Train Ride

Abby had her 2nd birthday party yesterday at Trinity Park. We had such a great time. They had cake and opened presents and then we all went to ride the train. Madison and I went with Zack, Melanie and Ethan. Trent had a track meet in Argyle so he wasn't able to come with us!


Madison and Uncle Bart


Abby got them all a special treat for coming to her party!


It was a train hat and bandana. Of course, Madison wouldn't have anything to do with it. She pulled the hat off the minute I put it on her head. I was hoping she would wear it when she saw all the other kids with theirs on but she wasn't interested. I think there was only one other little girl that wouldn't wear it.


Ethan and Reid waiting on the train...





All smiles waiting on the train to start moving!

Once the whistle blew she plopped down between Mandie and I. By the look on her face she doesn't seem so sure about this train ride! She loved it once it started going!


Halfway through the ride it stops so you can buy popcorn and drinks! I got us some popcorn and a water! Madison had the best time.


Madison with the birthday girl!

We had such a great time! I hope to take her back to ride the train and go to the zoo over Spring Break! Trent will be able to come with us too!

I'll leave you with this picture! The other day after daycare we were going to go on a walk. I told Madison we had to go get some shoes on first. So she went to her closet and picked these out. She refused to put any others on. Since we were only going out front I let her wear her boots with her shorts. We had several people stop to make comments while we were out! She definitely has a mind of her own!

I apologize for the smudge on all of the pictures. I didn't notice it was there until I looked at all of the pictures once I got home!

Surprise Package!

Madison had a surprise package from her Grammy and Papa this afternoon! Her Grammy did a little online shopping and sent her two new outfits! In the first picture I had her hold up the orange shirt so you could read what it said. After I was finished I was taking away her clothes and she grabbed the pink shirt and said "mine". She held it up to her (even though it's sideways) and wanted to have her picture taken with that one too! Thank you Grammy and Papa for the new clothes! She can wear one of the outfits tomorrow since it's going to be in the 80's.

Trent's First Track Meet

Tonight was Trent's first track meet as HEAD COACH!! It was just a practice meet, I guess. They weren't keeping scores. Madison and I went up for about 2 hours. Her newest thing is taking her stroller outside for a walk. She did not want to stop walking to go to the meet so I told her she could take her stroller with her. She pushed it all over the place. She only ran into one person! I'm exhausted and heading to bed! Only one more day of school (for the week)!




Sleepy and ready for her bath!

For Madison's Grandparents

Today was Grandparents Day at Church. I guess they made these last week to give to you today. Since none of you go to our church, I thought I'd post it here! She's lucky to have you as Grandparents!

Ice cream and presents...

Since I've been pregnant, I've been REALLY sick again. Therefore, I'm not blogging near as often as I was. Here are few random pictures from the past week...


She likes ice cream...can you tell?? She licked the ice cream lid while I made us a chocolate milk shake...after our milk shake the doorbell rang (7:30pm). Madison had another surprise from her Nana and Pa! It was a day late :) but she got to open another Valentine package...

showing off her new clothes and teddy bear!


Her favorite part was the box!

Here we are enjoying another milk shake. This is becoming an every other night tradition. It might need to end soon, before both of us blow up! We started off sharing a straw but I had to have Trent bring me another one because Madison wouldn't let me have a drink! She loves her some chocolate milk shake.


She can't take her eyes off Elmo. Yes, this is right before bed. I know, I'm a bad mom!

Melanie's Shower

Anne and I had a shower for Melanie on Valentine's Day. We were so thankful that she made it! We weren't sure if Miss Kailyn was going to wait that long. But she did, and she is still hanging in there. The shower was a lot of fun. Most of Melanie's family and good friends were able to come. Her sister even surprised her from California! I think that was the best part for her!


The three pregnant girls! Anne (16 weeks) Melanie (32 weeks) Me (10 weeks). If only I was going to look as cute as Mel. She just has a belly! I blow up all over...

Here are a few pictures of some of the guests!

Happy Valentine's Day

I don't get to see my sweet baby in the mornings, so last night I had her try on her Valentine shirt with her new bows (thanks Amy!) to make sure she looked cute! Since she was in her Valentine outfit I decided I'd try to get a few pictures of her just in case daycare wouldn't take pictures for me.


Isn't she the sweetest thing!?!




She was crawling all over the living room trying to give Jack kisses! The picture on the right is her laughing from me tickling her! I never did get a good shot of her just standing there. She wasn't into having her picture taken!

DAYCARE PARTY

I sent my camera to daycare today so that I could have some pictures from her Valentine's Party. Just so you know...her hair styles in the following pictures are not done by me. I'm not sure why they put her bow in like this. She's looks silly in most of these! Oh well....

These are the gifts she made for us! Trent's is on the left and mine is on the right!


Look at my big girl! She's passed out on her nap mat!


I'm not sure what's up with the picture on the left! She looks HUGE next to him! These are a few of her daycare friends!



If you notice she's not smiling in any of these pictures! Despite the sad look on her face I think she had a fun time! She had fun showing me all the things she made and all the goodies she got!

When we got home she had a surprise package to open...from her Grammy and Papa!


They sent her a wiener dog, a Valentine book, some JuJu hearts and an ELMO card! She loved all of her gifts. Thank you Grammy and Papa!
