The future......

" The future belongs to those who believe in the beauty of their dreams."

Lunch with a little snack came just a little too close to nap time!!

Good-bye Summer....

As the leaves turn from green to gold it is certain the season is going to change. And with the first sight of "termination dust" (the first bit of snow on the mountain) the temperature is sure to follow. Good-bye 60 degree weather.....Hello 50's, 40's, 30's, 20's and yes......even below 20 degrees. Although it is a beautiful sight to see and a great experience to "endure" all four seasons, I think I forgot to mention I am not a cold weather person? Hmmmm

Midnight Sun Park

Allie, Madie and Sage posing for a quick picture before heading over to the swings.

Swinging for the first time all by herself and LOVING it. However, once she realized she had something in her hands, she wanted ever so badly to get it into her mouth.

Her first big girl slide...... However, Sage was standing close by for the, "just in case."

Hold on tight sister!! Not too sure she was in the mood to "hang." However, we sure thought it was cute.

Go Allie, Go!! With her shoe falling off and trying not to let go from laughing so hard, she never made it past the fourth bar. Here is a little secret...........that is where she started out!!! ssshhhh

My three kiddos "trying" to fit into the tire swing all at once. I do not think it worked out too well.

Sage doing his back flip off of the swing. You cannot see it but, I had my cell phone in hand with 911 ready to go! Great job Sage....He actually landed it. A perfect 10!! Now, do not do it again!

Look Daddy!!

"Look at me daddy.....one hand."

What can I say? It seems like just yesterday she was born, then crawling and now she just turned 7 months and is pulling up on EVERYTHING! Not only is she pulling up on everything but, she is also brave enough to try to stand. SHEESH!!! Before we know it she will be walking (sigh)!

Her 1st Day

As summer ends another glorious school year makes its way into the picture. Allison will be starting the 3rd grade this year in Mrs. Halfpenny's classroom. Allie is VERY excited on her first day of school and ready to hit the road at 7:40 am. However, the first bell does not ring for another 50 minutes! So, she settles on breakfast and a few cartoons instead. Have a great first day Al.

Boys...

Jester and Hollywood, AKA, James and Sage.. are posing for a picture before heading off to the homecoming dance. It seems like only yesterday Sage was playing in the dirt with a spoon and his dump truck in the back yard and now...he is going to his 9th grade homecoming dance. Is that really possible?? Where did time go and who gave my little boy permission to grow up?

"Berry" cute...

With Daddy's eyes and Mommy's nose,

Madison Alexa is 6 months old!

A quick photo before heading off to the doctor for her 6 month check-up and shots. At 6 months old, Madison weighs in at 17.7 pounds and is 27 inches long. She is no longer the newborn we brought home from the hospital, instead she is a bright, beautiful and always smiling little girl. Our bright eyed "little sis" always has time to show a quick toothless smile!

Rub a dub.....

Rub a dub dub, one cute little lady with some suds in the tub!

This is Madison's first "solo" bath. She has given up the baby bath tub and the water recliner to sit and play like a big girl in the bath tub. With her pink duckie, bubbles and her cup she is having one "splash" of a time!!
