He's a ONE year old!!! See... He's so smart.
One year ago today we welcomed our little boy into the world! Best early bday present ever!! (and mind you, I've received a car and most recently a 42 inch tv so yeah...he's THAT awesome.)
Italian Butcher!!! Why did he have to be Italian? Well, we don't ask why, we ask why not. But isn't his 'stume just adorable! I got crafty and even made the sausage links round his neck. Devon got in touch with his crafty side too.... and dyed the neck and armpits of Dexs tank yellow (ya know, for the sweat stains- tre authentic).
My homemade jelly donuts! Thanks mom for watching Top Chef: Just Desserts that week and giving me the idea. Oh Gail!
You can tell by Sophies eyes that this was around the 35th picture we took.
Happy Halloween from the badonkatonkas!
Dexter is 10 months old!! He's been here longer than he was in my belly! Yes this is the best picture I could get. He tries to eat the signs now.. and then he tries to eat my camera.. and then he tries to eat me.. Love him.
Funny story. Our first week as a married couple we went grocery shopping as any newlywed would do. Well I was acting "healthy" and wanted to get veggie burgers. Yeah, 2 and a half years later and they were still in the freezer, unopened. Ahhh Boca burgers will always hold a special place in our hearts. But not in our bellies.
This guy turned 7 months old!! Got his two bottom teeth as a present!
Took a trip to the zoo.
Madsen cousins measuring up!
There we go. Put the babes on opposite sides. All smiles!
Family picture at the family reunion! I think Devon was pinching Dexters leg that's why his face is like that. Mean lil' Devy.
Grandpa Ted putting Dex in a trance with his crackly tongue. Works everytime.
He insists on pulling my hair but doesn't realize it'll get tangled up in his hands. Ahhh!
Dexter just climbing all over Sebey.
And possibly the most exciting goings ons in the badonkatonkas lives.... We're (almost) homeowners!!! Found a sweet piece o' property out in Daybreak so consider this a goodbye to all the rest of Utah as we will be too busy canoeing on the lake and releasing ladybugs. Jk, ya'all can come visit! But I don't think you can canoe on the lake unless accompanied by a local resident. 
Bleaaerrgghh.... And that's our lives in a nutshell! I know I am terrible at keeping up with this blog and when I finally do get around to posting something, it usually takes me three days since I have to sit and upload pictures. So I've decided that I will try and post a picture a day (well, a week) because, let's face it, I have a lot of cute pics! I mean, have you seen our son?!? 
I can't believe it! Dexter Alan is 6 months old!! We've had this baby in our lives for half a year! This has been the greatest half a year ever! He is seriously the best, most amazing, incredible, hilarious, awesome son and I am almost in tears thinking about how much I love my Dex.
We tended (yes I say tended, deal with it) Stone & Sebastian one night and made them a fort. We're not just regular aunt & uncle we're cool aunt & uncle! As you can see, Sebs was ecstatic.
Dexter wanted in on this fort action. And he just wanted to be close to his cousin Stone. From this pic, you can see that Stone just wanted to watch his movie.
This is him saying "uumm Devon can you get Dex away from me??!!"
How cute is that?? Uncle Devys is the best.
Sadie & her boofriend Darren with Dex & his chunky legs.
Cousins taking a bath! Tysen, as you can see, has his camera smile down.
Dexter couldn't quite master the cutie smile that night. Silly kid!
Dex & Syd hanging out at breakfast. Both have the same facial expression that I can't quite explain. Unexplainable but adorable right?
We took an impromptu trip to Zions. Glorious!
Dexter & Grandma Shannon. Silly Dex always has to have those hands in his mouth. Ahh love him so much!
Devon standing on a giant cliff. Not really. It was just a rock sticking out over the water.. But it sure made me nervous!!
Cute Dex.
The whole gang! Shout out to Dallin & Sarah who are engaged! Woo! Getting married on December 18th. That is already such a spectacular day. It's my birthday. And Brad Pitts. So your marriage date will be in good company!
Daddy & Dex in matching outfits. That's how we do.
Dex & Mommy in not matching outfits.
Some more proof that Dexter is his fathers son. Just enjoying some gaming with Dad! 
This picture was taken on a weekday at oh.... around 1 o'clock. Yep, I let him play in his diaper all day.
Dexter just cuddling with his bumper.
Me want food! 
Mmmm carrots!! Did he even get any in his mouth??!! Ah!
Look at those Angelina Jolie lips. 100% real.
