Maddux party of 5....

Justin and I have been keeping it a secret long enough...we are expecting a baby in August!! We're super excited and a little nervous about switching to zone defense. Fortunately Linnea will be 5 this summer, she's such a big helper already. Linnea of course wants a baby sister, Beau a baby brother so he can "tackle him down". Poor kid, it'll either be a punching bag or dressed as a baby doll. Either way it'll be a whole new adventure since it's been 3 years since an infant was in this house:)

Trip out West

Our family took a trip out west this past week to visit family and got the opportunity to visit a fw new places. It's been ages since I posted anything on here but I have to remember it doesn't have to be anything huge to post pics. The kids have been hilarious and we've really enjoyed the road trip as opposed to lugging all our stuff on a plane. It's been a peaceful week, only one more day left. Here's a few pics of our recent adventures. We visited Kingman, AZ where Justin's Dad is from and spent a day in the Hualapai Mtns. We then made our way up to Grand Canyon, AZ. It was beautiful, never thought I would see pictures of the Grand Canyon with snow. We stopped for a few days in Santa Fe, NM and have been staying at the wonderful Hacienda at Hotel Santa Fe. The food is amazing in this town, the shops are awesome (beutiful art and turquoise!) we even found Beau an awesome Pueblo drum. We've been getting a ton of snow today so we're spending the late afternoon warming up by the fireplace in our room. It's been an awesome family vacation, definitely a place we'd like to revisit someday and maybe then learn how to ski!
