Day at the Races

Every year Mel and Drew organize a day at the races for a bunch of friends. Yesterday we took Madi for her first annual experience. Turns out she's a natural... we let her point to a horse in every one of the races we bet on and every time the horse won first, second or third. We then had Addie do it and wouldn't you know it - she picked a winning horse as well. It was the craziest thing! Anyway, here are some photos of the day!

Swingers

While their moms celebrated mother's day (finally) with trips to the spa at La Costa, Madison, Addison and Calvin played at the park with their dads. The boys and their babies were quite a sight walking down the road together - they even admitted they reminded themselves of that old show "My Three Dads." Here's a photo of Madi and Addie enjoying an afternoon swing.

Uncle Aaron and Aunt Jaymie Get Married

We had so much fun in Portland for Aaron and Jaymie's wedding! It was great to have all the Wilders and Bandas together in one place and to enjoy just being together as a family. We also got to see Grandpa Wilder which means that Madi met her great-grandfather for the first time. It was love at first sight ;) Of course, being able to celebrate Jaymie and Aaron as a couple and watch them say their vows was the best! Our only regret was that we couldn't have spent more time. Ryan flew in on Thursday for Aaron's bachelor party and also made it on the river boat cruise and to the dinner the night before the wedding. Madi and I didn't get in until late Friday so we missed those fun activities but did get to go with the Wilders to see the falls right near the Oregon Washington border. It was beautiful and we were so glad we had some extra time to see it before the wedding. Here are some photos from the trip.

July 4th

We celebrated July 4th at the McCall's house with a bunch of friends and the three babies - Addie, Madi and Calvin. Cheryl took Madi in the pool for the first time ever. The two little girls also seemed to really notice each other for the first time. It was pretty cute!!

Here are some photos of Madi's first couple experiences with rice cereal. Clearly it took some getting used to but she eats it like a champ now.
