Maddie's Big Girl Bed


We finally moved Maddie into her Big Girl Bed a couple weeks ago. She has been ready for a few months, but I haven't wanted to let her have the freedom! She was always contained in the crib and I was just being lazy. Anyway so we finally did it and for the first two weeks she didn't think she could get out of bed. It was awesome!! She would just lay there and call for me when she woke up in the morning and from her naps. I knew that it probably wouldn't last forever and it didn't, unfortunately! Now that she has discovered her freedom, she pretty much doesn't even sleep in her bed. Now I find her fast asleep under her table or somewhere on her floor.
The other day this is how I found her in Taggart's room. Yes that is her underneath the blanket!
Last night I went in to check on her and she was asleep on the floor with her blanket covering her entire body, and she had emptied out all of her drawers and there was a HUGE stack of all her clothes in the middle of the room. It is always so funny to go into her room and see where she fell asleep! I am beginning to wonder if we even needed to get her a bed at all! I guess our little Maddie is growing up and declaring her independence!

Memorial Weekend

We had such a fun weekend over Memorial Day that I totally forgot to post it! We spent it up at Panguitch Lake at the Todd's cabin. It's was a cold and rainy weekend, but we still managed to get in some great rides. We saw a lot of dear and got attacked by the craziest bugs ever!! Don't these two look hilarious in their goggles??

We had a lot of fun relaxing on the hammock. The kids loved it! Doesn't Tag look all GQ in this picture? Almost like he is saying, "Yeah, I get all the ladies.." Too funny!

We spent a lot of time by the fire getting warm.


We went down to the little stream by the cabin and Cam caught several fish with this net; it was awesome! We also saw a few snakes and he caught one of those too! He was totally in his element in the wilderness, just like the good old days!
We ate at the Burger Barn, but this time it wasn't nearly as good as the last time. Maybe it was because it took so long and the fries and onion rings were soggy by the time we got back to the cabin. We won't ever get take out from the Burger Barn again!

On the flip side, Cam mastered the art of making smores and cooked us all up the best Smores we have ever eaten! Cam couldn't stop eating them and ended up being sick by eating six! Doesn't that look tasty?
It was such a great weekend and we ended it off with an amazing ride in Paguitch and got to the top of a huge Mountain where we could look all over 3 different Valleys. It was so amazing and we were running from a Storm the entire time... and we never got rained on. It was a lot of fun and I hope you all remember who ended up as the President in Scum... ME!! Thanks to all for a great weekend, hopefully we can do it again soon!
