Christmas @ Wheaton's

We love the traditional wrapping paper fight post presents; Madi loved it so much that she dove into the pile!

And little sis, Adeline, had to join the pile also!!
Adeline loves her cousin, Jim!


This year's Christmas celebration was moved from Aunt M's house to Jim & Carrie's to adjust to the ever growing and active family. It was so much fun watching Grant and Madison really interact this year. They chased eachother up and down the hall, hoot & hollared at the Choo Choo, pigged out on some popcorn, and played with their toys together; warms my heart to watch them! Look out Christmas 2010, Adeline's coming to join the fun :0)

Christmas @ Dyers

We had quite the lovely evening celebrating at Mom & Dad Dyer's.

Watch out for those Ade Patty's!!

As many of you know, we've been working in our downstairs lately and my mother-in-law was sweet enough to get the girls going on the bedtime routine: dinner, bath, and into pj's.

Madison was a success; the process went smoothly and effectively.

Adeline was up next for the bath. Momma D got her stripped down to her birthday suit and ready for the water when she noticed Adeline had a little poo poo on her heiney; so she got a wash cloth and wiped her down. Stepping backward she then felt something warm underfoot and slid. That's right. When the diaper came off apparently there was no smell or indication that an Ade patty had flung from the diaper to the floor and now half stuck to Momma D's sock!!

Thank you once again Momma D for another addition to a lifetime of memories!!

Lately

I've been a terrible blogger lately, sorry. Things in the Dyer home has been very busy lately. Keith started class again, he's stressed; work is piling up for me; my main computer has died and took all my important info with it; amongst other things. When the new 'main' computer comes I'll try to put up new photos for you all to see how big the girls are getting; like Adeline getting up on her knees and the everyday evolving new tasks Madison can accomplish.

The Zoo

Had a wonderful time at the Columbus Zoo on Monday. It was so fun taking the girls and seeing their reactions. Enjoy the photos.

The Hamptons
Adeline's 1st time in the ocean - she loooved it!!

Madison did nooot like the sand at all - she would not put her feet or hands in it; I actually made a towel walkway for her to walk to the wet sand to make a sand castle. What a princess. (but some how she still ended up with sand in her diaper anyway...weird)

Siblings

How can a girl this adorable.....

be this rotten:
Poor Baby, I just ran into the bedroom to grab the laundry basket and by the time I got back she looked like this gratitude of her older sister. Thank goodness she didn't get her eye; I am now making sure there is no way events like this ever happen again! how scary.

But now that it's over and all is safe - it's kinda cute and I have proof for baby sis in the scrapbooks.

Cracks me up

Today I hear "Bubye" I turn to look and she's got her purse on her arm filled with toys, her toy keys in her hand and her other hand on the door knob. Hahahaha she is just too cute!

Her First Time...

First time holding a bottle (mostly bc she doesn't take a bottle)
