A walking baby, Temple Square, and a tag

Oh my gosh, I can't believe that I STILL haven't posted about Madelyn walking! I am the worst Mother, ever! She walked a month ago, but she is such a silly little girl, she will walk a bunch for a while and then the next day she will act like she can't walk because she is scared. We lost the cord to the video camera so I filmed it on my camera, but the format it is on doesn't work here so maybe someday I will post it if I can ever figure the blasted thing out! Here's a cute picture until I can get that worked out.

This is her favorite cupboard to play in.

We decided to go up to Temple Square to see the lights on Saturday. It was a little nuts, since it was the 1st weekend that they were on, but it was still great to get out and see them. Sienna said she hadn't ever been there before, but it hasn't been that long! We are just making an effort to get out and enjoy all the wonderful things that are in this area, since we don't know how long we will be here. There are so many things that we have taken for granted.


This one is a little nuts, but I thought it was cool so I had to post it.

You guys are such a cute family! Glad you guys had fun at Temple Square...its been FOREVER since I have been there...well, when I lived there in 9th grade...lol.

Hey...how do you like your sling? I am thinking about getting one...looks a lot easier than a stroller.

Lateshia said...

Yeah...we took the kids to the mall the other day...two strollers and a walking child...YEAH RIGHT!!! Never again. So...where do you get your slings? I am thinking I may get one for my Christmas present to myself...hee hee.

Hopefully we'll be able to take our kids to Temple Square to see the lights before they leave home...:)

Great pictures at the temple.

Have fun with the walking...it's always interesting to see the things they get into after that.

You are beautimous! What a great photo of your family! Just so you know, on 12/22/06 we took that same family shot at Temple Square, not knowing that on 12/22/07 a new daughter would be born into our family. I'm just sayin'.

I would love to know how you have loved your sling. Send me an e-mail with your review. :)
