Last weekend Madison went on her first flight. We flew to Coeur d'Alene to spend time with my mom and dad and Jr's mom. Madison did great on the plane. She got a little fussy just sitting there, but once we took off she enjoyed looking out the window. The flight is such a short one that we didn't even get our drinks since we were sitting towards the back of the plane. Mom and Dad had flown us up so that we could go out on the boat and since we have all the best luck in the world the weather turned to fall weather. It was rainy and in the 70's and JR and I both ended up with colds. It was ok though, we went out on the boat Saturday for a couple hours and Tammi joined us. It was also Madison's first boat ride and she really enjoyed the waves, she started laughing on the way back to the dock. All-in-all it was a wonderful weekend and as I get older I enjoy the cooler weather more. If Oregon wasn't so rainy we would love to live there. The only downside to the trip was that we had to leave Aspen and Demon behind. It's the first time we've ever left them alone, but our good friends came over and watched them and they seemed to have weathered the time alone just fine.

The weekend of Madison's birthday her Grandpa McGee stayed in a hotel so that Madison could go in a pool for the first time. She loved it!!!!! She stayed in the pool the entire time either with JR or I holding her or in her floating tube.
This past weekend we took Madison to Roaring Springs, our local water park and she didn't like it very much. I think the children's area was too loud with the splashing water and the other kids, but she loved the wave pool. She loved to splash in the waves and she also tried to crawl while the waves were going so she could go out deeper. Unfortunatly, I only have a couple pictures of the water park because I forgot to charge the camera..... oooops, bad Mommy

I want to begin by thanking everybody who came to Madison's first birthday. You helped make it a very special day for our sweet baby girl and for our family. We had a great day, but a very hot day. We celebrated by having about 17 people over to our house for a bbq in the backyard. We had the kiddie pool set up in the backyard along with a pool full of balls, a water slide, and the swing set. The kids all seemed to have a lot of fun. Madison was exhausted and slept until 9:45 Sunday morning!!!!
