Catch-up from Christmas to Now!!

2011-01-29T21:37:00.003-07:00

So I am finally updating the blog!!! I have everything from right before Christmas through the end of January 2011. There are a ton of pictures and not much writing. I hope you enjoy all the updates.

Here are the sugar cookies that we made at Nana's!! It was so much fun and Zeke loved it. Zeke liked to use all the colors at once so the cookies kinda turned psychedelic. There are a couple of Zeke's masterpieces as well.

2011-01-29T21:31:00.003-07:00

We had a delicious Christmas Eve dinner at Jamie and Aisha's house. (Thanks Aisha) After dinner, all the kids got their Christmas pj's and Nana read a couple Christmas books. It was a total blast!!

2011-01-29T21:15:00.003-07:00

So I decided to just put a ton of pictures from Christmas in this one post. Zeke loved the roller coaster his cousins got and that is all he wanted to play with at Grandma and Grandpa's house. We had a blast being home with the family and Zeke and Madison had so much fun!!!

Madison's Blessing

2011-01-29T21:11:00.002-07:00

SO it worked out that we were able to bless Madison in Utah during our break. It was so nice to have all the family there and she looked so beautiful in her dress!!! Below are the pictures with everyone and a 4 generation as well!! I still can't believe I have two beautiful children being raised in the wonderful gospel.

2011-01-29T21:03:00.002-07:00

So here are just some random pictures to show how big Madison is getting and how much Zeke loves her. The first one is Zeke going behind an end table to poo and taking a Victoria Secret magazine with him. Hahaha It was so funny I had to get a picture of it.

2011-01-29T20:59:00.002-07:00

So Nana and Papa came to visit and take in the nice weather here in Henderson. Here are a few pictures with Papa's boots on and Zeke at the train when we went to breakfast.

2010-12-24T18:24:00.003-07:00

I have been making new meals with a Rachel Ray cookbook and this one was orange balsamic glazed chicken. it was delicious. This is also Nick after shaving his beard, and Zeke and Madison are getting so big and cute.

Needed Update!

2010-12-24T18:16:00.003-07:00

Sorry for being lost for a little bit. Here is a quick update and hopefully I will be better after the new year.

Here is some Halloween.... Zeke is Woody and Madison is a monster!!

White Coat Ceremony

2010-10-24T19:14:00.004-06:00

Last Sunday was Nick's White Coat Ceremony and I am just getting around to blogging it, my bad. It was at Balley's Casino and it was a lot of fun seeing Nick make this big step in his life. I was so proud of him!! And might I add, he looks good in that coat!!

Brother and Sister Moments

2010-10-04T23:11:00.002-06:00

I laid Madison down and Zeke had to lay next to her.

Already a Big Girl

2010-10-04T23:08:00.000-06:00

She loves to turn on her sides already.

2010-10-04T23:05:00.000-06:00

Zeke and Nana put up some super cute Halloween decorations.

More of Zeke and Madi

2010-10-04T23:01:00.000-06:00

Zeke loves his little sister so much!

Madi and her Crib

We put Madi in her crib for the first time, and she looked smaller then she really is.

Madison's First Bath

2010-10-01T20:13:00.004-06:00

My mom gave Madi her first bath today. She was pretty good through the whole thing.

2010-10-01T18:38:00.002-06:00

Zeke and Madison

2010-10-01T18:28:00.003-06:00

Zeke loves his little sister and it is so cute!!! I love this first picture so much because Zeke loves to hold our hands like this and he had to start holding her hand like this too. Zeke even showed her how to use a binky.

FUNK!!!

2010-09-30T23:53:00.002-06:00

This is Nick and I had to put this on here. I have been in a funk music mode for awhile now. I have been on Pandora listening to music and found some great songs. This first one is for Megan!!! I sang it to her today and she just laughed at me! (she secretly loved it!) Anyway, listen to the first 3 or 4 songs if you have time and get funkified!!!!

Nick and Madison"s Round Up

2010-09-29T19:38:00.003-06:00

Nick and Madison put Woody and Zeke's hats on. They looked so cute and plain old funny too. I had to take some pictures. Nana bought Zeke a Woody costume for Halloween and it came with this super cute hat, I need to take some pictures of Zeke with it on, it is so cute!! The small hat is from Zeke's Woody doll.

MADISON!!!

