New stolen idea

I saw this idea at our last lunch and learn. I loved it and did my own twist. What do you think?

Uh Oh

While Trevor was feeding Zobug, Maddyn decided she could not wait for a "butter sandwich". She made one for her and her friend. Looks very appetizing huh?

6 months

Zoey is 6 months old. She is getting so big. She is 15 pounds and 24 inches. She is still in the 15%. She is sitting up all by herself. She is up on all fours and rocking. She will smile at anyone and anything. Maddyn can make her laugh at anything. She loves to be around people. She sleeps 13 hours at night. She will take 2 to 3 naps a day and will not tell you when she has woke up. You have to go in and check on her because she will just lay there. She never cries. She loves talking and babbling. Her nicknames are Zobug, Bugga, Zobe, Buggabo, Zoey Bugga, Zoey Bugger Pie. She is eating squash, carrots, applesauce, and pears. Maddyn is totally protective of her and will do anything for Zobug.

Dancing

Maddyn's favorite thing to do is be a cheerleader. She loves dancing around the house and making a cheer out of everything.

Arizona

I cant figure out how to get these to the bottom so here are the Zoo pics discussed below.

Last week, I went to Arizona with some friends to go the the Phoenix Time Out for Women. This was the most amazing conference. I learned so much and am going to go to it every year now. The girls I went with are so amazing and inspirational. Here are some of my favorite quotes from the conference

"How do you have a successful marriage? Lower your standards"- Marjorie Hinckley

"Get out of the business of comparison, you will always find someone fatter, skinnier, richer or poorer than you" - Virginia Hinckley

"Heaven will not be Heavenly if we have not chosen to be Heavenly" Brad Wilcox

"Jesus does not make up the difference, He makes all the difference" Brad Wilcox

After the conference, Grammy and Papa brought the girls down and picked me up in Phoenix. We had so much fun for a whole week. It was kind of rainy and cold so we didn't swim much, but we found a lot to do. We first went to Chuck E Cheese. We just played the games and then went somewhere else to eat. They put a number on everyone as they come in so that you leave with the right children. So COOL. Maddyn loved playing the games and getting tickets to buy her bracelets.

We also went to this old time city where they did an amazing stunt show. Maddyn got to ride on a train and visit some fun shops.

We also went to a local elementary schools carnival where maddyn continually went on the bouncy slide over and over. She could not understand the concept of waiting in line.

Then we went to the Zoo. This was a perfect zoo for little kids. It was small and compact so Maddyn didn't have to walk too far to see the animals. She loved it. I especially loved the llamas ;)

Halloween project

I totally stole this from someone else. But it was so cute I couldn't help myself. It was suppose to be our family home evening project, but I ended up doing it while Trevor got the monsters ready for bed.

Picnic

Maddyn's favorite fall activity is having a picnic. She would gather everything she could possibly find and put it in her shopping cart. Then she would wheel it out to the front lawn and lay it all out. She would bring a blanket for everyone to enjoy (even minnie). She would also get snack and drinks. She wanted me and Zobug to sit out there with her all day. I could not get her to come inside for the life of me. Everynight we had to go gather her picnic supplies so it wouldn't get wet. Now since the weather is cold, she has moved on to indoor picnics and her supplies is carried around in my suitcase. She has to have the suitcase by her bed at night or she FREAKS out. Some items included in her suitcase are, slippers, wipes, diapers, a plunger, cheese (3 days out of the fridge), and her hair detangle spray. I will post pictures of this soon.

Camping

About a month ago we decided to go camping with our friends Natalie and Jesse. Maddyn we knew would have a blast. We were a little worried about Zobug, but she did fabulous. We took the camper for the girls so they would not get cold. We had great food and Maddyn made friends with Natalie and the dirt. She managed to get her hands dirty 3 seconds after washing them everytime. We even brought her 4 wheeler so she could do some real off roading. We had so much fun.
