Merry Christmas!

Hope everyone has a very Merry Christmas. Its great to have Mady with us this year. Hard to believe last year we were just a family of three. Our first Christmas picture was taken on a whim at Bass Pro shop and Mady was TERRIFIED of Santa. Our second family picture she didn't want to smile for any of the pictures that we took. I'll be posting pictures of Mady opening gifts later on this week. Hope everyone enjoys their day. :)

Yummy snow

Snow Day

It started snowing yesterday evening about 9:30 pm and was still snowing at 2 am. When we all woke up at about 9 am it was snowing a lot harder then the night before. As I am typing this it is still snowing and doesn't seem to be letting up anytime soon. Hope you all enjoy the two videos. Plan on posting pictures later.

ALS Graduation

Kenny graduated from ALS (Airman Leadership School) on Thurs. Dec. 17th. I am so proud of him and hopefully by March he will be promoted. It was a really nice evening (sans kids!!) and I got to meet a few of his co workers.

Snow Day

9 months!

Mady turned 9 months on 11/28. She is really active. She crawls really fast,can stand a few seconds on her own, loves to push anything around and lately she has been dancing to some of her toys that make noise. I can't believe how close she is to turning 1.

Dancing baby

Mady loves dancing and screaming to her favorite singing lamb.

Videos

Video # 1 is from this past Easter and video #2 is during our visit this past summer in TX.

Happy Halloween

We had a gloomy Halloween. It was a bit humid cloudy and started to sprinkle...luckily the gang was back before it rained. It was Mady's 1st Halloween and she didn't get any candies but she did try her 1st lollipop...thanks to brother for parting with one of his many candies.

8 months

Mady turned 8 months today. She is a fast crawler...it's almost impossible to get her to stay in one spot and play for a few minutes. She babbles a lot and loves to be entertained preferably by brother. Today her gums were really itching her so we didn't have a very happy day (as you can tell in her afternoon and evening pics). We've enjoyed watching her grow and can't wait to see what else she will be doing next month.

Tubby time

Mady's bath last night (10/27). She just loves splashing in the water.

Supper time

This is actually her eating without screaming or spitting. I guess she knew I was recording her.

Halloween

The kids are ready for Halloween. We are excited for this will be Mady's 1st Halloween. We have gone back and forth with ideas as to what the kids should be and we finally came to a decision. Matt chose to be Yoshi from the Super Mario series and Mady will be a bubble bee. We took their pictures at Sears but it was in between Mady's nap and her teething so we had a little trouble with her at the shoot but she did great.

My little man cub

Well Matt is in his 2nd yr. of Cub Scouts. This year he is a wolf. He seems to be enjoying himself and we are so proud of him.

7 months and Dave & Busters

Mady turned 7 months on 09-28. It was a rainy Monday and Matt didn't have school so we surprised him and took him to Dave and Busters. He loves playing video games and of course winning prizes. He wanted to play a crane game and you pick your prize but instead of being the usual stuffed animals it was ghetto jewelry. It was a sweet thought but I told him no just to stick to the games to win a prize for himself. Poor Mady still doesn't have teeth but she has been teething pretty bad infact now she makes bubbles and funny noises when her gums really bother her. Then as of today (9/29) Mady can now stand in her crib...since then we have lowered her mattress.

Mady's 6 month pictures

Poor Mady wasn't in the best of moods for her photo shoot. She was ready for a nap and had been teething pretty bad. Still no teeth and she will soon be 7 months.

6 months & 1st feeding

09/02/09



Mady turned 6 months on August 28th. She can now roll over from back to tummy and tummy to back. She isn't quite crawling yet but she can scoot around a lot. She is yelling a lot more now. She pulls at our hair and rips at our faces but we've pretty much have gotten use to it by now...even Matt lets her pull his hair. No sign of teeth just yet. Her first feeding went really well. She didn't really make a mess at all. Matt was really excited to see sister eating. We can't wait to start her on veggies and fruits.

Happy 3rd anniversary to us :)
