Just had to post one more time to celebrate.. um ok gloat about the big Civil War game. OSU - 38
uo - 31.... (losers)
Madison had a great time cheering on the Beavs to victory... She thought the Autzen officiating crew must have forgotten their spectacles, because it seemed like they must have been blind...either way... Here's Madison rooting for the Beavs:
Who do I call about that bad call?
In the end, we were all so happy to see the Beavs win...
What number are the BEAVS?

Thanksgiving in Minneapolis was really neat. Billy Blaine, my cousin from Spokane joined us for the great eats. Dina and Madison outdid themselves with a great turkey, and a bunch of great dishes..... We had Mom and Dad here and it was great...too much food, but a really great evening.
We took Billy all around to see the sights of Minneapolis... Seeing Santa at Macy's was really fun, and the Mall of America was as always - amazing.
GIGLES!!!!
More practice walking..... always wants some help...
Help walking at Macy's
Santa, I want a _________ for Christmas (she already has her two front teeth...)
That's a belt.. yes more help trying to walk
HEY... those things MOVE!
What's with this thunder and lightning and those monkeys - The Rainforest cafe was a blast...
So, so, so much fun.. makes Madison very tired... check ou this big YAWN!!!!
and then.. it's nighty night time...

So, it's now about a week into December and I'm still catching up for NOVEMBER... but so it goes.
First, let's wrap up with more photos from Pensacolla!!!!! Dina and Madison really did have a great time... I wish I could have escaped the snow too....
More time practicing walking... but all those cracks... don't want to step on them!
Madison was having so much fun they all took her out to lunch... where do you think???
And they had lots and lots of fun... both playing and counting the dollar bills.
Then Madison was really hungry, so they ordered her some food... perhaps too much... but she said she was hungry.
I think her eyes were a bit bigger than her appetite!
See what she looked like after that huge reuben!
Probably time to play and work it all off... So they went to...where elese... Wallmart!
Then with all that food and fun, Madison was really, really tired... see what I mean?

Hi everyone... yes, it's been a while. With Dina and Madison being gone for 10 days, and the hectic time at Thanksgiving, I just got too far behind. so here's my first update about Madison and the last month or so.........Ok, so once again, it's been a while but here goes with some photos
I'm trying to walk... always with a little help... just a little....
and Daddy's always ready to catch me when I get too tired.
Can you say Trick or Treat?
You may or may not know, but Dina and Madison spent 10 days or so visiting Pensacola to avoid the winter weather up here in Minneapolis... (Didn't miss any snow, but had a great time) Here are some photos from their trip.... It was again, time for more practice walking...... see how hard she's trying (not sure if she's the one who's trying hardest or not....)
And since Madison was in Florida, it was time to practice cheering for the Gators!!!... We're a two school house OSU and UF... both schools rock, so Madison is a fan of both....
Check out those socks!!!!! Will add more from the big trip later this week.

Happy Halloween!!!!
Guess who won 4th place out of 160 at the Mall of America????
Yep... Raggedy Ann (or Raggedy Maddi)
We've been having fun, so here are some photos from Outback Steakhouse, where Madison was hamming it up, and more of her having fun around the house.... Today, she started climbing up the stairs, so I guess it's time for us to think about baby gates, or at least getting more pillows.
Be vewwy, vewwy quiet... I"m sneaking up on Mommy and Daddy and that waskally wabbit.
Yes. I went down that big blue slide... TWICE
Why don't they have a Bloomin Bottle.... ?!? That Onion thing looked yummy
Mommy, will you give me a bite?
Ok, so I'm guilty of being way too slow updating things, but with Dad's short notice stay in the hospital (he's doing fine after having some stuff cleared out of his artery)... and now that I've finished the deck (at least think I have)... I have some time to think and get things updated.
First and foremost, Madison's first Birthday - 9/27/2007, was a big hit... Grandparents, Dina and I helped Madison celebrate her big day.... We had cake, lots of presents and a bunch of fun.... So, here goes with some photos... this will be a bit long, since I"m doing catch up....
