Maddie's Blessing Day

We had Maddie blessed today and it went really well. We actually didn't mean to match as a family but it's pretty funny that we did! Most of our family was able to come and it turned out to be a really special day. I am so thankful for such a beautiful family and for a husband who has the priesthood to be able to bless our children.

Summer Fun!

We have really tried to make an extra effort to do some things with Emma this summer. She has had so much fun! We bought her a cheap $10 pool and she has loved splashing around in it. We have also taken her to the park and just had a good time! We love our little girls!

More Pics of Maddie!

She is just too cute not to share with you. Don't you just love sleeping babies? So far she is an amazing baby who just does the normal baby things......minus the intense spitting up. But we'll take that over the crying we had with Emma!

Madison Brooklynn Bock

Announcing the arrival of our beautiful Madison Brooklynn Bock! We had a c-section scheduled for June 17th at 11:00 am and it couldn't have gone better. My last c-section did not go so well so I was a little nervous but it went as good as it could have gone. They had me ready to go by 11:30 and Maddie was out at 11:43 am. She weighed 8 lbs 5 ounces, was 20 inches long and only had 10 toes. (For those of you who don't know, Emma was born with 12!) I guess I can thank Jacob for such big babies since Emma was 1 ounce more! We stayed in the hospital for only two days and we have now been home enjoying life with two daughters. Jacob has been an amazing husband taking care of all three of us and I get to enjoy another week with him still! We are so thankful for our beautiful girls! (On a sidenote, I know I look like trash in the one pic I am in but it was our first family pic and only 5 hours after I got out of surgery so cut me some slack!!)

Fun in the Sun!

Floating around with Daddy.

Love that face!
Having fun in the pool!
So adorable just floating around!!

You can't go through summer without enjoying some time in Grandma's pool! It was a lot of fun this year with Emma because she would actually play in the water! She had her own little floaty that she used to float around with and would even jump off the edge to Daddy. We enjoyed this time with her before little Maddie arrives. (Hence....no pictures of mommy because she was nine months pregnant and no longer fit into a maternity bathing suit!)

Maddie's Baby Shower

The party guests.
Lots of presents!
Adorable blankets were aplenty!
Relay race....you had to be there!
Egg Hunt....so funny!


My sister MaryBeth threw me an awesome baby shower! There was yummy food, an egg hunt, and a relay race with a quarter between the knees! It doesn't get any better than this! I loved all of the presents and was so thankful for everyone that came and showed their support for our new little one's pending arrival!

Maddie's Room

Well, we finally finished Maddie's room! Thanks to Jacob who thought of everything and then did everything. A lot of good pregnant mommy does!! We absolutely love her room and the way everything turned out!
