Grandma Davis was watching the kids. She was doing us a huge favor (and Quinton is in to everything) and he decided to reach for something above the heater (grabbing the heater as he went to reach for it).

Madi reading

Madi's grandma Kathy left us these little books that are pretty simple to read when she moved. There are about 7 or 8 of them and Madi just loves reading them (or memorizing). She has read them 3 times tonight and I was very impressed. I'm just glad she has taken to reading more than I do!
