Toys for Tots

Dave and I try to do something charitable each year at Christmas time and this year we decided to donate presents to "Toys for Tots".  We picked 3 girls and 3 boys at random and then donated the gifts to the Salvation Army. It was so much fun buying presents for little kids and it definitely gave us a taste of what's to come.

The Market at Christmas

Dave and I went to the Market tonight for some Christmas Northwest style. There was the most beautiful sunset! The entire market street was lined with Christmas trees along the rooftops.  It smelled of fish guts and pine. Ha Ha. Instead of flowers this time of year they sell beautiful pine wreaths, mistletoe and holly. Ahhh, lovely. Wish you all could of been there! 

Here are some of the pictures from "Thrill Me", the two man musical I did (with fantastic reviews!).

10 Weeks!!!

Here is a little picture of our baby.  All grown up and out of it's bean stage. It's kind of hard to see but look closely.  The top round part is the head, the protruding area on the front of the head is the forehead.  The bottom area is where the cute little rump is.  To the middle right, where there are faint lines are where the fingers are.  You can kind of see the right arm as well.  The circle in the back of the head is the yolk sac, just hanging out.  The next time we get to see our little dude will be at 20 weeks when we get to find out if we're having a boy or a girl!!

Here are some more....

I'm learning this whole blog thing.... The earlier pictures are from Cabaret and West Side Story.  Here are a couple more, one from Best Little Whorehouse in Texas.  I send more later!!

I was just looking at the pictures that I put on and realized that the dates are wrong. I didn't catch that soon enough how funny. I was using Grandma Madsen camrea. (should be on Tayler birthday 11/5/08, and on Halloween it should be 10/31/08) I hope everyone is having a great day. Love you all, Mom

Do you remeber the skirt that Maren has on

I made Tayler work for her presant

















She blew each one out 1 at a time

Tayler on her new Barbie bike

Gracie, Tayler and Maren on Halloween

Tayler on her 5th brithday being very surprized about her bike





Charee on Halloween isn't she sexy

Wasn't Jared scary (hee hee)

Maren was a scarecrowI think she was a cutie

I think it is very exciting even if it is a fuzzy little bean. It won't look that that way for long.

I am so happy for you guys, you will be great parents.

Love Mom

Here's a picture of our little bean from Thursday.  We're so excited and can't believe that we're going to be parents! It may look like a little fuzzy dot, but isn't the cutest fuzzy dot you've ever seen?

BABY!!!!

IS that RIGHT?????

YUP, it's positive!

WOOO HOOO!!!

Before......

And After.

Our little Egg'os

beautiful seattle!

It was such a beautiful SUN-day....wanted to share it with everyone!

Dave and I picked a ton of Blackberries by the train tracks. And this is a view near our house.

the bum shot!

Just to give you an idea, this whole thing had to go in my tush! Dave was a brave surgeon, and did a great job.

Mom giving some last minute instructions





Are they playing around or is this real, OK so its real playing around.






OK, so lets try this. Jared had a football game in Cedar city on Thurs. night the 18th of Sept. It could have been better for the team. On Friday night the 19th Cedar played Dixie at Dixie, it was Dixie's homecoming, and Dixie won big so Jared was happier. Sat was the Home coming dance and so here is some pics of Jared and Afton. Don't they look nice.
Smile I remember some of your pictures from dates and maybe we should dig them up to really smile again. Oh well thats another blog.
Love Ya All, Dad
