BABY ON THE WAY!!!

Paul and I are happy to announce that we are expecting our second child! I am due Oct. 20th. We are extremely excited about the upcoming arrival. We would like a girl this time around, but we will be happy with what ever our Heavenly Father blesses us with. I'm really excited for Maddox to have a sibling. So far I have been feeling extremely tired lately and sleeping whenever I can. I also am nauseated a lot, but don't throw up- it stinks!!

Baby Shower

On Feb. 7th Maddox and I took a nice trip up to Challis, Idaho to attend a friend's Baby Shower. Kristal is having a boy and is due March 27th. It was great to be able to travel up there to see her and her family. The baby shower was tons of fun and there were a lot of people. I'm so excited for her and Mike! They will make great parents!

HAPPY "1st" BIRTHDAY

Maddox turned the big "1yr old" on Feb. 3rd. For Maddox's first Birthday he got to celebrate it twice!! On Jan. 31st, we celebrated Maddox's birthday early with Paul's family down in Utah! It was so much fun and Paul's sisters did so much, thank you. Jenn decorated her home, made Maddox a cake just for him, and made dinner for everyone! Dc special ordered a cake just for his birthday! Once again thank you so much.

On Feb. 3rd we got to celebrate Maddox's Birthday again. We invited family over and had dinner and cake. Maddox received balloons from Paul's parents and just went crazy with them. I had big plans of making a great cake, but when we heard that if it is your child's 1st Birthday, Albertsons will make them one for free. Well we couldn't pass it up (and it was a very nice cake). So we got that cake just for Maddox to tear up and then got another from Costco for everyone else. It was a great evening and lots of fun. We made sure to get a lot of photos.

Maddox received tons of great gifts, but I think he had more fun with the tissue paper and boxes.
