Our first snowfall of 2009 - Wed December 9th

This snowstorm came fast and furious and after all the snow came lots of rain which made the cleanup heavy and messy!!
Madi has been so excited waiting for snow so we went out before we had to go to the sitter's house. Here Daddy is teaching Madison how to make a snowball!!

Daddy is showing Madi how to throw a snowball at MOMMY! How mean.

Ready, 1-2-3


Phew she missed!!

Above - is a nice photo of our great neighbor (and friends) Linda and Michael's house.

Daddy shovelled a hill for Madi to climb up and slide down.
Madi didn't want to go to the sitter's house, she wanted to stay home with Daddy and play in the snow. Lots of tears this morning.


YEAH.........sliding!!

See you soon.

Gymnastics with Daddy

Let me first begin with my apologies for the blurryness! (sorry for the spelling)
Here we are for the warm up session.

This is class number 3
The first class ended in hysterical crying ("I dont want to go home, I want to stay at nastics") and all the way home in the van. Second visit a few tears not like the first but she realized that she gets to go again (she thought it was all over and she didn't get to do it again) the following week.
Daddy and daughter bonding time.


Families that stretch together stay together!!

I love them!!!

Madi wants to get on with the fun stuff!!

Ohhhhhhh stretch

Trampoline time

Madi loves "popcorn" on the trampoline.

All the kids grab a blue foam square to hold onto (I think they do this so if their heads plop around, they hit the foam squares) and then the teacher makes sure they are a nice distant away from eachother and the teacher does a jump and all the kids pop up like popcorn and she sings a fun "popcorn" song. Lots of giggles for this activity.

The instructor asked Randy how old Madison is and she said "Wow, she's tall and she doesn't even climb or jump like a 3 year old" - she's the biggest in her group!! Yikes.

My camera doesn't take great action photos. I got some photos from her first class on Randy's camera hopefully they are better.

Rolling down the wedge.

Getting ready to jump into the blue foam pit. Madi loves all the BLUE foam squares.

1-2-3 JUMP

That's fun Daddy!!

HELP ME GET OUT!! (with lots of giggling)


Cartwheel area - the mat shows where the feet and hands are to go.

Bye for now!

Tisket a Tasket...Madi in a basket

The title says it all!!
