Temple Lights

This was the second time we have gone downtown and watched them turn on the Christmas Lights. It was cold cold colder than last year but with my family there it was extra special. Kyle slept thru the whole thing which was good cause that way he stayed nice and warm.
Levi had a fascination with the bagpipe player so we took a picture with him but Levi was not to sure about being that close to him. The look Levi was giving him was so funny.

Family Visit

My mom got to come spend 10 days with us. It was WONDERFUL. I felt like I was on vacation. She did all the cooking and cleaning. She should really visit more often.

Auntie M came and Levi could not have been happier. She gave him a present that were these little pills you stick in water and the grow. Levi thought it was the coolest thing

Auntie M also made this wonderful blanket for Kyle. Its a beautiful blanket and she did a wonderful job.

Thanksgiving

This year my sister Amy, her husband Jeff and my mom were all here to spend Thanksgiving with us. My dad had to work. We made pies and sweet potatoes than took them over to Jeremys dads house were we all had a big dinner. It was a great day. The food was amazing. Levi helped make the pumpkin pie and it had to be one of the best pies that I have had.

Blessing Day

On Sunday the 29th we gave Kyle David Madsen his name and a blessing. It was a really special day. Jeremy did a great job giving the blessing. My Dad, Jeremys Dad, my brother in law Jeff, our friends Cory and Keith and Bishop Fellows all stood in the circle for the blessing.
We than had our family and friends over for a light lunch.
Grandma Madsen was admitted into the hospital this weekend cause her heart rate was so low that she passed out. So Sunday night Jeremy and I left the boys with my mom and sister and went to visit her. Jeremy helped his dad give her a blessing. Jeremy and his dad got to bless the youngest and the oldest Madsen in the same day. Grandma Madsen is doing better. She got a pacemaker yesterday and we hope that she is on the road to recovery.

Thanksgiving

We had a wonderful Thanksgiving holiday. I was busy with my family visiting and we did so much fun stuff while they were here. Today they are all gone and its just our family again. I miss them.
I have a bunch of pictures from the last week and will post them when I have more time.

Outting

Today I showered and got dressed and got both boys dressed and we were out of the house but 10:20am. We had lunch at Chick-fil-A with a friend of mine. Chick has Levis favorite play land and free ice cream with the kids meal so it makes it one of my favorite places to go. It was so nice to be out of the house. Than we stopped at Target to get some breast milk storage containers and on the way out Levi wanted a little toy that they put at the check stand just to drive us moms all a little more crazy so I said pick one and he said no three and grabed three I said no one. Than the battle started. I had to pry them all out of his hand and than after telling him to pick one or he wasnt getting any and he still didnt pick one I had to pick him up under my arm like a sack of potatoes and drag him kicking and screaming out of Target with no toy. Welcome to motherhood of two!! Some lady looked at us and said "I have been there before a million times" as Levi is on the ground next to the van in the parking lot screaming. I guess this is why I waited to long to take both boys out by myself. Levi has been cooped up in the house with us a little to long and has forgotten how to act in public.
My mom comes in tomorrow morning and I cant wait. It will be nice to have some help.

Dads Visit

This weekend my Dad came to visit. It was so good to see him. He got here Saturday morning right before it started snowing. Jeremy, Levi and my Dad cut down 5 of the 8 trees in the yard that we are getting rid of. Than it snowed like crazy while we all took a nap.
When we woke up there was enough snow for a snow man so Dad, Levi and I went out to build a snow man. I did not have any gloves on and about 5 minutes out my hands were cold and I shook them to get the snow off and I felt my wedding ring fly off my finger. So I panic. My wedding ring is missing under 4 inches of snow. So I get the hose and my dad and I start melting the snow away with the water. About 10 minutes of that my did finds one part of the ring. It has two parts to it that interlock and they must of come apart. We we spend the next hour melting the snow looking for the other half. We froze out there with the snow pouring on us and dealing with the water. So we come inside to get to warm. My dad says we should get a metal detector and just return it when we are done. So Jer and him head out to Big 5 and pick up a metal detector. They got home just as it was starting to get dark. So they set the thing up and about 3 minutes out in the yard the find the ring!! I was so happy. It was about a foot away from where found the first half but it was hiding under some weeds and leaves. So we took the the metal dectector back and than went out to dinner.
Today we went to church and than my dad went home.
It was great to see my dad. We had a real nice time.

Check up

We had Levis 3 year doctor appointment today and Kyles two week. Levi is 31 lbs, and 36.5 inches long. Hes doing great and is healthy.
Kyle is 9 lbs 9 oz and 21.5 inches and also doing great.
Levi got his H1N1 shot while we were there and it was so traumatic for him. He was so sad. Jeremy was with me so he held him down. The rest of the evening all Levi could talk about was the shot.

We are all doing great

We are all doing great. I am learning how to be a mother of two. Jeremy has been such a big help that when he goes to work I really miss him, but we are all still alive.
Kyles favorite place to sleep is on one of our chests.
Levi tells me almost everyday that Auntie M and Kuncle Jeffy (he cant say uncle so it sounds like uncle with a K) are coming to Levi house. They are coming for Thanksgiving but Levi thinks they will be here any minute. Any time some one comes to the house he thinks its my sister. Its cute. Than he lets me that they are going to have a snow bob fight (he means snowball) I think it is so funny. I hope we have some snow for Thanksgiving.

Mom

Jeremy went back to work today and my mom left this evening. I already miss my mom. She was the biggest help. It was so nice to have her here. She stocked me up on meals in the freezer meals and did everything around the house for a week. Levi loves her so much and he was really sad that she had to go home. He kept saying that he was going to California with her.
So with my mom gone that means tomorrow will be my first day by myself with two children. I hope it goes well. Levi is a little under the weather so I hope hes not to grumpy.
