Big Sky

Yeah, so I am a bit behind. These are just a few of my favorites from our weekend at Big Sky Ski Resort a few weekends ago. It was a very special weekend because Maddi got to meet Cooper for the first time (oh and Tomo and Abby too). Her "Uncle" Ryan also flew in all the way from California. It was awesome to have the gang back together again. Though none of them are as willing to admit it (or shed a tear about it) as I am, it's been hard since everyone is going their separate ways and moving all over the country. We did a lot of discussing about what our next gathering would be... we're not sure yet, but I think we all agreed that we need somewhere sunny with water!!!

I loved watching Maddi interact with everyone... She and Cooper are sure to be friends from now till the end of time (like the rest of us) and as someone else pointed out... with "uncles" like Brandon, Chris, Ryan and Tomo... look out boys of the future!!!

Seattle fun!

Ferndale WA: Super 8: 3 Kids: 3 Adults= FUN FUN FUN FUN FUN

Tyler and I made a trip to "Seattle" to see Guela (tyler's grandmother). Friday, we loaded up the car from Ty's parents house to start the 3 hour journey to Ferndale WA... and when I say loaded, I mean loaded. Not one more thing would have fit even if we wanted it to! Anyway... we made a pit stop in Seattle to see Frankie (Tyler's brother)~he's the newest "BEAN SLINGER" at the original Starbucks on Pike Street! We also had some of the worlds best macaroni at Beecher's! After that, we hopped back in the car for the other 2 hours of the drive. Finally we made it! We've been having lots fun! We got to spend a lot of time with Guela so far! The kids have been having a blast in the pool! Tonight it's dinner and margaritas (more margaritas than dinner) with Guela at a Chihuahua's mexican restaurant.

Let the fun begin!

Do you see what I see?

Yes... if you can look past the toast, you will see the beginning evidence of two little teeth making their way up and out! Maddi has been a trooper about getting these little chompers and so far she hasn't chomped on anything too inappropriate...YET. She has been a little stubborn about showing them to us though.... the only way I got this pic was to get her to laugh at me by doing something ridiculous. I think she was just trying to save the viewing until they were all the way ready! Just waiting for some more so she can start experiencing more and more food... like Girl Scout Cookies! Wait, I'm not sure I am ready to share those!

That tongue!

Maddi loves her tongue. She sticks it out at pretty much any chance she can get. She loves saying "la la la"... but her tongue has to be hanging half way out of her mouth when she does it! Just thought I would show a few of these moments.
