MAddax at one month...he weighs 11.3 pounds and is 22.5 inches long. Which is weird because he feels WAY heavier than 11 pounds...obviously it is time to start hitting up the gym again...

Some of the uncles and grandpa from the blessing....:)

On Maddax's blessing day. He was such a good boy for his blessing day. It was AWESOME to have so much family come and love on him! Brent did an awesome job and it was just such a special day. Thank you soooo much everyone who went so far out their ways to come and spend time with MAddax on his special day...and thanks to everyone who attempted comming :) Dave we really appreciate you guys being so willing to come and are greatful you guys made it home safe- those roads were crazy!

With Grandpa :)

He lies like this sometimes when I change him and it makes me laugh really hard

Proof Maddax had hair before uncle Jordan held him....hahaha. Just kidding!! Maddax LOVED being held by Jord and Luce...he hates life without them...they were seriously so awesome with him. Luce was the baby whisperer...

MADDAX RILEY

We will add more later......here is a small little recap......

Pretty much Brents face ever since Maddax arrived...side note...Brent is the BEST daddy I have ever seen!!! So stinking cute to watch him with Maddax...he honestly is so amazing with him. I am so lucky to have him as a husband and the daddy of Maddax!!

PS. I LOVE this video.....bawl every time I watch it, but love the example of forgiveness

*we are FINALLY home for good!!! YEah!!! let the fun times begin!! :) We have had a crazy adventure of a summer and it is so great to be home!!

* Lana threw a SUPER cute baby shower for me the first part of September....she is so freaking cute! It was so nice of people to come and to see people I hadn't seen in a while and get some good advice!

* here are some pictures of the babies room....still a work in progress but everything should be in place by this saturday hopefully....I will post more pictures once we get the curtains up and all that stuff...the room colour turned out super cute!! Barb did such a great job painting it! We really appreciated her coming down to paint the room for us while Brent was away....as much as I love paint fumes we figured it would best for the baby to eat paint chips rather than inhale the fumes. ...

* Here is a picture of my belly for all those who really want to see that lovely site...haha. He is so stinking crazy!! I can't WAIT to see what this little guy looks like!!!
* This is my FIRST blanket ever!! Its just for the little bug but I definately need some more practice but it was a fun project during the summer up at barbs! She really did most of it lets be honest, I just tried to put it together....haha.

* Here is a sweet pic of Brent from our thanksgiving weekend in Calgary at Gabes birthday party

I realize I am not the most faithful blogger in the family, but Brent is trying to make me do it more often so even though this really doesn't do our summer justice, we are kinda up to date and can't wait to keep our blog more regular....does this promise sound familiar? hahaha hmmmm. apparently when you have kids you feel the need to share EVERYTHING with everyone about your kids so maybe this child will make us more regular bloggers....bet you can't wait to hear about baby poop and long nights :)

Sorry! Don't really know where to start with an update, but here are some pictures Tan took for us! This is what we look like at 8 months prego.

So Brent and I went to INCEPTION at the IMAX theatre and it was AWESOME!!! The best part was the baby LOVED the movie...everytime the bass was loud he would jump and do kart wheels and karate kicks and round houses......good times. It made the movie a lot more entertaining, but it was a really good movie....soundtrack is awesome too.....the end.

So moving on to the week at Bear Lake...It was me and Jord and Luce's year to plan the reunion so we decided to party it out at Bear Lake. It was sooooo AWEOSME so see everyone!! I hadn't seen a lot of the kids since our wedding almost TWO years ago!!! Way too long!!! The newbies made me laugh really hard!!! The last time I saw the three youngest they were just little guys and now they are CRAZY kids with hilarious personalities.
SOME of the many Highlights of Bear Lake for me were.....

1.Getting hit by Jord's plane going 80 miles an hour....hahahahahaha, my lawyers have the pictures for that one. I am now on the unfortunate list of people who will now duck everytime they hear a distant humming....old ladies in wheel chairs and Asians BEWARE, oh and now add pregnant ladies to the list. Love you Jord!!! :)

2. Getting stopped on the way down for an hour in BROWNING for parade that consisted mostly of indians riding horses...

3. Brooke Being Brooke...

4. Sam Being Sam....

5. Jordan and Jaxon wearing diapers........NO PICTURE!!! SO MAD!!! I was too busy laughing so hard I almost vomited

6. Mayor Max in Flip Flops....
7. Mayor Max driving the jet ski like a bat out of hell...

8. Marilyns amazing aerobic displays the whole way down...

9. Mal's modeling display

10. Pebbles....

11. The mouse that climbed into bed with me at 2:30 AM.....................

12. Ahhh I will have to continue this list later...too many good time and good memories!!! It was so awesome to get to spend time with such an AWESOME family!!! So sad Brent couldn't make it, but I figure this way he will be kept mysterious and likeable......if people really got to know him we might not get invited to future reunions.....actually his little dance may have been enough to get us uninvited from the next one.hahahaha. Anyways it was so fun to see everyone and so tramatic to say goodbye to everyone again!! I hate that part!!!! But hopefully we will get to see quite a bit of family again at Kates baptism...assuming they will allow blimps 8 months prego on the plane! :)

Ok we really are going to get better at this blogging...hopefully. Anyways news news news...not sure where to start, maybe with this....

