Funny Picture

Maddie fell asleep watching Good Luck Charlie in my bedroom.

Maddie Playdate

Maddie had a playdate over Christmas break. Adalyhn and Maddie are fast friends. It is the cutest to hear 4 year old conversations!

My parents gave Maddie this white puppy for Chrismas. She told us, "All I want from Santa is a fake white puppy." When Jeremy handed her the box the dog barked. She grabbed it from Jeremy's hands and SCREAMED, "Give it to me!" She takes that dog everywhere!

A new backpack!

Xbox Kinect from Gram and Gramp!

Downhill skiing helmets!

Jeremy's mom also gave the kids snowshoes which they will LOVE to use once we get snow! I am so disappointed I didn't snap a picture of them opening them!

Christmas Baking 2011

Tis the season for our annual cookie frosting day!

Christmas Tree Hunt 2011

We had two tree this year. A kids' tree in the loft area and a larger tree in the living room.

The beginnings...

Thanksgiving 2011

My parents spent Thanksgiving with us before they headed down to Florida for the winter. We are so happy they are able to spend the winters in the sunshine and go out their backdoor golfing, but we sure miss them when they are gone. No Florida for us this Christmas break. Hopefully next year!

Maddie was in her "I don't want you to take my picture" moods.

Christmas Concerts 2011

Max's First Grade Christmas Concert

Since Maddie goes to 4K every day for 1/2 days and daycare the other half of the day she had TWO Christmas programs!

Kathy's Christmas Program: Maddie was the only one that sang. Kids get so shy when it becomes showtime!

4K Mrs. Pleshek's Christmas Program (Western Program)

Ben's 5th Grade Christmas Program

I tried to snap Ben walking off of stage, but couldn't get a good shot.

October 30, 2011 MOVE IN DAY!

The first night in our new house! It wasn't totally finished yet (and still isn't) but it was nice to finally call something home! Maddie wouldn't let us take a picture of her bedroom before she went to bed, but I got pics of the boys' rooms!

Maddie: took the remote and insisted she knew how to get iCarly on TV. After much stubborness she clicked through the channels and just by chance it landed on iCarly. She looks at me all smug, "I told you I could do it, Mommy. You must have forgot I'm SMART!" (3 1/2)

Grandma Mueller gave Arde some Eggnog icecream for a snack. Max looks at it and says, "Grandma, this doesn't look like my style."

Maddie out of the blue says to me.."we both have diarrhea don't we mommy?" My response, "not that I know of!"
Tonight Maddie told me, "J.T. is my boyfriend." (This is a guy that is helping us design our new house) On the next breath she says, "Richard is also my boyfriend, but don't tell Daddy." (Anyone that knows my wonderful neighbor knows he is in his 60's!!!) We are going to have our hands full with this one!
One night I told Maddie she was cracking me up. Her response was, "You want to gobble me all up don't you mommy!?"
As I was putting Maddie to bed I told her I was going to go and wished her a goodnight. "Why do you have to go mommy?" I told her my nose was dripping and I had to get a tissue. She held up the bottom part of her pajama shirt and said, "Here mommy, just wipe your nose on my shirt that's what I do."
Maddie was mad at me today (like usual). A bee came by her while we were outside and here are her exact words "Bee go away! Go by mommy!"
