This and That of the Last Week


Just enjoying their morning cup of milk out back.

Just enjoying their morning cartoons













Breakfast:
Mom: "Ty, do you want cereal or yogurt for breakfast?"
Ty: "hmmmmm, I want peas."
Mom: "You can't have peas for breakfast"
Ty: screams "I want peas!"

What am I thinking, what kid ever asks for peas in the first place and why would I say no to peas, why not peas for breakfast, they're healthy.



So Tyler has come around (somewhat) to liking her sister. It was so cute, all morning she wanted to hold Mads hand and take her down the slide and just play with her.

If only that would last, she was back to pushing her and taking all her toys in the afternoon.













LAKE DAY






Me wakeboarding

WAKESURFING

I love wakeboarding but the new craze is wakesurfing. If you haven't seen this it's pretty crazy. First, you start with a rope to pull you up. Your in front of the wake (so your literally 5 ft from the back of the boat, you could give high fives to the people in the boat), so once your up and your in front of the wake you toss the rope into the boat and just ride the wake, like it's a wave. It's hard to understand how you can ride behind a boat with no rope or anything pulling you, but it's just like one continuous wave that you ride as long as you want. It's pretty dang cool.



Dave has found his new favorite hobby. Since he's crippled (bad back and bad knees) this is the perfect thing for him. It's really easy on your body (it does take alot of leg muscles), and the boat is going pretty slow that you can never wipe out hard.
GO DAVE!

What Do You Think?

This is Tyler and Madix both on their first birthday. Do they look alike?


I think this one really could be either one. Who is it? Ty or Mads?


So do they look like Dave or me? Everyone says different, it's funny. But this baby picture of Dave is TOTALLY Madix!

This is the only baby picture I could find of me at the time, so I'm a little too "baby" but do they look like me?

This is so cool!

CUSTOM COLORING

I just saw this on my friend Kami's blog and have to share it because it's such a cute, fun idea! It's so easy. You just upload your picture and it formats it into a coloring page that you can just print.

Ty's not really old enough to color it, she would just scribble, but even without coloring it I think the sketch is so cute.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY MADIX!

My baby Mads is ONE today! What a joy she has brought to our family. She is so funny and makes us laugh all the time. It's crazy how much you can start to see their personalities already. She is our smiley baby, always smiling. She's also a BIG mama's girl, which I love how much she loves me and wants ME but a lot of times that's hard cause she ONLY wants me. She's been walking for 2 months (although she still falls constantly), she waves, she gives kisses, she sticks out her tongue when you ask her where her tongue is, she claps and shakes her head when you tell her to dance, and her vocabulary consists of "uh-oh", "ma, ma, ma", and "na na na", which means- no no no.
Here are a few of my favorite photos of her 1st year of life.
Happy Birthday Madix, we love you so much!
