Question?

How do I set up my side bar so I can see when my friends have created a new post on their blog? I am feeling a little slow because I can usually figure these things out, but I can't figure this one out....I'm such a loser! HELP!

Props to the husband!

Ok, so I ordered these curtains a few weeks back, and we love them, but they were missing a little something. Tyler thought of the idea to tie them back, so we bought ties and love the look. Then, tonight I came home from school, and he had draped the curtains with this cream swag his sister gave us a while back. I was like, "WOW honey, did you think of that all by yourself?!" I think it looks really good. Who knew my husband had a designer side?! I am seriously impressed!

Christmas shopping....

WISH LIST!! I love it all!

These under shirts can be found at http://www.putsomethingon.com/. $40 for a 3 pack.

This dress says "simple perfection," and that's what I love about it! I know, I have an obsession with black...it's a problem!

I have had my eye on these for a few months now. I want them in black!

This jacket is on sale for $99 - that's a good price!!

Sexy gladiator sandal heels...love em'!

pretty much everything on my list can be found at http://www.victoriasecret.com/ I love these UGG boots, but they are $200...yikes!! If I could afford it, I would buy them in camel and in black!!

Quotes of the week!!

Madison had a few good ones this week, so I thought I would blog about it for journal keeping purposes, but also for your entertainment!!

Road rage moment. "Whoa guy, slow down!!" This said after a driver sped up and cut us off.

Another road rage moment: "Go lady, GOOOSH!!" This said after the lady in front of me sat at a green light!

Madison to mom: "You are seriously bugging me!"

Madison talking about her toy: "Goosh, stupid thing!" Followed by, "we don't say stupid, huh mom?!" Well, at least I know she gets it, so time out is fair game!

Just a few classic expressions from my 2 year old!! It's a good thing I don't use naughty language!! OK, so I say oh crap a lot, but we have worked on it, and Madison no longer uses this expression...lol!! : )

A haircut, a dancing/singing 2 yr. old, and Lovell Canyon

Do you think that someday Madison will be mad at me for posting all these nostril pics...lol?!!

Ok, so you might remember the pics I posted of Madison's first haircut a few months back at the salon. Well, we didn't quite take enough off - something about her paranoid mom...anyways! So, I bought a pair of scissors, and cut another inch or so off myself. Lets just say that I was bribing her with candy and stuff the whole time because she decided she did NOT want to sit still for me. She really is a stinker!!


She sat still for a minute, and I just went for it. I am sure that this cut would not pass the Paul Mitchell hair salon standards, but it definitely passes for Supercuts!! :) Hey, it's all about saving a buck or two, and this saved us 10!!


OMG, WHOSE CHILD IS THIS? This is just so SAD...lol!! Last week, Madison woke up, put on her socks and new shoes, and this is what she said as she walked down the hall, "hey mom, I'm ready to go walking!" I just started laughing hysterically!!


This is her dancing and singing in her nerdy, orphan outfit!! She was singing, "I wanna get physical!" Isn't that a Jane Fonda song?! It was the first song that popped into my head when I saw her like this. All she needs now is a headband and a leotard...lol!!


This is her singing like Hantana (Hanna Montana....she calls her Hantana)! She decided to use my suitcase as her stage! She can really belt it out!!

Our ward camp out! The Turkey Shoot out at Lovell Canyon!

This is Caroline with her new puppy Lilly getting ready to shoot!!


This is Madison wearing my sunglasses because the sun was hurting her eyes.


This is Madison in the car with her ear protection, because she did not want to be outside anymore.


Our little stinker butt, hiding out!!

ROCK THE VOTE!

Today I exercised my right to vote, and it felt great! As I left, I walked by a young girl who said, "thank you for voting." I replied, "thank you to you too!" As I continued on my way I heard her shout, "did you Ba-rock the vote?" I turned and said, "excuse me?" She repeated herself, did you Ba-rock the vote?" I replied simply, "NO, I ROCKED the vote, and I voted for McCain!" She replied with, "oh, OK!" Ha, I think I was as stunned by her question as she was by my answer! Have any of you heard this clever little question?

Trick or Treat!!

Official Halloween trick or treat night!! Madison loved getting candy, and asks everyday, "can we go trick or treating today?" I guess I can't blame her for thinking that, considering we have been 3 times in a 1 week period!! She also asks if we can go to Disneyland almost everyday since we first went 3 weeks back. I guess we might need to invest in some season passes!! Now I just have to train her to ask her dad in the cutest way possible, so he can't say no...lol!

Scary faces...Madison loves to make this face! Mom looks seriously scary!! I almost didn't post it because I look so scary, but I decided to be brave! :)

Just me and my dad!

Thanks to Bethany and Grandma, we got a cute little smile out of Madison.

Grandpa Richard and Madison trick or treating!

Oops, I posted this pic twice...it must be cute! :)

Look at my little girl trick or treating like a big girl! Ha, just after this pic was taken, she ran to dad and asked him to hold her because she got scared! She does NOT like masks, and anyone wearing one was SO NOT her friend last night!

Poor Alexa had the flu last night, but she still was a trooper and went out trick or treating!

Aunt Brook's house! Brook was dressed as a cheerleader, and she was one HOT cheerleader!!

PHEW...Madison was pooped after trick or treating 15 houses...she needed a break!! This is her kickin' it on Grandma and Grandpa's bed watching toons! :)
