Happy Birthday, Madison!!

It's hard to believe our little girl is 2 years old! Everyone said time would go by so fast, I just never realized how fast!! She had a great birthday weekend with lots of family coming to visit. Friday, her Nana and Pa came in with Grandmom too! They came to spend the night with us. Joan couldn't make it to her party on Saturday so she came over Friday night to see Madison and give her her birthday gift.


She spent the rest of the evening 'mowing' the backyard.

Saturday morning Uncle Michael came over. He had a wedding in Abilene at 5:00 so he wasn't going to be able to stay for the party. He drove in early to see Madison and spend time with her. Here she is opening his gift before he left. It was so cute...the baby wouldn't come out of the bag so she turned the bag upside down and started shaking it out. She's a smart little girl.


She LOVES this baby and highchair! In fact, it was the first thing she asked for this morning when she woke up.

Aunt Kara showed up around noon! Her and Madison enjoyed some pizza before the party!






Everyone else showed up around party time. We just had family over for a small party. We had some snacks, cake and ice cream and then let the kids play in the backyard. They all had a good time. Madison loved having all of her cousins over to play. Here are a lot of pictures from the afternoon...

Opening presents

The Elmo cake
(she's been asking for it for the past 2 weeks!)

Playing and Swimming Outside

Time for cake...

After the party was over, Madison put on her jewelry and high heels. I told her to say cheese for a picture and this is what I got...

Grammy, Papa and Uncle Randy spent the night with us Saturday night. We went to eat at The Roadhouse and then came back and played some more.

This morning when she woke up she immediately wanted her baby and highchair. Since everyone was still asleep, we went outside to play for awhile. When everyone was up, we came back in and Madison decided she wanted to be the baby in the baby bed. She loves all of her new toys!

This is her "cheese" face!




After Grammy and Papa left we went shopping (per Madison's request) and had lunch! When we got home we played ALL day with all of her new toys. About 7:00 she was snacking on some cheese puffs and we looked over to see this...

she was exhausted!!

Happy Birthday sweet, sweet girl! We LOVE you so much!!!

Memorial Day

The accessories were all her doing...

We went to Celina on Memorial Day. Trent's mom is leaving for Switzerland this weekend so we wanted to go visit her before she left. Madison had so much fun playing with her cousins and visiting with her Nana and Pop Pop.


Notice she has her baby sitting in the rocking chair next to her...


Madison, Reese and Reid

Busy, busy Saturday

We had a very busy Saturday. We started off the day by going up to Liberty for the spring football game. Madison had so much fun watching her Daddy work. The whole time we were there she kept saying "Daddy workin' now". Her daddy has been gone a lot between track and spring football. When she asks where he is I always say, "Daddy's working now". So she actually got to see him work Saturday morning. After the game we had lunch at Dickey's and she got her free ice cream...which she LOVED. When we came home, we all headed out back to finish the swing set. We (along with her grandparents) got her a swing set for her birthday. (Thanks to them we were able to buy it, those things are EXPENSIVE) Trent has been working on it little by little this week but wanted to finish it on Saturday, if he could. Madison and I played while Trent worked. Madison and I came in about 4 so she could take a nap. After her nap, she was right back outside and didn't come inside until almost 9:00. She was up way past her bedtime. She LOVES her new swing set.


watching her daddy work -spring football game!


gettin some sun and watching her daddy work on the swing set :)




she woke up from her nap after about an hour. I was in the middle of cooking dinner so I set her on the chair and within seconds she was back asleep. She slept here for another 2 hours. The sun must have really worn her out. Notice, Rosco is sleeping above her! :)


Awake and full from dinner...then it was time to go back outside to play! she LOVES the slide. She even got in the swing for a little bit. She sat all by herself. I just pushed her really slow and kept reminding her to not let go! :)


The FINISHED swing set! Happy Early Birthday Madison!


Her Daddy told her she would slide faster if she would put socks on, so we had to go put socks on.


She had to color with her chalk one more time before we went inside for the night!

My sweet baby...

Silly Girl

I was ironing on Sunday and Madison was playing in her balls, entertaining herself quite well. At one point I noticed she was quiet so I looked down to see what she was doing and this is what I saw! I think I laughed for a good 5 minutes...at least!

First Sno Cone

Do you think she enjoyed her first sno cone?

Her Daddy used the water hose to clean her off before taking her to the bathtub. She was not happy!

Look how stained her hands are!! Her face was the same way. Thankfully, it did come off!

Mother's Day

I got to wake up to this sweet, smiling face on Mother's Day!

We went to Celina on Mother's Day and had lunch with Trent's family! Madison had a great time playing with her cousins! My sweet husband is taking me (and Madison) out to eat tonight since he was gone Saturday and we were too full last night.

Isn't this the sweetest hug??




the kids having a snack and waiting on lunch! Reid pulled up the bar stool so he could sit with the other kids...we did find him another smaller chair!


my sweet baby girl! she's looking at Honey and Diamond in the second picture. She LOVES those horses! I didn't get to see my two mom's but I thought about them all day. I hope you both enjoyed your mother's day and we can't wait to see you SOON!!!
