Morning Fun...

This is what I get to wake up to MOST mornings. ;) Some aren't this perfect, but for the most part they really are............

Ram Fans...........

We love Rockford Ram football season.... :)

We Can't Wait Kellie and Tony!!

We are sooooooooo excited for Tony and Kellie (Tom's sister) who became engaged this past weekend. You can see that they are so happy and excited as well.

The girly part of me needs to mention the AMAZING job Tony did picking out Kellie's ring...it is absolutely BEAUTIFUL, and what a rock! These pictures don't do it justice at all. So pretty...wow. We love you both and can't wait to share in your special day!

Handsome Man....

I just wanted to share a few 6 month pictures of Cru. Our Handsome little man. His first tooth broke through yesterday...so he has been a little crabby for the past week. It's gotta feel some much better when it come through! Now...only 31 to go! :D

6 months old........

I can't believe that Cru is already 6 months old! Holy Moley.............where does the time go. He is such a happy baby, especially for all of this health stuff. He rolls over like it's his job and is ALMOST sitting up totally unsupported. He chatters like a mad man "dadadadblablabla" :) So great. I just can't believe how fast time goes. Man.......

Summer Fun!

Even though the summer has not been the BEST weather, we have still had some great times outside. Not as much time in my Parents pool as we would have liked...but who knows September might be 90 degrees!! :)

We went with the Burkholders to Binder Park zoo and also up to Torch Lake with the Kellers, Vander Walls and Greenlands. Tom and I were able to get away up to Boyne Mt. for a pro/am golf tournament (which Tom's team one!). That was a wonderful get away. :) We spent a week up at Bay Harbor with the Hosford clan which was a blast! The kids had a great time. All in all the summer has been wonderful! Tom's back to work, and reality has set in...fall is closely approaching. :) Have a great end of the summer all!!

I have posted pics of most of our summer time...I still have more to go trough. :)

A little summer update

Time sure is a fly'n!!! :D I can't believe it's already the middle of July....man, where does the time go.

Maddie is just a delight and growing to fast. Writing and drawing all the time, just loving this warm weather. Although when the sun is shining brightly she does complain a bit... :) She is honestly the the best big sister in the world....and I'm not just saying that. She takes such great care of Cru and thinks of him first always. It's really a wonderful thing to witness. :) We couldn't ask for more.

Cru is over 4 months now and is ALMOST rolling over. If he is ever put down, I'm sure he will. LOL...yeah, I love to hold him. Whatever, he's my last. :D He is charming and sweet as can be. He find Maddie just a riot, and laughs constantly as she giggles in front of him. I really think they will be friends. I'm sure feuding friends at times, but they sure show a great deal of love now...

We are sooooo enjoying Tom at home. Although GOLF has taken over our lives, it's still wonderful having him home. ;) Every week we seem to have at least one house showing, so that is keeping us busy as well. Here's hope'n we sell this summer!!!

We hope you all are enjoying these summer months and are taking time to relax. Hugs and love!

The Newest "Hosford" Grandbaby...Kane Charles Bibler

Oooooooooooo...he's SOOO sweet! I'm so thrilled to share that Kane Charles Bibler was born on 6/20 at 11:33 in the morning. He was 8lbs. 2oz. and 21 1/4 inches long! :D Tom's sister Katie was a ROCKSTAR and had a long labor and delivery. Way to go Katie! I know that both Katie and Austin are just thrilled and love that little man to pieces. We can't wait to watch Kane and Cru play together in the future. :D

Dancy Dance

Maddie had her first dance recital on Saturday and did an AMAZING job. They danced to "I'm looking over a four leaf clover" which was darling. SO cute! :D She wasn't nervous one little bit and rocked up on stage. :) She can't wait to do it again next year.

Happy 4th Birthday Maddie!!

Happy 4th Birthday Maddie!!

Today we wish Maddie a happy 4th birthday! I can't believe our "BABY" is 4! Man, where does the time go?? These are pictures from her little birthday party at the park with her friends. :) She had such a great time. :) Thanks to all who made it!! :D

We love you so much Madilyn Adele and know that you continue to grow into an amazing person. We are so proud of the little girl you are and couldn't be more in love with your spirit.

Hugs from Daddy, Mommy and Cru.

Man...where does the time go!

So, I am a huge blog slacker! Geesh........

We have had quite a busy month. We officially put our house on the market. Here's hoping we will sell this summer and be in a new house by the time school starts. I will say one thing about putting your house up for sale...you keep it clean!! :)

Maddie had her last day of preschool in the beginning of May and misses her friends. :) I can't believe she will be four next week! Time is going to fast if you ask me. She has her dance recital in two weeks and is so excited to dance for everyone on "Daddy's stage." They perform at the High School. So cute. We can't wait!!

Cru is smiling all the time and really getting strong. He is almost 3 months now...again, time is flying. He is sleeping pretty good, about 7 hours a night. I know...that's "through the night" but I like 10! LOL!! Selfish...

Hope everyone is enjoying this wonderful spring weather!! Cross your fingers and say a prayer that we sell our house.

Smiles for the big sister...

Cru was all smiles for his awesome big sister the other day and I was actually able to capture one!! :D Maddie is doing such an amazing job being a big sister. :) I can not believe it has already been 7 weeks! Amazing...

Dance Class Pictures

So...on Saturday morning Maddie had her dance class pictures, while I was at the wedding shoot. Tom took her and I guess she did a great job and posed for the pictures really well.

Can you tell that she watches America's Next Top Model with me??? LOL!! Look at that perfect rag doll model pose!! I only let her watch the photo shoots on the show and just loves watching them pose. I cracked up when I saw these...Man time is flying by............

Easter 2009

We had a wonderful Easter this year. The Easter bunny visited Maddie at home and then left all sorts of eggs at Papa and Grandma Hosfords. :) Actually Uncle Jim set up the most amazing Easter egg hunt in the Hosford's front yard...it was simply adorable! The girls just loved it!! :D

Not a huge fan of the bath................

Unlike Maddie who loved the bath from the get-go, Cru does NOT dig bath time. :) He looks at me like I am torturing him the whole time, it's awful!! Makes for cute pictures though.......... ;)

Cruiser-The-Bruiser as Maddie calls him, is one month old already!! He is finally really seeing us and reacting to our voices and faces. The best........... He gets lots of kisses from his big sister, who is just the BEST at her important job. :) Time is already going too fast........

Two weeks.......already. :)

Cru had his two week check up today with the fabulous Dr. Ken Fawcett. :) Cru has surpassed his birth weight by quite a bit. He's 7lbs. 2 oz already! Dr. Fawcett said he is obviously a Hosford. :) He has also grown an inch and half! He's 20 inches. We are so blessed that he has not showed any signs of Anemia like Maddie had. His blood work has come back perfect. :) AWESOME!!

Maddie is loving the big sister roll...most of the time. ;) She has struggled a little with sharing Mom and Dad, but I'm sure it will pass. ;)

Thanks for a the love and support!! :D We are truly blessed.
