Oops, I forgot this one!

Another part of our busy day today was getting Madison's 18 month photos. Here is just one of the many cute photos that the photographer got of her today! I will pick up the rest in another week, so I will post more then. A big thanks to Nana and Anna for being there and helping out...I couldn't have done it without you...getting pictures of a busy toddler is not easy! This picture is of course with Madison's love...Elmo!! I LOVE this picture!! Can't wait to share more with you soon!

The Rockies Game and Other Fun Moments

Summer has been so much fun! We are having a great time playing outside, taking walks, hanging out downtown, and having fun with friends and family. We have been lucky to have Uncle Peter (Matt's middle brother) and soon to be Aunt Anna here for the past few weeks. Unfortunately, they are leaving on Sunday, but we had such a fun time with them and we are so glad that they stayed with us...Madison might go through a little withdrawal when they leave though :(

Summer has not only been fun, but also so busy...WE'RE MOVING...in 2 weeks!! I havent posted anything about this so far because we wanted to make sure that everything progressed first. Fortunately, everything is going very well and all is good to go!! We sold our house a little over a month ago but had no where to go, until our fabulous agent/good friend/neighbor Bethany found us "the house" (still in Louisville, YEA!!) after a tireless search and countless hours of work. We cannot thank her enough and will always be thankful to her for her dedication to us and her expertise! More details and pictures about the new house to come!

Nachos at the Rockies Game tonight...not the healthiest choice but she enjoyed the few that we gave her :)

For the fireworks show, a few of the sections were too close to the fireworks, so they were escorted to the field...so many people!
Waiting for the fireworks show to begin
Watching the AMAZING fireworks show...one of the best I have ever seen!! So many fireworks and such a great display. Madison was a little sleepy by this point, but she did SO well at the game tonight. She was happy and loved being there!
A GREAT show! We had such a fun time tonight and were glad that we all got to go the game!

A Fun Few Days!

We have had a fun past few days! We have gone to the zoo, played with Elliot, visited the aquarium, and had fun at the downtown Street Faire! Summer is SO great and we are having a blast!!
Looking at the polar bear with Annie, Sean, and Anderson
Sean brought a red wagon to the zoo and Madison and Anderson loved riding in it...they felt like such big kids! Maybe daddy will get Madison one this summer?!?
Sean and Madison waiting patiently for their turn on the train
Banging on the window with Elliot...they thought that this was SO funny!

Tonight we went to the downtown Street Faire to hang out and listen to The Samples play. We had a great time with Uncle Peter, Aunt Anna, Chester (Matt's business partner), Katie, Sophie, Colby (Chester's Family), and Drew (our next door neighbor friend).

This picture is Madison's reaction to watching her balloon fly up in the sky! She thought it was SO funny!

Having fun!
