Thankful Weekend


I wanted this post to be a continuation of "Worst Luck Ever" but after realizing that my luck could have been much worse I changed my idea to how thankful I was for the things that did happend. The first thing I am thankful for is my sister-in-law letting us stay at their house the first night and showing Maddyn how to use the walking toy. She is almost walking by herself. She can walk around the couch and table but has not dared walking without. The next thing I am thankful for it the short amount of time it took for Trevor to fix a faucet in our house for the renters. Even though he forgot to turn the water off and the mess got everywhere it worked!!! I am also thankful that my parents came to stay with us in Provo over the Holiday. Without them we would have been carless. Yes that is right, our car (the one we bought so it wouldn't beak down) broke down. This brings me to my next thankful thing. I am thankful our car did not break down in the freeway. We were able to drive it to the dealership. When it was fixed, I was very thankful we had just recieved our rent check from our renters which went directly to fixing our car.

The rest of the weekend was great. I am so thankful that our hotel had an indoor pool and Maddyn loved the water. When we held her on her belly she would kick her legs and mover her arms as if she were swimming. It was so fun to see her love the water. We went swimming every spare second we had. We also tried to nap every spare second we had. I am so thankful Maddyn slept in my parents room and they were very nice and got up with her in the night. As you can see they also took naps with her also. It was very cute.
In between the napping and the swimming we also visited the Thanksgiving Point Dinosaur museum. It was very fun. I am thankful Maddyn loved looking at all the big dinosaurs and after some coaxing sat on one for a picture. She even watched a 45 minute 3d movie with us without crying. She is such a good baby.






After the museum we got to go to dinner and swim with Harmonie and her family. The picture below is of Maddyn's new cheesy smile. I am so thankful we finally caught it on camera.





Even with all of the misfortunes we had this weekend it was really great. Thanks mom and dad for spoiling us and keeping our mind off all the bad luck we had.

:o) is me - Jen. I'm not sure why all of the sudden I am a symbol. I'll look into it. Maybe it's because I am as cool as the artist formerly known as Prince.
