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!
