First Priority Mail

Grandma Bryson sent us a package and Maddi was so excited with the box! We almost packed her up and sent her to Utah! She had tons of fun playing in the box for quite a while.

Some much needed advice

Ok, so I need some help! I look at all these women around me, and I am in awe. They are so strong and independent. Since having my little girl, whom I love by the way, I have begun to struggle. I look at these women who can go days without their husband, balance all their children and still have a successful career, beautiful home, and seem to never stop smiling. I ask myself, did I not get the memo? I watched my neighbor the other day load up her three little boys, jump on the four wheeler, pack up a wheelbarrow on the back along with some tomato cages, and pack it all home by herself! HOW? I cannot mow the lawn, clean the house, bring home a paycheck, do the dishes, and watch my daughter in a day by myself without breaking a sweat or starting to cry. I tell you that I am weak! I can't even take a shower that lasts more than 5 minutes without help from my husband to watch the baby! And to top it all off, women have to take care of our husbands! Please tell me you strong women of the world how do you do it all without going crazy? How do you stay smiling and so kind to others? Is there a class I need to take? Please help.

Family Pictures

Yesterday Grandpa Wray helped us take some family pictures. They turned out really nice, and of course Madelyn is beautiful!

Our Trip

So Tyler had to go out of town for two weeks, and left me and Madelyn alone in lonely Idaho. So I decided to jump ship and go to Utah to be with my family while he was away. While we were there Madelyn decided that she would start sitting by herself, as well as to start crawling. It was fun, but sad that Daddy had to miss it all. It was really nice to see my friends and family again, but as always it was wonderful to see Tyler again and come back home.


Madelyn loved to play with my parents card can while the rest of us played games.

One day Madelyn decided that she would dump her sweet potatoes all over herself and play in them instead of eating them. She thought it was so funny!

Bad Hair Day

Like Father like Daughter! You can see where she gets her hair from!
