~Circus 2011~

The girls were so excited for our annual circus trip!! We had great seats and were so close to everything!!

Both of the girls favorite parts were the acrobats...we were right underneath them. Love the girls faces looking up at them...


Don't even know what to say about this side show...very weird!!!

~Getting Baby Brother's Room Ready~

The girls were more than willing to help daddy get baby brothers room painted!! They had a small area they were responsible for and they did a great job!!

I am almost 33 weeks now. I am doing okay!! I am not sleeping at ALL!! I will stay up late to make myself as tired as possible and finally about 2am I will go to bed and fall asleep (sometimes) but I am back up a couple hours later. Very miserable sleeping right now, but it will get better soon!!! Baby boy is active as ever...and he is SO strong!! He kicks and moves a lot harder than either of his sisters did!! I can't wait to meet him, see what he looks like and decide on a name for him!!!

~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~

LOVE this sweet girl!!
and this one too!!!
Madi is such a girly girl...she does not have an aggresive bone in her body!! She is so dainty when she swims!! I love the foot pic below...this fits Madi to a "t"~~~

Her class and her best pal Will!!




Little sis loves watching...she can't wait to be out there!!

~Fun in the Sun~

Wow, it is only June and it is HOT!! We are staying busy at the pool...the girls love the water and have so much fun!! I love summertime!!!

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!!
