Every year we go to Tuacahn in St. George on the way to my parents house. This year we saw Cinderella. It wasn't my favorite, but we had a great time. We're just glad we made in time....Nate didn't even get to change! Thanks Aunt Jenn for watching Mads.


My parents have taken all the grand kids Geo-Caching for treasures. I had no idea what it even was until this summer. We headed towards the Grand Canyon for a good time. We were on all these dirt roads looking for our treasure. It's really fun! You need a GPS and then look on-line for the coordinates for the hidden treasures (mostly toys, but they got a $50 walkie talkie set) all over the U.S. You leave a surprise behind in the cache for the next person to find. If your interested get on-line and learn all about it. This is us wandering through the Arizona wilderness near the Grand Canyon. My parents have four Bichon Frise puppies right now and they were so adorable. We are teaching Maddy "soft" , but she hasn't quite grasped the concept! My Dad has had lots of medical problems the past two years with losing his 3rd kidney transplant. He's been back on dialysis which is extremely hard on the body, but the only way to live without another transplant. My mom has become his little nurse with home dialysis. They are my HEROES! We love you!

When we got home we let Maddy play around before we put her to bed. We've been practicing walking with her. She's been walking around the couch since she was 7 months old, but will only take a few steps on her own. She was clapping and doing the kissy fish while taking 7 steps!Maybe she'll walk before her birthday!
