Hiking

Mike took Ryan and the dogs hiking today. Mike got a game camera for his birthday from my parents and finally got some time to go place it. Ryan had so much fun. Of course he had to wear all his gear too.

Cereal for the First Time

We gave Madison rice cereal for the first time tonight.....she hated it. She gag, made faces and flat out told me no way. Oh well, we will try again. But we did let her sit in her highchair for a while. She loved it!! A whole new view for her. Makes cooking dinner much easier!

Happy Birthday Mike

For Mike's birthday we went to the Boulders in Cave Creek to celebrate his birthday. We had gotten a free night using our credit card points. Oh my gosh we had soooo much fun. It was so relaxing and peaceful. It was my first night away from Madison and we both did so well. This was a much needed night!! Happy Birthday Babe!!

Views from our room.

Not a bad photo for it being on a timer shot on our balcony.

Go Vikings!!

Being that Mike's family is from Minnesota we have to show some team support. So here we are all dress for the game tonight. Go Vikings!!

All dressed and ready for grandma's!!!!

Ryan turns 3!!

I can't believe my little man turned 3 today. Where has all the time go. This lucky boy got to have 2 special parties. The night before we celebrated with granny at my parents house because granny couldn't make it to his party. It was so much fun. She gave him a gold cart!! He loves it. Now he fits right in with our neighborhood. :)

Ryan and granny blowing out the candles. So sweet!!

Ryan and Granny. Best friends for life. These two have a special bond that no else could ever have. I use to be grandma's girl but I think I have been replaced by Ryan :)

4 generations!! Wow that is amazing.

The cake I made for the birthday boy.

Ryan with his best friend Haley. They are the best of pals. We love you Haley girl.

My so so sweet nephew who could care less about decorating a hard hat but instead would rather climb on the table. Only you Rocco!
