Madison and her Jumper and 1st Bit of Food

Thank you Aunt Tammy, Uncle Paul, Cousins Pate's and Ziegler's for her bouncer. She absolutely loves it. I don't know what we would be doing with this baby if we didn't have it. She can last about 30 min at a time, jumping and playing with the toys.

It is so cool to see her interacting with her environment. She is teething though, so everything is in the drool zone. I am doing laundry constantly.





Here is Madison taking her first few bites of carrots. It took her a while to get the idea of food. She would spit out just about every effort of food that went in. Finally, Daddy realize that if we put the food up to her lips, she'd slurp it. Then finally, she began swallowing. She is much better now. So far we've eaten carrots, green beans, sweet potato, and today we are starting peas. Yeah. By the way, did you know that what a baby eats, that becomes the color of their poop. Nice.

Martha and New Bo.

Here is Martha's new boyfriend J.R.. Sounds like Dallas. He is really nice and is a good match for her. I hope it works out. Keep them in your prayers. By the way, that's our new living room. Yeah!!!

The 80's Birthday Party for Patty !!

Here is Corey and I dressed to impress at an 80's prom. Originally, we weren't going to dress, then when I saw what our friends and neighbors, Hank and Jill were wearing, I jumped in the car and drove to the local thrift shop. There, with only a few hours to waste, I found this lovely 80's formal dress and shirt and wig for Corey. I still had a crimper from when I was a young girl, so we were set.
This is Patty, completely surprised about the whole event. She only received a letter that week about picking out a dress from a group of dresses and being ready that coming Sat night for dinner. Since she missed her senior prom the first time, friends through her a surprise prom for her birthday. She was the prom queen.

Here is Mac Daddy Corey at the mic. It is a good thing we don't have one of these karaoke machines of our own.

Oh, yeah. He was the 80's rocker if you didn't guess.

Hausner Family

This is Madison's Great Aunt Sandy. She is my Father's brother's wife. They visited us one weekend, and it was a nice treat. It has been years since we've all been together, and they wanted to meet Madison. We all went to Mimi's Cafe for brunch, and visited for hours.

This is Aunt Sandy and Uncle Terry. He is my father's brother.

Just for Leah...and Heather

These pictures are for Aunt Leah, so that she could see how cute Madison looked in the cloths she bought her. I had these cloths at home during our trip because I thought they'd be too big, however this baby is a grower. She is well over 14lbs already and is 25" long. Therefore, she is wearing 6mo.-9mo. clothing. Crazy...she's not even 4mo yet.

Here is my cousin Heather with Madison from our trip.

Here is Joshua and his beautiful blue eyes.
And the happy family that was with us at Creator Lake

The rest of our Summer Trip

On our way from Wallowa Lake and onto Vancouver WA so see cousin Ron. As you drive west you pass Multnomah Falls. It was increadible how this thing is right by a major freeway. I can only imagin that tourist have accidents trying to rubber neck while driving by. There is a parking lot and rest stop in the middle of the highway.

Here we are at Creator Lake, OR. It was cool and beautiful. We viewed the lake at about 1ooo feet above. We were only their for a day so we didn't take a tour. Next time.

I am holding Joshua Ankney, my cousin's 7mo old. He is the happiest baby I have ever met. He also has the most beautiful eyes ever seen.

Here I am holding Madison at Hearst Castle in CA. We stayed in San Siemon for a few days and enjoyed the cool weather before heading home to the heat.
Cassidy loves the water. Even the ocean. We thought she'd head out to swim, but the waves kinda made her nervous. So she stayed on the shore.

The Men and Madison

Here is Grandpa Moon getting ready to feed Madison. Here he is talking to her. She is so fascinated by him.

Here is Daddy and Madison sitting by the fire together. How cute.

Madison's first time at the lake and feeling the water. She wasn't in a great mood that afternoon, but she loves water.

Who's the binki for? Daddy or Madison??
