About Me

JR has been a paramedic for Ada County for the last 9 years. I also work for Ada County Paramedics in the Logistics Department. JR and I have known each other since middle school. He liked me in highschool, but I thought he was too goofy. We started dating our second year in college. We were married August 14th 2004 and had our little Madison July 30th 2008. Colin completed our family on October 11th, 2011.

Madison Giggling

I know that the video is too dark, but I was getting Madison ready for her bath and she started giggling. It's pretty cute. She is giggling more and more.

Demon

Since we have had Madison the boys can feel a little left out, so this morning Daddy made sure that Demon got some cuddle time. They are so cute. Daddies first baby.









Little Gym Class

This past week we took Madison to Little Gym. She is in the Bugs class that is for 4-10 months olds.



We started off by clapping and singing


Then Mommy got very dizzy as I twirled Madison on my head



Madison worked on tummy time

Daddy had Madison do sumersaults

Madison was very tired when we got home

Miss Christina said that Madison did great for her first class. She did get a little fussy with it being nap/lunch time and so many new faces. I think this will be very fun for Madison and me. She gets to be around other babies her age and experience so many fun new things. Mommy really enjoyed it also, even the singing. I think the more off key I sing the more Madison smiles.

cloth diapers




I try to be as green as I can, so when I found out that I was pregnant with Madison I wanted to do cloth diapers. JR was against it, but after much research we found a brand of diaper that we really like called bumgenius. We wash diapers every two days and then I put the insert in the diaper and the biodegradable liner that makes poop clean up easy. I am really glad that we chose cloth diapers besides Madison looks so cute in them. A few facts....




A baby produces 1 ton of diaper waste in their diaper wearing life ( avg. 2 yrs)


1 disposable diaper can take up to 500 years to decompose


disposable diapers are the third most common consumer item in a landfill


disposable diapers cost $1,500 to $2,000 for the two years your child wears them

SANTA CLAUSE


Madison had her first visit with Santa. She really seemed to be interested in his white beard. JR was afraid that she would be scared by him, but all she did was stare. It was so cute seeing her with Mr. Clause.
