Rasperberries

Madison came home in a great mood today, so I just couldn't help but catch her blowing raspberries.

Sad Times

I find myself completely overwhelmed with questions. Early saturday morning one of my good friends from college passed away after being shot by her ex-boyfriend. Apparently he was quite troubled, and he was jealous that she was with another boy. I just don't get some people, why ruin some one else's life because you are deelpy troubled and don't know how to cope. I feel like a part of life was ripped away from this earth, a great part. My friend, Catherine, was a wonderful person. She was very involved with Highland dance and for the past 10 years had been a teacher to many youngsters. She was a great spirit, and loved many. My favorite part of her was that she was a smart-ass. She said what she felt and was always passionate about life. She will be missed by many. I feel awful because in the past few years we hadn't kept in great contact. I almost feel like my grief isn't justified because we had lost touch. However I can't help but think about the great memories had together, and then just break down in tears. My heart goes out for her family, the holidays will never be the same. Hopefully they can get through this by knowing that her life was a brilliant one. Please keep her family in your thoughts and prayers, I am sure this is a very difficult time for them.

Rest In Peace dear friend. You will be missed.

Picture day!

So today was picture day. We drove down to Loveland with the whole family to get Maddie's 6 month pictures and pictures for our Christmas cards. I have some here for you to see, but for most of the Christmas ones, you'll have to wait until you get our card. But here are a few.

One of me and Maddie. Robbie wants to photoshop this one, and make it black and white, and then make our eyes blue. We'll see when that gets done.
This is a cute profile shot of my Maddie.

And of course my smiley girl in her pretty Christmas dress. She was so great. They said she was the easiest baby ever. Hope you all enjoy.

Moving baby!

Here is a video of Madison, getting so close to crawling. She wants to so bad, but just can't seem to figure it out. Excuse the dogs in the picture, they just can't seem to stay out of the shot. Hope you all enjoy.

My Bell

Here is a cute little video of my baby girl as Belle. Robbie was swinging her and she was so funny, she loved it at the end, but she was so stiff and unsure while it was going on. Hope everyone had a great weekend!

Corn Maze, Halloween and More

So even though my baby girl is a little shy of six months old, it seems that she has just gotten so big lately. Here is a picture of my baby holding her own bottle, this is a blessing!

Yesterday was Halloween and the girls (Bailey & Madison) had a great time at daycare, they had a big party and all the kids were so adorable. Madison was Belle, and Bailey was a Ladybug, look how adorable they are.
Here is a picture of the cake that we all made for the daycare. The Frosting was a bit too runny, but other than that it turned out great, and let's be honest, it was cake, the kids loved it!

Here is Madison a little too excited. I can't believe I actually go the picture taken of her looking like this.

Here are the girls at Daycare with their teachers, Merilee, Wendy and Hope. They were all so cute, and had such a great time.

Last weekend we took a trip down to the cornmaze, and needless to say it was quite the trip. The cornmaze was awesome, however Robbie was on alert so it was just me carrying Miss Priss, so needless to say the next morning my back was killing me. However the girls love being outside so they had a blast. Afterwards we went and ate at Roma's one of Carrie's favorite restaurants in Greeley. This was quite the experience and honeslty I am surprised we didn't get kicked out. The kids were super loud, we were obnoxious, and above all else Bailey spilled Sara's pop on her, then Shane was trying to help and knocked his tea on her as well. Thank god the food was good, and yes we left a dang good tip.
