Havin' a good time with family!

Who doesn't feel pretty wearing this outfit with new tennis shoes?!


















We told Maryn to just grab on to Colin's back and hang on for 8 seconds...she's training for bull riding.








Check out our dance moves!











Mom, Dad, I have a question...why am I wearing a hood inside?

Sunriver adventures...

Work the camera my little snow bunny! Work it!











Maryn and Mom went on a sleigh ride, that's Mike in the background. Big Mike pulled six of us in his sleigh. We brought him a carrot...good deal for Mike!








A pink hat that matches your pink jacket is essential to enjoying the winter wonderland.











While everyone is playing Guitar Hero, Maryn was dancing with the help of Papa John.

Sunriver is a party!

It's happy hour at Sunriver and the girls are ready to party!











Maryn is just looking to have a nice meal in private, but people just can't leave her alone, always asking for autographs and pictures.








Nevermind that Maryn has cheerios in her right hand, she prefers to pick them up with her left hand too.










Maryn is bringing back the 'bangs' look.

Christmas time!

This is Maryn learning about wrapping paper and bows before Christmas. And, that's all she really wanted to play with on Christmas morning.
















Maryn after another bow. Notice the tree doesn't fit all way into the picture. It was touching the ceiling. Daddy likes big Christmas trees!

















Maryn and Mommy on Christmas morning!


















As you can see, both were quite excited for Christmas to finally be here.

Now, we're all fancied up for Christmas dinner at Grammy's. Well, Daddy hadn't shaved in a few days. But, Maryn has her fancy dress and snow flake tights on!

On the move...

Maryn pulled herself up to check out the latest edition of Look magazine, circa 1954.













Now, she's working on her cover pose, as if to say "Look, I want to be on the cover of Look."













A girl on the move. She took a lap around the dining table, knocking her head on something multiple times and it didn't even slow her down. Not to say she comes from hard headed parents, but...









Playing with her pal, Ripken.

Not everyone can pull off having snails on their pants. It's okay to be jealous.

Snow Arctic Blast Winter Storm 2008!

Fortunately, Dad was actually able to spend some much needed time at home during some of the snow storm. Each morning, we would look out the window to see the snow covered world.











Maryn is planning her escape! Unfortunately, she is wearing her spring time camoflage!

Maryn and FranBear wrestle. Don't let the blue eyes fool you, Maryn can handle her own.

Big Cousin (aka - Ninja Turtle) Trystan and Maryn are trying to make sure everyone knows where they are...by hitting all the noise makers on this toy at once.

Celebrity Lifestyle...

This is Maryn getting ready for a night on the town.














This is Maryn getting ready for a night on the town...and impersonating Mother Teresa.












After her preperation, she is ready for a night out...as a ballet dancer from the Ukraine.

















The paparazzi follow Maryn everywhere. When you wear a hat with bunny ears on it, it's more stylish than anything Brad and Angelina wear and her public can't get enough!

The Mom's Group...

Marisa has been attending a Mom's Group at the Salem Hospital since Maryn was about 6 weeks old. This is the nurse who lead the group, a huge help for us!

Maryn and her friend, Harrison. I guess they can date, since he has been to an OSU football game. At heart, Harrison is a Razorback though. Go Hogs!

And, this is Maryn trying to rip Harrison's hat off of his head.

This was their Holiday party. The Mom's group frequents Costco for lunch often, 1.50 hotdogs - how can you beat that? Shoppers, make room for babies and strollers!

Auntie E made it!

Finally, after battling snow storms from coast to coast, Auntie Erica finally got to meet Maryn for the first time!



As D.C. was getting hit with a storm, Chicago was not letting anyone come or go and Portland was closed, Erica could not get home for Christmas. She finally made it so we shot up to Portland to get everyone together.









Boys beware!

Another day at the stadium...

Again, this is in November, when the Beavs beat Cal on a beautiful, sunny day in Corvallis! These are taken by guest photographer Auntie Jill.

Hangin' with Grandpa in the club level. She's ready to coach, "hand it off to number 1" was her plan.












This is the Maryn's assistant coaching staff during games. They helped Maryn learn to clap her hands at such a young age. Of course, the Rodgers brothers gave her a lot to clap about!










Hooray, Auntie Jill made it to a game! And, made it in the pictures, since it was her camera doing all the work.

Notice Maryn's Jr. Fire Fighter badge. Of course Grammy LOVES when they firemen come around.







Auntie Kate is a good gameday partner too! Always looking out for the girls!













A look of focus and determination, she's ready!

The Good Life...

So, we're skipping around a bit. These pictures are from November taken by guest photographer, Auntie Jill from Phoenix!


Maryn is a gracious host to Auntie Jill. So gracious that she decided to go ahead and fall asleep at the dinner table.












Really, what could be better than good company, a full belly, and having a pink bow in your hair?

















This was the day before gameday, so best to get some rest before tailgating and cheering on the Beavers!
