Peas, Peas, and More Peas!!

We finally gave Bella something other than rice cereal. Right after Thanksgiving we tried peas. She loved them. She likes veggies alot. We have tried to give her bananas and apples and she won't eat them. The sweetest thing she likes is sweet potatoes. She does like oatmeal with bananas, and we are trying a little bit of meat now, like ham and pineapple, and turkey and rice. Still no teeth yet!!

Thanksgiving with the Willards!

We had a get together the day after Thanksgiving and Great Grandma and Grandpa came over with Uncle Chuck and Chuckie. Here are a few pics of us hanging out. Of course Billy and I are not in them because we were busy taking pics. I am going to try to be better from now on and have us be in the pics. Also I have to remember to take more pics. I was looking through the Christmas pics (which there are only a few) and Billy and I are not in any of them!!! Also, It was Bella's first Christmas I should have taken more of her!! We did video all of the present opening, though, so there is that.

Thanksgiving!

We went to Havasu for Thanksgiving. We had a great time. We got to hang with everyone. Cousin Embrie, Aunt Carol, Julieanne, and also Lilah, before she came out :). I wasn't really on top of picture taking. These are the few I got. None of Great Grandpa :( I wasn't thinking. If anyone has any they want me to post, e-mail them to me.

Just Like Mommy!

We caught Madilyn trying to be like Mommy and feed her baby. I had to post because I thought this was so cute. They really do pay attention to what you do and learn from it.

Just a Few Cute Pics!

I know it has been an eternity since I have posted anything. I have been so busy, as I'm sure all of you have. We had a great Holiday Season. I will hopefully be able to get some holiday pics up after these or within a few days. These are just a few cute ones, not holiday related, that I found. I think in most of them, we are at Grandma and Papa's house.

First Foods and Funny Faces!!!

Bella had her first taste of something besides breastmilk. She had rice cereal for the first time on Nov. 1st. It was hilarous. She tried to suck on the spoon, and there was a total mess! I think she liked it.

Billy bought Madi some camouflage overalls and she modeled them for us. I think they are ridiculous, but Madi and Billy like them!!:) Also, the other pic is her with her Halloween candy all over her face.

Trick or Treat!!!

We had a fun night trick or treating. Billy is taking all the pics, that is why he is not in them. They were so patient posing for pics. Aren't they adorable! Madi had a ball, got lots of candy, and got to see her friends Ali and Lucas. I should have gotten a pic of all of them together, but we were all kinda fried by then and I didn't think of it.

These are the next day. I just had to put the bow back on Bella, it was way too cute.

Halloween Fun at Schnepf Farms!!

We took this before we left for Schnepf Farms. It is hard to coordinate an infant, a toddler, and of course Madi!! There are several shots. This is one of the best, at least they are all looking. Bella is losing patience, though.

We spent Halloween day at Schnepf Farms. It was a great day. All the babies were there. Madi, Embrie, Alivia and Bella. Aren't they cute.

Look at that beautiful face !!!

Papa and Madi with their suckers.

Have Your Cookie & Eat It Too!

Here we are at our Girly Girlz playdate decorating Halloween cookies. I think we both ate several of them!! :)

A Night with the Girly Girlz

We spent a night with our play group, the Girly Girlz. We had fun decorating cupcakes and eating them!!

A quick pic before we left, to get athe girls in their matching bows.

Dad had to get in on the action.

Me and Bella Boo.

Daddy and Me

Billy took this pic of him and Bella. Look how blue her eyes are!!! We both love this pic, just wanted to share it.

Happy 25th Anniversary Tom and Pam!!

The girls (Alyssa, Erica, and Gina) planned a surprise 25th Anniversary party for Pam and Tom. Here are the pics I took of the night. It was fun. They were pretty surprised. Tom stuck his tongue out at us when we all yelled surprise!! Madi hammed it up as usual, and it was good to see everyone:)

And now on Vault from Team USA Madilyn Rose!!!

Madi started gymnastics in August. She loves it and is doing really well. She goes to class for 45 min. once a week. She cannot hold her attention any longer than that!! :) She is learning the beginning basics such as forward and backward roll, cartwheel, balance beam, bars, and they even have a makeshift vault. At the end the teachers usually set up a bouncy house for the kids to jump on. When class is over they get a sticker or piece of licorice. I think that is her favorite part. :)

Miss Bella the Cutie!!

I had to make a collage of Bella too. She is so cute!! Though you can't tell in these pics, she is always smiling. She has a big cheesy grin. She likes to talk, really loud I might add, alot now. She also loves to suck on her toes and she is a maniac when you put her on the floor, she rolls all over the place.

Madi being Madi!!!

These are just some pics of Madi hamming it up. She is so good at that. In the big one, Billy found a little radio and some headphones. She was so excited. She walked around the house dancing and singing.
