Happy Birthday

Somebody in this picture is 40 years old today! So many different landmarks are occurring for our little family. If you'll notice the baby seat above, we actually brought both girls home in that bucket and neither of them use it now. Also can you believe that Madi will be 1 next week. Woosh!!!

Getting bigger and better all the time

She loves to crawl, eat and play with blocks. Who could ask for more.

Fool me once...

Madilene is nobodies fool, she sees the flashing coming and boom those eyes are closed. We did manage to get a side shot...but as you can see she was not going to be tricked for the final picture. Sorry Grandpa.

THE Christmas Moment

Merry Christmas all!

Dedication

Madilene and the family went to church today for her dedication. It was awesome! As you can see my girls looked beautiful and ready to take on the world. It's been a great December so far.

Cups

Madi loves using her fingers, She loves grasping and pulling at anything (including her sisters hair). Above you see one of her favorite activities, pushing, pulling, pressing and punishing her pink cups. poor cups ;-)

Happy Sunday

It's been an awesome 41st birthday, thank you all for a good one. And of course here are a couple of goofy pics of the girls.

First Day of School

We are ready to go!

Sitting up and some teeth

Things are moving along fast for kid #2, she can sit on her own for short periods now and if you look really close you can see a tooth coming in.

Lighthouse Festival

Kaylene, GanPaul, Grandma and Mommy had quite a day up North at the Mukilteo Lighthouse Festival. According to Mommy she kept going and going until she could go no more - as you can see.

Braids and Babies

Went to the crossroads mall last week and had Kaylene's hair done and wow I was really impressed. We had a ton of fun and the session ended with sparkle hair spray. And no blog post would be complete without a cute Madi shot.

Rafting 2012

Again, another awesome year on the river. For those of you that are interested, the bottom three photos are of Joe and his crew making a very successful (final) run on Oaks Springs. Hope to see you all next year!

Sunday Bath

Happy Sunday and have a wonderfully peaceful week!

3

We have an awesome big sister who turns 3 today. I can remember when there was only 2 people in this house who could share the love and responsibility of a newborn, but I realize we have 3. Happy Birthday my sweet, silly, lighthearted and now BIG girl. We love you sooooooooooooo much!

Half Roll!

With continued progress we will have the "Full Roll" down shortly!

Father's Day 2012

According to Jolene we needed an update and as usual she was right. Thank you all for a great Father's Day!

All Smiles

I really thought Kaylene was the "smiles" champ, I was wrong. Look at this kid. She does all the time and I love it!

Water

I must confess, I had forgotten how much fun water was. This kid played with her water activity station for a good long time this morning. Right through one of Madilene's feeding's, Score! She really is amazing.

Mother's Day 2012

Oh boy! I am surrounded by some pretty lovely women. I am one lucky dog! Happy Mother's day!

The Rise and Fall of the Third Reich

After 3 months and 55+ hours of listening time I have completed the above book. For anybody that wants a an awesome grasp on 20th century history this is the book to read and devour. For anybody who wants a better grasp on current events, they should read this book. For anybody who wants to better understand the evil of human nature, they should most definitely read this book. Great book and an amazing personal achievement. Thank you Mr Shirer.
