5 Year Anniversary!

Tom. 8-28-09 is our 5 year wedding anniversary! I can't believe it's been that long. I love Joe more now then I did the day I married him. We have grown so much together and laughed and cried through the past 5 years. Even though he drives me crazy I wouldn't change a thing. We are such a great team and have an absolute blast together. I couldn't imagine my life without him. And our beautiful Madelyn Sue. She is the best of both of us (or the worst) she is a handful that little one but has the biggest heart. She is amazing... thank you Joe for being a great husband and a wonderful father. I'm so lucky to have you in my life- you make me take life a little less serious and gave me the best little family a girl could ask for. Love YOU! This picture I posted is one of my favs of Joe. It shows just how loving he is... he was super hungover but still such a lover. :) He looks super young too! And that was only 41/2 years ago.
Happy 5 years! Can't wait for another 5 and maybe another baby! (Not prego yet).

The last couple of weeks...

Maddie and Grandma

Rendezvous @ High Desert Museum

The Last two weeks have been hectic and there is no time to slow down. We have had Joe's mom up to visit and help babysit. Which we greatly appreciate! Then we had a very fun wedding up at Tetherow Golf Club. My mom just left after a few days... I always hate to see family leave. Since they don't live around us it's especially hard for me when they leave. I want Maddie to remember her grandmas. :) Oh and we went to the High Desert Museum Rendezvous- (hence the cowboy get-up) and we had an older man as us if we were old enough to be there! Goes to show that we were the youngest people there. Anyhow, this week is just as crazy with work, the ghost tree invitational and more work... and our 5 year anniversary! We are very proud that we are hitting the 5 year milestone- some said it would never last! :) We are half way through our wedding season. One more in Bend then off to Denver to see my sister get hitched. Can't wait!

Crazy last week!

We have been going a million miles a minute it feels like. Starting with the Joe Bellatti BBQ on Tuesday night.... Joe got a signed budweiser OR Ducks mirror... very exciting to all of you Ducks fan's i'm sure. Then Wed. night I had a girls night for miss Kim's b-day and didn't come home till waaaayyy to late for a work night... Then Thursday was Sugarland. Soooo much fun! Joe and I had an absolute blast. They are amazing~! Then Friday went to the fair and watched Lady Antebellum... It was way too hot there for us... we didn't last long! Then Saturday morning up early to spend the weekend with friends at the Mckenzie River!!! Lots of fun but way too hot! I'm really spoiled with AC and find it very difficult to sleep without it.
Anyhow, today i'm cleaning and Joe's mom will be here tom. to visit. :) Hopefully my brain starts to function before work on Weds.

Busy Summer!

Well since the last time I posted for the 4th of July we have been busy little bees! We have been in full swing of birthday parties, baby showers, new babies being born, weddings and now into concert season! Things are getting a little hectic.
Joe's mom is coming up in 2 weeks to help with maddie for a week and then hopefully my mom can come visit in august too... We have 3 more weddings to attend this summer, 3 concerts (Jake Owen, SUGARLAND-my fav, and Lady Antebellum) then onto Ghost Tree and our 5 year wedding anniversary! Then off to see my sister get married in Denver. Can't wait for all the upcoming events.
Thank you to aunt sandy who has been my babysitting savior! She has been watching maddie for us. Even let us go to a wedding and go out afterwards. A much needed night on the town with my hubby.
I had to post the picture of madelyn screaming. She just poured Mazies entire bowl of freezing water off of the counter right onto her head. Yes, i did get the camera before drying her off!

4th of July @ Detroit Lake

We had a wonderful weekend at Detroit Lake with our good friends Meghan and Galen! They have a fantastic cabin that we were able to stay in... Thank again Meg!!! We love you. :)

We watched fireworks from the dock... Got lots of sun and ate/drank tons!!! Perfect holiday weekend. Maddie had a blast... so much so that she never wanted to sleep! she has made up for it last night though... slept 12 hours and took a 2 hour morning nap and is about to go down again! Thank goodness because I have lots of chores.

Summer is finally here!

Sorry to all my facebook friends for having to see the same pictures- but most of my family isn't on facebook yet... :)
Summer took a little while to actually get here this year... but I'm happy it finally made it. We will be spending lots of time at the pool and going to lots of gatherings... I love it!!! Super busy but very fun. Here are some photos of us at the pool and a friends b-day bash.
Oh and Joe had to save the little family of ducks out of the pool. The babies couldn't get out. It was very sweet.
The picture with Maddie in the tub in her pj's... she couldn't wait for me to come undress her she just plopped in! Then afterwards she decided to poop on the floor... Needless to say, Mommy wasn't totally thrilled with the experience!

Father's Day, Shiners, Walking and More!

Happy Father's Day to my wonderful Husband! And of course my dad and Joe's dad too. :) We had a very nice father's day. I was a little under the weather...(self inflicted from a bachelorette party the night before) but Joe was great. :) We had a nice breakfast out with friends and then took Harry out to Pastini in the old mill for dinner. It was fantastic- one of my favirote places in Bend.
Madelyn has her first black eye... Under mom's watch. It's not even a really fun story. She had her little A's baseball bat and I was changing her diaper and she whacked the wood letter "M" off of the shelf above her and the corner just landed perfectly under her eye. It bruised instantly. Between the mullet and black eye she looks hot!
Since Maddie's first birthday she has been taking a few steps here and there till the last few days. Now I can say she is walking. She walks about 60% of the time... she can stand up without holding on to anything and motor across the room. It's so cute! But also a little wierd that my baby is walking! I officially have a toddler.
Now the only thing that I would like is for the weather to get better so we can start using our pool membership! Come on Summer....
