camelback

yesterday melanie {my sister visiting from Boston} and i hiked camelback. the girls in my family love this hike! we try to do it every time mel comes to visit. this time it was just us two since tara just had a baby, nan’s pregnant, and sweet mom was watching little maddix. we usually go early in the morning so that we can hurry and hike then make it to last chance in time for a fun little shopping spree :) we didnt do that this time since we both decided we didnt need to spend money on clothes. boo. we did hit a new record time climbing to the top though! and unfortunately this is the only picture we got and it was on mel’s phone. mostly taken just for proof that we made it to the top :) and maybe to send to my sister to brag about our new time.

My oldest sister Tara had her baby on March 21st.

saturday is a special day

yesterday maddix actually “slept in” {meaning he didn’t wake up until 7:30am}. it was beautiful! we decided to go on a family walk to fresh & easy to get some stuff to make a yummy breakfast. by the time we got home from the store we had about 20 minutes to make breakfast, eat breakfast, feed maddix, and get ready before we needed to leave to meet my family at usury pass. we did it in 30. SO close. brig made us delicious hash brown/bacon/egg burritos. mmmm… and i ate mine with ketchup :) it’s a lesueur thing. {if you didn't already know, we eat everything with ketchup}
brig carried maddix in a little yellow back pack while we all hiked up the mountain! maddix fell asleep half way up and stayed asleep until half way down. he looked so uncomfortable! when we got down, some of my family that didn't hike met us with lunch. we ate and hung out for awhile then headed back home.
maddix went down for another nap. i did some cleaning then hit up the gym for a little workout. when i got back, brig dared me to jump in the pool {water is still freeeezing.} i did only because i got a little mullah for it :) when i came out of the water, I was screeching with coldness…maddix was holding onto the outside of the fence just bawling because he thought something happened to me. poor kid!
the rest of the day included laying out, pulling weeds, and playing with m-dawg.
later we headed on over to good ol’ costa vida. a cute, nice old man from japan sat next to us and entertained maddix while we ate our grub. he kept saying, “i am taekwando master!” again, and again, and again… it was awesome! the full on accent combined with the hand motions made it super entertaining..not only for maddix but for us as well. maddix was cracking up!!!
after costa vida we went to my cousins wedding reception and then hung out with some friends.
what a fun, eventful day! we’re just one big fappy hamily :)
{quick story- so we’re on a road trip and my older sister was trying to get us to all get along and she said, “can’t we all just be one big fappy hamily??” lets just say it made us all get along because we were laughing so hard :) }
