our week off!

sunday was a great day...

desite the fact that getting going to 9 o'clock church was a little rough.

madyn had a great day in nursery.

she went right in and didn't even need to take a comfort toy.

she had to come out to get a diaper change and when she

went back in I watched her tell all her teachers how SHE CHANGED!

they all gave her high fives- she was pretty proud of herself.

we found out that next week she will start moonbeams...

im hoping she will handle that transition ok.

Monday I spent the day cleaning and getting the house back in order.

seriously it is a WRECK!

Tuesday we decided to head up to the mountains to

try out the truck!

we had a nice ride.

we were heading down side road and all the sudden a coyote

jumped right out in front of us.

eric hurried grabbed his 243 and darted out of the truck...

unfortunately it was a heavily wooded area so he didn't get a shot at it.

but as soon as he got out of the truck our sleeping madyn woke up.

she said- what's dad doing? I said he's going to shoot a coyote.

she got soooo excited- daddy shoot a witch?!?

sure mads, sure.

after that we really started seeing some animals.

we saw 5 head of elk...

unfortunately I couldn't get a good picture... even though I trekked through

knee deep snow to get it!
we also saw 3 moose

 and lots of heards of antelope and deer.
 

 

 

 

we also took a break from driving and let madyn sled around for a little bit.

of course she loved it!

I sure love those two!!!

 

 

that night Easton came over for a sleep over since Mark, Brandy and Graysen

had to go to a follow up appointment in Denver early the next morning.

Madyn and East had such a good day together.

I love how great of friends they are.

 

 

 my funny madyn stories of the day are....
1. she let Minnie watch her movie :)
I seriously love her imagination!

2. she likes being a monster...
she's obsessed with monsters, witches and dinosaurs right now.
she's a pretty scary one too huh?!?

3. I put up my new Christ statue in our living room.
Madyn went up to it and did a curtsy bow
and said Hi Jesus! I'm princess Madyn!
she makes me giggle A LOT!
later that night we went
to the cowboys basketball game.
 Thursday we ran a few errands around town and then
hung out for the most of the day.
eric was nice enough to let me take a nap.
I didn't feel so hot.
later that night I was worried about madyn not feeling so
good but by morning she had snapped out of it.
some reason on Friday and Saturday I still felt pretty nasty.
just weird and headachy and dizzyish.
but seriously having eric home has been a lifesaver so I could get some rest.
we spent the rest of the weekend watching football and
hanging out as a family.
boy I live the life don't I?!?
