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!!

summer has arrived!!!

Summer is finally here!! We are enjoying the sun, friends and lots of time outside :-) here are just a few fun photos from our recent adventures!

Our "new" backyard!!!

Such a project but SO happy with the end result! 4 yrs in waiting, our backyard is finally a usable space =-) We now have a garden with corn, green beans, peppers, lettuce and some herbs just to name a few. The playground is in and all our ground cover is done! Nathan has worked so hard to get this backyard looking so great and we are very lucky to have him.

Our garden:




The playground area:





The posts you see in the pictures by the patio are for our future patio cover. That will be a project in itself so that is not done yet, but luckily we haven't had many hot days so we aren't running from the sun =-)

She is getting the hang of it!!

Cannot believe we are already posting about this...Madison has taken her first steps!!! SO excited that I was able to get the most steps she has taken on video!!! Enjoy =-)

sunny days are coming!

We have finally started getting some nice sunny days to enjoy (maybe one every 5 or 6 but that's better than nothing!). Aiden hasn't had much time to learn how to ride his new bike Santa got him so as soon as we had a chance, we jumped on it!! He surprised all of us when the first time we really worked with him on it, he did GREAT!! Here is a little video of Aiden riding his bike!

At the end, he was singing "go, go, go, go...on an adventure!" which is a song from The Cat & the Hat cartoon he likes. It made us laugh pretty hard!

Although it was sunny, it was still a cool breeze so Madison and I played inside...but she really wanted to go outside. She sat at the window watching brother and daddy outside for quite some time.

And a video of Madison watching them too...cuz her little "talking" makes me smile =-)
