Madison's Pet Fish

Here is Madison's newest pet....a yellow bullhead. She named him "Porky."

He was in the minnows we bought to go fishing with. She is very proud of her pet fish. (and yes it is in a flower vase!)

Hockey Game

We went to see the Minnesota Wild play the Detroit Red Wings this week. It was a great game with lots of scoring (by the Wild) and we beat the Wings 5-2!

Family Pictures

I thought I would post some pictures from Chirstmas when we were back home with our families.

BROTHERS!

We went sledding with friends this weekend at a local park. It was a great day to sled, Madison thought it was great when she had a "mega-wipeout". The girls also slid all the way out onto the ice rink a couple times which was of course lots of fun.

I rode down in a sled next to the girls while making this video, I didn't wipe out like them though (lucky for me).

The Wiggles Dance

Madison's new favorite movie is "The Wiggles" which we picked up at the library.

HAPPY NEW YEAR!!!

Happy New Year!!

We are having a low-key New Year's Eve this year. It is just the three of us for the evening together to read some princess stories and play games. Our special New Years dinner was crab legs, and if you ask Madison they are not just crab legs but KING crab legs! She loves to eat the crab legs and play with them too as you can see.

Some sledding adventures from our trip to Michigan.

While we were visiting family in Michigan we took a morning to go sledding. It was a great little hill for Madison and David to sled down. Madison did go down the "fast run" on the backside of this hill.....but only once because she had hangtime off the bump at the bottom and she was flying like a rocketship down the icy slope.

MERRY CHRISTMAS!!!

We wish you a very Merry Christmas!

Madison got a "Hello Kitty" camera for Christmas and here are some pictures she has taken already.

Cousin David

She is getting good at taking pictures of Mom and Dad.

We left cookies and milk for Santa and Madison insisted we leave some apples for the Reindeer too!