2010-09-28T23:38:00.003-06:00

Well she is finally here!!! Madison Katherine was born at 9:46 on September 25, 2010!! She weighed in at 5 lbs 15oz and was 18 1/2 inches long. Here are a couple pictures of Megan right before she popped!! Her belly got big and the doctor said the baby would probably be the same size as Zeke....she was wrong. She is just a little thing, but we love our Hashbrown!!! Enjoy all of the pics. A lot more will be on the way very soon. (I actually just took some but haven't loaded them onto the computer yet.)
This is Nick by the way, Megan's computer broke so she hasn't been able to blog so just told me to do it since I always have my computer with me.

2010-09-28T23:36:00.001-06:00

Madison's first picture!

2010-09-28T23:23:00.002-06:00

Here is Daddy cutting the rest of the umbilical cord, and Megan getting to see and kiss her little girl for the first time! She loved it and the tears were flowing on her end! ;)

2010-09-28T23:18:00.001-06:00

2010-09-28T23:06:00.001-06:00

Here is Daddy Zeke and Madison for the first time. Also our cute little family of 4 all together for the first time!!

2010-09-28T23:02:00.001-06:00

The graveyard nurse made this little bow in the beanies they give you. We propped it up to make it look like bunny ears! Cutie!

2010-09-28T22:58:00.000-06:00

Here is Grandma and Grandpa Gangwer and Uncle Zack with Madison.

2010-09-28T22:37:00.001-06:00

Here are the pictures of Madison coming home and one with her and Zeke watching Toy Story!! What a good big brother!

Zeke with B and riding his bike!!!!

2010-09-09T21:25:00.003-06:00

Today was in the 80's and we had to take advantage of it!!! Zeke was able to ride his bike!! I wish the weather would stay this nice but of course it's to good to be true, it is going to be back up in the high 90's soon.

2010-09-09T21:22:00.002-06:00

Zeke loves to walk B and it was so nice outside today Nick took them outside to play while I got ready for my Doc appt.

2010-09-09T21:17:00.002-06:00

So lately we have noticed that Zeke's toes would hang over his shoes, so we finally bought him some cute new shoes.

Madison's First Flowers

2010-09-09T00:44:00.003-06:00

I finally went and got all the things I needed to make these cute flowers. I know they look a little big, but I don't care, they are just too cute!! I am so excited to put them on her little head!!

2010-09-09T00:40:00.001-06:00

I really wanted to see how they looked on some one so we put a flower on B. She looked so cute don't you think?

Buzz Lightyear

2010-09-07T20:35:00.003-06:00

Zeke received a package in the mail from his Grandma and Grandpa Gangwer today. They sent him some really cute clothes and some new Buzzlightyear pj's that he loves!! He has been in a bad mood all day so he was sick of me trying to take his picture so he was starting to block his face with his Buzz doll. What a funny kid! I think it is so cute that he is wearing his Buzz pj's and holding his Buzz and watching Toy Story in his Toy Story chair. Do you think he likes Toy Story? I do!!!

Dr. Zeke

2010-09-04T11:17:00.003-06:00

Nick just got some of his medical equipment so Zeke had to try them all out. He had to listen to our heart beat but we couldn't listen to his, what a buttface.

PARK!!!!

2010-09-01T20:47:00.002-06:00

We had about three really nice days in a row so we finally went to the park. Zeke has been wanting to go to the park ever since we moved hear so we went all three days.

2010-09-01T20:15:00.003-06:00

Our friends Dusty and Malinda come to visit us on there way back home to AZ. Zeke loved there visit and loved playing with there little girl Gentry she is 4 months old, he always wanted to help with anything we were doing with her. I hope he is the same way when Madison is born.

Play-doh

2010-09-01T20:09:00.003-06:00

Zeke has discovered play-doh and he loves it and so do I!! He will play with his play-doh for like an hour it is so nice!! And I love how intense his face is when he is playing its so funny.

Madison's Crib

2010-08-14T21:14:00.000-06:00

Madison's new crib bedding!!!!! It is sooooo cute I love it!!!

2010-08-14T21:08:00.004-06:00

So this is my new obsession, peanut butter cookies!!!! This is my plate and those two on the cooling rake are Nick's. Just kidding I am not that mean, I'll give him one more. HAHAHA

2010-08-14T21:00:00.003-06:00

We had a pool party with Nick's school at the local rec center. It was fun but crowded. Zeke favorite thing was the pop-cycles.

;

Thomas the Train

2010-08-11T23:01:00.001-06:00

We saw this Thomas the Train pjs at Wal-Mart and we had to get them for Zeke and he love's them!!!

Trying to Clean

2010-08-04T17:41:00.005-06:00

I asked Zeke to help me and clean up his toys so I could vacuum his room. So I went up stairs and this is what I saw. He pretty much threw all of his toys out in the hallway. I guess he was trying to get all of his toys out of the way for me. So I had to take some before and after pictures.