Yes we are havinga BOY and a very modest one at that. The night before the ultrasound Brent coached him and told him to make sure he spread his legs so we would know for sure if he was a boy or not. Apparently he listens to his fathers valuable life lessons already. Ultrasounds have proved to be one of the more entertaining things I have ever experienced. By the end of the ultrasound I was crying, not because I was overcome with joy, but because I was laughing so hard. Possibly for several reasons. 1. I think we got the most intense technition known to man, she was caption intensity and I had to hold in laughter for most of the process and finally just let go at the end. Ex. To start the ultrasound she made me spit out my gum, oh and Brent had to spit out his gun too because she didn't want ANY distractions. 2. She was frustrated by how much the little guy was moving and she was very frustrated by the fact that the only picture she kept on clearly getting was the one you see above. I had to keep on apologizing for my son, I hope this is not a pattern for the rest of life....I would like to apologize for my son....... haha. Anyways the ultrasound made everything so real and was such an Awesome experience...Brent was so proud to have it be a little boy!! We are super excited and have now begun the painful process of selecting possible names....way harder than it was when I was little. I guess I could just listen to libbi and name him Aladin or Peter Pan or Prince Charming.

Brent interviewing Phil-keeper of the cup...yes that is Lord Stanley in the background....it will be on national tv this week sometime. hahaha.

So pretty sure we wish we could all be Lanny Mcdonald. He flew on one of Barbs flights lately and does he still rock the stash? Obviously....Brents goal is to grow a stash like that one day... so our childrent will know of his greatness.

NIAGRA FALLS- please note those birds calming sitting on the EDGE of the falls....either that is where all the thrill seeking birds hang out or the bird insane asylum for Canada is located....

THe guys playing football on turf....ouch!

I have always wanted one of these!! Seriously...that is one thing that I would LOVE to do one day!! Of course I would be pregnant when we lived in a place where it is EVERYWHERE!!

This is random dead? man we found lying in the park on the rock that is spray painted with the national time to smoke weed.......I did make sure he was at least breathing...just a crazy old man who likes to get his sunbathe on fully clothed.

o after scamming internet off our neighbors for a couple of months they finally cut us off...which has left us internetless...hence the lack of updated posts. Anyways these pictures sum of the month of February pretty much. We went snowboarding at COP and Brent did AWESOME for his real first time...by the end of the day we were both going off jumps and having a TUN of fun. The only time Brent fell hard was when attempting to get onto the chairlift. haha. Willing to say in all of my years of snowboarding I have NEVER seen anyone fall trying to get onto the chair lift in such a way. It was very bizarre and HILARIOUS. I love him so much. haha.

Anyways we went snowboarding in Bozeman with Caleb and Mala and Ed and they totally showed us up! They were having to wait for us....those kids seriously can tear up the mountain. It was a lot of fun!!!

We LOVED being there for Sarahs recital...still talk about how AMAZING it was! I am so lucky to have such an AWESOME sister!! That recital was out of control! We had SOOO much fun in Bozeman and can't wait to go back sometime soon and hang out with all the sophisticated people who live there. One of the highlights was Mala dancing to some techno beats at a pretty trendy restraunt. :)

I am still mourning the end of the Olympics. I LOVED the olympics so much. I cried through a lot of it...oh the humanity!! I was probably the proudest to be Canadian I have ever been and LOVED every minute of it.

I gotta run, but one day we will have internet again........

WAWAWA

Soooo thanks to John and Tanis having to be so creative and print off that darn book- Brent has insisted that I do a blog to keep a journal for us. Thanks a lot John and Tanis- I now have to try to be cute on a weekly basis. Son of a.

This past week was super fun! We went up to the baby blessing of Marilyn and had a tun of fun! Barb and I went and saw Ben and Kats new house with them and LOVED it!! It was AWESOME!! I can't wait to party there! I get super happy looking at show homes so after that Barb and I looked at about eight other show homes. Good times. It made me want to become an interior designer. So many cute ideas. After that we went to IKEA and had a hay day buying things for our house. Salam for IKEA. Meanwhile Brent was in Vernon working- hence the all day shopping plans while he was gone. Salam for my Visa.

Lately I don't see much of Bient. He is in school full time and working full time to get an office together. He is doing an awesome job and things are going awesome- it just takes a lot of time....and unfortunately I really don't see him. Good thing we have an arts and crafts room in our house. Hopefully it won't take him another six years to graduate :)

I am still just dealing drugs...good times. I have developed a pretty good compilation of funny stories from the drug world...Im sure Ammon and I could write a pretty funny book.

Anyways this is my first ghetto post in a while- hopefully I will get better at this thing.
