It snowed for the first time on Tuesday and Madison loved it. She kept pointing outside and saying 'snow'. We went to the community center for a play date and Madison played. She loves to walk in it and just squeals in delight.

THE GOOFY GIRL!

 

We wore these on Halloween and Madison enjoys putting them on and having us laugh. She is so much fun especially at night when Daddy comes home. She becomes this hyper, full of life child the second daddy walks through the door. He makes her goofy!

GILE MOUNTAIN

 

 

 

Here is a view from the top looking down and looking out.

 

 

 

 

Brian has this weekend off and so we decided to take advantage of that and go on a morning hike. It was colder than we thought and once we got near the top there was snow. Madison climbed almost to the top of the fire tower (if you have been you would know that is high). She loved it and cried when we had to head back down the mountain. She was so independant and wanted to walk as much of the trail by herself as she could. She felt so big and would get the biggest smile of accomplishment on her face every once in a while. It was a fun activity for all of us!

Princess at Dartmouth

 

Isn't she just a doll? I want to eat her up with those plump cheeks and adorable face. I love motherhood and having Madison for a daughter!

Trip to Dartmouth

 

 

 

 

Madison and I went up to Dartmouth College and took a bunch of photos and then I practiced my photoshop on them and here they are. Madison just played while I followed her and snapped pictures. We had fun together...we both got to play!

Madison's Kitty Costume:-)

 

Madison was a Lion for Halloween, but we told her she was a kitty because she loves kitty's and was meowing all the time in the costume. This picture was taken at our ward Halloween party. I took it with Britta's set up. She does this for free on Halloween. I'll post our family picture as soon as we get that!

Pumpkin Carving FHE

 
 
Madison wanted to carve her own after watching Brian cut the top off of his big pumkin. She just sat down on her own and started to carve her baby pumpkin.
 
She was very interested in what daddy was doing.
 
It took a bit of coaxing her to put her hand in the pumpkin and pull out the insides, but she was all about it once she began. As you can see we had to strip her down. Pumpkin guts get everywhere:-) Brian was feeling right at home cutting into the pumpkin after his first day of surgery rotation. He really enjoyed it and got to scrub in for one of the surgeries that day and work with two Residents we know from church.

Grandma Visit in Sept.-Oct.

 

 

 

 

Madison and Grandma are picking apples in the Riverview Farms apple orchard. Madison loved having Grandma here and even called her 'momma' most of the time:-)

I don't know what the other pictures are about...just Madison being silly.

Mansions Everywhere!

 

 

 

 

Rhode Island Trip

 

 

 

 

We walked the cliff walk where you walk along the ocean cliff and on the other side of you are mansions you can look at. We had a blast. Our friends had a timeshare there and invited us to go with them. Madison loved the ocean!

Emergency Room Experience

 

This happened Saturday night during conference. Madison fell down three stairs and hit her had on the baseboard at the bottom. We spent 2 1/2 hours in the ER for them to clean it up and glue it shut.

Halloween Photoshoot!

 

It didn't start out very promising, but then daddy came to the rescue and we were able to salvage the shoot:)

 

 

 

She is so funny...she is such a joy. We had to run out and get these pictures because the mower man came and was going to get rid of all the leaves. They waited for us to finish!
