Saying hi to the reindeer

While out doing errands, we came across Blitzen and Dasher! This is the second time the kids have been able to see the reindeer and they think its just the coolest :-)

Christmas 2011

Aiden made antlers at school today and his teacher sent one home for sister. They are soooo cute!!!

First pony!

Ponytail that is :-) can't believe it is already possible but it is by far my fav and sooooo cute!!!!

First pony!!

Ponytail that is!! Can't believe it is here already!! It's by far my fav :-)

Personality

They each have very different personalities and interests for sure...this picture sums it up lol as crazy as the can (and often do) drive me, I love them more than anything!

Aiden is too funny!

 Watch "Super Chargers!" on YouTube 

I am still trying to figure out how to upload videos again but the link is a video that I took today and makes me smile :-)

Madison is 18 months old!!

It's absolutely shocking how quick 18 months has gone by!! It definitely went by faster than Aiden's first 18 months. She is quite the little girl too. She gives the best loves and cuddles. She loves bath time more than anything and eats everything in sight. She is about 25 lbs and growing great. She is saying several words including please, thank you, ball, coffee (Haha), milk, bath, and my most favorite go ducks :-)

Before I know it, she will be in her big girl bed and potty trained! We love everything about her and wouldn't be a complete family without her.

The picture was her after her appt when she had to get three shots...not a happy camper but she did as good as expected and sat in that spot on the couch for a good 20 mins before getting down and saying "owie" lol

Meet Caco the dinosaur

Loving Aiden's new imagination and creative personality. He is always playing jail, firefighter, and anything that he can pretend is a gun or shrink ray lol he is also so good at drawing and tracing for such an active little boy!

Little moments

The little, and often brief moments that the kids are sitting still and show their love are some of the best moments I could ever have imagined. My plan is to keep these images together so when they start to fight I can remind them of how much they really love each other!

Our little girly girl

Madison has definitely started showing her girly side.  She loves wearing shoes and her newest joy is her tutu...she finds it in her drawer and will put it on all her own and come tell me "tutu" :-) I even find her doing turns lol she is getting so big!!!

Halloween 2011

It was my most favorite Halloween so far!! Aiden had a blast looking at the other costumes and trick or treating and Madison walked with her treat bucket the entire time and even said thank you on several occasions (she usually gets shy around strangers). Great night but exhausting!!

Artist Aiden

With very minimal help from Nathan, Aiden colored this "masterpiece" :-) I think he is gonna be quite the meticulous little man haha

Play time

The kids don't play together well always (mostly Aiden being too rough or Madison being too dramatic lol) but today they did great. When I went back to check on them, I found Madi in her toy drawer.  Aiden informed me he was giving her a bath because she got dirty from fighting fires. Hahaha he is getting such an imagination lately and its so much fun!

GO CHARGERS!!

Thanks to mom and Danny for the awesome Rivers jerseys...we don't get the game today but we are cheering on our Chargers! :-)

Our cutie pie :-)

Madison is such a fun little girl!! Can't believe she is growing so fast. Each day I get more excited to watch her grow and see her personality shine :-)

Aiden goes to school

Aiden started preschool last week and he is loving it!!! He was even the star student on his third day :-) we are so proud of our big boy!!

Testing...testing...

If this is a successful post, everyone will finally start seeing more updates :-) GO DUCKS!!
