Ok so I am such a dork, but today while getting ready for church I purposely dressed Maddy to match me...actually she was dressed first so I purposely matched her. We had a pink and brown theme going on! Anyway it made a good opportunity for Rylan to take our picture since Scott has left us for the Army again. Love ya babe!

It's swell to be ONE!

Our little Madelyn turned one on Wednesday! We had a great day, and when dad came home we were ready to party. We had Madelyn's favorite meal for dinner, macaroni and cheese (with extra cheese) and cooked carrots. Then we had cupcakes, it was so much fun to watch her eat and gobble it up. A video of us singing to her... She loved that she had the cupcake all to herself and that it was big and not cut up for her! oh and I always forget to hold the camera horizontal when taking a video! So sorry you have to tilt your head at first! Then we went to a new aquatic center but found out that they weren't open due to swimming lessons so we went to another swimming pool and they were closed...so we gave up and went home. We opened presents, then played in the back yard sprinkler. She LOVES Elmo right now! Sitting with her daddy on the patio. Madelyn is quite the character!

We decided to have one last hoop-lah before the weather got cold and headed up to Idaho to experience Lava Hot Springs, Idaho. What a blast! Not only did they have the extremely hot pools, but they have a wicked waterpark, and a cute little river that runs right through the middle of the town that you can tube down. There are even some decent rapids. Decent should explain why me and our friend Alison flipped the tube going down..hee hee! Our husbands were laughing their heads off up the river bank at us, it must have looked funny. It was really fun! Scott and Rylan went down first with our friend Pete who actually went down the river on a $1 air mattress. He hit some rocks and had some huge battle scars to prove how MANLY he was. Here are some pictures of Rylan and Scott. After floating the river we had lunch then went to the waterpark, which was packed but Rylan had fun because they had big slides he could actually go down. Then we went to Pocatello for dinner. We then drove to Idaho ...
