Memorial Day Fun

We had such a fun weekend. Madeline played with daddy a lot.
She also played with her new doll house that we picked up for only a dollar at the church block party.
Then she helped mommy make cookies...
..and tested them for quality. It was her first chocolate chip cookie.
We went to a picnic with friends at Central Park to say goodbye to those who are graduating and leaving the city. Sniff, sniff.
Truman and Madeline were very intrigued by the Russell's little baby.
A few feet from our picnic was a Mexican folklore festival. It was very cool with a lot of traditional dancing and drumming.We topped the weekend off with a barbeque with friends on their fabulous Manhattan deck. Why are long weekends so short?

Lindsay was here!

We had such a blast having Lindsay here last week. Madi just loves "Zinzee". We're hoping she'll be moving here in the Fall for culinary school. For now she's off to be a river guide in the Grand Canyon.
Lindsay brought her BMX bike and had a great time at some NY BMX events. Here in the city people ride BMX bikes in DUMBO - Down Under the Manhattan Bridge Overpass. (Though, this photo was taken of her while she was in Australia.) Her bike was actually stolen while she was here. But, some famous bikers who organized the event hooked her up with a nice bike for free. Lindsay says that she is luckiest unlucky person!
I think we have a girly-girl on our hands. She asks for this tutu every 15 minutes so she can dance. The hat is her cousin Gwenny's that somehow made it in our suitcase from the Summer.
Velcro rollers kept Madi busy for at least 20 minutes. Which was great because our dishwasher broke this week and I needed her to be distracted.
Ever since her pal Truman gave her a hug and a kiss, Madi has been chasing down boys at the playground to give kisses to. Let's see....there's Wellesley....what are the other all girl schools?
But daddy is still her #1 guy!

Moms

Just a quick shout out to my two moms. I love this photo of my mom holding me when I was just a toddler. She had ten children and this only shows eight of us (and one exchange student). The oldest was on an LDS mission and the youngest wasn't born.
This photo was taken on my wedding day. It's a good reminder that I need to take more photos of mom and I together when I'm not wearing my wedding dress. I love you, Mom!

I also love my other mom, Cheryl. I would hang out with my mother-in-law even if we weren't related....she's just so fun. Here she is with her baby.
Here's my mom holding her first born....
...and me holding mine.
Madeline sends kisses to her two grandmother's today!

Wedding Day in Las Vegas

Wedding Day in Las Vegas
We were surprised to see our family and friends lined up outside the temple after we were married. It was a nice moment for us.
