Madi turns ONE!!!!!

 

 

We cannot believe how quickly time flies by!!!  Our little Madilynn has turned one!!!  She has brought so much joy and happiness into not only our lives, but to many others as well.  She has such a kind and gentle nature, but can also be strong willed when she wants to be.  She has been developing right according to schedule.  Here is a sneak peek into her last 12 months:

For her big birthday, we had to have spaghetti, due to the old family tradition.  Not only do they get spaghetti, but they get to have the whole plate, and eat it with their hands!!

 

 

The anticipation was killing her!!!

 

 

Hmmm... Now what do I do?!?

 

 

Okay, I've got this!!

 

 

Please sir... Can I have some more? :)

 

 

We also had a little birthday party that was ladybug themed.  It turned out pretty cute!

 

 

Here is the cake that Aunt Becca made for Madi to enjoy.  It turned out so cute!

 

 

We had cupcakes for everyone else. These didn't turn out quite like I had hoped they would, but oh well...

 

 

This was Madi's high chair all decorated. :)

 

 

We decorated the tables in red tablecloths, and then cut out black circles of felt to put in the middle.  It turned out really cute! 

 

 

Madi looked adorable in her outfit made by her Aunt Lindsey!  Thanks again Linds... :)

 

 

When we gave her the cake to eat, she kept looking at us like, "You want me to what?!?!"

 

 

"I can totally do that!!!"

 

 

Clean-up was intense, but it was worth it!! 

Overall, it was a great party.  We are so happy to have been able to celebrate the joy in our life.  We are eternally grateful that Madilynn was sent to our family.  We love her more than words can express!!

Happy Birthday Madi!!!

 

 

Our Wonderful September (Part 2)

While we were in Park City, we had tons of fun in the many hot tubs the hotel provided.  Notice Madi... We are not quite sure what she was doing here. :)

 

The pools were tons of fun as well!  The boys were getting crazy!

 

 

 

 

One of our favorite activities was walking up and down Old Main Street in PC.  There was so much culture and diversity.  It was very unique and we were able to see a very "artsy" side of PC.  Madi enjoyed getting out too!

 

Overall, it was just nice to get away and have a little break. Hope to do it again soon! ;)

 

Some very exciting news we received this month, was finding out that our baby is going to be a boy!!!  The name that we have really been liking is Lucas Michael Robbins.  Everything looked good with the ultrasound.  The only thing they couldn't see was the blood flow out of the heart.  So, they scheduled a repeat ultrasound next month to double check.  They said it was most likely the way he was positioned, and not to worry. :(  Too late!

 



 





Later that day, we were able to go to the BYU verses Hawaii football game.  We were a little nervous taking Madi with us, but she did pretty well! 

 

 

She was clapping and cheering right along with us and the crowd!

 

 

I think we have a true blue cougar fan on our hands!!!  Go cougs!!!! :)

 

 

September was tons of fun!!!  We hope all is well with all our family and friends!

 

Our Wonderful September! (Part 1)

 

 

The beginning of September started out with the wonderful arrival of my brother, Elder Samuel Grant Buhler returning home from serving an honorable two year mission in the Mexico City Northwest Mission!!  In this picture we were sitting in the airport waiting for him to get off the plane.

 



 

Here are some of the family holding signs, anxiously waiting... :)

 

 

 

 

 

Sam had left just before Mike and I got married, and so this is when he was meeting Madi "officially" for the first time! Since then they have definitely bonded!!

 

 

Here is a picture of everyone that came to the airport to welcome Sammy home!  Isn't he loved?!?! :)

 

 

The Buhler family reunited again!!!  Families ARE forever!!!

 

 

After Sam got home, we were able to go up to Park City for a few days to spend time as a family.  One of the days, we were able to go zip lining in Provo Canyon.  It was gorgeous!!

 

 

Doesn't Mike look thoughtful here?  I wondering if his life was flashing before his eyes? :)  JK!!

 

 

Here he goes!!!!!!!

 

 

Mike is that green dot... :)  Looks like fun!

 

 

We were the "official/unofficial" photographers of all the fun.  We had a blast!

 

 

Madi was just "hangin'" out... haha!

 

 

Of course Mike and I had our shopping day at the Outlets while we were up in Park City... complete with Cafe Rio for lunch! Yummy!!

 

I will do another post for the rest of our Park City trip, and the rest of our eventful September! :) 

Love you all!!!
