Spaghetti Day

A couple days ago we decided to have spaghetti day. I just boiled a bowl of spaghetti noodles and let Maddy have her way with them. She had so much fun with it. She played with them close to an hour. I read in a magazine that it helps with her cognitive skills not only that but what a cute picture moment it created too! She is at such a fun age. She is getting more active and can now play with me. We read books and love to sing all day she will sing along I will have to record her once you can so tell she is trying to sing.





Look at these pants aren't they so cute. They are my favorite!!! I love babies in blue jeans I think it is the cutest. And check out that hiney, so so so cute!!!

Just Playing

So today has been quit relaxing. I was able to do some scrapbooking. I love scrapbooking it is so fun for me, kind of weird I know but it's like a little vacation.
I also had time to take some pictures of my baby. I don't have many naked pictures (which I love) so I snapped a couple today. She was so tired as you can tell in that piano one but I still love it.
Casey has a three day weekend this week before he goes on nights so I am going to try to convince him to go travel. He is not much a traveler and I am a baby and hate traveling by myself. So we will see how my begging works.
Jenn I followed your example and cut my hand too. I swear it must be a family thing. Mine wasn't as bad as yours but I still fill a bit of your pain. I did it with a can lid. I know I am a weirdo.
So it won't be long until Madison is crawling she is now scooting but only scoots backwards. Today she got stuck under the couch it was so funny.
Well I guess I better go clean the house, this is so much more fun but I guess you got to do what you got to do.

Busy

Hello, Every one!!! Long time not chat. Well life has been a little crazy here. I opened my business a couple weeks ago and have focusing on that. I never realized how much work it would be but once the people get their pictures and are happy with them it is all worth it.
Madison is getting so big she just turned 7 months, don't you worry I took pictures he he. I also got a new lens and I love it these pictures were taken with it and I didn't have to do any editing.

My wonderful husband surprised me with a new wedding ring for our anniversary (well early anniversary gift). He is the best. I love it so much. My first one was causing my finger to crack and bleed not good.

Well I think that is all for now. Have a wonderful day!!!

Play group

Every Wed. Maddy and I go to play group. It is a bunch of my friends that all have kids almost exactly Madison's age. Most of us were in a Pregnancy class together. It is a lot of fun. Madison loves it and I am pretty found of it myself. It helps me get out and stay active. Here are just a coouple of her baby friends.







Our neighbor Karen, who is a great friend! comes down and hangs out with us too which also helps me from getting too homesick. Maddy loves her but the only problem is when she is holding Maddy her sweet girl, Hailey gets Jealous. Aren't they so cute. Hailey is a little over a year old. Need to go Maddy is not feeling well.

Such a slacker

I am such a slacker and have not kept up on my postings.
Lets see... Easter. Our Easter was good. It is always hard being away from family on Holidays but other than that it was good. Casey's friend Scott spent Easter with us. He was injured down range and was sent to the Hospital right by our house. We were glade we were so close so we could help out. We had Easter dinner with our neighbors upstairs, they are so sweet!
Not only was it Easter it was also the day Madison turned 6 months old. I can't believe she is 1/2 of a year old. Time has flown by.
It snowed on Easter just like it is snowing right now. I though Utah had crazy weather but Germany is right up there. 2 days ago it was in the low 70's now it is snowing. Crazy, Crazy!!
Well that is all for now. Easter Morning!

Our Trip

Here are just a few pictures from our trip when my mom was here. Most of them are from Trier my mom really liked it there so we went twice. I liked it too, didn't think I would but I did.

My mom took her new camera and some of these are her pictures. I am so proud of her she had no clue how to even turn it on when she got in now she is taking pictures like a pro.
We miss her a lot!! We miss everyone! Maddy misses her grandma too. She is so lucky she has 3 great Grandma's who love her and 1 amazing grandpa all, except for my mom, who she can't wait to meet.

Not much else is happening. Casey gets to switch to day shift next week which will be great 6am to 2pm so much better than 6pm to 6am. I can't wait.

Well Maddy needs me, Bye.

Hello

I am back from my little vacation with my mom it was great.
We didn’t go too far because I am chicken when it comes to driving in Europe but I think she had fun. I will post pictures of our trips tomorrow.

Today is of little Maddy and her Grandma Tree. I did a page of the two of them I think it turned out cute. It seems like Maddy is doing something new everyday. In just the past couple weeks she is rolling over from her back to her belly and she got her first TOOTH!! I can’t believe it. It is one of her bottom ones and is so sharp. She also started eating cereal which I did a page of too ( he he).
Well I think that is all for today.

This is of a couple months ago I tried something a little different.
