Our little photo shoot

I took Madison down by the river last week with some of her friends and took their pictures! These are some of my favorites of Madison! She is getting so big. She is 16 months old now!

She loves her toothbrush!

Madison LOVES her toothbrush. She has slept with it and likes to bring it with us wherever we go! She won't let go of it!

My friends took me out to lunch for my birthday!

So I have changed from writing this blog in Madison's words to my words! It just seems easier this way. Anyways, I just celebrated my Golden Birthday ( I think that is what you call it). I turned 26 on the 26th. I usually go on a bike ride with my mom on my birthday as many miles as the age I am turning. However, this year we didn't make it 26 miles, we had Madison with us. It was a lot of fun though. The weather was so nice. We stopped and ate lunch and my dad met us there. Here is a picture of Madison and I at lunch!

Here is Madison enjoying our bike ride.

Brett and I went out to dinner and a movie later that night. We had a good time together!

Dressing up

The Women's Celebration

Every year my mom and I run in a race called the Women's Celebration. This year Brett brought Madison to cheer for us on the side lines! We waved to them as we ran by. Afterwards we enjoyed lots of food and dancing at the park.

Our Weekend away

A couple weekends ago, we left Madison with Grandma and Grandpa Hughes and took a quick trip to Seattle to see Boise State play University of Washington. Although Boise State lost the game, we still enjoyed our weekend together!

Summer bike rides

We bought this trailer at the beginning of the summer and we have enjoyed going on family bike rides with it. We rode our bikes to a park in Eagle the other night. Brett took Madison through the splash pad while we were there. She got her clothes all wet!

State Fair

Last year we took Madison to the State fair and she cried when she saw the goats at the petting zoo. This year we decided to take her back to see all the animals and she loved it! She would point at the animals and talk to them. She laughed when the goats licked her fingers. Before we left she even got brave enough to feed the goats herself!

Redfish lake

More pictures from Red fish Lake...We went with Grandma Susan, Grandpa Chad, McKay, Hailey and Connor. We had fun water skiing, riding our bikes, taking trips in the canoe, and playing on the beach.

Redfish Lake

We went to Redfish Lake with my mom's family! This is a picture my mom took of me playing in the sand. More pictures to come!

Snowbird

I went to Snowbird, Utah with my Grandma Julie, Aunt Amber and Uncle Dustin last weekend. Lots of family was there! Amber, Sydney and Brianna helped me walk and played with me in the pool.

Cousins

Some pictures of Connor and I having Fun! We went to the zoo together and a park with a baby pool. Connor tried to pull my pigtails at the park. We played with the balls that floated in the pool. We saw lots of animals at the zoo. My favorite animals were the Monkeys. I kept saying "hi" to the monkeys. We also drove the pink cart together in the grocery store! We had lots of fun!!!

Connor's First Birthday

I went to visit my cousin Connor for his First Birthday!

I tried to eat some of his cake!

I'm helping him open the present I got him!

Happy Birthday Connor!

My First Boat Trip

My First Boat Trip!

I went on the Boat with my mom and grandparents today! It was my first time on a boat. First, I watched my Grandma Susan knee board and I thought it was funny! I kept waving to her and talking to her. Then, I watched my mommy water ski and I was a little scared. I didn't like her being out in the water! I wore a blue life jacket that was just my size. I kept tipping over in it! Its hard to walk around in. My Grandpa Chad turned on the music for me so that I could dance. It was so much fun! Thanks for the fun afternoon at the Lake Grandma Susan and Grandpa Chad!

The Oregon Coast

Our Trip to the Oregon Coast

Last week we went to Oregon Coast. It was windy! I had fun playing in the sand, watching the kites fly and listening to the ocean.

It was so beautiful!

A Sand Castle!

My mom and me. She loves the Oregon Coast!

Friends

Our friends Kendall and Elise came to Boise to visit! We spent the day shopping down town. You can't see Elise in the picture because she fell asleep! It was a long day of shopping! We loved seeing them!
