Playing at Uncle Justin & Aunt Jamie's...

Before dinner we were hanging out at our house..Maddie loves the piano!!

Maddie likes playing with the potato head too, but she just takes pieces out of the box and puts them all over the floor...she doesn't actually assemble potato heads yet.
After dinner we blew up the Balzac, which is just a giant balloon inside this canvas cover...I'm sorry there are so many pictures of Maddie outside playing with the ball. I've never been able to get a picture of this smile, so I couldn't pick just one.










This is the first time I've seen Maddie show any interest in Braden...they aren't great pictures...but I HAD to post them!!

Braden is such a great kid!! I swear he never cries!!!

Dining Out...

Saturday night we went out to dinner with JD, Amy, Maddie and Braden. Maddie was good until the food got there, then she started to get tired. The food was good and the company was great, as always!!

To keep Maddie entertained, we tried everything...here's JD blowing on her face through the straw.
Braden in the car on the way home...he loves looking out the window!!

Dog Class--Week Two...

Since I had to be in Seattle Friday I was a half hour late for class. Justin took both dogs and I figured he would just leave Abby in the back of the Nissan until I got there. I was wrong. He took my awesome dog out into the park, put her on a down stay and low and behold...she stayed!! For the first half hour of class she layed down and stayed in one spot!! It wasn't until Justin was asked to move to the front of the line to start heeling that she got a little scared. When she couldn't see him anymore she slowly started to sit up, just waiting for the correction knowing she was on a down stay, but she was great!!


Lexie's doing really good in class, granted this is her second time to go through the first three weeks of class, I still think she's doing great!

This week we didn't forget the coats. Lexie was the first to get hers on, since she's smaller than Abby she gets cold a lot faster!

This isn't a very good picture of Lexie, but a better picture of their really cute little jackets. After looking all over to find jackets for them (all of which were at least $20.00 a piece) I found two jackets at Ross for $5.00 each in the two sizes I needed. Can't beat that!!Cooper did really well this week too. He still loves to play, but now he knows what it means to get down to business too.
