Madison Rose Gonzales

Madison Rose Gonzales was born on Thursday October 22, 2009 @ 12:20 A.M. in the Mountain View Hospital. She was in such a hurry to get here that I was only in labor for 7 hours before she was born.Compaired to Abby the was lightening speed! My sister Kristen and her boys had come to my house on Wednesday afternoon to hang out for the weekend before I had my baby.(I was not due until the 30th!) I was at a hair appointment a couple hours after they got here and bam I went into labor!(at least I had cute hair!) It worked out great since Abby didn't even need to leave the house to find a babysitter! We came home in the afternoon on Friday and had a whole houseful to welcome us home.It was great for Abby to have some kids to distract her from the new intruder! Now she is well aware and not happy about it! Here are some fun pictures of our new little Madison!(I took some of the pictures on my bed today!I am not a professional but they turned out pretty cute!) xoxo Lindz

What we have been up too!

So I really don't have any wonderfully exciting pictures to post so I guess I will post some pictures of our projects we have been working on lately. We have been busy getting ready for our new little one to arrive. Only 3 1/2 weeks left to go! I have really been into the "Nesting" phase lately. I am driving myself crazy trying to get my projects done before the baby arrives. Abby has been really cute lately playing with her Cabbage Patch Dolls. She calls them "BABY SISTER!" It is adorable! I had a little break from the family this weekend when Darren took Abby to Utah for Conference weekend and I stayed home. He FINALLY finished his moms bed that he has been working on for almost a year. Darren has been busy working full-time and going to school at night. I don't get to see him as much as I want to but that is the way things go sometimes! Enjoy some random pictures from the past month! xoxo Lindz

I learned how to can Peaches and Tomatoes last month! I feel so domestic!

The bed again! It is really amazing!

My cute Nativity blocks that I made for Abby to play with!

Oh No... I am all Wet!

Abby has been in love with showers lately so when she was outside and the sprinklers came on she had no problem jumping right in! It took her about five minutes to be completely soaked! When she realized she was all wet she just stood in the middle of the grass yelling I am all wet wanting one of us to go and get her. Finally she came back to the driveway shivering! If I would have known she was going to run through the sprinklers I would have gotten the soap and shampoo!

Hogle Zoo

Abby and I went with my mom, sister Brooke and sister Courtney to Hogle zoo last week. Abby had so much fun looking at all of animals and even had to go back for a second look at the Monkeys! She would grab my camera and tell me to "take a picture mommy!" I think her favorite part was the train ride around the zoo. It was a great little adventure that knocked her out for nap time! xoxo Lindz

Lake Powell

We went to Lake Powell this year at the end of July for family vacation. It was beautiful weather and the water was up about 20 ft from two years ago when we went. We had so much fun with Darren's family. Abby had fun playing in the water with her cousins and riding on the wave runners with daddy. She had some problems figuring out how to work the life jacket so she just held on to Daddy when it got to deep! Darren even convinced Abby to go off the house boat slide three times! Darren had a little to much fun on the wave runners and has a few big bruises to show for it! It was so nice to relax on the water!

4th of July

For the Fourth of July this year we had Darren's family come up to visit. On Friday we went boating at Ririe Res. Abby had so much fun going on the Wave Runners with her dad even if he did smack he head into the handlebars a couple of times. She learned to swim by herself with floaties while we were there. It was so much fun to watch her swim around. On The 4th we went to the park and then to the Idaho Falls Firework show . It was a great show and did not disappoint the Gonzales family! Abby had a lot of fun with the sparklers and watching the big fireworks. She covered her ears with my hands a couple of time when the fireworks got to loud! ( Notice I am not in any pictures like usual. That is what happens when you are the photographer!) xoxo Lindz Having fun swinging at the park!

Trip to New Mexico

So I did manage to finally update my blog with my latest pictures! Abby and I had so much fun visiting my parents in New Mexico. We usually only go to visit like once a year but this year we were lucky enough to get to go twice! The first pictures are the ones we got taken for Darren for Fathers Day! It was fun to get our pictures taken together! Abby's cheeks are all red because it was like 100 degrees while we were getting them done! The rest are pictures of her swimming in the pool. She was swimming like 90% of the time down there so that is an accurate view of the trip! xoxo Lindz

Popsicles work the best in a swimsuit!
