Old Man and swimming

We went to Idaho for the weekend and Madeline got to ride her first horse at great grandma and grandpa's ranch. His name is Old Man. She was very interested in him and the other horse Danny, but mostly at a distance. We finally convinced her to ride the horse with daddy, and she was ok with it, as long as she wasn't touching him, hense the awkward position Matt's in trying to carry her and ride the horse :)

Yesterday we went to another great grandma and grandpa's - grandma "Neen" and grandpa Jerry. They have a great pool that I grew up swimming in. Madeline LOVED it. She asked to get back in 3 times!

Madeline's going to have a sister!

We found out on Friday, that come December... we are going to have another little girl!!! I'm excited for Madeline to have a sister :) Everything looked great with the baby! We are pretty sure we have a name already, but I'm going to scan the baby names book just to make sure :)

Here's her profile. You can also see some fingers by her face.
Here's a picture of her hand.

Here's her face.

Her foot.

An arm - you can see the shoulder leading to the elbow and up to the arm. It looks like she's holding her pointer finger up.
Here's another profile.

Here's her girliness :)

St. Paul Rodeo

Here we are on July 3rd at the St. Paul Rodeo! Madeline loved it until she crashed at the end :)

She love looking at horses and talking about them. She had the chance to pet and even get on this horses' back, but I think she was a little too scared! A bit more exposure and hopefully she'll warm up to them soon!

Shades to keep her cool :)
