Enjoying the Snow!
We had a great time at Mammoth mountain over the weekend. It was nice to get up to the mountains and enjoy the snow! We got some snowboarding in which felt great to get the snowboards out and put them to use--It had been way too long for me! Our freinds joined us as well as her cousins Hannah and Caroline! Good thing Madeline was up for driving us home!

Madeline has been crawling on her tummy for over a month now! In the last few weeks or so she was starting to get up on her hands knees more and more and tonight she took off! She was crawling all over the place laughing and vocalizing her excitement. Watch out

A Good Start To The New Year!

Aunt Rita and Uncle Wayne at our house for a visit!



We have had a great start to 2010! We were very excited to host Aunt Rita and Uncle Wayne on thier visit to California with grandma and papa! We enjoyed wine tasting, yummy dinners, a boat ride and just spending time relaxing! We hope they come visit again soon!

Trip to Texas!

On my third plane trip! This time we are were off to Houston to visit with Aunt Marlene, Uncle Jim, the girls and all of the rest of the Houston clan! Aunt Marlene and Uncle Jim then drove Madeline and I to Austin to meet up with Crispin and clan for a wedding! I hope that one of the uncles or grandma/grandpa will teach Madeline to jump this high when she gets older!
We had a great time visiting with everyone! Madeline even had her first kiss from a boy! Jaydon who is a couple months older than Madeline kept giving Madeline kisses on her head! Another great trip!

Madeline 6 Months Old First Foods!

Madeline turned six months old on Christmas Eve so when we returned from our trip we were ready to get Madeline going on her first foods. Madeline started with rice cereal! She is lucky since mommy and our helper have been able to make all of her foods so far! She is enjoying sweet potatoes, peas, apples, pears, carrots, bananas and of course rice cereal! Hard to believe that we are transitioning to yet another new phase for Madeline!

More Christmas Fun!

We enjoyed the holidays in St. Louis visiting with family and friends! We were excited to have Madeline enjoy snow for the first time. Madeline made her first trip to the bowling lanes! The trip went so fast, but it was so nice to see so many people and to again share Madeline with everyone!
