Bryce


It is very difficult trying to pack for our trip when I have to deal with this all the time!


Bryce's reaction when he first meet Madison....


After getting into chocolate, without my approval I might add, he was able to smile for the camera! This is his "cheese" face and he pulls this face everytime I take his picture!

Madison Ann

Here are the pictures of my new niece. We all just love her to pieces! Brandon, myself, and Abbie were able to meet her and hold her tonight and she was wide awake! Let's hope that she doesn't have her nights and days mixed up for poor Helene :)!
I just had to add the next two pictures of Abbie and Madison. At first, Abbie wasn't so sure of her, but as the time went by, she didn't want to let her go! Abbie "hogged" her most of the time:)! Can you tell that Abbie loves her new cousin? Just wait 'til Bryce sees her, I honestly don't know what he will think of her! Bryce wasn't able to come along, because he is REALLY crabby and battling a bad cold. So only time will tell if he will like her or not...... my guess is that he will totally ignore Madison until papa holds her!



Welcome Madison Anne!

First of all, I hope I have the name spelled right! I just received a call, from my brother, that Helene had the baby at 5:00 this morning and she is 7lbs 8oz! I can't wait to meet this little peanut! Pictures will for sure be posted later tonight! God Bless Jeff and Helene on this priceless addition to your family!

Family Christmas Parties

God has blessed us with another wonderful Christmas! Christmas Eve we celebrated with my family and we had a wonderful time with EXCELLENT food! Next Christmas we will be blessed with a wonderful new addition to my family since my brother and his wife are expecting their first baby any time now!
After Brandon and I took the kids to our Christmas morning worship service we went to Brandon's parents and had a really good breakfast. This year, my kids received gifts that they can take on the airplane to Disney to keep them occupied. That was very much appreciated by Brandon and I because I also think that will help our sanity :)!


The final party was the Saturday after Christmas and we had that party with my mom's side of the family. As you can see, picture taking can be quite a problem so I have to be happy with what I can get!
