It has been forever since I have put up a new post. I apologize. So here are some pictures from the last little while.


This is the norm for Daddy and Maddux. Daddy chasing him and watching t.v. together.

Maddux found some marinara sauce when mommy and daddy weren't looking.



On our way to Nate and Chelsea's wedding and to Denver for Thanksgiving, we got to see Claire, Lolli and Ryan down in Provo. Maddux loved Lolli's bus, but was not happy when she decided she wanted it! It was so great to see them and totally due!



Nate and Chelsea Gray's wedding in the Las Vegas temple!

He wouldn't follow us to the car. Nap time= grouchy time!





We had Thanksgiving and then an early Christmas with the Malley side of the Family this year. Grandma gave Maddux a stuffed Eore that he loved! He LOVES My friends Tigger and Pooh and has really started to recognize who the characters are.

Well this is all I have time for at this point. Maddux is waking up, so next time he naps I'll have to try and post more!

HALLOWEEN AND SUCH!

It's COLD outside now so I just had to get a picture of the little man in his cute jacket that grandma Malley got him!


So Maddux is now walking like crazy and climbing onto everything. The only problem is...he can't get down. I had to get a picture of this. It was hilarious.



Halloween was fun. We went to our ward party and it was partly put on by the primary so my booth was the trunk-or-treat bags that the kids got to decorate. It was a great hit! I got my men to dress up with me, too! There was some arm twisting with Skyler, but he finally gave in! And everyone loved Maddux's letterman jacket. Mom, they were very impressed! I had to get pictures of our friends, Brandon and Ruth Bishop's kids. Sisily, Ayla and Daphne were the cutest nuns! She makes their costumes every year and does such a great job! She bribed them with chocolate to stand and pose for the camera. And the Warners were so cute and funny too!

VOTE FOR MADDUX...EVERYDAY!

I entered Maddux into the BabyGAP casting call. So we will see what happens, but if you vote for him EVERYDAY, we COULD possibly win the fan favorite vote and THEN a much needed REAL vacation! Here's the link for his entry. Unfortunately you do have to register with family.com, but you'll do it for us right? And here's the picture we submitted for him! Thanks to everyone who has voted so far and is going to vote and will continue to vote! ;) WE LOVE YOU ALL!

GROWING!

Maddux just keeps getting bigger! What's up with that? He has finally out grown his infant car seat and is now in a big boy chair. He LOVES it! It is so funny to watch him because now he can see where we are going and be next to the window. He also thinks it's funny to look at us in the rear view mirror and plays peek-a-boo with daddy. He is walking so much now, hardly ever crawls and just wants to go all over the place.
Some amazing news...Maddux has started, for the last week or more, to go to bed early AND sleep COMPLETELY through the night. I can't tell you all how amazing this is! Early for us is like 8:30 or 9pm. It used to be between 10:30 and midnight before he would calm down and not cry for forever in his bed. And then he would wake up hungry at about 5am. Not anymore! Now we have to wake him at 7:30 to take Daddy to school! LIFE IS BEAUTIFUL!

A GREAT YEAR!

This last year with Maddux has been absolutely wonderful. With a bunch of friends being pregnant and having babies, it is a little bittersweet to look at my own baby and know that he is growing and will never be a baby again. So I had to post a few of these pictures from his first year with us. We love him so much and are so grateful to have him in our life. He truly makes us complete...but I still want more babies!

PARTIES!

Here's some pictures from Maddux's little party we had Thursday night. We had some good friends and family over and all the little kids loved all of Maddux's presents. Especially his sweet cousin Connor. He tried to leave with Maddux's new police car. It was so funny, but he willingly gave it back. Now we know what Connor next gift should be! ;) We had lots of fun and it was great to have everyone there, crammed into our little place! I love this picture of him standing and walking. It's like "Yeah, I walk. No big deal!"
Tonight we went out to dinner with some friends for Skyler's birthday and then went and played lazer tag! That was so fun. I can't remember the last time I did that!
