HAPPY HALLOWEEN...I Love pictures...I can't get enough of this cute little monster~ Gramps with Madison and Justin (8 months apart) Madison bugging Justin..she will not leave him alone and he is not impressed with her anymore. On the prowl...looking for Justin Justin begging gramps to get him away from mean Mads! Attack! Attack!
Mads was more concerned with eating the leaves...than cooperating with Granny for a cute picture Kylie as a butterfly fairy and Cooper as Handy Manny Justin...the super cute lion My most perfect Angel!
This last weekend, Madison and I took a road trip to Sun Valley to meet some my girlfriends who helped me survive Grad School! All these girls live in Boise, so I don't get to see them often enough! We stayed the weekend at the lodge and enjoyed good food, fireplace, and gorgeous weather! Leslie and Madison Leslie, Jenny, and Me A night on the town...without Madison (ok, just dinner) Jenny and Teresa Leslie and Me Jenny's mom and sister came over from Carey to watch Madison so we could go to a nice dinner. Jenny's sister, Julie, brought her little daugher (3 months younger than Mads) with her. Andy was adorable and Madison was funny with her...just wanted to kiss(lick) her so bad. Andy just stared at Mads like she was crazy...and she is a little! Bed Time!!! Teresa cracking us up just before bed!
Time to pick pumpkins. Mads and some cousins went to pick out thier pumpkins for this fall season. We went out to a patch that was really cute. The kids had a fun time going through the maze, sliding, and picking out pumpkins. Here are some pics to remember fun times with cousins.
Baby Mads is growing too fast...6 months and she is crawling and now standing...on hardwood. So if she falls, which she does, she bonks, but it doesn't slow her down. She is growing too fast. It makes me happy and sad all at the same time. I just need time to slow down. Time to baby proof the house I guess!

Today was Madison's 6 month checkup. So not much fun for her today after 3 shots and some yummy medicine they shove down her throat! Anyhow...here are some of Madison's stats and things I need to write down so that I can remember Height: 26 1/2 inches (74%) Weight: 16 lb. 2 oz (52%)
Favorite things: *She loves the computer, so I bought her one of her own so that my laptop could last a little longer; however, she still prefers mine. *She loves her baths and never stops kicking her legs, in or out of the bath (she is a splasher) *She loves being outside..too bad it is getting so cold! *She loves being around little kids...she always laughs at them. *She is loving all her new foods..except for bananas, those make her gag as soon as the spoon touches her tongue. *Speaking of tongue...hers is always out. Always pointed, she loves playing with her tongue. *She loves her soothie binkis *She has two different size eyes just like her mom *She does not enjoy being in the car or the car seat, she rather be sitting up *Her mom has decided for her that she loves minnie mouse and owns a lot of stuff *Mads always smiles when her mommy sings her a song *She always laughs when her mom or dad dance for her *She is the cutest most beautiful perfect angel I have ever seen

Here is a clip for Grandma and Grandpa of Mads crawling around. It is on our hard wood so it is not quite as easy for her as the carpet...but she gets to where she wants no matter where she is!
The first week in September, Madison, my mother, aunt, and two cousins took a trip to Destin Florida where we met up with Jenny Judd(my best friend from college). What a fun girl's trip, Madison's first. She loved swimming, the pool much more than the ocean, but she was a trooper and excellent on the plane. She has traveling in her bones already! Thank Goodness. This is the view from the condo Mads enjoying the pool
I am 26 years old...and it feels weird to say that. Time has flown by so fast. I have lived the last six years of my life in Boise working on my master's degree in speech langauge pathology. I have currently been workin in the field now over two years in Idaho Falls as a private SLP and am loving every minute of it (well most of my minutes). Jakob and I have been married for 3 years in September...really how time flies. We bought our first house and are loving it, just didn't realize how much time and money it would take...but we love it just the same. Henley,Harley, Halley, and Shelby love the yard...by the way, those are my puppies. We were lucky enough to add our little Madison to the family in March of 2009. She is honestly the light of my life and makes me smile every single day. I could never love anyone more than I love this little girl. We have all loved making the new milestones in our lives and are looking forward to making many many more.
