grandpa's motorcycle



Gregs brother Brian and his wife came for a little visit. We haven't seen them in 3 years! Brian decided that Maddie needed to ride the motorcycle so I snapped some pics. I think everyone in his family has a picture on a motorcycle so I guess it was time for Maddie. She sure liked it!

Christmas with the Ellison




This Christmas was so fun with Maddie even though I knew she wouldn't know what was going on. But she loved having everyone around to play with. She is such an attention junkie. Well Christmas Eve we stayed at my moms house and opened PJ's and watched a movie. We woke up at 8 to open presents, ate some breakfast and then headed down to Greg's parents to talk to Thomas and do Christmas with them. I will have to do another post about his family becasue we couldn't find our camera to take pics. So I will have to get them from Grandpa. Until then enjoy these beauties and don't look at the fat lady behind Maddie. Its me and its SCARY!!!!!!

Maddie loved the paper. She didn't need presents!


Easton opened his mom and dads card to find money. He was all sorts of excited. To bad it wasn't his.


Maddie just being her cute self watching all the craziness.


Easton got two boxes of band aids and a package of tape. He has this obsession with them. Kallie says they are all over and when you really need some Easton has used them all.


Maddies first doll from grandma. She loves this thing. She likes to eat her head. Poor dolly.


Cool Martin in his truck jammies hanging out!


Cody got this awesome snowboard from Clint and Katlin. Now that face shows some excitement!


Cole got ski boots from Clint and Katlin. He was soooo happy but you wouldn't know it from this picture.

Grandpa Bob and Grandma Oni


This little guy opened everyone's PJ's on Christmas eve. He was so excited!! I have to tell you a Christmas story about this little guy. He is so FUNNY and I don't want to forget some of the cazy stuff he says.

Kallie said: "Easton do you know what I asked Santa to bring me this year? I want you to be a big boy and be potty trained."

Easton says: " Well I asked Santa to bring me diapers mom!!"

I love this little boy and I can't wait to see him and his family soon.

HOPE EVERYONE HAD A VERY MERRY CHRISTMAS!!!!

Today was one of those days........

I kept thinking today how we ever want more children. I love Maddie to death but some days she really test my patience. She has not slept well for the last 4 nights. Usually waking up every two hours for one reason or another. Then at 6 she wants to be up for the day. Now I usually don't mind but I have had a cold and horrible cough for two weeks now and I just don't feel great. So not getting any sleep is not helping me at all. Today all she wanted to do is be held. Which most days I don't mind snuggling with her. But again I haven't felt well so the house has been put on hold. I really needed to get some stuff done today because tomorrow we are heading down to my parents for birthday dinner. NOTHING was getting done!!! She wouldn't take a nap and just cried every time I put her down. I thought maybe she isn't feeling well but nothing seems to be bothering her. I FINALLY FINALLY got her to sleep at 4:30 and she slept until almost 6. Which for her is a big nap! We are lucky if we get 2 half hour naps in a day. I finally got one load of laundry done and a much needed shower!! Anyway, she woke up so happy and ready to play! I just wish she would not fight sleep so bad! She is much easier to deal with when she sleeps all night and gets good naps. So here are some pictures after her nap and its hard to stay mad at her when she is this stinking cute! So, I guess more kids don't sound so bad after all!

Push ups anyone?

I am how old and I can only do like 10 push ups! Not my baby! She does them all day long. Instead of getting into the crawling position this is what she does.........................
She also can tell me NOOO!! You try to give her something that she doesn't want and she shakes her head back and forth and pushes you away. This is bad people! She is so crazy sometimes but I still love her oh so much!

This past two weeks has been a whirl wind for me. So much has happened and I haven't had time to do a whole lot. That will change this week. We finally got moved into our new place and I really love it up here in the middle of no where. I love looking out my window to see cow pastures, horses, and mountains. I love driving down the road and people you don't know wave at you. I finally feel at home!

Well back to what I came to tell you about. Two Christmas miracles I would say. First my cousin Marti and Her hubby Jerm had a baby girl last Friday. She came a little early (5 weeks I think) and she is pretty darn healthy! She weighed in at 4 lbs 7 oz and 16.1 in long. She just needs to gain some weight so she can come home. These two have tried to have a baby for 2 years now and had quite a few bumps along the way. Marti is probably one of the strongest people I know and is always looking at the positive. I can't even imagine what they have been through especially now with a little baby myself. I don't think I would have handled it as well as her. I look up to her for it. She has taught me a lot even if she thinks she hasn't. So thank you Marti. You two deserve the very best and that little angel of yours is truly beautiful. Pics to come soon!

Next is me friends that I have been donating my proceeds to. I got a call yesterday telling me that they were on there way to pick up a brand new baby boy! I can't believe it! They sent me a pic on my phone and he is so precious. They looked so happy. Their family is complete this Christmas season. I can't wait to see this little bundle and tell them congrats! I hope she will let me share some pictures with you soon.

Well speaking of babies..... mine is telling me to get off the computer and come take care of her. So until next time....... but first enjoy some pictures. This is Maddie's fav place to hang these days. She could sit here for hours.
