Maddy's party

Maddy had a great Birthday party. We planned to have it at Mammoth Spring park but it was so cold and windy! Auntie hooked us up with the elementary school gym. It was lots of fun with all of the gym toys and we had a pinata. 48 people came, good thing we did not have it at our house because that would have not worked. I made her cake this year. Maddy has been doing ballet for about a year. It was kinda hard to find ballerina themed b-day stuff. Her cake turned out adorable. The picture is kinda dark.

5 years and counting

Our 5 anniversary was on the 17th. My lovely Mother in Law came to our house and stayed with our little Princesses for 2 days so Brett and I could go to Branson for our Anniversary. It was fun but quiet. We ate at Lamberts on the way up there and on the way home. Yeah, I guess you could say we like the place :)! We went to see the Sojhi Tabochie show, done a bunch of shopping (yippie for outlet malls). We actually paid to ride on a train! Can you believe that? Brett could not believe I convinced him to do it. He feel asleep during the ride. Now I know what he does at work. I have the pictures to prove it! We went to table rock Dam and stole a anniversary rock. Seriously they have the coolest BIG rocks. I asked Brett "Do you think we can take one?" So he grabed a large rock put it under his arm at took off running. I laughed so hard. I have the pictures to prove it...Not a dull moment with Brett :)



We are on our way!

Yum, Yum, We heart Lamberts!

Night Before Maddy's Bday (April 1)

(Turn your head sideways for this picture)
I put streamers on Maddy's door and balloons in her room the night before her Birthday (while she was sleeping) In the middle of the night she demanded the streamers be removed because the blocked her light. The next morning she loved all of the balloons. She thought the neighbor boy left them for her! WHAT? He better not be EVER leaving you balloons! LOL!

Movie Night (March 27)

We had movie night and watched Madagascar 2. We had cake and them Maddy almost fell asleep! It was fun!

our bird house's (March 23)

We bought bird house's in Jonesboro. Maddy enjoyed painting them and Daddy hung them in the tree!


This one is Maddy's!














This one in Mine!




















Before...
















After...

shopping trip (March 23)

We went to Jonesboro for a shopping trip. We forgot the stroller and poor Jace had to walk all around the mall. She enjoyed it! In Children's Place Maddy asked for some sunglasses. So I purchased a pair for both of the girls thinking Jace would break them or throw 'em. That crazy girl wore them all around the mall. People were pointing and laughing at her. How many 17 month old toddler's walk around with sunglasses on? She even wore them home (and still wears them at times)

Pretty girl's in red dresses

Wyndy made the girls pillow case dresses and I just love them. I bought the material for 3 more! Yeah, I just love little girl's that match!

Lunch with a friend! (March 19)

We went to Story time and then to lunch with Brittany and her girls, Shelby, Maddie and Isabella. We went to the pizza place (Simple Simon's)











Yummy, getting some gum!

potty time and a bike ride (March 17)

I thought this was a funny picture. Jace is pretty interested in the potty so we let her sit on it. The facial expression was priceless.
















We took a walk and let Maddy ride her bike. She is getting pretty good. She rode it almost the whole time.

My baby is 4

My baby girl turned 4 a few minutes ago. I am sad and happy! I am sad that time is flying. Somebody please tell me how to slow it down. I am happy that she is healthy and such a blessing. I learn from that little girl everyday. I love seeing the world through a child's eye's. It is much brighter!



We put a bunch of balloons in her room (while she was sleeping) and made her a crepe paper door for her room. She is going to wake up to a nice Birthday surprise. I think we are going to let her open her gifts from us tomorrow even though her party is not until Sunday. Tomorrow after dance class we are going to the peanut place (Coltons). She wants them to say "attention Coltons, this little girl is having a Birthday...etc. Then they will give her a sundae. I think she will hide under the table (knowing Maddy) but she may enjoy it. I guess we will see. It was all her idea. I think she is doing it for the ice cream :)

May God Bless everyone as much as he has us!