First Day of Med School

2010-08-03T14:49:00.005-06:00

Nick after his first day of school. Zeke was so happy to see him when he got home, Zeke was asking for him all day. Nick sure looked good, he had to get all dressed up for the first two days of school.

2010-07-31T23:37:00.003-06:00

For my official birthday we went out to breakfast at The Coffee Cup in Boulder because we saw it on Diners Drive inns and Dives and it was really good!! Then dinner just at Pei Way. Nick made me a cake and we had our friends Rob and Natalie come over for cake and ice cream. It turned out to be a really great day!!!!

2010-07-31T23:31:00.003-06:00

For my birthday Nick flew my best friend Stacey in for three days and it was the best b-day gift ever!!!! We had so much fun shopping and laying by the pool!! So I am still getting the hang of blogging so sorry these pics are all backwards. So these pics are right before we took Stacey to the airport.

2010-07-31T23:24:00.001-06:00

This was a daily occurrence while Stacey was here. I guess he was so exited all the time it just wore him out.

2010-07-31T23:18:00.003-06:00

We went to Mandalay Bay to see the shark reef aquarium. The octopus was so cool. It went from one side of the tank to the other so we were able to take some killer pictures!

2010-07-31T23:16:00.001-06:00

I put two of the same pictures up because you can't see the jelly fish behind us so I wanted you to see us and the jelly fish.

2010-07-31T23:13:00.000-06:00

2010-07-31T23:06:00.002-06:00

So these are some pictures of the best cupcakes I have ever had!!! I was watching "Holly's World" on "E" and she got some cupcakes from the Cupcakery and so I had to find this place and try it out.

Caesar's Palace and Picnic

2010-07-21T17:38:00.004-06:00

After we had our picnic we went on a hike. The map said it was easy yeah right it was so hard but the kids had fun.

2010-07-21T17:30:00.003-06:00

Today we went up to Mt. Charleston. Its like the only real mountain down here. We went up there with a friend that Nick went to Weber with (Rob and Natalie) and Rob is going to med school with Nick this fall. They have 3 kids, a set of twins that are 3 and a 8 month old so Zeke loves to play with them.

2010-07-21T17:27:00.000-06:00

2010-07-21T17:24:00.002-06:00

We had a really busy day of running to my doc appt and going to our wic appt and it totally wore Zeke out if you cant tell.

2010-07-21T17:15:00.003-06:00

We went to a toy store in Caesar's Palace and we saw some Thomas the Train stuff so we had to get some. I was trying to take a picture of Zeke with his new Thomas whistle but he was being shy.

2010-07-21T17:10:00.002-06:00

We went to Caesar's Palace for family night and we had so much fun! Zeke loved looking at all the fish.

The 4th, the Move, and Vegas!!

2010-07-15T22:09:00.003-06:00

2010-07-15T22:01:00.003-06:00

I have been cooking almost every night and Nick has been loving it. This is his favorite meal, Chicken Enchiladas!!

2010-07-15T21:56:00.002-06:00

For family night we took Zeke to the strip to see the M&M factory and the Coke factory. He loved it!!!!

2010-07-15T21:49:00.003-06:00

We decided to take this picture because I am obsessed with hash-browns this pregnancy. We are going to frame this pic and put it in Madison's bedroom.

2010-07-15T21:42:00.003-06:00

We had a nice relaxing day after the big move. It was so nice just chillin in the pool. Then the next day we went out to breakfast before my mom and dad left. It was in Randy's old hood, which is in the ghetto. Jerry's Nugget, um ummmm!!

2010-07-15T21:32:00.003-06:00

We did the 4th of July on the 2nd at Nick's grandparents house. I really like the picture with all the kids with Zyon picking his nose. ;)

Baby Madison

2010-05-31T07:56:00.003-06:00

Well here is Madison at 23 weeks!!! She is due Sept. 28th so we will be having her in Henderson. She weighs 1 pound 1 ounce and moves a ton. I seem to always have a sweet tooth with her. I didn't know that I could make lemon bars so many times and love them each and every time!! So this is the only picture you will get of her until she finally comes in September! But I will keep you posted until then!!

Graduation!!!

