Trick or Treat!!!

Finally got all of the pumpkins carved the other night

 Jenny's pumpkin

 



Madison's pumpkin

My pumpkin that was carved a while ago and has been rotting away, which is why the mouth is all messed up.

Maddie Monster ready to help hand out candy on beggar's night

5:02, 2 minutes in she was ready for a quick nap 

Back in action and ready to help out!

RAWWWWRRRRRR!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

And an hour later she's tuckered out again. A monster's gotta sleep too!

...and then hungry and ready for some sweet potatoes.  She likes them! And so does daddy. Seriously. They're pretty good.

 

Out of character and about ready for bed!

 

 

And the moment you've been waiting for!

4 Month Pictures

Oh, hello there.  Welcome to my blog. 

Today we will be playing what I like to call "peekaboo". Allow me to demonstrate.

Oh, where did everything go?!

 

 Oh, there we are. Wait a minute. And....

Peekaboo! I see you!

I don't know about this monkey lady taking up so much room on my special seat!

 

Thanks for stopping by! I hope you had a wonderful time. Peace out, girl scout!

Four month check up

Madison had her 4 month check-up last Friday. She is now in the 75th percentile for both height and weight - weighing 15.6 lbs and measuring almost 25 inches in length. She is doing very well! She also had another round of vaccinations and did an awesome job. I got my flu shot too so we were being strong for each other because neither one of us like needles!!

Anyway, we got the go ahead to start feeding her solids. We decided to start with peas. We got her reaction on video. Enjoy!

Happy Halloween!

Had to share.  Snapped a picture of her before heading off to daycare this morning because she was just looking especially cute!  Her daddy doesn't look too shabby, either! :)

Happy Thursday!

Brinkmeyer Family Picture Day!

Last Saturday morning the whole Brinkmeyer crew got together to do some family pictures.  We were worried the weather would be too cold, but we are a tough bunch so we stuck it out and got some really good shots!  Here are just a few of my favorites after I did some editing and touch-ups of my own :)

 

 

Maddie and Mommy all ready to go to the photo shoot!

Baptism Day!

Madison was baptized on September 23rd.  We were blessed to have a beautiful day and a houseful of family to help us celebrate!  Here are some pictures of our weekend (thank you Charlie and Marilyn for the photos!):

We had a family bon fire on Saturday night.  Maddie had fun hanging out with daddy and watching all the action!

Madison was a perfect angel during her baptism :)



 

 

Jared and Patti stood with us and are Madison's Godparents.  Thanks you two! :)

 

 

Here's the whole Brinkmeyer clan! Marilyn, Charlie, Lucas,  Jared, Patti, Connor, Danielle and Caitlin.

Grandma Marilyn brought a delicious cake from the same place we had our wedding cake made.  YUMMY!

Maddie didn't really know what to think about that yet...

 



Thank you to all who came and for all of the wonderful gifts we received.  It was a perfect day!
