Bigger sucker

Playing

Here are a few shots of the kids playing last night. We have Stephen in a box with some help from cousin Caleb and the Stephen and Makaylah grooming some ponies.

Suckers and mark the day!

Ah, children and suckers...what a mess! Madison cut her 8th tooth yesterday 7/23/09. That's 4 on the top and 4 on the bottom. No more teeth...that's all she needs!

Swing!!!!!!!!

I can walk!

Well I guess the video portion is working again...technology(grrr). Here is a video of Madison walking with a wagon. Enjoy!

Oh yes I can!

I have been trying for the longest time to get Madison to hold her own bottle and drink by herself. I was beginning to give up until she snuck this in! Little stinker!!

More fireworks fun!

A couple more pictures of fireworks fun. Stephen played some kick ball with the older boys and Madison was chilling on the blanket.

4th Festivities

Some pictures of Sunday's fireworks activities. Stephen said the fireworks were too loud so he sat in the Suburban for most of them. Madison made it about half way through and got hot so I put her in the burban too. No crying from her though.

Chocolate milk and popsicles

Here we have a couple new adventures. Madison drinking choc milk from a sippie. She only took a couple of drinks. Then the kids ate some popsicles. Stephen only took a bite, but I bet if we kept feeding Madison she would have gone right on and finished it all. Also, Stephen with one of the many fireworks we bought to shoot off. He looks determined doesn't he?!

Interesting Thoughts

Interesting coming from a three year old...he tells me this morning that when he poops it comes out of his nose! Now that would be something new:) lol Also another mark the day. Thursday 7/2/09 Madison said da da. So cute because she did it with a smile on her face. Daddy was so excited. She also ate some toddler cheese doodles today(kinda like cheese puffs for kids). She loved them. Took bits and everything.
Fireworks were a bust last night because it was raining so we are doing them tonight. Hopefully everyone likes them. We will try to take some photos.
Final thought...I am having trouble posting any pictures or videos and can't find anyone to help me figure out why. As soon as I figure out the problem, there will be plenty to look at:)

Ah changes...

Another mark the day...Madison now has 7 teeth. She's got another top tooth to add to the collection. Another one is on the way. Just a matter of time before it makes an appearance. She is popping teeth like crazy. Next comes walking! She is getting a little better with the sippy cup, but hasn't quite mastered it yet. She's almost there.
Let's talk Stephen...he is better at the sitters. Been good for the past week and a half. He has a small problem with not sharing and not being shared with, but the sitter has mercifully worked that out. On the better side of news...he has stayed asleep all night for almost a week now! Jeez...about time! How old is he...3 1/2! Way to go big man!! Madison on the other hand...yeah right...I don't get that lucky!
