January 2009

The pictures pretty much tell how we spent most of our January, outside on the trampoline with friends and family. It has been such great weather....how could you possibly pass it up! This is Madi with her cousins Bella, Sophia and her Auntie Amy bouncing around.
Uncle Bobby didn't last long just watching in the wings. The trampoline really is so much fun, you don't stay watching for long.
Madi is always up for learning fun new games on the trampoline so here is her Auntie showing her how to play log roll....she caught on really quick, Sophia is waiting to take her jump next.
Anytime we have friends over they head right outside to the tramp so here is Madi and her sweet friend Maggie having a blast. I showed them how to bounce each other and they did that forever, they just don't seem to get enough jumping in (which is fine with me, makes bedtime go very fast:)
After about an hour of being outside I caught them laying down on the tramp so I brought them out some water and asked them if they were tired and ready to come in....Madi's response, "No mom, we were just waiting for you to take our picture again." So I told them to pose and the picture above is what the two cuties did! Then they got up and jumped some more!! Where do they get all there energy from?!?

We also like to dog-sit from time to time. Yes we do love dogs :) So Brady's brothers family was going out of the country for a week and asked if we could watch their little dog Dessa and we were very excited when she came to stay. She was such a good dog and especially took a special love to Madi. She slept with Madi at night....which Madi absolutely LOVED!!
And when Madi came home from school one day, she went in her room to take her shoes off and Dessa was taking a nap on her bed so Madi ran to find me and said, "Mom, quick come take a picture of Dessa, she's so cute on my bed taking a nap."
All of the dogs got along great so having an extra dog for a week really wasn't a big deal at all (hint hint to my hubby....I really would love a Cavalier King Charles) !! So Bobby and family, anytime you guys need a dogsitter please think of us, we'd love to have Dessa for a visit!:)

Ahh! That warm Arizona backdrop is so enticing! What I'd give to be able to go hang outside right now. I'm glad they have so much fun on the tramp.

yay you updated! I say that like I have been good at updating lately (which i have NOT) It is always something with me... no internet, camera acting up, or just plain tired. :) Cute post! Saira LOVES our tramp too. She gets her cast off tomorrow, it will be hard to keep her from breaking it again. She is SO active!
