Madi's Blessing

Madi was blessed on Sunday, July 25, 2010. She looked absolutely beautiful, the blessing was wonderful, and the day couldn't have been a more perfect day. We are so grateful for the love and support from family and friends. The spirit was so strong as Madi was blessed, I don't think I will forget the feeling that I had anytime soon. It is such a huge blessing to be able to have the knowledge of the gospel in our lives, and what that knowledge means to each of us individually. My hope is that as we continue to raise our two beautiful girls, and our other children as they come, that we will be able to instill in them the knowledge and understanding that they truly are children of our Heavenly Father, with unlimited potential. Being a parent is not easy, but we have a perfect example to look to.
Here are a few pictures for your enjoyment-

WE LOVE YOU MADI!

By the way...

So, I must explain the bow in Madi's hair. I think it's adorable, and huge. The nurse that we had the day Madi was born was known for her bows, and the largeness of them. Being that Madi was born on Flag Day, she was given a patriotic bow, which was also the colors of the highschool that our nurse went to. The nurse was super peppy and a lot of fun. So, that is how Madi ended up with her ginormous bow. Also, to keep the bow on, in that hospital they used GLUESTICK! Yucko. They told us it would come off with "a little soapy water." Ha! Not true. To even get the bow to budge we had to run warm water over her hair for about ten minutes. Unbelievable! Moral of the story, don't trust nurses who have a bow fettish with a gluestick, a bow, and your daughter.

Just a few pics...

Here are a few pictures of our cute little family. So sorry it has taken so long to add some more phot's, thanks for your patience.

Happy Birthday Isaac!

Today, meaning July 7th, is Isaac's birthday. I just wanted to take a moment and wish the most wonderful man in the entire world a very HAPPY BIRTHDAY! I am so lucky to be married to such a wonderful person, and our girls are so lucky to have such a wonderful Daddy. Thank you Isaac so much for all you do for our family, and for your wonderful example. I hope this day is the best, and that you have many wonderful days to follow. We love you tons!

Welcome to the Family Madi!

She's here! Madilyn Marie Knight was born Monday, June 14th 2010 at 9:50am. She weighed in at 8lbs 12oz and 21 inches long. She has a lot of light brown/ blonde hair, and we love her soooo much! Here are some pictures of our little Flag Day baby-

Outside

It is not uncommon to hear Gabi say, "Shoes on," shortly followed by, "Outside." She is definitely our outdoor girl, thriving on smelling flowers that are so, "pretty," and picking, "strawberries," and getting dirt on her, "toes." She has become quite the talker, and amazes us everyday with her new words. She has been her grandma's buddy this last week, helping her out anyway she can. As soon as the door opens, she is right there ready to go. She must have gotten this from Isaac, I'll have to ask his mom- because, like I said in my previous post, I am not like that. :) I love my little outdoor girl!

Playing with the hose while I water the dry parts of our grass- she loves water!

Thanks Mom!

My mom has been here for the last week and a half keeping me company, doing everything, and baby waiting with me. The doctors keep telling us "any day now, but it might not be until your due date." What's that supposed to mean besides me waking up everyday thinking, I sure hope it's today! My mom has helped keep me sane and keep my mind off of not having a baby yet. She has also been transforming our yard. She's amazing. I am NOT a dig in the dirt kind of a girl, so yard work and gardening definitely take a backseat. She has been out there almost everyday pulling weeds, beautifying our yard, and getting our little garden area ready for planting. I know to her it doesn't seem like a big deal because she likes that kind of thing, but I am SO appreciative, words cannot express. So, thank you mom for all you do!
