The Harris Family

Snow Day!

2011-01-25T19:00:00.001-08:00

While my sister was visiting from Portland we decided to head up to Baker to do some sledding! Grandma T, Julia and the 4 of us all packed into the Acadia and headed up the mountain. The weather conditions were not the greatest but we had fun and the hot cocoa afterwards was worth the trip! Here are some pics from our snowy adventure!

Holiday Recap...

2011-01-03T13:57:00.000-08:00

We started off the season with a new tradition.... "Elf on the Shelf" was introduced to the kids and they LOVED it! An elf was sent to our house from Santa to "watch" throughout the day and report back to Santa every night on how Madelyn and Ayden had been behaving. Since he leaves to see Santa at night, every morning he is in a new spot. The kids had so much fun trying to find him each morning! The book also suggests you name your elf so our elf was named "Taylor". He was a big deal in our home this year and I have a feeling he will continue to be many years to come!

We took the kids picture in front of the tree again this year for our annual Christmas card and as always Mommy and Daddy act goofy to get a smile or laugh from each of them... :)

Madelyn had her preschool Christmas program again this year but this year was very special in that she was chosen to be Mary (or as Maddy called it, "baby Jesus' mommy"). It was precious to watch her take her "role" so serious and watch her motherly instincts come through! She is pretty adorable if I do say so my self. :)

We spent Christmas Eve at Grandma Pam and Grandpa Gerry's house again this year. It was great spending time with almost all the fam, Mike and Happy couldn't make it this year but it was fun Skyping with them and seeing all their outside decorations at their house in Las Vegas. We had a fabulous dinner and enjoyed just being together!

Mr. and Mrs. Claus were up nice and late putting together toys for Christmas morning which of course was all worth it! The kids were very excited and happy to know that Santa delivered on 3 things each of them asked for! :) Bryan had to work Christmas Day but we got up extra early to be able to spend some time in the morning with him.

This time of year is definitely my favorite, the joy, the happiness, and the time with family is truly the greatest gift of all.

Christmas Tree!

2010-12-07T22:47:00.001-08:00

Each year we bundle up and head out to the Big Lake Tree Farm to find the "perfect" tree, this year both kids were so excited and really helped look for the best tree ever! It was a sunny crisp day and we indeed found a wonderful tree! Here are some pictures of our day....

I'm back!

2010-11-18T11:44:00.000-08:00

Ok.... I know that I have said in the past that I am back to blogging but I really am now!! I was finding it hard to post pictures with my laptop so I bought a wireless mouse and it makes it so much easier that I am now dedicated to keeping my blog up to date! :)

The biggest and best thing that has happened recently is the arrival of our new nephew Owen!! Carly and Brian welcomed Owen Fredrick on October 7 and he is just precious! I was so blessed to be able to be with Carly and Brian during the birth and I truly learned how strong, dedicated and determined my sister really is...I am so proud to be her sister! Here are some pictures of that amazing day....

Easter!

2010-05-06T10:45:00.000-07:00

We had a sunny Easter for the first time in a couple years so the kids were SO excited to hunt for eggs in our backyard! The Easter Bunny left baskets for the kids and hid lots of eggs for Maddy and Ayden to find. We finished up the day with an Easter dinner at my mom's, it was truly a wonderful day!

The cupcakes I made for Easter, dark chocolate cake with carmel buttercream!

Ayden's Birthday Party!

2010-04-06T12:23:00.000-07:00

So I am blogging again!! :) Our sweet boy turned 2 so we celebrated at our local Children's Museum again this year. We decided on a train theme since Ayden is slightly obsessed with trains! :) My girlfriends and I planned an adorable and fun party...here are some pictures to share!

Sock Puppets!

