Oh, Maddie

August 2, 2012Maddie(0)
This girl of mine keeps us laughing every day! She is getting funnier all the time! Recently, she wanted to wear a life jacket around the house. This was a life jacket given to us by some neighbors because their kids grew out of it. Maddie still isn’t quite big enough for it, but she...

This is the book we read for July for book club. A friend of mine pointed out that it is only available for an e-reader. I did see online that you can buy a paperback copy used if you really wanted one. Here’s a little about the book. Stuck in a job he no longer...

The Minivan

July 25, 2012Products & Places(0)
You read that correctly. We are now the owners of a minivan. For so many years I said I would never have one. Then the idea of two kids without one just didn’t seem right. So yesterday we picked up our snazzy mom-mobile. It’s a Nissan Quest. I love the look of it! I especially...

Maddie has been such a fun, silly girl lately. She likes talking/babbling and dancing these days. Here’s one of her dancing to some music. And we were recently playing upstairs and she was cracking me up dancing, playing with a toy and her dolls. So here are a couple videos of her goofiness!

Lake Time

July 18, 2012Maddie(0)
I took Maddie to a local lake yesterday. I was a little weary that she wouldn’t like it because she doesn’t like splash pads and can be hit or miss at the pool. But she LOVED it! I am definitely going back. Here are a few pictures I snapped with my phone while we were...

17 Months

July 16, 2012Maddie(0)
Miss Maddie is growing up so quickly. She changes so much every day. We were discussing all the words she says now and realized I should make an updated list of all the things she says like I did when she was 15 Months Old. So here you have it. *Words (21): dance (dee dee), shoes...

Omaha

July 11, 2012Maddie(0)
We took a trip to Omaha recently for Chuck’s cousin’s wedding. She is so sweet and came all the way to Florida for our wedding, so we knew we wanted to make the trip to see her tie the knot! Here’s a picture of the happy couple! (Which I took from her Facebook page.) At...

Before I post some more recent pictures, I wanted to make sure I posted ones leftover from June first. So here you have it. MmmMuffins! MmmmmHummus! Such a big girl. She went to get some snacks out of the pantry and went back to eat them on the couch. Stay away from my goldfish, Mom!...

It’s Another GIRL!

July 8, 2012Dannie(0)
Friday morning, Chuck and I went in to have my 20 week ultrasound. We asked the ultrasound woman not to tell us because we wanted her to write it in an envelope to find out later. Which she very kindly did! I got a text message that Chuck’s mom had a gift for Maddie so...

Maddie LOVES Her Pillow

July 1, 2012Maddie(0)
The pillow that Chuck’s mom made for us has been a huge hit. Maddie plays on it all the time. I like to lay on it. Chuck and Maddie spend a lot of time wrestling on it. Needless to say, it has been a great addition to our living room.   Today while we were...

Another Zoo Trip With Friends

A few weeks ago, we met our friends Trisha and Chelsea at the Minnesota Zoo. The girls just love hanging out together. Maddie was showing Chelsea how to go through the bamboo door. Now you see her. Now you don’t! Can you see this goofy face Maddie makes? What a strange one! And this silly...
