~One of the last Utah Updates~

Well the time has come to post my second to last post in utah... I know, you're secretly dreading my posts that are about to start coming from our Orange and Green walled apartment in Poland :) Instead of exciting photos about hiking and feeding the ducks..... you're going to start getting Pictures of all the cute faces Maddix makes, the projects he creates, and all the food I'm going to attempt.
                                    Enjoy the next two weeks of posts while you can

Monday 10th: Was so much fun. Maddix found a new spot to play in. Too bad he doesn't have much time left. However he has spent a LOT of time out there since he discovered it.

While these two enjoyed their play time in the garden I plopped myself in a chair and worked on a project of my own. When I tried to pull him in for his lunch, he refused. Duh mom, look how nice it is outside?

Why yes Maddix, it is. So we had our lunch outside, which he loved! For days that followed he kept asking to have his lunch outside:) Then that night as the storm clouds rolled in we made our way to watch my sister, Brenna's softball game. We enjoyed it, even when it started to strike lightening not too far from the field and it started to rain gallons.

Tuesday 11th: Was another extremely fun day. It started early when I took Travis to his rotations so I could have the car. We then picked my mom up and went to Sundance for the morning!

Throwing our first set of fall leaves around

He insisted on hiding in the rocks but eventually declared, " I too big." And gave up

Just loved the fall colors

When we finished up we went over to Walmart and bought What To Expect When You're Expecting because I LOVED that movie, and thanks to a mess up in markings, I was able to buy it for 10.00 cheaper than the marked price. I was stoked! I took my mom home, picked Travis up at which point Maddix fell asleep, ruining his nap for the day, then Travis just took the car back with him and Maddix and I eventually walked over to my parents house (something I would regret later). Then that night we were able to go have dinner with our good friends Charlie and Michelle, who recently returned from Texas.

Wednesday 12th: WELL the previous week I had hurt my foot on a run with my dad, remember? And my walk to my parents finished it off. So I spent the morning at the doctors. It came down to either some nerves that were knotted in between my 4th and 3rd metatarsils, or a fracture in my foot. Either way I was going to end up in a boot so I skipped the bone density scan to find out for sure and just bought the stupid boot. And that has really been a limitation. Never realized how much I use my feet!

Thursday 13th: Travis is off Thursday's since the doctor only does 4 day work weeks (I think I'm going to like his schedule) so we went up to my grandparents and found my gimpy uncle Scott who just had surgery on his shoulder. Maddix ran around with Cousin Bella for a bit, then we went to Scott's to go through some boxes in his basement.

He entertained himself

 Later that day we enjoyed a wonderful sealing session and ice cream with Trav's family and ended the night with a movie.

Friday 14th: I took Maddix back outside to his beloved spot and he played out there for like 2hrs! Then bath, lunch, and nap, and I was off to work... which I was super nervous for! I survived. At least my hair looked nice:)

I did receive a wonderful surprise at work, however. Travis and Maddix showed up towards the end of my shift and told me they had just had a father-son bonding night. They walked through Pets Mart and saw the fish, and then through Toys R Us before coming to eat. Maddix told me all about the toy firetruck he played with and the Lightening Mcqueen race car. Needless to say, they had a great time together and I was so happy to see them.

Saturday 15th: We ran some errands and bought supplies to return to Poland. Hmm.. I don't remember, and it was only yesterday! It was more of a blah day. However I do remember that Maddix played in the tub for a very long time so I messed with my hair, and then did the same to his:)

Then, after a late night involving a depressing football game (of which I don't care to talk about) we were laying in bed falling asleep and maddix started laughing hysterically in his sleep. I looked over and he just kept going and then talking, and then more laughing! After months of waking up to him having nightmares, I'm so happy he finally got to have some pleasant dreams.
