Denver

Well... from Seattle, we flew to Denver for Ty's graduation from Colorado State University. We also met up with Danny, Summer, and Brynn there! We had an awesome weekend. We got there on Thursday and were able to spend the night with a great friend that we knew from Vandenburg! The next day we got up and went to Tyler's graduation which was in Fort Collins, CO. After graduation, we headed back into Denver to meet up with Danny and Summer. The girls loved being able to play with each other. We did some shopping, eating, and the Zoo. They were so cute together! Can't wait to see Brynn again in a few weeks!!

Seattle

It has been a LONG time since I updated Maddi's blog (Sorry Ono's), but we have been pretty busy these last few weeks. Tyler's Guela passed away the first week of May, so we went back to Seattle for the funeral. We are going to miss Guela deeply and wish that Maddi could have grown up a little more so that she could realize what a great woman her Guela was. However, we know that she is hanging out with Guelo again... except when she is in the back seat making Maddi giggle ; )

Anyway, we were able to spend some great times with Tyler's whole family while we were there. It was great to be able to see everyone. We were able to get out and enjoy the nice Seattle weather a bit. Here are some of the family pics....

Maddi's 1st Birthday!

Okay... so it's a month or so, okay almost two months after Maddi's birthday and I am just now posting this! We've been busy! Busy! Busy!

Maddi's birthday was fabulous! We had an "Ugly Doll" theme! Maddi LOVES her uglies. Most of them are in her crib and when she wakes up in the morning, she talks to them, snuggles them, and on the rare occasion tosses them over the edge so they are free to roam the room!

Lots of friends and aunties and uncles came for the party! We had snacks ( and beer for the uncles), played games, and made our own UGLY dolls... they we're real cute!

Maddi had the best 1st birthday ever!!!!
