January, February and March...

Here is a little slide show of some pictures and videos of my kids from the last few months. We have had a rough winter due to lots of sickness so I don't have too many pictures but I wanted to write a little bit about what they've been up to...

Maddux is so grown up these days and has such an awesome little personality. He is the best big brother to Ambrie and my little sidekick. He has started helping around the house (vacuuming is his favorite), is very interested in letters and numbers right now, has a huge imagination and an even bigger heart! He still adores his Dad and wants to be just like him.

Ambrie is trying to walk as you'll see in the video. She is also starting to show her personality and we LOVE it. She is very easy going and usually just goes with the flow. She has started to talk a little and says more everyday. Her favorite person in the world is her brother. She doesn't take her eyes off him and wants to do everything he does. He can get her to laugh like no one else and he is so sweet to her. The only thing she gives us trouble about is food. She is a picky little thing and is VERY hesitant of new foods...if she tries something and doesn't like it she won't eat it! She loves her Dad too but is a mama's girl and I love that.

Pretty much we feel like the luckiest parents in the world to have these two around. I am so grateful that I get the chance to be home with them now. Enjoy the video!

Maddux and the Motorcycle...

Pretty much since Maddux was born Greg has been looking forward to taking him on his motorcycle. Maddux has grown up sitting on it, helping clean it, turning it on, and wishing he could ride on it. I have been VERY hesitant to let him go on it and told Greg probably wouldn't want him to ride on it until he was like 10. Well...this Valentines Day I gave Greg and Maddux matching helmets for the motorcycle. So, Maddux was able to take his first ride on it and he LOVED it! They drove around the block twice and he was grinning from ear to ear. Here is a little trip down memory lane and then a short clip of his first ride!

First time on the motorcycle...3 months old

First time on it by himself...18 months old

Practicing how to hold on...2 years old

Helping Dad back it out of the driveway...2 years old

Wearing their new matching helmets and ready to go...3 years old

His first ride!

Christmas 2010

This we we spent Christmas in Las Vegas with my family. It was so much fun for my kids to be around all the cousins. Maddux was such a great age this year. He finally understood what Christmas and Santa were all about and he was very excited abou all of it. Whenever he would see Santa at a store or on the street he would get very excited! He made this year MAGICAL! Here is a little video of our Christmas this year...

Maddux is 3!

For Maddux's 3rd Birthday we took him and his buddies bowling. It was a cold, snowy day but they loved it! He had a Toy Story cake and some of his favorite people around to celebrate with. Happy Birthday Buddy! Me and your Dad love you so much and we are so proud of who you are becoming. You have made the last three years the best in our lives and we look forward to watching you continue to grow Bud!

Here is a little slide show of the day...

Ambire Photo Shoot

My sister Olivia brought her nicve camera with her to the sisters reunion and took so many adorable pictures of Ambrie. She even got some adorable ones of her in her Halloween costume. Here is a few of them.

I REALLY wish she lived closer so she could take pictures of my kids all the time! She's so talented! Thanks Olivia!
