Another Wisconsin Visit

Jake had to go to San Antonio for some training the first week of Feb. so Maddie and I headed north to see family. She again had a great time playing with her cousins, seeing aunts and uncles and of courses seeing Grandma and Bumpa. Is was a nice visit, we both missed her daddy.

Hanging With Daddy

Jake has had a lot of time off over the last month which has given him and Maddie a great chance to hang out. With all the snow we have gotten out here, we tend to stay inside more than normal. The other day she had a donut for breakfast with daddy and then played Zelda with him. It was so cute seeing them together.

More Christmas Pictures

Here are some more pictures from our wonderful Christmas in Wisconsin.

Christmas 2006 In Wisconsin

We had a wonderful trip to Wisconsin for Christmas this year. My family loved seeing Madison and were amazed at how big she has gotten. She had a blast playing with her Bumpa and two nephews, Trace and Anthony. They showed her lots of new tricks and introduced her to many new foods...including donuts and cinnamon rolls, which she loved! We had a nice time just relaxing and spending time with family. Here are some pics from the week.

Our Big News

(look at Maddie's t-shirt)

Say Cheese

She is so sweet and so beautiful...we love our little girl. She is 13 months and growing so fast.

Scared Of Santa

We took Maddie to see Santa this year and she was not a big fan. She was terrified of him and screamed her head off the whole time she was near him. It was quite a bit different than last year when she just slept in his arms.

Early Christmas Gifts

Maddie has been given a few really nice christmas gifts so far. She has received two beautiful outfits from family. She was given a "bounce and spin zebra" by Grandma and Grandpa Kitson which she loves. She goes crazy on it. She was also given a very cute little rocking horse by our good friends, the Ross'. She loves to push on its ears so it talks to her. We are getting very excited for Christmas, it will be great watching Maddie's reaction to all the chaos.

Petting Zoo

We took Maddie to a petting zoo here on post and she loved looking at the animals. She even got to ride a pony and touch some chickens.

Swimming At The YMCA

We took Maddie swimming at the YMCA for a friend's birthday party. She loves the water and had a great time until her lips started turned blue.

Our Babydoll Is 13 Months Old

She is geting so big and she has so much personality. She is starting to talk a lot more saying words like dog, duck, bug, light, bottle, night-night, and her babble that sounds like full sentences in a different language. She is a little sweetheart and we have a blast just watching her play...what an imagination!

First Time In The Snow

We had a pretty good snow storm here on November 29th. We got about 6 inches and it was freezing cold outside. Maddie kept pointing at it saying "ice, ice" so I had to let her play in it. We got her all bundled up and let her experience her first big snow storm. She had a great time!

The Kitson's Visit

Jake's parents and brother came to visit us for thanksgiving this year. We had a really nice visit and Maddie loved them being here. We did a lot of fun things outside like Garden of the Gods, and Helen Hunt Falls, but the majority of our time was spent just hanging out. Maddie really enjoyed spending time with her grandma and grandpa and uncle Jamie. It was a wonderful visit and we look forward to their next visit.

Thanksgiving At The Ross'

We had a wonderful Thanksgiving and the Ross Family home. It was a whole housefull with lots of babies and great food. DeeDee fixed a feast that was incredible and Jake had a great time hanging out with his good friends Matt and Chris. Maddie got to know their little ones and had a great time playing with them. It was a great holiday with Jake's family in town...they spoiled Maddie rotten and she loved having them around.
