Wow...where has the time gone?

Since the last blog, which was only 3 MONTHS AGO, a lot has happened:) Let's see, where do I start. Well, we moved into our new house and we are loving it!! A few weeks later we went on a cruise to the Carribbean! (Pictures are coming soon) A friend of ours was getting married on the cruise and Jay was the best man. Then fall fest was here...which was fun to dress Madison up for. It's amazing the things that are fun now that we have a a child:) And then Madison turned the big 1 year old on November 2nd! I can't believe she's 1 already. That day all I thought about is what was happening one year ago. I have loved every stage of her life so far and it just keeps getting better and better. She's walking now and laughing all of the time. I just love her so much that words can't even describe it.

Fall Fest...she escaped from the zoo!

It took me forever to get that on her face...she wasn't liking it!

My mom bought this cute little lion costume at the goodwill before Madison was born...it was a little big but it worked and she was seriously so cute in it!

Remlinger Farms

If you have kids you have to take them to Remlinger Farms in Carnation! It's so cut and fun there. I went on a day when they had a special on the price and I do hear it's a little spendy on normal days but if you have the time and a little extra $ it's well worth it. They have pumpkins and a petting zoo, a train and rides for little ones. Here are just a few pics...

My niece, Tori...isn't she cute?

Having Fun

She loves to eat and make a mess!

Cousin's

Tori & Madison love going on laundry basket rides together. Usually Tori tries to sit on Madison when she's playing but this is the only time when the tables turn and Madison get's to sit on her.

Here are just a few updated pictures. I love the sunshine that we've been getting...hopefully it sticks around so I can dress Madison up in those cute summer dresses she's got:) Our house is up,sided, roofed, wired, plumbed, insulated and probably more since we were there yesterday! They move so fast with everything! We CAN'T WAIT to move in!!! Our new closing date is September 19th. It's going to be so nice to be back into a house that is ours and with more square footage!!! Madison is becoming so vocal and more mobile. She's not crawling yet but she's loving holding on to my hands and walking everywhere. It's a back killer but she loves it. I just had a busy week last week with the Leadership Gala and man was I exhausted by the end of it...it still amazes me how much longer it takes me to get things done with a little one! But I enjoyed it nonetheless. I just created a blog for my photography. I've been trying for a year now to create a website but haven't quite mastered it yet so I figured I would start here. I get a lot of questions if I've got a website so this will work for the time being...and like I said with everything taking me twice as long I guess I get one more year to finish the site:) So go visit: http://www.mjensenphoto.blogspot.com/ or go to my link. Here are a few I just posted on there!
