Happy Baby!

Madi has been smiling in her sleep since the day she was born, but she is becoming a lot more intentional now. This morning she and Dad were playing and we finally caught a smile on camera. We LOVE this baby!

Potholes!

Every summer my family joins up with our dear friends, the McDonalds to go to our traditional camping spot. We camp on the beach of Potholes reservoir for 3 days and get in as much R&R and S (skiing) as possible. I personally, am not a huge skier, but love the family time and will definitely take my turns behind the boat. (Proof may come later, the picture is on my Mom's camera.)
Part of this 16 year tradition is that every year there is something new added. Until last year, the best addition was a biffy, but last year Brett and Sommer brought the first of the next generation. This year, Madi was the new addition.
Here is Auntie Jenni with Madi observing the beautiful sunset.

Grama got Mosquito nets for Madi so that the squiters didn't get her while she slept. Amazingly, she slept great while we were camping. This picture is in the morning when the sun woke Kevin and I up, but she kept sleeping for another hour.

The tent village at sunrise.

Here's the Skeen crew Saturday afternoon. We were missing Andrew and Rachel, but glad Brian was able to join us Friday night and Saturday.

Overall we had a blast. There was a pretty wild storm on Friday and then some winds that ruined the water Saturday, but we really enjoyed the sun and the quality time together.

Props to our loving Mothers who make this all possible and our Fathers who make great sacrifices to leave work behind for the long weekend. We love family! We love Potholes!

Catchin' some Zzzs

Someone was tired, and apparently it wasn't Madi!

Don't mind the blog

I was trying to play around with it and messed it all up. I'll be back to fix it. For now, just turn off the aesthetic portion of your brain!

Hey Look...photo recap

I'm here sitting at my father in laws computer and I'm going to steal some pictures that he's taken to fill you in on a couple events immediately before Madi... Here we go!

Here's the bunch of us that Graduated in April - Kevin, me, Rachel (Andrew's wife) and Jenni. Wahoo for all of us! But, we are very sad to no longer be together in Provo.

Okay, I don't want you all to see how cute we are on workdays, but here is a picture of round one of the move (Yes, I am the round one, too). After graduation, Kevin's Dad took a trailer load of stuff to Boise. We thought it was pretty impressive how loaded the trailer was... little did we know what was to come.

Here is what was to come. Please don't judge quantity, we have realized we have too much JUNK and not enough quality stuff, so now that we suffered through moving it all I am finally going through it all and getting rid of LOTS. (Sorry to all those who helped us move it, and a huge thank you for your patience!)

Well, there are some other fun pics on this computer, but I'll save them for another time. Thanks for visiting!
