I love my pink kitty cat!

Rice Cereal

Who would have thought that rice cereal would ever be so exciting. Man have times changed at the Mattson household. Lindsey was mostly fond of the spoon, I think she's saving her enthusiasm for solids until she can eat jerky. I can't blame her.

Tree Lighting ~ Downtown Boise

We visited downtown Boise to see the tree lighting. We missed the actual lighting of the tree due to a pitstop to get a bottle at the house, but still enjoyed the lights and a beautiful Boise evening.

Thankgiving 2011

We had many visitors for Thanksgiving weekend. Ted and Lisa from Bend, Opa and Nana from Eugene, and Grandma and Grandpa Mattson who are living in Boise for the year to take care of Lindsey. Ted smoked an excellent 23 lb. turkey on his green egg and Lisa showed off her sweet cooking skills in the kitchen, and Nana brought some fabulous pies. We have so much to be thankful for, thanks to everyone for coming to visit for the weekend!

Lindsey just hangin' out in her bedroom at 5 months.

Andria's birthday!

We met up with Andria, Kelli, Abbie, Kimber, and Cathy at Cafe de Paris for a little wine tasting on Andria's birthday. Lindsey is starting to get the hang of pulling dishes off the table and sure enjoys hangin' out with the girls.

Dinner w/ the Parkers

Kelli is in town this month and she invited us up to Bruce and Pam's for dinner with Abbie and Elsi. We are grateful for having such wonderful friends and look forward to watching the girls grow up together.

First snow, grandma and grandpa, johnny jump up!

We had our first snow in early November. Ellie and Lindsey played in the snow with their moms!













Abbie and Elsi loaned Lindsey one of her new favorite toys. Lindsey likes it a lot but Eore, Pooh, and the Lion aren't so sure since they are affectionately chewed and drooled upon most of the time.

Lindsey spends a lot of time with Grandma and Grandpa while Mom and Dad are at work. Lindsey really loves bonding with both of them, they are wonderful caretakers, she is a very lucky girl!

4 months and new tricks!

Lindsey has been busy learning new tricks. She's discovered her feet, likes to put anything within reach in her mouth, and can sit up in a Bumbo chair!

Cat and the Hat!


I've always loved my lion but now I can eat him!

Goin' for the toe grab, Tony Horton would be proud!
