CRAWLING!!!!...............Sort Of

As many of you know Madalynn has been very content to sit where she is put and spin around on her bum to she what is going on around her. She finally has started a sort of crawl, I hope you can tell from the pictures the funny position she is in. She always has to have the right leg curled in front of her and the left leg in the normal crawling position it is hilarious to watch her do. James was very happy he was here when she did it for the 1st time!

Olivia is 8!!!!!

Saturday afternoon after her baptism Olivia had a birthday party and invited some friends from church. We went to a place called Jump On It a very fun place with a ton of trampolines and some of them were even at an angle up the wall. We then went back to the church and had cake and ice cream and opened presents. She was very excited about all her gifts but most of all she loved her I-Dog, if you hear music moving around the house you know she is walking around listening to it. I have never been so tired after that saturday, but it was a lot of fun.

Olivia's Baptism!!!

Saturday was such a wonderful day! Olivia got baptized on Saturday morning by her dad and her friend, Katie also got baptized with her. It was a very special day to see her go into the water and come up clean and the newest member of the church for a moment. It was a very proud moment for James and I. She looked very pretty in her white dress that Grandmother Chadwick made for James' sister to be baptized in. She was so excited for Saturday to come.

Halloween!!!

We have had a very busy weekend, it all started with Halloween. Olivia had a parade at her school and James flew in super early to be there for it. We then went to Del Sol for a halloween lunch party, the kids had so much fun. At the party I got the only picture of Madalynn in her costume (that I took, someone at Heather's work got one of us with all the kids from Del Sol) it is a very funny picture of her! Then we came home and relaxed for awhile then went trick-or-treating at the rehab center where Dad is, the kids love seeing grandpa. We then went to the mall and saw Ashley and trick-or-treated a little bit there. Then got home and trick-or-treated some more in our neighborhood. Olivia didn't want to stop, but Will started dragging at the end. Will wanted to be called Will-Dash all night and we had a lot of people tell us Olivia was the perfect Violet, Aunt Heather REALLY wanted her to be Violet and we are glad she did choose it. They all looked so cute and had tons of fun!!!
