I peed my pants a little . . .

Cinderella

Maddie is an observer. She loves to imitate and I have a feeling she'll be a little intense like her daddy. I am often wiping things down and moping floors. When you live in an apartment with all tile and 2 kids you mop . . . a lot.

Maddie is constantly pulling out baby wipes and dish cloths to clean up toys, floors and the nearest person. I caught her busy at work a couple of days ago.

She knows where I keep the dish cloths.

Busy at work.

San Diego - Part 1

Ameri and I got a call from our good friends Kevin and Lindsay telling us that they were going to be in San Diego for a wedding. We couldn't pass up the opportunity to go down and see them since they were so close. My sister Katie lives there too so we were able to have a relaxed weekend with some of our favorite people. We were talking about our visit after we got home and we realized how relaxing being around people who accept you as you are actually is. There was no pressure to impress or talk a certain way. It was great just to let our hair down and truly be ourselves!

Ameri randomly chose a restaurant to meet at and it just happened to be right across the street from the San Diego Temple. We figured since we were so close we should go and visit it!

Some of the gang.

We headed down to one of the beaches in La Jolla. Maddie loved the beach!!

Kite flying was one of the days activities.

By the end of the day Jackson had had enough of the sand!