2009-10-16T20:39:00.000-07:00

My sister Julia made a Sock Puppet Kit for Madelyn's 4th Birthday and on this rainy October day it was perfect for some great indoor play! Both kids really got into it, Ayden mainly liked to go through all the fun stuff and toss buttons on the floor but Madelyn was very excited and loved every moment of designing her sock puppet! The kids are so lucky to have such a creative and loving aunt and I admire my sister so much, this blog is definately dedicated to her!! Thank you for the fun activity that I got to share with both my kids!! Here are the pictures of our fun afternoon project!

Madelyn waiting patiently to get started!

All Comers Track 09

2009-08-31T19:46:00.000-07:00

Madelyn participated in the Burlington's All Comer Track once again this year and once again LOVED IT! Even Ayden ran a few races, it was pretty darn cute! She is so fast and really loves to run and run and run.... here are some pictures of her track meets! :)

On your mark, get set, GOOOOO!

GO MADDY!

Ayden's first race, 15 months old! He was smiling and talking the whole time!

Madelyn and Torance so excited to see each other!

Fast as lighting.... :)

That's my girl!

Bryan's Promotion

2009-08-31T10:37:00.001-07:00

Bryan was promoted to Captain in the Mount Vernon Fire Department this past June. He works very hard and we can't be more proud of him!! Here are some pictures taken at the swearing in ceremony.

It's official!!

Visit from Grandma and Grandpa Herold!

2009-06-23T21:30:00.001-07:00

We were truly blessed to have a visit from Grandma Cathy and Grandpa Dave this last month. They spent a week sightseeing and camping in our beautiful pacific northwest. We went to the beach which Madelyn and Ayden LOVED, we had beautiful weather and we took lots of pictures since we don't get to see them as often as we would like to! Thank you so much for spending time with us Grandma Cathy and Grandpa Dave! We LOVE YOU!

TULIPS!

2009-06-02T21:56:00.000-07:00

A little behind on the posting.... and I realized I hadn't posted any tulip pictures yet! The tulips were gorgeous again this year and the kids loved running up and down the fields here are a few of our pictures....

Mothers Day

2009-06-02T21:21:00.000-07:00

This year Mothers Day was pretty special since Ayden was also dedicated during our Sunday service at church! He was the only child that wouldn't let Pastor Hubbard hold him (little stinker) :) so I did the little runway walk so everyone could see and get pictures of our little "fire"! After church everyone came over to our house to have a nice BBQ in the backyard while the kids played. The sun was shining and to be able to spend it with family made it a pretty perfect day for this Mom!

Rollerskating!

2009-05-27T21:24:00.000-07:00

We took Madelyn rollerskating for the first time! Our local roller rink does Toddler Skate on Tuesdays and Maddy had a BLAST! The adults can go on the rink in shoes to help the little ones and it is so much fun.... Ayden even trotted around the rink (in shoes not skates) :) My mom and both of my sisters even came by to participate and cheer Maddy on! I included some really cute videos of Madelyn skating... (don't forget to pause the music so you can hear her cute little voice) ENJOY!

Getting ready to go.... Daddy is putting on her skates!

Doing the "Hokey Pokey" with Daddy and Aunt Julia

So proud of our girl!

Easter

2009-05-27T20:45:00.001-07:00

This year we decided to let Madelyn dye her very own eggs for the first time! We made it a special treat once little brother went to bed, and she had so much fun. She enjoyed watching the eggs turn colors and truly loved every minute of it!

We had a rainy Easter Sunday so it involved hunting for eggs indoors again this year! :) Maddy still had fun searching for eggs at home and at Grandma Pam's and Grandpa Ger's house too! Ayden was more interested in figuring out how to bite into the candy containers..... :) So much fun!

Ayden's 1st Birthday!

2009-04-12T20:45:00.000-07:00

On March 30th our sweet baby boy turned 1! I can't believe how fast this year went by! He is so busy which of course keeps us busy and next thing you know he's a year old. Since he has been walking for about 3 months now he thinks he can conquer just about anything.... he goes up and down the stairs by himself now, he climbs up anything he is strong enough to climb and loves to open ALL cupboard doors including drawers in every room. He is quite the "talker" too, he is saying things like, "what's that?", "fire truck", "da da da", "dog", "I did it!", "go go go go", "woof", and the list goes on.... He loves playing chase with Madelyn and Daddy, and he bursts into giggles if he thinks you are about to "get him". He is full of mischief but at the same time a sweet and caring little boy!

