We LOVE bath time!

MAdeline has started to feed herself; therefore, We LOVE
BathTIME!!! We still bathe her in our sink...

But she is kind of outgrowing it! ha ha!

Oooooh, I LOVE this face!

Christmas! 2008

Here is what our little house looked like Christmas morning!

Merry Christmas!
(Madeline was really happy have her picture taken!)

She loved the Cabbage Patch Doll that Grandma Becky gave her!

I had a Teddy Ruxpen when I was little! (that is the bear on the left,
for those of you who don't know what that is! Costco had them!)

Here's Dad recording Madeline opening her gifts!

We gave her this little remote control doggy and it was
the BEST gift we could have given her!
She LOVESSS IT!
Here she is giving kisses!

And here she is giving Hugs!

This is actually the first time she saw it~ the pictures are a little out of order!
She started squealing when she saw it!

This is Christmas Eve at my parent's house. The girls have
on their new pajamas from Grandma and Grandpa Palmer!

Cam and Danielle (my bro and sis-in-law) got a new puppy!
Madeline, well, LOVED that too!

Dave took this picture! Cute huh?! She loves to play the piano!
(I don't know where she got that from! :)

AND this is us obviously putting UP the lights (sorry the pics are out of order)

how fascinating!

She's Such a GiRl

I absolutely LOVE this picture of her...
I know that she is in front of the garbage and
next to her Diaper Champ, BUT, it still makes
me smile!!!

I left the room and found her playing with
Mommy's nylons.

She just couldn't quite figure out how to put them
on... but she tried...

...and tried!

This is just another one of the pictures that I smile at.
She is trying to make the iPod work.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY MADELINE!

This is my darling babysitter, Paige, who helped me set up for the party!

Here are some of our first guests!
I LOVE that Adam and Miyo stopped by!

Here are the little party people!
(Eliza and Austin)

...and more!
(Cloee and Sadie)

Here are our darling friends! Thanks for
coming guys!

Our fam!
(Dave's mom, my mom, Cloee and Courtney)

Sarah and Me

Okay, so this was the moment that I had been waiting for...
as well as everybody else that was there...
She started out great!

She was excited about the Tinkerbell on the top...

...but she REALLY didn't like the messy frosting!

This is our FAVORITE picture of the whole night! ha ha

Here is uncle DJ

Madeline LOVED opening presents!
Thanks for all the gifts!

Here are some more party people! :)
(Isaac, Jenny and Andrew)

This is the aftermath of the party!

And this is the "afterbath" of the party!
She cuddled with Daddy!
(Something she RARELY did up to this point!)

We LOVE Daddy

This was taken last Sunday night at my grandmas! I sure love it!
They don't look alike at all do they?! :) It's times like these that I am so glad I carry my
little camera in my diaper bag!

Honestly, where does the time go? Madeline is almost a YEAR OLD!!! I can't believe it!

They love to play together! Dave was playing "horsey, horsey..." she giggles the whole time!

Gardens After Dark

While I'm totally blogging backwards I figured that I would put this in too... we went to Red Butte to see
their "Gardens After Dark" They painted Madeline's face for her!

Here is Miyo, Maurea and Brian!

This is Madeline under the black lights!!! Cool huh?!

This was just a fun picture of the gardens and the reflections...

I'm totally blogging backwards!

This is Madeline's Halloween costume! (minus the glasses... those were grandma geegees)

This is our little white Tiger! We chose it because Madeline LOVES her little stuffed animal that
is a white tiger... We trick or treated at both grandparents' homes then came home to bed! It's amazing how
Halloween changes over the years! It was so fun though!!!

Here is Grandma GeeGee (Gray) and Grandma Barb. We are so grateful to have them both around!
(Dave's grandmas)

This is us at my mom and dad's house! If you look closely you can see the white tiger I was talking about on the
floor by Dave's feet! She was more interested in the monster that Becky gave her that night than her tiger!
Do any of you girls remember this wig? When we dressed up as colors of the rainbow one year?!
