Watch out - she's on the move!

Madelynn took her first steps on Friday night! We took some video of it on our camera tonight so we could put it out for everyone to see. Her record now is four steps before falling down...her balance gets better each time! Its too cute because she thinks its histerical when she walks...she laughs and giggles the whole entire time. You can hear a little of it on the video. She'll be walking in no time!!!

Fun With Cousins...

Yes, she is holding a light saber - here we go...

Madelynn LOVES her cousins!! These are some pictures from last month when Cindy and Matt took Rylee & Rusty & Madi to the Zoo and from when Brody & Ella were with us last week. Every day since Brody & Ella were here Madelynn calls for them when she wakes up..."Aya, Dee Dee..." Its too cute.

Happy Father's Day!

Some pics from Madi and Daddy opening his presents...she totally cheeses for the camera every time I get it out...its so cute!

Haley's Open House

Her cake was so pretty - she enjoys horseback riding and playing the piano.

Looking pretty out by her tent.

Posing with mom while opening her gifts.

The boys taking apart the tent after the wind ripped it out of the ground. They had to brave the hail and lightening!!!

It was SO HOT AND HUMID! Madi enjoyed sucking her thumb with the fan blowing on her.

Spending some time with cousin Zoe...

and cousin Austin. Aren't they so cute sharing!!??

Last weekend we celebrated Haley's graduation with an open house. Unfortunately, this was the same day that one of the terrible storms rolled through Hastings...in those pictures of the boys taking apart the tent it was terrential rain fall and hail!! Despite the rain, which did hold off until the last hour of the open house, she really enjoyed seeing everyone and sharing with them her plans for the future. We're so proud of all she's accomplished!! This week her and my parents are in NYC - a special trip that Haley has always dreamed of. She's having a blast!!

Happy Birthday Madelynn!!

Here are some pictures from Madelynn's first birthday party. Thanks to everyone who was able to come and for all of the wonderful gifts. She was very spoiled!!!
