Our 4th of July Weekend!

See what my Uncle Jake brought me? . . . This cool NAVY t-shirt!

My Uncle Jake is in the NAVY and we went to visit him in New Mexico this weekend.

While we were in New Mexico we had some family pics taken. Here's one of Matt and his faimly.

Here's the WHOLE gang!

Here are a few of our famliy of 3 and me and Matt. Madi was not all smiles since it happened to be her naptime, but she did well overall.

A ball game broke out the evening we got to Roswell . .

Madi had fun watching everyone play ball.

Daddy up to bat . . .

The game was interesting for a while, but Grandma & Grandpa's new puppy Boomer was way more fun to play with!

Here she is taking a shoe away from Boomer.

Good puppy!

How can you say no to this face . . . ?

Well, Grandma couldn't say no either so all the kiddos enjoyed a sucker (as long as they stayed on the rug in the kitchen, of course).

3 VERY happy kids!

Madi's grandma made her this adorable 4th of July dress that she wore to the church picnic! Not sure if you can tell, but the buttons are red stars! Too cute! We are so lucky to have such a talented Grandma!

Typical Madi pose . . .

Love this smirk . . .

Owen & Madi looking as sweet as ever!

Awwwww . . . Jake & Heather

We had a great weekend visiting family!

Grandma to the Rescue!

Grandma came down to stay with Madi while I worked for Matt two days this week. I think they had a good time together (if the snacks all over the house are any indication). Tucker joined in on the fun too!

Madi in her "spot" out back!

Our 100th Post

Wow! 100 posts already. I can't believe it's been that long. Hope everyone is enjoying the pictures as much as we are!

Everyone in our house must have been on their best behavior if the smiley face stickers were any indication. Everyone but our newest puppy Sue got a sticker. Madi had so much fun sticking them everywhere!

I don't think Noodle and Chicke even knew they had one on them.

I forgot to post Father's Day pictures last weekend. Matt got an alarm clock radio, a chipping net and our yearly coffee mug tradition with Madi's handprints and the words "Madi's Daddy" on it. Madi and I go to a local pottery place every year and have one made. I'm sure when she's 15 and I'm dragging her down there to make her handprints she'll have something to say about it! Ha!

Father's Day Kiss! The best present ever!

Matt watched Madi while I went and got my hair cut and he always take a zillion pictures of their time together. This time they decided to golf. Madi didn't want her play golf clubs . . . she wanted the real thing! I personally love the crazy hair and mismatched clothes!

Another shoe story . . . before aerobics one morning I couldn't find my socks and tennis shoes I had set out. Well, Madi found my socks first which she put on by HERSELF . . .

Then came the shoes. On the wrong feet but on her feet nonetheless. Love this grin! She cracks me up daily!

What's better than having your own boat to take to the lake whenever you want? We've decided that having your sister and her family own a boat and inviting you to the lake all the time is WAY better. No upkeep, costs, . . . . for us! Love this picture of Morgan with Madi down by the water.

Morgan, Madison & Tripp

Aunt Shelle & Tut-tut

Tucker looked so cute sitting by himself on the boat.

Madi checking out the boat for the first time. She wasn't too sure at first.

Grandma & Madison

Tucker looked so miserable in his lifevest I just had to get a picture. Poor thing!

Madi was leaning against the rail just like her Grandpa. Too cute!

Here's Madi watching the water out the back of the boat. She seemed to do better when she was standing and looking out over the water.

We wanted to be sure and get a picture of the grandparents and grandkids. I think my mom is somewhere in the picture!!!

Needless to say . . . . we all LOVE the boat!
