We're back in black!.... and Orange..

This year we welcomed fall with a few local events. Three weeks ago we decided to attend our very own Hutto Hometown festival and participate in some face painting and petting zoo. Yesterday, we went to a Pumpkin Fest where the highlight activity was playing Call of Duty out of the back of a Marine's mini Hummer. Good to see our governemnt saving money, a few years ago it would have been an H2, not the lady version, H3.

Enjoy the pics and we'll get some more posted after Halloween!

Hey All.. We're back!

I know that it has been a while since we've posted anything on here but we've made an agreement to be better at it. Below are a few new pics we got from the Hutto Old Tyme festival as well as our most recent visit to the pumpkin patch. Take care all!

Hey all!

I added some new pictures of Maddy, including her first trip to see the blue bonnets. I will try to get more pictures soon of our little 15 month old princess!! She is getting sooo big!

I posted some more pics of Madelyn playing in the yard and enjoying Easter! We wish we could have been closer to all of our family for the holiday but I hope the pictures make up for it! Enjoy!

New pics of Maddy Boo

Hey Y'all!!
Spring has arrived and Lil miss Maddy loves being outside! Everything has been going well with us and we recently made a trip to Houston to see Maddy's cousin Gavin. They just loved playing with each other..teaching each other their bad habits! Madelyn even started drinking out of a sippy cup when she saw him doing it! Yay! She is getting so big so fast and I posted some new pics to show all of you! We will post more soon!

Madelyns first birthday party!!

Well it is still 5 days until our princess turns "the big one" but we had her party over this past weekend and she had a blast! I cannot believe how time has flown by and she is almost one! She is starting to walk now and it is so much fun to see her stand up on her own and take those first steps! Pretty soon she will be running around the house! She has been drinking whole milk for about two weeks and is on to big girl foods as well. My baby isn't such a baby anymore but she is turning into a little lady:) I have posted pics from her party and I hope y'all enjoy. This next week I will be getting her one year pics done so I will post more soon, Much love to all of you!

Thanksgiving 2008!

Well we had a very exciting first Thanksgiving for Madelyn and the family. First we traveled to Dallas to visit Jared's family and we had a great time. Miss Madelyn got to visit with all of her grandparents and great grandparents and she just wore herself out with kisses and hugs! Then we traveled to Houston to visit my family and Madelyn got to see her cousins and oh there where so many there! She had so much fun playing with the kids she slept great every night! My mom had a local petting zoo come to the house for the kids and Madelyn got to ride her first pony! She was a little intimidated by the goat at first but then she really seemed to like it. We all had a great week and we are now home decorating for Christmas! We are so excited for Madelyn's first Christmas probably a little more than she is! Well enjoy the new pics and soon we will post some of her and her visit to see Santa Clause!

Maddy Playing!

Pumpkin Farm!

Over the past weekend we took Madelyn to a pumpkin farm and she got her own pumpkin! She was so interested in what it was she was sitting on! Once we got her on the hay she put her arms in the air and wouldn't even touch it! What a girl....she cried a lil too:) I just posted the new pics of her on the pumpkins so go check them out!

Madelyns first halloween!

Well, I don't have any pictures yet of her in her costume but I posted a few of her in her pumpkin outfit and new hairbow mommy made for her so go check them out!! Costume pics to come soon!

Autumn fun

Well it is mid October now and we are soooo excited for Halloween! Little Madelyn is going to be a ladybug and the cutest one ever! This past weekend we went to watch a soccer game for our friends daughter and then went to the Hutto "Olde Tymes Festival" to see what our town is all about. A bunch of rednecks is all we found...haha Madelyn did get to play some games though and it was a fun experience.

As for all of us we are doing well and I will post some new pics from the past weekend. Madelyn goes to get her flu shot tomorrow so y'all wish her luck that she doesn't cry too much!! More updates to come soon!

Thanks for the wait....

I know it's been a while since we've posted on here, and you can blame 40% on me, and 60% on the wife... well, 70% on the wife, 30% on me... ;o)

The kiddo is doing great. She is amazing her parents each and every day which leaves us guessing as to what comes next. At 4 months she was rolling over, 5 months she was crawling, 6 months she was standing, and now at 7.5 months we're walking. I know, I can't believe it either. We'll post some pics of her walking and see if we can get a video uploaded as well.

Other than looking after our little superwoman, the Bristow's headed to Dallas this last weekend for Madelyn to meet some extended and immediate family and she did great. Normally, she is afraid of guys ( score one for dad! ) but she took to Great Grandpa Bristow quick with big hugs (she's a hugger now ).

Well stay tuned for more updates and I'll be sure to keep the wife on top of this.

Sad Sad Month....

As July comes to a close, we look back and realize that this was a very sad, but exciting month. Our little girl is growing up a little too quick for our taste as we had two unexpected firsts.... Her first tooth and her first crawl... At first, we thought it was great! But now we realize, that if we turn our back on her for one second, she's making a mad dash towards the closest electronic. Looks like it's finally time to start "Baby Proofing" the house.

Other than those two biggies, we're all doing well. Stay tuned for more updates later on in the week.

End of July update....

This has been a very exciting month for the Bristow family... We witnessed the marriage of some good friends of ours and got to watch our baby girl take her first crawl! And if that was not enough, then hold on to your pants, because she cut her first tooth! We are in the early design stages to figure out just how we're going to get a picture of it since she can't keep her tongue in her mouth but hopefully soon we'll have one up on here.

Other than that, we are still trying to narrow down what's wrong with Genea. I think it's gout by the way she smells ;o) ( jk, love you wife) She had a doctors appointment today and they referred her to a gallbladder specialist. ( sp? ) Her next appointment is on Thursday at 9:00am. So hopefully we'll know a little more what exactly is going on.

Other than that, nothing big happening here. Stay tuned for more pics of our little boogerwulf ( Madelyn ) and take care!
