**************SNOW DAYS


OK so I wanted it to snow for madi's first

Christmas but this was ridiculous!

I was unable to leave the house

for about a week, and when we

did finally go somewhere the roads

were still very bad.

On the bright side of things though,

I did get some good pictures of the

worst storm since 1968.

Dobber did not care for the snow at first.


I think he only went potty once the first day.


After much coaxing Dave finally got him to


check it out and he loved it!!


It took us forever to get him back in the house.


(he loved to eat it!)






IT HAS GOT TO BE COLD!!!!











We got so much ice that the trees were

starting to droop.












The snow drift on the side of the house.




Check out my flowers they still look great!!












No swinging today!











Madi doesn't have any snow boots yet so

we had to improvise.

sandwich baggies with rubber bands.

(ZIPLOC... ONLY THE BEST FOR OUR CHILD!)





Daddy and Madi going for a walk in the snow.












She does not care to sit in the snow.







Madison trying to catch the falling snow.



SHE SEEMS TO LIKE IT!







We had so much fun!




SHE ALSO HAS SOCKS FOR GLOVES!

************PROFESSIONAL PICTURES!

My friend Jamie makes a lot of crafty
things like this tutu and the mirror with
the feathers behind madi. Jamie was trading
with a pro. photographer and she asked
if Madison could model her products.
So we were able to get pro. pics. for free!
(thanks so much Jamie)
If any one is interested in great gifts for
kids let me know, and i will get you in
contact with Jamie.
she makes flower headbands, clippies, hats
and much more!!!



















































THANKS AGAIN JAMIE!!!









**************HOLIDAYS AND MORE!

Madi and I went to my parents house for
Thanksgiving. Madison had such a great
time playing with her cousin Kaden!
And Kaden is so good with her. He
loves to share his toys.


Kaden "helping" with the whip cream.



YUMMY!!


Madison with Grampa Hammond.





Madison with Grama Trail.





"Check out my teeth!"


OK so Madi took her first step on
Halloween and now she is walking
every where! Dave and I
have been working with her
a lot and now that she has pretty
much mastered walking she has
decided to try climbing.
We are in for it!!!

























Here are some great pics Dave got!
What a smile!!!




















Madi and her bulldog!






Dobber and Madison taking a
break from playing to watch
Yo Gabba Gabba!








On Dec. 5th Madison and I went with
my sister, her son and my cousin
Anna up to Redmond, WA
to visit my Aunt Anita
and her family.
The town has a Christmas program
every year called Redmond lights.
Lots of music, lights and food.
The best part is that it is FREE!
It was a bit cold and Madi slept through
most of it but it was sooo fun!
It was also my cousin Ericka's birthday so
Anita had her party at a hotel's
Meet Santa Breakfast.
This was Madison's first time meeting
Santa and she was not happy!












































Madison and Kaden are having some problems.



WHAT A GREAT WEEKEND!
THANKS ANITA AND FAMILY!
