One more catch up Picture

A month ago I also attended a going away outing for Robbie's Commander's wife at the Melting Pot in Fort Collins. Again is was amazing, as it always is, and it was a blast to be out with the girls. Here is a picture of the gang. It sure was fun, and I have to say we shut the place down, we were definitely the last to leave.

Family Pictures

I don't know if many of you remember but well over a month ago we all went to my cousins wedding, I finally have some pictures from the wedding, well actually I've had them for a while, just haven't had the time to post them. Anyway here are a few.
This one is of my Grandma Doris and the two babies, Maddie and Bailey, they were both so good that day and slept through most of it.

This one is the whole family, Brother in law Shane, Sara, Bailey, Mom, Dad, Me, Maddie, Robbie, and Carrie. Aren't we all so cute. I know we aren't very dressed up for the occasion, but please remember, it was snowing on the 7th of June!!


And here is our little family. Again Maddie slept the whole day, but she was so cute.

I will be posting new pictures of Maddie soon, she's just been so cute lately, we can't seem to put the camera down! Hope everyone has a great weekend. Ours will be quite low-key. Last weekend before fair starts, and then my next three weeks are going to get crazy, so after August 1st don't expect any posts out of me til after the middle of August.

Too much to talk about...ugh

So I have a ton to talk about and it seems like not enough time or space to do it in! But here's a start. So since the last post we took Maddie in for her 2 month check up, talk about a trip. It took forever, but was still good. We found out that Maddie was 12 lbs 6 oz, that put her in the 90th percentile, mind you that was a week and a half ago, so I am sure she is probably closer to 13 lbs by now. Anyway she is super healthy and hardly even cried when it came to her shots, what a good girl. She is doing great at the daycare, and good news her cousin is going to start going to the same daycare in August. I am so excited to have the two together everyday, plus I have to admit makes it alot easier when one of us is in a bind! She has been opening up more and more everyday and she is finally getting really interested in toys, which is so fun. Today was Cheyenne Day (in other words the whole town shuts down and it is super crazy) so we stuck around for the air show, and then decided to get out of town. We drove down to Colorado and hit Babies R Us, and I tell you what our little girl made out. She got a bunch of toys and is just loving them. We also found the cutest dresses for the girls to wear for their upcoming baptism in September. Yesterday was also a big day for Maddie, she got to attend her first Parade. The Daycare took all the kids to one of the Cheyenne Frontier Days Parade, and it was so cute. They made all the kids little shirts, and even though they couldn't get one small enough for Maddie they made one anyway and draped it over her, they were all so cute.

On another note our family has huge news. My sister Carrie got the State IT job and is moving to Cheyenne in a little over a week. We are all so excited for her. Plus the best part is that she got an apartment in my same complex so we will get to see a lot of her, we can't wait!

Over the weekend, my sister came down with some of her friends for the Rascal Flats concert. My friend Vickie also came down, I am hoping to get some pictures from her in the near future from that. Anyway we had a great time. Robbie also was really busy as he finished up the front yard. Our yards now look awesome; they are all finished and looks very professional, he did such a great job!
Here is the picture of the frong yard. We are still working on the one spot that is dying, but hopefully it will come back to life.
And these two pictures are the finished back yard, the back of the yard are all roses, and they are just now blooming and absolutely gorgeous.

I included some pictures of Maddie, hope everyone likes them she has sure become a cutie!

This is Maddie literally 30 minutes after her shots, look how happy she is. This is also her new High Chair, I know it's a little early for that, but we just love it, it reclines so we can put her in it when we are cooking in the kitchen and at the table, so she can see us. She obviously loves it too!



Here's Madison getting some tummy time on her mat, she just loves it.
Maddie hugging her new toy, something she can definitely grab onto.
And of course the most beautiful little girl in the world, she's just so happy!

Weekend Fun

So I know it's been a while and a lot has happened since then, but the first thing I want to start with is our weekend. We had such a blast. On Saturday we played Mud Volleyball, I know sounds super messy, which it was, but it was such a blast. It was also for a good cause, it was a fundraiser for MS. Anyway attached are some pictures, as you can tell we were all super messy by the end!

Here is our team after all the action


Our first team Huddle

An action pic

You're probably wondering where Madison was while we were playing in the mud, well she got to visit her cousin. My sister Sara was kind enough to babysit the whole time, and as it turned out they had a great time.

Here are Maddie and Bailey being loving cousins

The next day I went to a Bridal Shower for one of my college roomates, and it was wonderful. I have a bunch more to catch up on, but that will have to wait til another day.

Back to Work

Well today was my first day back to work, and it was so much harder than I ever imagined. However, from the sounds of it, she did great. She ate great, slept great, and was just a doll. Robbie went back to drop off her blanket at around 8:30, and he said that the daycare had already made a schedule, so that each of the other children could feed her, because they all wanted to hold her, too cute! However, they must have just worn her out because all she's done since we got home is sleep. She was happy and smiley for about 15 minutes, when she realized that it was me holding her, and then she ate and went right back to sleep. She's either growing, or just super exhausted. But all in all a decent day. Work was work, stressful cause I was gone for 7 weeks and I am all by myself now, but oh well. Anyway, attached are some pictures of her this past weekend, my mom and sister were here and we just had a great time!

Here is Maddie all dressed up in the outfit her Daddy picked out for her, doesn't he have good taste?

And here is a cute picture of my sister Carrie with Maddie, so adorable.

We are headed home for 4th of July, we are super excited to be able to go home with her as often as we can. Hope everyone has a safe and happy 4-th!
