Hairbrushes in the dryer..

And golf balls in the trash can, shoes in the bath tub and passies in the toilet… Maddox walking has opened a whole new world of discovery and random objects in the weirdest places.. And I love it. Laundry suddenly became a lot funnier yesterday afternoon when I opened to dryer and my hairbrush was in there :)

we are still Internet-less but I just wanted to wish everyone a blessed Easter weekend! I am so thankful for this weekend and what it means. Thank you God for giving your only son. And thank you Jesus for sacrificing yourself so that we can live eternally with You! We are going to make some resurrection roles later today to celebrate the empty tomb! He is risen :) Happy Easter!

He’s officially walking!

So I know I said we were getting Internet like 2 weeks ago and we had an appointment and I gave them directions to my house and my phone number and everything… Annd then I got stood up. Not cool.. Anyways that’s my excuse for not blogging.. Still!

Just wanted to pop in and say though that Maddox is officially walking!! He still crawls some too but he walks a lot and is getting better and better every day :) it is seriously so so fun to watch him grow up right before my eyes! Like sooo fun! And this age… Yeah. Again, so fun :)

Here’s a little video of him walking from the beach last weekend.. He had just figured out how to stand up without pulling up on anything and I was so excited for him!! Way to go mads! So proud of you :)

caught up

We are getting internet tomorrow {hopefully!} I can’t wait! I plan to get you guys all “caught up” on the past two months of our lives, and show you around our new awesome house! We are LOVING it and it is sloooooowly coming together!

For now I’ll just tell you that Maddox is starting to walk a ton more and it is so fun to watch him get braver and braver with his attempts at walking over crawling! It makes me pretty stinking proud! Maddox has always loved being outside, but since we don’t have grass in the yard yet, when we do go outside the only things we can really do are go for a walk or swing on our yard swing. He LOVES the swing :) and we both love going out there after nap time… especially on these warm days we’ve been having!

I mean seriously…. He’s the cutest :)

hi!

So i know its been like a hundred years since I posted, but we have had a LOT going on. We were in Costa, then we came home and moved all our stuff into our new house {!!!!!!!!!}, then we had Christmas. We left the day after Christmas on an RV for Josh’s wedding in Kansas, which was followed by a New Year’s/Christmas celebration in Atlanta with my side of the family…  All of that in 17 days.. It was exhausting, and awesome all at the same time. And then a week after we got home Maddox turned ONE.. Holy cow. I have some suuuuper cute pictures of him on my camera from the month of December and Janaury {how on earth is it already the last day of January?!?!?!}, but have yet to put pictures from all said events onto this computer… I will eventually get there :) hopefully! For now I just wanted to say hi, and that we’re alive, and that we are hopefully getting internet in our new house really soon so I can get back on the blogging train again… And I’ll  leave you with this….

His newest favorite face :) Happy day before Friday!

una fiesta para los niños.

We went to a fiesta for little kids today and it was really fun. There was a moon bounce, chocolate fountain duck, duck, goose {pato, pato, ganzo}, Simon says, and face painting.. There were tons of kids there too who all loved playing with “Mox”. People here have a hard time saying Maddox so we have been telling them his name is Max, but it sounds more like Mox when they call his name..
Overall today was a great day! We were a little tired because our night was a little rougher than the first night. Maddox has figured out we’re all in the same room and doesn’t want to be in his pack n play by himself… It was pretty sad, but he figured it out eventually. We’re headed to the beach tomorrow until Wednesday! I’m excited, but Maddox has hated the bath these past couple weeks so I’m not so sure how he’s going to like the ocean.. I guess well see :) we won’t have any Internet at the beach so it will be Wednesday before we do any more instagrams or blog posts.. Here are a few photos from today!

We made it!!

We’re in Costa Rica! It’s so fun to be back! The last time we were here Justin and I had only been married for a few weeks… What a change a few years can make :) this place is so beautiful and gives me a nostalgic feeling I can’t really even describe..

Maddox did so well on the flight.. A little squirmy, and he ate a lot of puffs, but overall he was great!

He had an awesome night last night too. I was worried about the logistics of everything here but I definitely over prepared.. They had a carseat in the car they picked us up in and a pack n play set up when we got to the house last night.. I’m looking forward to our week here! It’s going to pretty low key and we have a trip to the beach where Justin proposed to me planned :) stay tuned.. I plan on blogging more about our costa adventures… Hasta luego!

eleven….

so i’m a week late on this post because my life is insane right now. we are leaving for Costa Rica the day after tomorrow {with maddox!}, packing up our house to move! as soon as possible, getting ready for Christmas, and then josh’s wedding on the 29th.. in kansas! my house kinda looks like a tornado blew through and brought with it a thousand travel sized items!!

anyways.. i have an 11 month old…. what?

maddox you are the best. i know every parent thinks that about their kid, but seriously you are the most delightful little person! i am so thankful for your giggles, your health, your curiosity, your face when you see Dexter {seriously y’all… THE cutest!}, your constant jabbering, your huge appetite, the way a ball is your favorite kind of toy, and how if you feel like it you can give the sweetest {and wettest} kisses :) Your daddy and I love you so much and have had the best time these past 11 months.

i mean for real, guys?!? look at those curls……

love you mads :)
