Thanksgiving!

Last night was Madison's first thanksgiving at grandpa and grandma Parkers house. Dinner was delicious as always, even Madison enjoyed the regular and sweet potatoes. I ate so much food and i still wanted more. After supper we all went on a walk to the park and grandpa put Madison in the swing, she LOVED it! she was laughing and kicking her legs, someone took a video of it and needs to send that to me please.

Madison has learned so much more in that past month or so, she doesn't crawl yet but pushes herself backwards around the living room with her hands. I bought her a toothbrush since she now has 5 teeth! but i never have to brush her teeth because she does it all on her own. she gets frustrated when she sees you doing something that she can't because she is in such a rush to grow up. When you hold her hands while she is standing she tries to shake you off so she can go on her own, but she doesn't have the balance yet.

We have also moved into our new place and absolutely love it! It is a million times better than our old place, no mice or mice poop, no ticks in Maddy's crib, no porcupines or badgers outside, oh and when we were packing we found a dead mouse in one of the bedrooms covered in maggots, thats right maggots! gross!!! but at least our water is now reliable all the time, same with the power. We don't have to deal with the crazy big snow banks that cover our car. and the only animals in our new place are fish. oh and we now have internet and t.v! things we couldn't get at our old place.

Right now life is good, i have a healthy baby girl, a wonderful boyfriend that goes to work every day and takes such good care of us, a beautiful home, and everything else that makes my life a million times less stressful. This thanksgiving i have a lot to be thankful for.

SHAY RIGGIN

Meet Shay!!

she is my stepsister and thinks she is just so cool as you can tell from this picture.

Don't you just think she is so beautiful at her best.

Shay cant do a lot of things due to being short, like getting stuff off the shelf (any shelf) or getting things out of my hands when i hold them above my head, she cant see many things in a crowed or run very fast, and my baby is almost as big as here, But she sure can take a wonderful grad picture.

So ya this is shay, again she is my stepsister, there is no blood relation so thank goodne

ss my family wont get her photogenic quality's.

But still we have fun together!

It has been forever since i have writen a blog, and so much has happend since my last post. Madison has grown so much, she is rolling over, standing if you balance her, cooing all the time, grabs her toys, puts everything in her mouth, eats with a spoon and loves carrots.

New years

For new years I went out with Brent, Bryan, and my mom. We ended up going to a local bar that wasnt to busy and just hung out. By 1 oclock i was soooo tired and just wanted to go to bed so of course on the way home we had to stop in at burger king and get chicken sandwiches, sooo good.

Im so excited for this new year, for one thing im going to become a mom!!! Its all i think about now, Brent says all i do is feel my belly and watch it move, but thats because our baby girl is in there and i just cant believe she will be here in two months!! This year is deffidently going to be very busy but a lot of fun. I really want to get a video camera as soon as i can so i cant get lots of video of our babys first year of life. I cant wait to not be pregnant anymore, im so tired of being sick and now im out of pills so its about to get a lot worse :(

christmas

I had a very nice christmas this year. Brent and i were able to make it to both my mom and dads on christmas day, and received some really awesome gifts. we absolutly love our new toaster oven and our george forman grill, and cant wait to use the baby blanket kristy made us. We would have loved to be able to travel to Brents parents for christmas but it just wasnt working out with money and work. But we did recieve a package from them and loved everything we got!! I love using my cuddlebug and cant wait to scrapbook my babys pictures.
