Daddy-Maddie Time

Two of my most favorite people. My cute husband Brandon, and our cute 4 year old "Spanish" daughter Maddie (referring to prior blog entry). Daddy took Maddie to a wedding reception of a friend at work. They had a little photo booth there, and they were able to take these pics. How cute are they? Love these two little sweet peas.

"I am Spanish"

Maddie is in a fun stage right now. She will go up to anyone; random strangers at the grocery store, kids at the park, and make her cultural announcement. "I am Spanish." I am happy that we are making progress in cultural identification. About 6 months ago, I overheard her telling someone, "I am Chinese." After hearing that, I decided we better work on this. Well, we have been WILDLY successful. Maybe too successful, as she now is very aware of culture, and also enjoys identifying other people's culture. When she sees Spanish people, she likes to go up to them and tell them, "You are Spanish." We are still working at identification. I will just leave it at that. It's not so fun when she goes up and identifies people as the wrong nationality. And try to argue with a four year old that perhaps she is wrong. Doesn't work out too well. Yep, we are having some fun parent moments right now. So, don't be surprised if she plays "What culture are they" with you. And I just hope she gets it right for all our sakes. Anyway.......

She cracks me up. I love my Maddie.

Go Ethan!

Ethan has two games tomorrow and one last game next weekend. Right now his baseball team, The Mariners is ranked first. How exciting for little boys. Little Ethan loves baseball and has really enjoyed playing with his team this year. I am so grateful for the coaches and volunteers who make all this possible for my kids to have great memories. What a fun season!

Maybe it's because of the name of my blog....

For some crazy reason, both me and my husband are SOOOO wanting chickens. We are feeling major chicken love. I check KSL almost every day for a chicken coop at a decent price and am dying to go to IFA. Aren't little chicks so cute? We just need a cute little coop to keep them in.

I admit it may be a little ironic considering I HATE eggs. But I like chickens (if they are not cooked) especially if I meet them as little baby chicks and can raise them. I am having a little fantasy.

Wouldn't chickens be so much fun? Then we could put a sign on the coop.....Laura's Coop. Wouldn't that be perfect? I am thinking so. I am feeling the chicken love right now. And so is my man. It may be an idea for next year..........
