Matching outfits--because moms like to play dress up too

I have been having a lot of fun finding matching outfits for the girls. Target makes everything in 12months through 5T so I hope that the girls don't mind to much because I just can't help myself.

Lily is not so happy when her sister tries to "help" her. She can stand up all by herself now for about 30 seconds she is also crawling! It is so fun to watch the look of satisfaction on her face at mastering her new skills.

Madison reading Lily a book. She really does love her little sister.

TIme with Uncle Josh

My brother Josh came to Florida to visit and experience a tropical storm. We had a great time. We went to the beach, fished, played in the everglades, and celebrated his birthday.

Josh's birthday party.


Madison and I made Josh a M &M cake.
Fun at the beach. Lily had her first day of sand. She had so much fun playing in the sand.



Hanging with dad.

School Party

Every fall semester my school has a big BBQ. They always have great food and lots of fun outdoor amusement. Lily experienced her first taste of cotton candy and shaved ice. She really liked the shaved ice. I think the cotton candy was too sticky for her to enjoy. However it was very amusing watching her try out some fun stuff.
Every year they have a Bubble house. Madison loves it. They have a blow up fun house and put a large bubble maker inside. Even some of the adults couldn't resist jumping in some bubbles.


She saw the rock climbing wall and wanted to put on a harness like she did in Idaho. She's ready to go Steve.
Madison also played on the bungee tramp. At first she seemed a little frightened however after a few tries she faced her fears and bounced high.

Home Sweet Home

Lily loves the camera. She loves being happy.



Madison was so excited to see her freinds. Kendyll and Madison had a great time dancing while watching, "So You Think You Can Dance".
Madison was ready to get back in the water when we got home. When she left to Idaho she had just began to try to swim. She took swimming lessons in Idaho. However, they turned out to be a waste. She thought the water was too cold. When we got home I decided that it was time to give her the dunk and teach her to swim. After choking, coughing and puking she finally got it.
Lily loves her lady bug float ring. She is so funny.

LEAVING IDAHO-Airport Stories

Angela , Madison, and Lily were able to spend a month in Idaho. I was able to visit them for a few weeks. They had so much fun. However the day came when we had to return. Despite our fear Madison and Lily did really good flying and hanging out in the airports.
Pocatello Airport. Pocatello is small, however, they do have a airport. With my new job we were able to fly in and out of the Pocatello airport. It is really nice not having to make the drive to Salt Lake City.
Lily has turned into the smiler. She is so much fun and makes me feel so happy when I see her big smile.
Hanging out in Salt Lake Airport. While Angela and I were struggling to stay awake from wakeing up at 4:00am, Lily and Madison showed no signs of fatigue.
When we finally reached home we took a bus from the terminal to the employee parking garage. Lily reached out and grabbed the pole. I thought it was so funny.
The trip was not too bad. We flew from Pocatello to SLC. Then we flew form SLC to Dallas. We had a 2 hour lay over in Dallas. We got to Ft. Lauderdale at 9:00pm.
4:00am mountain time-to-9:00 eastern.
