Some Summer Fun Times

Maddie and her best bud/cousin Emma.



Picking grapes and berries with Grandpa Stucki in Utah.



What I saw every single evening after dinner during our week vacation in Newport. (They are the cutest.)



Josh is determined to make Maddie enjoy baseball and takes her to the batting cages with him. (She is a good sport.)



You can usually find Maddie in her "Art Room," or as she calls it, her "office," in the little room under the stairs.



Maddie is taking computer classes at her preschool and her favorite thing to do is play computer games now.



With Dad Josh while hiking in Red Rock Canyon (just up the street from our house).



With Aunt "Gi" (a.k.a. Juli Harris) in Red Rock Canyon.



Slip and sliding in Vernal with the cousins.



This picture shows how Maddie set up her Barbies. She said they were doing the yoga move "downward dog" and working out! I have been trying to work out more often and doing more Yoga and Pilates, and apparently Maddie's Barbies are trying to lose their love handles too!



Maddie and Josh "grocery shopping" at the Las Vegas Lied Children's Discovery Museum. She never wanted to leave this part of the museum. (Which is exactly like her mom. This was my favorite part too about 15 years ago.)



Maddie "performing" on the stage with her dad Josh directing her at the museum. (Nobody was watching, but she still had stage fright.)



Maddie was singing at the top of her lungs to "Part of Your World" from Ariel. Her voice was on loud speaker over all of the second floor at the museum. She was quite a hit.



I bought this train set a long time ago when I was trying to buy politically correct toys (no gender bias in my house!) Maddie had not been the least bit interested in this until recently. Now she builds the train tracks all over my kitchen floor in the weirdest patterns.
