first of all, maddix is officially crawling..everywhere! we now need to baby-proof the house. like crazy. he loves getting into chords, almost tipped the stand-up fan onto himself, almost pulled the curling iron down onto himself. i tell ya, its scary!
second, in case you were wondering, we had an awesome weekend. friday morning we learned to love each other a little more and realize how blessed we are as a family and to have the gospel in our lives. brig’s good friends wife was pregnant with a little boy after trying for a couple years. she lost the baby a couple days before she was supposed to be induced. they had a funeral on friday morning that we attended. that was the most emotional thing. we just sat there and held maddix so tight..we could hardly get through the opening hymn “Families Can Be Together Forever”. we were super choked up. yes, even brigham..which is totally not like him. that was such a good reminder for us to take advantage of our sweet healthy little boy. i wouldnt have it any other way. that day we learned to be so patient with him..if he cried we just held him and comforted him and realized how blessed we are to have a crying baby in the home, to have a non-sleeping baby in the home, to have a baby in the home at all! i love my family more than anything and im so glad that we can be together forever.
brig took the rest of the day off. i went to lunch with my sister in laws then baked and decorated a cake for pretty much the rest of the night. {no worries, i took a break and we went to paradise bakery for din din and then walked to wal mart :)} my sisters and mom came over at 9:30..PM! to help me a little with another cake. they are the best! i would have been up all night doing that! it was a huge cake. but we had so much fun together :)
saturday consisted of a 5 mile run, more cake decorating, snorkeling in the swimming pool {practicing up for hawaii..the count down is on}, napping in the sun, and then dinner at arriba’s {delish} and walking around san tan mall with brig’s sister and brother in law.
sunday was a relaxed day, went to church, had home teachers, rested, ate dinner, then visited the weights.

speaking of working out. this is my entertainment at the gym..not really her..but pretty much her twin and husband. my favorite part is watching from the second floor. everyone that she walks by just stares with nasty looks on their faces while whispering to their friends. it is awesome. what do you think brig? should i ask her to be my trainer?? eh? or better yet, should i ask her what she takin?