We decided to have Ayden's birthday party at the Children's Museum which turned out to be perfect for all of the birthday boy's pint sized friends and their older siblings! :) He did really well and didn't have any melt downs, the only big cry we got was right after Maddy helped blow out his candle he accidentally stuck his finger in the hot wax... ouch! A few tears were shed but once he tasted the sweet frosting everything seemed better. Here are some pictures from the party. Enjoy!

Getting ready for the party, both my sisters Carly and Julia were there to lend a hand!

The infamous homemade cupcakes, thank you to my mom and sisters for helping out!

The "Grandma's" giving Ayden a sip of his first juice!

Happy Birthday to you.....

That darn wax ruining all the fun.....

Hmmmm that tastes pretty good!

Our Annual Harris Family Vacation

2009-03-31T20:27:00.000-07:00

Every year in February we pack up and travel to spend time with Bryan's family. This year Grandma Dixie, Grandpa Bud, Uncle Kelt, Aunt Christa and Cousin Rane meet up with us in Hood River, Oregon for some fun relaxing time together. We stayed in a nice big home, cooked up a storm and had plenty of sweets to last us for quite awhile! :) Thank you to Grandma and Grandpa for spoiling us again this year!! Here are some pictures of our fun trip....

Coos Bay Trip

2009-03-04T13:28:00.000-08:00

At the end of January we took a road trip down to Coos Bay, Oregon to visit our new niece Elliyah! She was born December 26th and is so precious! We had so much fun playing and relaxing with Grandpa Dave, Grandma Cathy, Aunt Emily, Aunt Katie, Uncle John, Cousin Samuel and of course Baby Ellie too! Here are some pictures of our great trip!

Grandpa and Maddy playing and being silly together!

Ayden's WALKING.... yikes!

2009-02-17T18:51:00.000-08:00

That's right our baby boy is walking! He officially started about a week shy of turning 10 months old, so yes Bryan was right both of our babies walked at 9 months old! He is not fearful at all and just goes for it which has resulted in a few bruises! Over all he loves his independence and the fact that he can walk with Madelyn keeps him pretty happy! He is making a lot more noise as well, he says mama, dada, what's that, ohhhhhh and go go go go!

Here are some winter park pictures, videos of Ayden walking and a few of his cute big sister too!

Messy, messy, messy...all clean!!

2009-01-16T20:58:00.000-08:00

We decided to introduce Ayden to teething biscuits and as you will see in the pictures he loved them! He has been wanting to chew everything including mommy at times:(.... he now has his 2 bottom teeth and both front teeth have popped through and are pushing their way down!

The other favorite time in the Harris household is BATHTIME! Madelyn and Ayden take baths together and have so much fun. Ayden loves to splash and is always trying to stand up and walk around the tub so Madelyn helps me keep him safe by reminding him to be careful! :) Enjoy the latest pics!

Merry Christmas!!

2008-12-30T22:06:00.001-08:00

This holiday season has been so much fun, with all the snow and Madelyn being so into Christmas, it has truly made this year magical! We spent Christmas Eve at Grandpa and Grandma Schutte's house with the whole family, then on Christmas Day we spent the morning at home with Daddy before he had to leave for work :(... then off to Grandpa and Grandma Pugh's house for more Christmas cheer! Later that day we drove over to Oak Harbor to celebrate Christmas with my dad's side of the family, it was great to see everyone and spend time together. Last but definately not least we celebrated Christmas with Grandpa and Grandma Harris on Saturday at our house. We had a nice dinner, great fondue dessert, and had fun watching the kids play with their grandparents!

