September

September was a busy month for us - some last minute vacations before summer was over. Here are a ton of pics to show you what we've been up to:

At my bday party at my parents - Madeline and Nolan watching her FAVORITE movie - "Elmo's Christmas" (Elmo's Christmas Countdown)

The kids got a pinata - Nolan's up first

Now it's Madeline's turn

Nice hit!

Notice the great form - holding the baseball bat...

Candy!

Run kids!

Madeline's new look :)

We took a trip down to the southern OR coast, and stopped by to see new cousin Carter in Eugene.

Playing on the floor mat together

She wishes she was a baby again!!!

Baby Carter in the bath

Bath time together!

Lately when we've asked her to smile, this is what we get...

Lotion time

Say "cheese!"

Carter all snuggly and ready for bed

Madeline in her jammies

Madeline LOVES binkies - a bit of an obession... she's trying to give one to Carter

We're here - at the beach. My aunt and uncle have a very nice beach house that they let us stay at.

Baby Carly :)

Madeline and daddy on the deck.

The cabin has such a GREAT view!

Let's blow bubbles

Bubbles on the deck

Headed to the beach

Daddy bought a kite, but he could never get it up - not enough wind.

Getting ready to build our sand castle

He didn't give up trying

Getting sandy

Fun!

Here it is

The HOLT castle

and grand entrance

Just another great view

Can you find Matt? He's still trying to fly his kite.

Sunny day

The fog blew in REALLY quickly, but that didnt' stop Matt.

The fog went away and we all went back down to the beach

Mommy and Madeline

Going for a walk

Time to leave, Madeline loved all the toys!

Too much beach fun!

Sleepy

We stopped in Eugene again to see Carter - and his mommy and daddy :) Foot comparison

On to a wedding - Alyssa's

Hello there!

Then we went to Utah - but I forgot my camera for EVERYTHING! Matt had it in his backpack during the day while he was working. I missed my site seeing photo ops. Here is Madeline being all done up by the girls :)

Grandma Neen made these pajamas forever ago. They finally fit!

Night Night

So, we have a new photographer in the family - Madeline! She's in training as you see...

Pics of the dogs

We're working on it... :)

Cousin Ryan's Wedding

We went to my cousin Ryan's wedding on Saturday... I have never been to more of a "country-ish" wedding before, but it was really cute! There were hydrangeas everywhere - my FAVORITE flower. As you can see they lined the gazebo here. So pretty! Congrats Ryan and Annie!

Oh yes... they were whisked away by a tractor!
Cute little family of 3.5

My husband - the goof!

Madeline showing me the hydrangea she picked up off the ground. I still have it sitting on my window sill :)


Unfortunatly I didn't charge our camera before we left so we just have a few pics... oh well!

New cousin

Madeline has a new cousin - Jenna and John's little baby Carter! He's such a cutie, and to Madeline, he was WAY better than just her life-less dolls :) After she had her first turn holding him, she didn't want to share!

Old Man and swimming

We went to Idaho for the weekend and Madeline got to ride her first horse at great grandma and grandpa's ranch. His name is Old Man. She was very interested in him and the other horse Danny, but mostly at a distance. We finally convinced her to ride the horse with daddy, and she was ok with it, as long as she wasn't touching him, hense the awkward position Matt's in trying to carry her and ride the horse :)

Yesterday we went to another great grandma and grandpa's - grandma "Neen" and grandpa Jerry. They have a great pool that I grew up swimming in. Madeline LOVED it. She asked to get back in 3 times!
