I Love My Daddy

We always have a fun time together and he always makes me laugh. 

He loves me very much and I love him too.

Madi's Trick

Lunch in the Park

Bruce hasn't been as busy as usual because he is waiting on the programmers to finish the new software. He has been working from home a lot and Madi and I love the extra little time we get with him.  The weather was beautiful last week so we decided to take advantage of it.  So we walked to a nearby park and had a picnic lunch.

Walking to the park. 

 Me and my baby. :)

 Madi is looking up at the tree.  I love her cheeks!!

  My handsome husband and adorable baby. 

 Eating yummy canned pears from Grammy. 

 If you have never tried eating Cheez-Its and carrots at the same time you are missing out.  Bruce introduced this to me while we were dating.  It sounds weird but it is so yummy.  The perfect combination of sweet and salty.  Try it!!

Visit to NC

At the beginning of September we got to go to NC to visit family for about 2 weeks.  It was so nice to spend time with my family but as always it was very hard to leave.  I may or may not have cried....just sayin'. ;) Anyways, I love them so much and really wish that we weren't so far apart.  Madi wanted to tell you what we did on our trip so I will let her do it.

Hello, Madi here.  We did a lot of fun things in NC.  One of those things was going to the zoo.  It was my first time.  I really liked seeing all the animals.  I was looking really cute that day so most of the pictures are of me instead of the animals we saw...I just can't help it. ;)

I really liked watching the sea lions swim around. 

Daddy let me ride on his shoulders.

I wanted to play with the bees.  

This is me just being cute!

We also went on a hike to Hanging Rock and some nearby waterfalls.  Mommy and Daddy thought the hike was steep but I thought it was easy.  

That is where we are headed.

 We made it to the top! It was so pretty!

This tree was really cool so we took a picture on it.

 Pretty little waterfall.

 Picture with Mema. 

 And Grandpa.  

 I fell asleep while Aunt Allie was holding me.  It's hard work looking cute and hiking at the same time.  

We also did other fun things like going to a water park, visiting with great grandma and grandpa, and eating lots of yummy food. Grandpa let me try yummy things that mommy and daddy never give me.  One of those things I really liked was ice cream.  This is a picture of daddy standing under the Bruster's sign...get it....Bruce-Sters.....hehe...well my mommy thinks its funny.  

Here is a picture of me playing with Uncle Zack.  I liked to stare at Uncle Zack a lot because he looks funny.  Just pickin'. He was a lot of fun to play with. 

Waiting patiently for mommy to fix my food. Don't I look like a cute little buddha?

I also got two teeth in while we were in NC.  I was a really good girl and didn't fuss a bit!

All in all it was a really fun trip and I can't wait to go back for Thanksgiving!!!

Dogs

So when we went home to visit family in NC Madi fell in love with our dog Megs.  Everytime Megs would walk in the room she had Madi's attention.  Madi loved to pet her and especially loved it when Megs would lick her hands and feet.

Gross!  I, on the other hand, do not like dogs and I especially don't like being licked by them.  Bruce feels the same way so I'm afraid Madi will probably never have a pet dog.  But she does love her little "Snoop Dog" so hopefully that will be good enough for her.

Seriously...

Look at these cheeks!! I can't get enough of them!

Uggghhh.....

I keep telling myself that I need to update our blog and then when I finally get around to doing it I spend forever looking at new backgrounds.  Then I get too tired to write anything.  Someday I will be good at blogging....someday.
