Randomness

I haven't posted in a long time and thought I would post a few pictures of a few of the things we have done lately. I need to take more pictures, but I always seem to forget too.

Madison and her Daddy on Father's Day. Madison is real happy as you can see. Mat is seriously the best dad ever and loves Madison so much and takes such good care of her. Madison will definitely be able to get anything she wants from her dad when she gets older.

We had a little party celebrating Madison and Erin's (Madison's Birth Mom) birthdays which both were in June. Erin had us come to her home and put together a great little party to celebrate. Here are some of the cute decorations. It looked so adorable.

Singing Happy Birthday to Madison and Erin. Madison's face is so funny in this picture.

Madison having some of the yummy cupcake that Erin made.

Madison loving her new little hippo that some of Erin's friends gave to Madison. It was very sweet of them.

Erin is in the middle holding an unhappy Madison along with two of Erin's brothers, sister, and Mom. It was really so great to meet some of Erin's siblings for the first time. They are really nice.

Cute picture of Madison and her birth mom.

Us with Erin and her mom. We look like Jolly Green Giants next to them.

Madison's face is so adorable while she was look at Erin's sister.

Madison's little flag on the 4th of July.

Madison's cousins trying to help Madison walk.

Our cute little fam.

We had a little BBQ at my mom's house on the 4th and it was fun. Here are all the cousins together except Jensen who was sleeping inside. They are all mostly all looking at the camera, maybe not smiling, but at least looking in the general direction of the camera.

Our first camping trip this Summer. We camped above Fairview. Here is us by the campfire.

Cloy, Steven, and my Mom.

Mat trying to eat one the jumbo marshmallows smashed between two cookies. The big mallows get enormous when you roast them and you can only eat one if you do. I prefer roasting the normally mallows.

Mat cuddling with sweet Madison after I got out of the warm blankets to get her and bring her to him. She actually cuddled for a while with him which is a miracle because Madison usually does not cuddle.

Just hanging out in the trailer.

We went for a little walk/hike. It was really beautiful. It is always so wonderful to get out and enjoy being in nature.

Madison trapped in her play pen.

On the actual 24th of July we went to my Uncle's cabin like usual, but I didn't take any pictures. On the 25th we went swimming with Mat's fam for our family night. Madison enjoyed the water like usual.

Tyler (one of Mat's step-brothers), his two girls, and Madison floating on the raft.

After swimming we went to my Grandma's to watch the firework show that Liberty Park puts on. While waiting we played some phase 10 and when it started raining we moved the game inside.

Here is our little fam. Madison did really well staying up so late. It was her first time watching fireworks.

Here is some of the gang waiting around and watching a few fireworks that we bought and lit.

One weekend we went to a campsite up Big Cottonwood Canyon and had a dutch oven dinner. Madison looks so cute in her little piggy tails.

The three of us enjoy the outdoors.

Here is the proof of us doing the dutch oven. We made some fried chicken, potatoes and veggies, and then some yummy peach cobbler for dessert.

The rest of the gang that enjoyed the delicious dutch oven dinner. We also played some action Uno which is a really fun game and it was very entertaining playing with my Mom.

After the dutch oven dinner the very next morning we came right back to Big Cottonwood canyon and went on a hike. We hiked to Lake Mary, Lake Catherine, and Lake Martha (not sure exactly what the hike is called).

Pretty view. We really do live in such a beautiful state.

Us by one of the Lakes.

Madison looking adorable with the little flower in her hair. Madison did really well on the hike and even fell asleep on the way back even though her head was bouncing all around.

Just because she is so adorable.

A couple of weeks ago Mat's youngest brother and wife had their first little baby. Here is us meeting little Tenley. She is so adorable and so precious. She weighed over 8lbs and was over 21 inches long.

The other weekend we went four wheeling with Mat's family. Madison had a great time playing in the dirt. Madison loves playing in dirt and even enjoys eating it too.

Madison hanging out with her daddy on a four wheeler for the first time.

Some of the gang hanging out while others were four wheeling.

Our niece Sydney learning how to ride a little motorcycle. She did really well and it was fun to watch her.

Us in the razor. We had a nice ride in it and even took Madison with us. Madison did really well and seemed to enjoy the ride. It was so beautiful and we had a really great day four wheeling.

A random shot of our little princess.
