~Ice Storm 2011~

Well...the anticipated snow turned out to be more ice than snow. The girls did not care either way, they had a lot of fun digging in the ice with their garden tools!!!

Exciting News!!!

We are so excited!! We recently found out that we will be a family of 5 in early March!! The girls are so excited, especially Madi!! Madi says she wants a boy since she already has a girl!!! We are so thankful for all of our blessings...

~Madi's first BIG booboo~

It was Father's Day and we were at my grandparents farm. The girls were outside playing and running around...Jeremy, my daddy and my grandaddy were out on the porch watching the girls. Madi was running and tripped and went chin first straight into the asphalt!! The next thing I knew Jeremy was running in the house holding her and I saw blood, my heart just stopped because I knew this would not be good, but hoped for just a busted lip. Oh no, after we could finally get her calm and hands down off of her mouth, I saw her little chin gapping open and knew immediately she would need stitches. We were an hour from Children's, I knew it would be a long drive!! On the way I was explaining to her what they were going to do, and she said "but I don't want to go to the emergency room" and I told her it would be okay and we would be with her the entire time, and she said "but I am just so scared" in the most pitiful little voice...broke mommies heart!!

Once there, she had calmed down. She was such a big girl, and never cried again! She just laid there when it came time for her numbing and did the same through the stitches!! We were so proud of our big girl!! Here is the after result...sweet girl still couldn't hold back the smiles!!!

~Making Daddy's Fathers Day Present~

Madi was all about it, she loved making Daddy a hand painted canvas for his office!!

Graci was not real sure at first, didn't really care about getting her hands dirty!! She eventually caught on and had fun too!!

I am kicking myself for not getting a picture of the finished product after they were dry...next time I am at Daddy's office I need to do that!!!

~Swim Lessons~

Sweet Madi's Four Year Old Pics...

My sweet girl is getting so big, and so much fun to take pics of!! She finally has gotten out of the silly smile phase, for the most part!! We did these pics at the farm, and I just love all the yellow wild flowers!! The girls enjoyed running around the field and petting Prince...such a special time!!
