New Pictures!

This morning, we went to get some new pictures of our sweet Ashley taken by wonderful Zandra Horkan! Here are a few of the beautiful pictures that she took; considering Ashley was not in the best mood!

This might be one of my favorite ones! Such a sweet baby girl!

Sweet Cousins!

No words...just priceless! Such sweet friends!

   

After they hung out, they wanted to call each other and play together all the time, so sweet!

Ashley

Here are a few updated pictures of sweet baby Ashley!

 She fell asleep last night while eating...I could not get her up to finish eating at all! She did not sleep well at school for some reason yesterday, and I guess she was too tired!

 I LOVE making her laugh and giggle! Such a fun stage she is in now. I cannot believe that she will be four months soon...the time has gone by way to quickly for me this time! She almost always gives Madison a HUGE smile in morning. Madison loves making her laugh and smile. If Ashley is in her bouncey seat, Madison will sit on the floro next to her trying to make her smile...melts my heart!

Not the best picture, but still a good one of her sweet little smile! I could stare at that smile all day! If only...maybe one day!

Double duty...

So...I tried something new the other day..a double bath! It was actually not bad at all! Madison loves it and she loves to wash her...We have a set plan now, I wash Ashley first, and then Madison gets to "wash" her. Then Madison gets washed. Ashley gets out first, as she needs the most help! Madison climbs out...yes, I said climbs out..and gets her towel on her head and wraps herself up! Then we get Ashley dressed in her pajamas, then Madison gives her a big hug and kiss good night.

Then, we start bedtime for Madison! Get her dressed and read a few books before bed. She now will tell you the names of the books the wants to reads. I love it when she wants to read the Hungry Caterpillar...I just love the way she says it...so innocent and sweet! Although, sometimes before stories, I will blow dry her hair, she LOVES it! She keeps saying "I big girl mommy" while I am drying it. It also helps with her crazy hair in the morning, it makes it more manageable!

Hope you enjoy this picture and story, I was very excited to share it with you!

Sweet Madison!

Whenever someone has a camera out, or even your phone, Madison says "cheese!" with the bigest smile on her face! This was one that I took while we were eating dinner one night. And yes, she did have food all over her chin at the end of dinner...such a crazy kid!

We went to Northpoint Mall to go to Potterybarn Kids to get her a big girl quilt..yes, I said it...a BIG girl quilt...and they have a train there that goes around the whole mall, and she loved it! My mom rode with her since I had Ashley there too! She had such a good time...she kep saying ride choo-choo train...ride choo-choo train...we will be going back I am sure!

Madison is getting to be such a big girl! She is almost potty-trained; and she is helping so much with Ashley. She will go and get something if you need it, and always wants to hold her. Such a great big sister!

Funny story...the other night, Ashley had a very wet diaper, and Madison was so concerned that I was not changing it yet, that she started to take Ashley's pajamas off and weas trying to get her diaper off. She kept saying "Mommy change Ashley's daiper...its wet or stinky"...such a concerned big sister!

Playdate!

The night of Madison's birthday party, we had a play date with sweet LMC! They got a long to good, it was awesome! Here are a few pictures that from that night!

 They loved sitting on the couch and taking drinks from their cups...such big girls!

 LMC has a play house...which we will be purchasing once we get into our new house...and the girls LOVED it! Madison kept going in the front door and climbing out the window, which was then followed by LMC doing it...such silly girls!

We are truly blessed to have such sweet friends in Keri, Brice, and LMC! We love you all!

Madison's Birthday Party!

We celebrated Madison's birthday in April, so I know I am late with this; but things have been a bit crazy around here! We decided to have her party at a park this year since all her friends are old enough now to play on playgrounds! Needless to say, it was a hit! She swung on the big girl swing for the first time, and she LOVED it! Such a big girl now!

 Here she is with her sweet friend Charlotte, aka LMC! They had a blast playing together at the park, it was so nice to see her play with all her friends; there were so many wonderful people that came to help us celebrate our 2 year old!

 Her birthday cake this year was from Publix. It was a pull-apart cupcake cake. Great idea! The theme was Minnie Mouse, incase you couldn't figure that out! I loved the cake, and Madison did too! I think that she ate about 4 cupcakes, but only the icing! That was her favorite part of them...waht a crazy kid!
