So a few weeks ago I finally downloaded all my pictures onto the computer and erased the memory card in my camera. The program I was using wasn't up to date enough to view the videos. So I downloaded the newer version,it took it a while for it to recognize. I sat down last night to see which ones were worth keeping. As I was doing that Madilyn was sitting on my lap. I probably shouldn't post my naked 2 year old on my blog, but for you to understand what she thinks is SO FUNNY its necessary! This was one of the videos I had recorded. *I DO NOT GET IT* But Madilyn loves it when Ron throws cold water on her in the bath... We watched it once...
Then we had to watch it again...
I thought it was hilarious! I hope you did too!

7 Months!
My mom can't believe I am SEVEN months old today! Some people would beg to differ, but she could definitely use MORE exercise! She says I keep her too busy and wear her out too fast to get it done! (I just think she's LAZY!) Here's a look at a few of the milestones I've accomplished in the last seven months.
Tah-DAH! I was born after only thirty minutes of arriving at the hospital!
My big sister Madilyn taught me how to color-but she got mad every time I put the crayons in my mouth!
I was blessed by my Dad! -Man what a big day that was!
After nearly three months of refusing a pacifier I finally found my thumb! Dad was NOT happy...but mom was because I was finally quiet!
I can even do tricks! I can roll ever and suck my thumb at the same time!...until something gets in the way. Then I get M-A-D!!
I had my first Easter
Went to the Forth of July Celebrations in Menan!
If you can't find me, I'm usually tangled up in the curtains. I'll play there for hours!
I can feed myself...kind of...
ESPECIALLY papers and tags! YUM! YUM!
I'm just getting so big! I can already FISH!

Fire Wood
A few years ago we put a wood burning stove in our house. It definitely cuts down on our heating expense. For the most part it has been worth every effort of "designing", installing, wood chopping, starting fires-ONLY THE INTENTIONAL ONES!, and dealing with the mess of wood chips. On Saturday Ron went up with Lane and Blair to get our years supply of fire wood. He borrowed a 25 foot dump truck to get the job done. He left at 7:00 and said he'd be back around 4 or 5. Well, I know Ronald. He's usually at least an hour longer than he expects. These were the "delays" of the day:
1. The forest ranger came and hunted them down and spent an hour reading them the rules and regulations of cutting down fire wood. There were a dozen or so calls made to him that morning because people were taking semi's to get their wood. (Ron admits the guy was nice too them, he just had to follow through on the complaints.)
2. One of the rules was that the logs couldn't be any longer than 8 feet-they were planning on doing 12 foot logs.
3. When Lane goes to get wood he usually gets the big fur trees that you can't even put your arms around them. Therefore, they only needed to get about 5 trees to fill the two dump trucks and the trailer. This time they got the "normal" trees so they had to cut done TONS!
4. Blair attempted to cut off his knee cap. Don't worry everyone. He is just fine. Melissa (his wife) made him sit out for about an hour. Turns out it bled more than it was worth. His pants are shredded, but as for is knee...just looks like he got in a fight with a kitty cat!
5. The forest ranger came back to double check that they were following the rules because he was STILL getting calls about those semi-trucks! Oops...they only filled one dump truck legally. I guess if they are longer than eight feet its considered commercial. They got away with it, but had to make notches in the loads that weren't legal.
They finally got to our house at 9:30. Blair and Melissa still had a 45 minutes drive to home. They hurried and ate dinner and took off for home. Since it was dark and so late we waited to dump our load after church on Sunday. It was almost a catastrophe!
THE LOAD
Here she goes!
Can you see the problem that almost became the catastrophe? -oh and yes, it was MY fault for not telling him sooner! (He was just mad I was laughing at him!)
The Solution: Dustin pulled the power line out of the way using a tow strap!

The Fair!
Mom and Dad took me and Landon to the fair yesterday! I was SO excited all day long. I couldn't wait for Dad to get home from work so we could go. Mom turned on the TV so I could watch some shows while I was waiting. She thought it would distract me from wanting to go RIGHT NOW! It helped a little but at every commercial break I would ask mom if it was time to go.
As soon as Dad got home I ran to the car, got in my carseat, and buckled up! I was ready! I was so excited, but mom and dad took FOREVER to get in the car! Then we had to go to the bank. I was heartbroken when we stopped at the house again. I thought dad was going to make me take a nap before we went! But he just forgot his Mountain Dew.
The first thing I wanted to do when we got there was see the horses, cows, and chickens! I love looking at animals. I even got to pet some of the horses!
We walked around a lot. I kept telling mom I wanted to go to the fair. She said we were at the fair. I didn't get it. Mom and Dad were looking at a lot of things that weren't animals!
After that Mom and I went I rode on tons of rides! It was a blast! I didn't want to leave. I was kind of disapointed though. I couldn't go on most of the rides because I was ONE INCH TOO SHORT! Here are some pictures of the fun we had!

When Tradgedy Strikes
The other day I was in the house changing Landon so we could go to a volleyball game. Madilyn was outside playing while she was waiting for me. All of a sudden she came running in not quite in tears, "Mom, Ours garden. OURS GARDEN." She seemed a little panicked so I put things down for a minute thinking the only problem was that I left the water on too long and it puddled up in the garden. She lead me outside to find that the fence had been knocked down by the combine coming through the yard! She watched it happen and it was TRAGIC! Come to find out that Marco...the driver... was paying too much attention to Madilyn and ended up running into the fence! Here are the results!
