August 2011-Look Who's Two

Madelyn celebrated her 2nd Birthday

on August 30th! When asked what she wanted

to do for her birthday she said "swim at pool

and play with Buzz! So we had a pool party

with a "toy story" theme.

Just starting to dig in...

Oh Yummm....

Yes, a success!

Swimming with with her Aunt Angie

and Cousin George.

Lots of family and friends came.

Madelyn loved to open her presents!

All tuckered out after a fun filled day.

Maddy had to sleep with all of her new Buzz toys!

We celebrated Oquirrh Park Day in our

neighborhood. Jason was asked to be in the

parade. The kids were so excited

to see the police car, lights and hear the

sirens. Maddy kept saying Dada, woo woo!

July 2011

We went to Riverton Days. Madelyn was

so excited to go on the rides!

Maddy with her cousin Boston. They were a

little unsure when it first started...

...but got more and more excited the

faster it went!

Madelyn started playing with cousin Dylan's

Buzz Lightyear action figures a couple of

weeks ago. Kristy gave Maddy a Buzz

costume and she never took it off!

Yes, another day spent as Buzz Lightyear!

We went up to Canada to see

Grandpa Fletcher. Madelyn loved

spending time with him!

Outside Grandpa's home

We also went to Uncle Vernon and Aunt Janet's

house. Jason took Maddy out for a ride on the

dirt bike. She didn't want to stop!

We went to see where Grandma Fletcher was

buried. It is a beautiful tombstone.

We also saw where my Great Grandpa &

Grandma were buried.

This is the Magrath Pharmacy that my Great

Grandpa Fletcher started. He was a pharmacist

as well as my Grandpa Fletcher and his son

Uncle Glen. It Celebrated 100 years that

weekend!

The First Magrath Pharmacy

This Park opened over the 24th of July.

It was built in memory of my

Great Grandma Alston, who was the

first scout master in Canada.

On Our way from Canada to Montana,

we went through Glacier National Forest.

There was this Great Bear Adventure

we had to stop and check out!

We saw about 5 black bears. They were as

close as a few feet from your car to a

few yards away!

We also went to Uncle Vernon and Aunt Janet's

cabin on Echo lake in Montana

The beautiful view from the cabin

Cousin Brad and Kaylee took us out on the

boat. Jason decided to perfect his back flip

off the tower on the boat. Ready...

Set....

Go....

Perfect 10!!!

Madelyn loved the boat!

She liked to sit in the driver's seat too.

Dad and Maddy in the water

We all piled on two ski biscuits with our

cousins behind the boat.

June 2011-Myrtle Beach

Myrtle Beach, South Carolina. Maddy was so

excited to see the sand and water!

Maddy and Dad at the beach!

She loved to play in the sand

The beach wore her out!

She had had enough for one day :)

Maddy's cousin bought a hermit crab.

She was excited to see it, but wouldn't touch it!

Maddy and Mommy

We walked out to the edge of the pier and

watched the tiger sharks come up to eat!

It was a little creepy to see the people

swimming a few yards away!

Madelyn loves her Grandma Coons, and when

she saw Sylvia's sister, Gail, she had a hard

time telling them apart. She was so excited

to have 2 Nanna's!

We went to a little cafe on the pier for lunch.

Madelyn had to bring her turtle we bought

the day before.

Maddy found a huge bear and she wouldn't let go!

When it rained, it poured. All wet!

All Dry

We drove up to Mount Airy North Carolina

to meet the Hiatt side of the family.

We are out in front of Jason's

Great Grandpa's house.

Down the street was Jason's Grandpa's house.

Maddy made friends with her cousin "juicy."

They had a lot of fun!

Jason and Madelyn with Grandpa Hiatt

Cheese!

We were waiting out the rain for our family

photos and thought we had better take one

just in case the rain never stopped!
