Christmas vs Halloween

So we wake up Christmas Morning and tell Madi that Santa had visited our house. We were so excited to see her reaction to Christmas morning. She came out to the front room where the presents and tree were and took one look at her presents and proceeded to tell us that she wanted to put on her kitty costume and go Trick Or Treating. We laughed and laughed. I guess she really really LOVED Halloween. You gotta LOVE it!!!

Underground Amazing Parking

The other day we went downtown to Olive Garden for their never ending pasta bowl...Yes folks it's that time of year again, The Never Ending Pasta Bowl. Yumm!!! Anyways Olive Garden is probably Madi's favorite restaurant in the whole world...even over other kids favorite, McDonalds. Alfredo and Bread Sticks are right up her alley.

Well when you go downtown the parking is limited so you have to park underground. We didn't even think about it when we were going to park but Madi had never been in an underground parking structure. She is saying the darndest things right now so our ears are keen as to everything she is saying.

So our car is super huge, a Ford Expedition EL, so we barely fit in this underground parking structure. When we get underground Madi's cute little mouth opens and says..."Wow, this is AMAZING!" How cute is that. To capture someones first experience of something is absolutely...AMAZING!!! Even if it is going underground for the first time.

Stop and think what amazing things you saw today and just ponder on them. Don't let life go by so fast that you don't find at least 1 thing amazing every day. This is my challenge to you...Find at least 1 thing that is amazing to you a day.

So, What did you find amazing today??? Leave me a comment as to what you found amazing today.

Have a great day!!! Thanks for stopping by.

That's AMAZING MOM!

This weekend we took Madi downtown on the train (Trax for those of you in Utah) because she has been begging us to take her down there everytime she sees a train. Now Dad doesn't like to ride Trax because one time he was on his way to a Jazz game and the Trax train broke down and he didn't make it to the game till 3rd quarter. He also says there are too many freaks on the train. I say what the hell..it's a night out and I get to do a lot of people watching (which I love to do...but who doesn't).

So we get on the train and Madi is loving it. She thinks she is in heaven. When we get a little close to town she startes noticing that the buildings are getting taller and taller. All of a sudden we get to this really tall building and she looks it up and down and out of her cute little mouth comes...

"Mama, That's AMAZING!"

I have no idea where that came from but she thought those buildings were AMAZING.

I absolutely LOVE watching her grow and wonder what is going on inside her cute little head. You never know whats coming out of her next...I'll keep you posted.

Uppie, Uppie - Kids say the darndest things!

So the other day my adorable little girl Madison who is 2 1/2 years old walked in on me getting dressed. At that point I was putting my bra on.

She looked at me and asked "Mama, what you doing?"

I said "I'm putting my bra on."

She looked with gazing eyes and said " You putting your bra on?"

I said "Ya."

She was watching me very intensely and was taking it all in. Just as I was pulling the straps up these cute little words came out of her cute little mouth..."Oh...Uppie, Uppie!" It wes as if she just got it...the bra puts the boobies up so their not a saggin. I was laughing so hard and said "Ya, I guess it puts them uppie uppie."

My 2 1/2 year old just pointed out the fact that my boobs were a saggin and it totally made my day. I must have one powerful bra. Thanks Madi for giving me a reality check every once and a while. Love ya girl!
