Long time!

I wish that I was a better blogger but I have been so busy lately that it has been hard for me to get on here and write. Skipper is just finishing up his last class and then he will be graduated!! I am so excited! He has been around alot more these last few days and I feel so giddy and excited to see him. We are looking for a job so if anyone knows of any let me know!

The other day we took Madeline to the tulip festival at Thanksgiving Point because she loves Wowers "flowers" . It is so cute because she actually bends down to smell them and licks the flower and says Mmmm!! Anyway we bought Coppertones waterbabies sunscreen last year


and we noticed that she would break out in a rash on her face. Well at Thanksgiving Point we put the sunscreen on her and she broke out in this horrible rash and then the sunscreen ran into her eyes! On the drive home she was blinking and shaking her head and squinting. Her eyes were so red and blood shot. We called the doctor who said we needed to give her eyes a water bath. She hated it but it help. So I researched sunscreens and apparently this happens a lot with that brand because it is oil based and if any water gets on it it can run. So then I found this natural, chemical free sunscreen for babies that was highly recommended and hopefully will work...and it better at $30 a bottle...




Skipper and I in love at Thanksgiving Point. Madeline wouldn't take a picture with us because there was a water fountain that was way cooler than her parents...
Here is a current picture of Madeline. She is growing so fast and getting cuter everyday. I sure do love her!

I went to a train park w/a friend several weeks ago and she used the water babies on her son.(Yes, in March we start using sunscreen) After about 10 minutes, he was screaming and rubbing his eyes and we eventually had to leave cause he wouldn't stop. We figured it was the sunscreen, so I'll have to tell her what you found. Hayden has never had a problem with it. There are a lot of Pharm. rep jobs here in Phx if Skip wants to do that. Court is applying right now.(actually, I'm doing it for him...I got sick of waiting!)See you in Moab!!

Hey Nia! I'm glad that you found me on facebook. I'm not good at using that, but I love blogging, so I love that you have a blog. I want to get one of your Maddie Lous. I want the green one with the olive green polka dots (its the last fabric on your web page) I can just pay you through paypal, so let me know what I need to do.