2010-04-25T07:47:00.014-06:00

Well here is another round of pictures and updates. I didn't write a lot, like usual, but there are quite a few pics. So starting off is the most recent, Nick's graduation!!! Even though it was very dry and boring, it was great to see Nick graduate. He did it in 4 1/2 years which isn't to shabby. President Monson spoke at the early ceremony which was very nice. He talked about attitude, belief, and courage as being the ABC's for the graduates future. Then Nick had his ceremony where he actually walked at 12:30. That was long and painful, but awesome! Then we went to the Olive Garden for lunch with the whole family and had a blast. Nick got me this appreciation certificate that talked about how much I helped him during his schooling. Oh course I bawled like a baby and he even got choked up a little which he never does. (I will get a picture of it later.) And that was the day. It was fun and I am so proud of you Nick, I love you!!!

One of Nick's good friends since they were little graduated with him. This is Zeke with their daughter Eva. This picture is soooo cute!

The family at the graduation!

My graduate and myself and then our little family with baby #2 in my belly!!! I can't hid it anymore!

The proud parents!

Choo Choos!!

2010-04-25T07:38:00.005-06:00

Okay, so Zeke absolutely loves trains. So Nick and I decided to take him to the Union Station to see the trains, and then to get lunch at the Union Grill. Zeke almost lost it!! He was so excited to be able to get right up next to these giant trains, and even have Daddy put him up on them. In the pictures you will see how excited he got and how much fun he had. He made us have a blast just watching him!!

TOO EXCITED!! Zeke's new thing is to put his hands like that when he is very happy!

Although my face is funny looking, I had to put this picture on because of how excited Zeke's face is!

Easter

2010-04-25T07:31:00.008-06:00

So here you go. A month later I am finally getting the Easter pics up. Here is our cute little Zeke getting his basket. Nick was at work this year so he didn't get to see it. :( But Zeke loved his toy and candy. Nick and I didn't do baskets this year, but he did surprise me by getting me Alice in Wonderland, the cartoon version. I was so happy to get it. Well here are all the pics of the fun day that we had.

Zeke loves playing with his cousins light sabers, so that is what he got for Easter. He loves it!

Easter

2010-04-25T07:20:00.013-06:00

So here we are at Nana's for the annual egg hunt. Here are all the kids waiting to go and get their eggs. Zeke had a blast, but he was more serious about getting as much candy as possible than having fun doing it!

Well here is the Easter egg hunt. Zeke Chloe and Izzy had the grass area to themselves to get candy. This is them just getting started.

Mr. Serious! No time to talk, just get candy!

Mustache March

2010-04-08T20:55:00.006-06:00

So here is the overall recap of Nick and his "Mustache March". I hated the fu-man-chu!!!

2010-03-14T07:36:00.004-06:00

Well Nick is doing this Mustache March, which I hate and think is disgusting, but here is the first picture of him trying to grow it out. He said it will be a handle-bar style when he is done. I will keep you updated on the creepiness that it bound to happen!

Zeke's 2nd Birthday

2010-03-14T07:26:00.012-06:00

Well Zeke turned 2 on March 11th, I know I can't believe he is that old either! We had a good time at my mom's house with the family. Here are some pics of the night!

Zeke loves to vacuum, so he got his own vacuum to help me!

Izzy helping Zeke out with the chores!

2010-03-14T07:20:00.005-06:00

So the other day Nick decided to hang up a sheet in our bedroom over the recliner and into the window seal for Zeke to have a fort. Zeke thought this was the best thing ever, and since we did not want a sheet hanging in our room, Nick built Zeke's fort in his toy area. Zeke loves it!!!

Zeke at his play kitchen set in his fort!

2010-03-14T07:14:00.005-06:00

So Zeke has decided that he is a big boy and can put his own clothes on now. Although it is impressive that he got these pants on, he needs a little help on knowing which side is the front!

2010-01-31T22:18:00.000-07:00

Zeke and his funny faces I love it!! And I love him!!

2010-01-31T22:15:00.000-07:00

2010-01-31T15:49:00.002-07:00

New Years Eve. Zeke was helping me bake cookies for the party me and nick went to. And that was the first and last time Zeke was able to wear that cute sweater. I washed it and it got a big hole right in the neck.

2010-01-31T15:45:00.002-07:00

Just don't look at my mess of a room!!! Just look at the cute little boy with my cowboy boots on!!

2010-01-31T15:38:00.002-07:00

He loves to put on hats now.

2010-01-31T15:17:00.003-07:00

You all know how crazy my son is, and if you don't, now you do! My visiting teachers came over and Zeke was in the kitchen and I didn't think he would do anything bad in there. Well, I was very wrong!!! He come in to the living room covered with ajax and says "uh-oh mommy" and pointed to the kitchen, and this is what I walked into.

2010-01-31T15:14:00.000-07:00

Zeke just lookin like a pimp!!!
