Yes We Can!

So I have not posted for a while. Really trying to get back into the grove of things after the holidays. (Ya, I know it's almost February) However just wanted to make a note of how proud I was today to be an American. The inauguration of Obama today was something that I will not forget. How amazing it was to see millions of people gather and be a part of history. Not trying to push my political views on anyone. That is what makes our country so great! I truly believe that no matter what political party, race or religion you may be, today was a celebration of all of us!

Zuit Suit Riot

Last night we attended my work's annual holiday party. This year was a casino theme. So, Ry & I dressed up in the old rat pack era. We had a BLAST! We only wish that all the money Ry won last night would have been real! It was our official first date since we had Madi. We really need to do it more often :)

The Christmas Dress...

Hooray for Christmas!! I LOVE this time of year. Some might say I go a little overboard with the holiday (my husband) but, oh well. And now, with having Madi, I have an excuse for watching all those holiday cartoons and movies :)) Ryan & I spent the day yesterday putting up the Christmas tree and decorations. Mad's loves the lights and the cat loves the tree. Kitty has yet to tip the tree over yet, but I know it is coming. So today I thought I would put Madi in her Christmas dress and take some pics by the tree. Let's just say she was NOT having it! I started to get a little frustrated looking through the pictures, not really having one good one. And then I realized the results are hilarious! I didn't get my perfect picture, but I did get a great memory :) After all, that is what this time of year is all about right?

Growing Girl

Sorry it has been such a long time. Life has been crazy! Here as some pics of our growing baby Madi :) She is a little over 5 months. I can't believe how fast she changes! She's rolling over and is soooo much fun! I never knew life could be this great!

St. George Getaway

We decided to make a quick weekend getaway to visit Ryan's parents in St. George this past weekend. Mom & Dad have a BEAUTIFUL new home with a swimming pool :) Madi had her first swim. She loved it. She also got to meet Great Grandma Morgan for the first time and many of her cousins, aunts and uncles. Thanks to Mom & Dad for letting us barge in and stay. We really needed the R & R :))

Back to Work :(

Well my 12 weeks of maternity leave are almost up. I return to work on Thursday. I have cried every day for about a week now. It's been such a different range of emotions lately. I am excited to get back to work. Just to have a little structure in my life again and be able to get out of pj's and shower each day! But my baby girl.... uhhhh why is is that we mothers think that there is not another person in the world that could possibly know how to care for you child but you? I know that this will be much harder on me than it will be on her but, I still can't wonder if I am doing the right thing? I can't win really. I feel guilty for going to work. But I think I would go crazy being home. Plenty of women do this. I can right?

"Wii" are Family

We went up home yesterday to visit with the family to celebrate Isaac's return from his mission yesterday. The entire family was there and we had a blast. The Wii was very entertaining. Boxing in particular. I am still sore as of this morning from my endless rounds with Dan! :) Isaac just jumped right back into family life. Playing cards, Risk and Wii. Who knew a RM could box so well?...
