"Spring cleaning"

I have been in a "spring cleaning" mood for awhile now....some may call it nesting. But I just prefer to say I am getting rid of junk. I go through things about once a week now and get rid of stuff we never use. I know I know, Once a week is quite a bit but I have a problem.
I always say, "But we will use it later" or "one day" or my favorite "someone made it for us so I cant get rid of it". Hence the once a week attempt. Now we arent really sentimental people around here much so when it comes to things people made, and I NEVER use, I will keep it around awhile but then after some hesitation....OFF TO GOODWILL it goes. We have donated quite alot lately and I don't think I am done. Its funny once it is out of our sight, we forget about it and don't even miss it. I do however keep Madison's old clothes (the ones that are still in good condition). We are expecting number two and if its a girl we will already have clothes! I think I am getting rid of everything to try to make room for number two. Wish me luck!

look whos walking!!!

She is walking, and has been for about a week now. But it is very clumsy.

oh the holidays (caution this could be a long post)

The past few months have just flown by and it is crazy to me that my child will be a year old this month. We have had so many trials and blessings in the last few months but lets start with the holidays.

Halloween:

We went to the church halloween party and had alot of fun. Of course we dressed her as a pumpkin and she was super cute. She was so tired by the end of the night(we got home well after bed time) she didnt make a peep when we put her to bed.

Thanksgiving:

For Thanksgiving we were able to go to Idaho and visit family there. We had alot of fun Madison was able to play with alot of cousins and got alot of attention from Grandparents and Aunts, i basically had a week off. Which was super duper nice. There is a picture here with Great Grandma Foster and majority of her great grandchildren (minus two). While we were there we told the family that i was pregnant again (yup its true) and due in June. well it turns out his cousin is also and due the same time as us. Crazy huh.

Christmas:

On our way to Oregon for Christmas Madison was able sit in the cockpit with the captain, and the flight attendents loved her, Evan and I just ahd to sit back and relax. When we got to my parents house she went right to this Santa doll taht made noise. She absolutely loved my moms dog, not so much the other way around. We very much enjoyed the holidays but are glad to be back home and back into routine.
