Happy Fourth!!!

I hope everyone had a great fourth. The fourth of July is my favorite holiday. So i was very excited this year being in a new place. I wanted to see how they celebrated out here.In the morning we went to our ward breakfast. It was good. We got to see all our friends and had a great time. After the breakfast we came home so Maddie could take her nap. She was up early cookin with Jason. (We had to cook the hash browns for the breakfast) Then we headed up to the mountains. It was so GREEN we really liked being up there. We had a picnic then let the kids play in the water. It was so relaxing we put our camping chairs in the water and put our feet in. It was so much fun. Collin loved it until he did a face plant into the water, then he was more cautious of where he walked. :) Maddie loved it she wanted to jump right in and play with the rest of the kids.When we were done we came home, ate dinner and got ready to go watch the fire works. Rio Rancho does a huge fire work show. So we went to a local park near by. They had some huge blowup slide toys for Collin to play on. He had a lot of fun playing on those. Then we went and watched the fire works. We had a really good spot. They were right over us. They were so big. Collin wanted to catch one so bad. He told us he wanted to keep it in his pocket so he could take it home. Ha ha. Christian (my sisters little boy) wanted to set a fire work off so bad. He told us that he wanted to send one up so that Jesus could see. Ha ha. He is so funny. We love you Christian.We had a really good fourth. I hope you all did to. Cant wait until next year. :)

A fun day at the Zoo

We went to the zoo and a concert last Friday. The concert was in the zoo, in there Bio Park. It was fun. We went with my sister Kati and her kids. Jason and Pat meet us there with dinner so we ended up staying for the concert. Her name was Adrienne Young. She sings country. She was actually really good. I would buy her CD. It was really cool to walk around the zoo at night. All the animals are alive. Especially the big cats. You could hear them growling at each other. I think that they should keep the zoo open longer so people can see some exciting animals. It was really fun and we are defiantly going back :)

Our little Madalynn is eight months

Maddie turned eight months today! She has changed mine and Jason's lives. We are so grateful for her and love every minute with her. We cant imagine what it would be like if she wasn't here. Maddie is so active. She loves to be moving and playing with something. I think she gets that from her brother. She wants to get up go just like Collin. She is not crawling, Maddie is just happy having someone carry her. But i think she will be happy when she is mobile. Maddie loves to talk. Her favorite word is "Dada". She says it all the time. Especially at church when every one is singing. Then it gets quite and you can still hear this cute little voice "Dada Dada". It is very cute but very loud. She also says "Hi", "Ba Ba", and i think she just learned no. I don't know but she sees Collin and will start saying it. Ha ha. Good thing he doesn't really listen to her. Some things Maddie loves are: Food, Dancing (so cute),Swinging at the park, Dolls, Other babies, Collin, Dad, and Mom.
She is growing so fast, we love her so much.

So EXCITED!

I recently found the first chapter to the fourth book in the twilight series, Breaking Dawn online. (don't read it if you like surprise, it is a spoiler) I didn't want to go buy the special edition version of eclipse which has the first chapter in it. I already have the third book. If i couldn't find it online i was tempted to go to Barnes and Noble and read it. (I know what you are thinking... I just really like the books and am dying to find out what happens) All i have to say is i can not wait until Aug. 2. I think this is going to be my favorite out of all of them. If you have the chance to read it do i know you will like it. I don't really know what the Preface is talking about? Or who it is talking about. I just hope it ends good. I am a total Edward fan so i am hoping she stays with him.
