mr. and mrs. madden

As many of you know, my sister got married on New Years Eve. They started a blog to keep in contact with friends and family, in order to share pictures and tell of their adventures! You can follow them here...

oh boy.

I guess it's funny to fart while sitting on your mom's lap...funny kid. =)

sibling love

Harper has actually been sooo good lately! I dont' want to jinx it ;) but the older she gets, and as she's on the brink of saying more than just mama and dada, Cole has just loved playing with her!

We also just got our patio repaved, so we've been doing a lot of sunbathing lately... ;) Can't wait for summertime!!

christmas morning

This year, we got to wake up on Christmas morning in our own house, with just our sweet little family. It was very special, and I hope it's the first of many. We had lots of fun gifts, although I'm reminded every year that the $1 toy bins at Target are the winning choices...

I'm also vowing to update my blog ALL the time now, because my sweet sister Erin married (on New Years Eve) an amazing 'Irish-mun' and is now living in Belfast. So, as bittersweet as it was to say goodbye, all you blog folk are in for a treat, as my postings will most likely triple in her honor. We miss her terribly but are so excited to hear of all their adventures, as they are now a family of their own. We love you Auntie Erin and Uncle Niall!!!! =)

my three kids...

Well, our third child (the dog) has been quite a handful lately. Most days I want to get rid of him, but don't often say it outloud, as we've had a few tears from Cole about how he loves Dax so much and Mommy is SOOO mean. ;) But all in all, Dax is a great dog, and I can't imagine our crazy family without him.

seven years

of wedded bliss! =) Happy Anniversary sweets!

just a day at the beach...

in December! They bulldoze Carp state beach in the winter, and every year it provides us with hours of entertainment!
