She's Here!

Ambrie Jo Harris was born April 9th
She weighed 7lbs. 9oz.


Coming home from the hospital

The new big brother. He is so sweet with her and loves kissing, holding and looking at her sleep.
Right at the beginning he struggled with not having all the attention but now he loves her so much. When he hears her crying he always says "It's okay Baby Ambrie" and he also tries to give her the paci and sing to her when she's sad.

The whole family

She came home a perfect and healthy little girl. She has a little acid reflux which caused her to gain weight slowly at the beginning and she spits up constantly but other then that she is as sweet as they come! We love you baby girl!

Day at the LA Zoo!!

Over Christmas we had the opportunity to go to the LA Zoo for the day with Grandma Harris, Aunt Taryn, and his cousins Nate and Macy.

Maddux LOVED seeing all the animals up close and being out in the sunshine! It was such a fun day! I wish we lived closer to a zoo so we could go more often!

Maddux is TWO!!

On Maddux's birthday, after opening gifts first thing in the morning Greg and I took him out to breakfast to celebrate!

We even let him sit next to Greg like a real big boy would...which resulted in a very wiggly meal!

He picked out the smiley face pancake with "nanas", "ice cream" and "staberry" on it!

After breakfast we took him to pick out a new "big boy" bed and then finished the morning at the park even though there was snow

I didn't get any pictures but that night we all went to a SUU basketball game ...which he thought it was really fun.
Happy Birthday Sweetheart! You have made the last two years an amazing adventure. I feel so lucky to be your Mom!

Halloween Fun!

This year Halloween was so much fun! Maddux LOVED everything about it. He loved wearing his costume, he loved going trick or treating and actually understood what it was all about, he loved getting candy in his bucket and love helping us answer the door to pass out candy to other kids in costume! We had so much fun and seeing how much he loved everything made Greg and I so excited to see him discover all the festivites in the upcoming months! We really can't imagine life without him around..he makes holidays seem magical again! Here is a little video of some pictures and videos of Halloween 2009!

The Many Faces of Maddux

Maddux 's new favorite thing is to bring me the camera and then he says "cheese"...meaning, that he wants me to take pictures of him.

The funny thing is that he makes all these crazy faces, wants to see what they look like on the camera, then he laughs at himself and wants to do more.

The problem is that I can't get a decent smile out of him anymore! So frustrating. I try to tell him to just smile normal but he squints his eyes...says CHEESE...and does this silly grin! It is hilarious.

I hope it's just a phase because he really does have a super cute and normal looking smile.

A Day at the Lake

Our friends, the Almonds, invited us to the lake last weekend to hang on their boat for the day! It was beautiful outside, except for the wind, but we had so much fun! Maddux loves being anywhere near water and is almost too brave. He wants to do everything by himself even though he can't and gets frustrated when we won't let him. Greg was able to wake board and wake surf while I just soaked up the rays and swam a little. Here are a few pics of our day...for video of Greg surfing and wakeboarding you'll have to check out our Maddux videos blog.

Girls Day

I recently went to Las Vegas to have a spa day with my Mom and two of my sisters. It was so much fun! I took Maddux down and my Dad spent the day with him while us girls went to the spa to work out, swim, and get massages and then we went out to eat after. It was nice to be able to relax before I head back to school...and Maddux loved hanging out with Grandpa for the day!

Here we are ready for our workouts!