We appreciate all the thoughtful gifts, the well wishes and the love from all our family and friends. I am a little sad to see my favorite time of year come to a close, but I have to say I am excited to see what 2009 has in store for the Harris family!

Grandma's Projects

2008-12-22T10:57:00.000-08:00

As many of you know my mother retired last year which now allows more "Grandma Time" and more "Grandma-Maddy" projects..... here are some pictures of their Christmas projects (did I mention how much I LOVE that my mom is retired?). Madelyn and Ayden are so lucky to have such a creative and dedicated grandma! We love you Grandma Pam!!

Cold play and warm treats!

2008-12-18T22:45:00.000-08:00

The snow has continued to fall... which has led to more snow play! Once Madelyn had decided that she was too cold and ready to go inside, mommy made some hot cocoa complete with mini marshmellows, yum! yum! Here are some more pictures of our frosty fun....

Let it Snow, Let it Snow, Let it Snow!

2008-12-14T21:54:00.000-08:00

We woke up this morning to a beautiful snowy winter wonderland and Madelyn could not be more excited, so we layered up and went outside to play in the snow. Madelyn made her first snow angel and had lots of fun just running around. It was really cold and the snow was so dry it made it a little hard to build a big snowman so Daddy and Maddy made a little snowman :). Madelyn and her neighbor friend Chloe had a great time stacking snowballs and exploring the white covered neighborhood. Ayden even came out for a little bit to experience the snow and to watch Maddy play. Here are some pictures of our fun morning....

Our Annual Christmas Tree Chopping

2008-12-14T20:50:00.000-08:00

As we do every year we bundled up and headed to Big Lake Tree Farm to choose the perfect Christmas tree. Aunt Carly, Uncle Brian and Cousin Zoe ;) came as well to help out and take some pictures. While the kids watched How the Grinch Stole Christmas we decorated the tree and the house, making it feel and smell like Christmas!

A Day of Thanks....

2008-12-07T21:19:00.000-08:00

This year Grandpa and Grandma Pugh hosted Thanksgiving in their new beautiful home. It was such a nice day to get together with family, eat yummy food, have good conversation and even manage to play a few family games (much to Madelyn's enjoyment)! :) We have alot to be thankful for in our lives, we are so blessed to have faith, family and friends who all mean so much to us. Bryan and I are so proud of our family and love that we get to share it will all of you! Happy Thanksgiving!!

Snotty Nose November

2008-11-19T20:08:00.000-08:00

Well.... this week both babies got colds! This was Ayden's first cold and on top of it he is teething! :( His bottom 2 teeth have both come in and I think a few more may show before too long! We have spent alot of time indoors but the kids are on the mend and we actually managed to get outside today to enjoy the crisp sunny fall day. Madelyn helped Daddy "lawn-vac" the backyard (aka picking up all the tree debris) and I introduced Ayden to leaves. I am glad the week is coming to an end and hopefully we won't have to endure too many more illnesses this season! Here are some pictures of our week....

Seaside in November

2008-11-06T21:50:00.000-08:00

Early this week we loaded up the kids in the car and took a trip to Seaside, Oregon to visit family. It was so great to spend time with Grandma Cathy, Grandpa Dave, Aunt Christa, Uncle Kelt, cousin Rane, Aunt Katie, Uncle John, cousin Sam, and Aunt Emily! Once it stopped raining :) we played on the beach, took in the local aquarium, and even played in the "hot pool" as Maddy calls it! :) It was so fun to watch all the cousins interact and "play" together! Time with family is precious and we appreciated everyone taking time to do so! We love you all!

Happy Halloween!

2008-10-31T22:38:00.000-07:00

We had a fun and successful Halloween this year! Madelyn was Little Red Riding Hood and Ayden was a giraffe. They both did really well and looked cute as can be! After stopping by both "local" grandparents houses, we went to spend time with our friends at the Stewarts house for the 3rd annual Halloween bash! We had Ariel the mermaid, Sebastian the crab, Dorothy, a lion, a hotdog, a ninja, a SWAT member, a queen, a butterfly, a princess, little red riding hood, a giraffe and a bee! :) Here are some pictures of the fun festivities!

