Busy Weekend

On Friday night our Stake had a "Family Fun Fair" and we decided to check it out and let Madeline run around for awhile. They had one of those huge blow up slides and we have tried to take her on those 2 times this year and each time she would cling to me and would not let go. But she was really interested in it and as you can see in the pictures she loved it. Not only did she love it but she would do it all by herself. Skipper was so funny and nervous about it.

















On Saturday we went up Big Cottonwood Canyon and let Madeline play in a stream, went on a hike, and had a picnic. It was a lot of fun and it got Skipper and I wondering why we haven't done this before.















Saturday night Madeline went to her little boyfriends birthday. His name is Keldon and he was turning 2. They had bubbles so Madeline was happy. She doesn't quite get how to blow but she
sure tried hard to figure it out.

Skippers vacation oh I mean business trip

Skipper left on Monday for a business trip. He went to the Arizona Diamondbacks game last night and is golfing this morning...did I mention he is staying at the Four Seasons in Scottsdale!

We miss him so much and can't wait for him to come home on Friday! This is the longest in our almost 4 years of marriage that we have been apart and I hate it! Madeline keeps asking where he is :( . Next time we get to go to!

Here is a couple of pictures of where he is staying!

Madeline's first picture of herself!

I lost my camera so I only have pictures from the first part of the month. I have been hoping that my camera was going to show up but it has been 3 weeks and I am tired of waiting. I am going to go buy a new fancy camera this week! My mom, little sister Haylie, my brother Marcus and his wife Haley all came out and stayed with us the first part of July. It was so much fun to see them and for them to see Madeline. We went to the Real Salt Lake game and got to watch fireworks. Skipper bought a little England soccer Jersey when we was in England a few years ago and it is Madeline size now. So I put her in it to surprise Skipper, and boy was he. She was so cute at the game. Afterwards Skipper was carrying Madeline and a man tapped him on the shoulder and said that he was watching her during the game and wished that he had a camera. He was from England and he wanted to take a picture of her in her little England soccer jersey.



My mom, Haylie, Madeline and I went to the this is the place park. It was fun for them to see what they have done there. It is a little pioneer village and it is fun to walk through. My mom couldn't believe that Madeline ran the entire 3 hours we were there. We have gone swimming a bunch this month and Madeline is finally loving it. We also got to go to Lagoon with Skipper's family but no camera so no pictures. It has been a fun and busy month!!
