11.24.11 - Pinball

We spent some time at Grandpa Greg's house today. He's got a cool pinball machine in his basement.

10.31.11 - Strawberry Shortcake

Maddie dressed up as Strawberry Shortcake - one of her favorite characters - for Halloween this year and struck this pose in from of Grandpa Greg's house. She likes to watch Strawberry Shortcake movies on Netflix and she's always quick to tell you if she wants to watch "a big Sortcake" or "a ittle sortcake." (That's a long movie or a shorter episode, for those of you who don't speak toddler. Nan made the outfit from a pattern Angie found on eBay and we purchased the hat separately, also off eBay.

Even though she's feeling puny, Maddie can still climb ... all the way into her shopping cart that Grandpa Greg got her for her birthday. Hey, why not?!! She rides in the carts at Target all the time!

12.27.09 - Full house

We had a great turnout for Maddie's first birthday party! Angie made a pink and yellow daisy cake to accompany a table full of snackies and punch. Maddie didn't care for the cake but ran her fingers though most all of the frosting. She even got a little in her ear! She raked in a ton of cool prizes including some new clothes, books and a shopping cart walker-rider.

All of the immediate family was able to attend including, from left to right, Aunt Tori and Uncle Brent, Grampy Keith and Gramma Karen, Grandma Nancy, Angie and Harley (duh!), Grandpa Shepherd, Uncle Tim, Grandma Shepherd, Grandpa Greg (who's holding cousin Emerson), Aunt Tessa and Nan and Pop along with a few other young aunts and cousins sitting in the corner where this image was made. To everyone who could make it and who've been so supportive of us this past year; THANK YOU FOR EVERYTHING! We've been so blessed!