Our 6th annual pumpkin patch and carving party!

2008-10-26T21:55:00.000-07:00

For the last 6 years, we along with Carly and Brian have gotten together to carve pumpkins. We all go to Gordon's Pumpkin Patch in West Mount Vernon, pick out our pumpkins and take them to our house to carve them up! This is the first year that Madelyn actually had interest in what we were doing and even helped mommy and daddy a little bit. :) This is such a fun tradition that we do with Carly and Brian and we thank them for "helping" us out as much as they do! You guys rock!! :)

Portland Trip to see Julia and Gabe!!

2008-10-19T21:28:00.000-07:00

The kids, myself, Grandma Pam and Aunt Carly piled into the car and took a road trip to Portland, Oregon to visit Aunt Julia and Uncle Gabe. On October 21st Julia turns 27 so we went to wish her an early happy birthday and to spend some time in beautiful Portland. We had so much fun going to the farmers market, playing and running around the park, seeing the beautiful rose garden, and of course eating some fantastic food! We even all managed to have some fun in the hotel pool! It was a such a nice weekend to be with family.

Happy Birthday dear Julia, we all love you!!!

So many firsts, so little time!

2008-10-07T18:44:00.001-07:00

Ayden is 6 months old and having so many "first moments" it's hard to keep up! He started on solid foods this month and as you can see in the pictures below, big sister Maddy was quick to lend a helping hand! He started saying "ma ma ma" but only when he is mad or sad, which is exactly what Madelyn did! Last weekend he got his 2nd haircut already, and unlike the first haircut he didn't quite "enjoy" the experience, he wasn't too happy about needing to hold still. :) Ayden also had his first big boy bath (no more infant bath tub) and he loves it!! He now weighs 17 pounds 11 oz and is 27 inches long, he is very healthy and is very very happy. Here are some fun cute pictures of our "little milestone man" and of course some big sister pictures as well!

Busy boy on the move....

2008-10-02T12:38:00.000-07:00

Our baby boy is moving like a big boy! Ayden is so determined to get to wherever his big sister Madelyn is, he's practically crawling! He prefers to stand rather than sit and can move across the room by army crawling in no time! He keeps us all on our toes and baby proofing the house looks like it will come sooner than we thought!

We went to the park a few weeks back and discovered that Ayden loves to swing, something his big sister is not too fond of! :) Here are some updated pictures to share!

September's Airforce weekend

2008-09-14T20:25:00.000-07:00

As many of you know, one weekend a month Bryan goes down to McChord Airforce base to fulfill his mandatory military duty. Most of the time the kids and I go with Bryan to spend time with Grandpa and Grandma Harris and to get out of the house for a few days! :) The weather was beautiful and we took full advantage by spending pretty much all of our time outdoors! Dixie and I took the kids to Owens Beach at Point Defiance Park in Tacoma and of course Maddy went right into the very cold ocean water without complaint.... crazy kid! We also went to the Curran Orchard Cider Squeeze and had a picnic in the warm September sun. Here are some pictures of our busy weekend!

Madelyn turns 3!

2008-08-29T23:45:00.000-07:00

Our baby girl is 3!! Madelyn is talking so much more and having pretty smart conversations with her daddy and I that we are sometimes in awe with what she cleverly comes up with. She in a princess kick right now and loves to "dress up" in pretty clothes... she is definitely all girl!! She still loves her stories, knows almost all her letters, and is quite the good singer! Madelyn is such an amazing big sister to Ayden we are so blessed that she truly adores him and has so far, done really well with having a sibling to share mom and dad with. She is definitely a daddy's girl right now with no complaints from daddy :) We are so proud of Maddy and we are both excited to see what fun experiences our new "3 year old" will bring!

