MESSY BOY











So tonight after dinner Maddux saw the oreos on the counter and...well I thought I'd be a fun mommy and the pictures explain it all. You can even see his top teeth if you look close! He has been making this face all the time now too, opening his mouth!
I almost forgot the BEST part of tonight! He pooped in the tub for the first time! At least it was solid! ;) He was just standing at the faucet, a little fart out of his cute bum, and then it came before I even knew what was happening! But...a little Clorox for the tub, a little wipe of the bum and we were good!
Then our friends Calvin, Andrea and Madi came over. So we had to get pictures with the two kids. Maddux seems to be very fascinated by little Madison. When she cries and makes any noise. He keeps wanting her eyes and laughs every time he touches her arm. It's adorable.

SO MUCH TO UPDATE ON...
















Alright, so much has happened since Fourth of July, I apologize for not updating the blog. So the big things are these:
Skyler got laid off from his job, which in reality is not a bad thing. Well, the company, as of this coming Friday, will shut down it's Rexburg location. They told every one like 6 weeks earlier. Anyway, one Friday Skyler sat there talking to the managers about his business ideas and plans and when he came back on Monday they said they were letting him go early so he could focus on that. So, we left for our vacation!
We went to California for about a week and it was so nice to get out of Rexburg! We had our family reunion and I think it was the most fun I've had at a Reunion in a long time. Perhaps that is because I haven't been to a reunion in a long time! I cut my hair off, along with Cristina and Rachael. I was relentless with my nagging Cristina to do it, and it totally paid off because it is so cute. All three of us got the same hair cut and when the Utah cousins came, Tara, Jackie, and Lauren.. they had the same hair too! So we just HAD to document it! And Maddux got hid first hair cut too! He looks just like a little man now! He did pretty well, too. towards the end he was like, "OK grandma! I'm done now!" but up 'til then he just let grandma cut while he played with his toy.
As you can see from the pictures, his Aunties gave him all kinds of "good" food. Probably didn't help because Maddux got sick towards the end of our trip. Throwing up...it was gross and really bad. Projectile. Anyway, when we got home we all got sick and basically moped around the apartment for a week. Then at the end of the week he got a fever, we took him in and nothing. Nothing was wrong except that he was teething. He's getting his top two teeth and the doctor said it was rare that a kid will get a 101 fever while teething, but that's what was happening. He's much better now, though. Sleeping is not so difficult and his teeth have broken through. They look huge to me! I think he's going to have these big front teeth! It'll be so cute!
Our friends Calvin and Andrea had their baby girl 3 weeks ago! Madison Lynn Warner. She is so cute and so tiny! It's crazy to think that Maddux was actually SMALLER than her! Here's some pics of her too.
We are working on my website and Skyler's, so while those are in the process I have started a new blog to showcase some of my work. Obviously there will be more on the website, and more categories, but I just wanted to show a few of my favorites and give y'all a taste of what I can do. Christmas is on it's way, so if anyone wants to order Christmas cards let me know!
Here's so pictures from the last little while. This should make the grandparents and great grandparents happy!
