Of course we will live to regret it!




But what ever makes Madi (and Grandpa) happy is worth the cost!!

The Washington Baby..




Hailey is the only one of my children that was born here in Washington, she is also the only one of my girls who would willingly ride a wet muddy horse in the rain for lack of anything better to do! Her friend is obviously a Washington baby too....

How to Spoil Your Favorite Grand Daughter!






It's OK to say that when there is only 1! Last night Lindsay, Jake and Madi came over for dinner. Grandpa was in charge of dessert, among other things, anyway he went to Baskin Robins and got this yummy ice cream cake! He thought of the saying all by himself! The kids all just rolled their eyes, perhaps a little envious, eh?? Well, Madi thought it was a great idea! So we let her have the first bite. :)

Merry Christmas 2008 & Happy New Year!






















OK, so it's been a pretty long time since I have posted. I honestly don't know where the time goes.. We had a wonderful Christmas with everyone that was here but really missed those who weren't! Hopefully next year we will all be together. Madi really enjoyed the whole present thing even if it meant getting up a bit earlier than usual. Christmas Eve was pretty quiet, we watched a movie and played "Santa" after Madi went to bed. Christmas morning was fun, we all got up had coffee and opened presents. In the afternoon the Murphy's and Grandma & Papa joined us despite the snow and road conditions. We had a wonderful dinner with Prime Rib that was pretty perfect and opened our gift exchange gifts. Everyone had a great time and like that it was over! On Saturday after Christmas Mom, Lee, Hailey and I all drove down to see Kelsey, she looked great and seemed to be doing really well. She is coming home this Sunday and we are planning on going shopping to exchange some of her Christmas stuff. New Years Eve was pretty quiet for us, we watched Madi so Jake and Lindsay could go out. We rarely stay up past ten o'clock anyways! Hailey stayed at a friends house to ring in the new year and we had to wait until New Years Day to say "Happy New Year!" We're lame, I know that's just the way it is :)