All Comers Track

2008-08-29T23:11:00.000-07:00

This summer Madelyn participated in All Comers Track at Burlington Highschool. It is track events for all ages, and one of her little friends did it last year and had such a good time that we decided to give it a try this year and was it ever FUN!!! Madelyn truly loved it so much she couldn't stop talking about it. She participated in the 50 meter hurdles, the 50 meter sprint, and the 100 meter sprint! Everyone gets ribbons for running however they do hand out special ribbons for the 1st, 2nd, and 3rd runners in each heat (I know it's so Olympic sounding isn't it). The program is every Wednesday evening for 6 weeks during the summer. I think I had as much fun as Madelyn getting her ready (complete with adorable track outfits of course) and cheering her on in each race. Bryan had to miss the first couple meets but was able to make it to the last few and was just as proud of her as I was. Grandpa Ger, and Grandma Pam along with Aunt Carly, Aunt Stacey and lots of friends came to watch our little track star. She loved to "run fast" with her friends Torance and Isabella. We can't wait to do it all again next summer!!

1st Haircut

2008-08-29T23:09:00.000-07:00

Yes, that's right our son is 3 months old and getting his first haircut!! It wasn't really planned, but Madelyn was in for her "summer" trim and I was asking about getting Ayden's haircut and Madelyn's stylist had an opening, soooo we got a big boy haircut! Ayden did extremely well, didn't make a peep the whole time, it probably felt good to get the long locks off his neck and out of his ears! He looks so much more grown up however is still just as adorable as ever!

Time with Julia and Gabe

2008-08-29T22:47:00.000-07:00

In June, Bryan had a firefighter conference in Vancouver, WA. So we all decided to go and spend time in Portland with Aunt Julia and Uncle Gabe! The weather was gorgeous and HOT which made it that much more fun for all of us to be outside and play! We went to the Portland Zoo, went swimming at our hotel, and just enjoyed spending time together as a family. We miss Julia and Gabe not living closer but having them live in such a beautiful city gives us good reason to get out and take a mini vacation to visit Portland more often. We love you guys!!

Coos Bay Trip

2008-08-29T22:43:00.000-07:00

At the end of June we took a trip to visit family and celebrate our nephew Sam's 1st birthday in Coos Bay, Oregon. It was Ayden's first "long" car trip and he did great!! It was so relaxing and nice to spend time all together! We spent time at the beach which Madelyn LOVED! She especially liked being buried in the sand by Daddy! We also walked to the park with great grandma Lane to feed the ducks and climb and run all around the playground. Thank you Grandma Cathy and Grandpa Dave for providing a place for everyone to sleep and hang out at. We love our Oregon family so much! Here are some pictures of our fun filled trip!

Memorial Day Fun

2008-08-29T21:53:00.000-07:00

Bryan's sister Christa, brother in law Kelt and our beautiful nephew Rane drove all the way from southern Oregon to visit us and to meet Ayden. We had great weather and spent most of our time outside in our backyard "walking" around with Rane and watching Maddy show off her stuff! Grandpa Bud and Grandma Dixie came up as well to spend time with all the grandbabies since we were all together, guess who was more tired at the end of the day the kids or Grandma Dixie.... :) Thank you for making the long trip to visit us Reeves family we appreicated it so much!!

1 month old and growing...

2008-06-10T21:19:00.000-07:00

Life is busy with 2!! Ayden is growing so fast and Madelyn is enjoying being the "big" sister. Mom is still not getting much shut eye but is optimistic that a solid nights sleep is in her near future! Here are some more pictures to share.

Our beautiful new addition...

2008-05-31T23:15:00.000-07:00

On March 30th at around 2am we welcomed our new son Ayden James Harris. He weighed in at 8 lbs 3oz and was 21 inches long. He came out with a ton of hair and looked alot like his big sister Madelyn. We feel so completely blessed to have another beautiful healthy baby to add to our growing family.
