Madison's 2nd Birthday!!!

So now that I am officially 1 month past due on posting for Madison's birthday, here I am. I have some what of an excuse though. Our camera broke, and we used my mom's camera to take what little pictures that we have from her birthday, and I just now finally remembered to get the camera from her so I could upload them on our computer.

Anyways, we had a swimming party at my mom's house, and all of her cousins, friends, and church friends came. We had a great turn out! We had BBQ, swam, ate till our stomachs hurts, and had just a good ole' time.

I can't believe how fast she is growing up, we love her so much and I'm so glad she is my little princess!!!!

Madison Isn't scared anymore!!!!

The past week or two has been so exciting, Madison has finally decided that as long as she has a potty seat that fits on top of the big potty then she isn't scared of the potty anymore! Now, I'm just going to have to figure out how I'm going to get her to go on public potties, maybe I'll just bring her potty seat with me, hmmm that would be interesting??? We are so happy, that she is finally starting to potty train, this will mean no more PULL-UP'S!!!!

Plus I think it really helps her to see Grandon going potty, and she really really really likes her big girl panties, and she wants to wear them. She is super cute, and keeps me on my toes ALL the time!

Fun with Friends!!!

Once a month we have a 4th Sunday dinner with some friends from our ward! We really enjoy having that time together to bond and hang out, sadly though one of the families just moved away so we won't get to see them anymore :( but they will be greatly missed. Good luck in all your future journey's Heidi and Blair.

This past 4th Sunday dinner was at the Welch's house. Sharon's little girl Liv, has the worlds cutest dress up box, and Madison just loved it, so what else is there to do, but take pictures!

Madison is the true meaning of a girlie girl diva. We just love her and she is so our little princess!

So pretty

She's ready to go shopping

Oh, wait for got my purse, now I'm ready!

This picture isn't from our friends house, in this picture Madison got into Mommy's make-up and started to put it on, doesn't she look so pretty!!!

Washington State!!!

So a few weeks ago my Grandmother, The kids, and I took a week trip to Washington State. It was wet, cold, and raining everyday but two. It was very pretty up there, but I'd still rather stay in Texas, my bones just can't handle the cold.


We went to Washington to see my Great Grandmother and so the Kids could meet there Great Great Grandmother. It was so nice, I hadn't seen her since I was roughly 5 or 6 years old, WOW that's 20 years.


We went to Longview, Seaside, and Cannon Beach. Everything was so green, the trees and flowers just bloom and grow like crazy up there. We thought about driving up to for Forks, Washington, but it was a good 6-8 hour drive, and I'm not sure my grandmother or kids would have enjoyed that very much, just so I could say I went to where Twilight was based out of, oh well, maybe some other time.


We had a very enjoyable trip, but were very happy when we got home. Clayton didn't come with us, so the kids and I were really starting to miss him. This is the first time I've ever gone somewhere without him, needless to say he didn't like it very much.



The kids being cute, sitting nicely together, that doesn't happen often

What's better than Papa's Texas BBQ????

So every Sunday, most Sunday's we go the my parent's house after church and have dinner. It's always BBQ, and we swim, play games, hang out, and just do the whole family thing. We love it, and it's one of our favorite things to do, and we always look forward to it each week.

This past Sunday, the kids loved the BBQ, they just couldn't get enough of Papa's ribs, don't believe me, well look at the pictures, I'm pretty sure they speak for themselves!!!

Look at there faces aren't they just great, oh how do I love kids, they are such blessings!!!

Happy 25th to ME!!! :)

So Saturday was my mom and I's birthday I turned 25 and my mom turned 49. We had a huge bingo party, and all our family and friends showed up. We had so much fun!!! I love birthdays and my family and friends, thank you to everyone who helped us celebrated!!! Also a very special thank you to Sharon for making our wonderful bingo cake, which we got NO pictures of, sorry everybody for the lack of pictures!!!

The EATER BUNNY came!!!

So we had a great Easter Sunday!!! We went to church Sunday morning, then came home let the kids take a nap, and off to Oma's house we went!!!

The kids woke up Sunday morning, and Grandon was so excited that the Easter bunny had come, and it was so cute, he couldn't say Easter it came out EATER so all day that's what we called the Easter Bunny the Eater Bunny!

We had an egg hunt at my mom's house, and Madison didn't waste anytime getting her eggs, hope you guys enjoy the movie and pictures.

Movie Star!!!

I wear my sunglasses at night so I can, so I can
Forget my name while you collect my claim
And I wear my sunglasses at night so I can, so I can
See the light that's right before my eyes...

I think the 80's song says it all for the post!!!

Bean Girl

Madison LOVES beans, any way shape or form, she is a total beans and rice kind of girl. She loves them so much that she tries to drink them, she loves to wear them, and she WON'T share them, don't believe take a look for yourself!!!

Grandon's 3rd Birthday Party!!!

So we celebrated Grandon's birthday party, in Landa Park in New Braunfels, we had a train ride, cake, presents, and games. Grandon had all his cousins and all his friends from church come to help him celebrate turning three. I just can't believe how fast the past three years have flown bye.
