Bowling!

Just wanted to share a few more bowling pics because Maddi had so much fun!!

Where in the world is Maddi Cisneros?

Okay, so it has been MONTHS since we've posted anything! No real excuse unless you counting hospital visits, moving, holidays with the family, buying a new house and unpacking, oh and how could I forget putting in an entire new back yard! We left Montana in October and finally got settled into our new house at the beginning of December. We have had lots of fun and sunny days since we got here, but today is drab and rainy which inspired me to become a "blogger" once again!

Today we took Maddi bowling for her first time. She was a little leery at first because of all the loud sounds that the balls and pins make, but soon she settled right in. Every time we would push the ball down the lane, she would either clap or say "Again?" She seemed to love it! I think she might be a natural like her Auntie Brianna… her 1st score was almost the same~ 61!

Another first for Maddi since we've been here in CALI is the BEACH! And she is a natural at that for sure! She has a perfect mix of her "moms" and dad in her! She likes to sit in the sand and play like her mom and she likes to be in the freezing cold water like her daddy! (They are crazy)

Okay, so I guess that is enough of an update for now! We'll be doing lots more and experiencing many more first throughout the next couple of years…. uh hello Disneyland!!! But I'll try to post more between now and then : 0

Fairmont Hot Springs

Last Christmas, Tyler and I won "The Newlywed Game" at a party... and our prize was a free night at Fairmont Hot Springs! With less than three weeks left in Montana, we decided that we should probably use it!!!

It was a beautiful day when we got there... so of course Maddi wanted to play outside and pet the animals. Then we hit the pool! She had a blast and the water was WARM!

We hit the pool again in the morning and even ventured the water slide! It took her a few times to warm up to the idea of the slide, but loved it by the end.

Not even 10 minutes out of the hotel... and she was OUT!!! We had a great weekend!!!!!

Now... about that packing!

Gibson Park

All Great Falls "locals" know that if you have stale, left-over bread the thing to do is take it down to Gibson Park and let the birds fight over it! We decided we'd take Maddi down for her first "big girl" time there. ( She went when she was much smaller... and would have just eaten the bread herself) This time though, she was pretty enthralled when she saw all the birds. Daddy had to help her feed them; Mommy was scared they were going to mistake her toes for sausages! Maddi and Tyler broke the bread into tiny pieces and fed it to the birds... Maddi loved it! The birds there are pretty brave and come right up to you, so she didn't really even have to "throw" it as much as just drop it!

After a little while with the birds, we went over the the park they have there. Maddi has become quite skilled at sliding and swinging!
