Christmas

Madison was very pleased with the blueberry pancakes daddy made for breakfast.

This is my favorite Christmas picture. Despite being surrounded by 100 new toys, everyone is glued to the t.v.

Six months old!

Colin is six months old! He had his check up and he was 29 inches long!! He is doing great.

Here he is with Santa...unfortunately we don't have a picture of Madison with Santa. She's not a big fan...maybe next year!

Colin

I'm sure this picture is the first of many....Madison put her dolls sweater on Colin's head. He is incredibly tolerant of her dressing him up.

Hanging with his cousin Peyton.

Natalie trying to watch t.v. while I take her picture.

Colin is trying so hard to sit up...any day now. He can sit up as long as he is leaning forward.

Gingerbread houses, trains and lots of collapsing!

We are definitely not builders. Dad was in charge of putting together the gingerbread house, which collapsed quite a few times. Lynne and I were in charge of the gingerbread train and we did even worse than dad. Madison ate all the candy and licked frosting off her hands the whole time.

No, she's not helping put it together...she's just scraping off the frosting!

Eating machine

Colin is finally eating. Bananas are his favorite by far.

Most of it does not get in his mouth!

Madison's haircut

I know I said I would never cut Madison's bangs but I did. She actually looks pretty cute. It's growing on me!

Colin turns 5 months old!

Time is flying! Colin is five months old today. Here are some recent pictures of him. He is getting cuter and cuter everyday...he looks like his daddy.

He is very proud that he can blow bubbles.

Trying to get the Christmas card picture!

I have been taking pictures just about everyday to try to get a winner for the Christmas card. It is gettting to the point now where Madison is starting to think taking a picture with her brother everyday is torture. Here are a couple of the pictures I have taken so far.

This one is my favorite so far...

Colin hates cereal!

I tried to feed Colin rice cereal this week. He did not like it at all. He cried hysterically and then kept his mouth shut the rest of the time. I think we'll wait a few weeks before we try again.

The look on his face says "Why are you doing this to me?"

Colin's Baptism

Colin with his grandparents and great grandmother.

Colin with his godparents, Uncle Curt and Aunt Kim.

Happy 2nd Birthday Madison!!

Halloween

Madison out trick or treating. I had to hold her back because every time people opened the door, she tried to walk into their house.

Colin dressed up as a lion.

Madison loves Mickey Mouse so Drew and I carved her these pumpkins.

Madison talked Drew into one of her lolipops when I wasn't looking!

Playgroup

Ok, so I have been slacking off and have not updated the blog. A lot has happened. Here is the pictures of Madison's Wednesday playgroup. They had a costume party for Halloween.

Brown's Harvest

Every year my sister organizes a trip to Brown's Harvest. Here are all of the kids that came on the hayride this year. Everyone had a great time. As you can tell, my sister aka "drill sargeant" got all of the kids to sit and look straight ahead for this picture.
