Had a busy weekend... I am SO thankful for Jimmy! He is so good !! Saturday I went to stanton for a wedding shower; he picked up a cake for me for another shower, ironed Madden's clothes for shower number 2, had the house spotless, mowed the yard, and managed to feed Madden pea's without covering him in them:) We swam this evening and listened to Madden laugh. Chicken just got off the grill, gotta go! Posted my FAVORITE Sally pic...

All play, no work

So I had planned on getting ALL of our painting done since we had a long weekend. Didn't happen... I wish i could say I would get to it this weekend, but I have 2 showers to go to and they are both out of town- darn! ha
If i dont get done painting we will never get carpet and I am WAY too messy to have carpet installed and then try to paint. Ne who- we had the nephews over to play on the water slide and swim. We had a great time!


Madden update: still saying DADADA- thats about it!
We get GGEEEE's sometimes too, but mostly dada. I put Madden on the waiting list at Midland College's daycare today- so maybe in 2 years i'll get him in! haha
I'm really just hoping my parents will get to stay in Midland, but even if that is the case i need a backup plan b/c my parents travel 24/7. We'll see how everything work out?! Oh and he is getting really good with a cup!


I'm VERY happy its summer time! It's going to be a great summer- so many friends are having babies and getting married! Madden is going to have so many inherited friends!
Oh and I am breaking Madden of his sleeping with mommy habit, seriously this time. When he is in our bed he sleeps about 10 hours, last night- not so much. He stayed in his bed till about 3:45 and his whine quickly turned into a SCREAM! Since Jimmy wakes up about 5 most mornings, I had to get him quiet. So- I am kicking Jimmy to the couch, so I can work on breaking the habit, so that (eventually) we all get better sleep- WHEW!! It's exhausting just talking about it. Check with me in a few days to make sure I am not a zombie. Thanks

Madden's 6 month session with Sally!

Austin Weekend

We left thursday for Lakeway! Stayed the first night in a cabin and friday thru sunday at Lakeway resort... We had a great time despite it raining on our lake and pool day. We did get to swim friday evening (Madd loved the waterfalls and he is kicking around so good in that water). I think dad was looking forward to fishing, maybe next time. My parents got in late friday night so really only got a full day there. Dad was selected to be on a jury for a murder trial, and it is interfering with life! haha. It's pretty intersting... he doesnt give up much information about it, so i have been following in the newspaper.
Ne who- Mimi and Papa drove to see us Sunday and we got to eat breakfast with em! Mimi loves to snap pic's on the sunday mornings that no one gets dressed to drive home. Since we didnt get to play outside, we did lots of eating!
Carlos n Charlies, iron cactus (time 2), iguana's etc...
We had a blast with Lyndi, I hope she gets to go on more vactions with us so i am not stuck with Kolton and Jimmy! They just think they are too hillarious... ok maybe they are a little funny?!


Ne who- I need to start unpacking and washing clothes.
Looking forward to relaxing at home ... We have family birthday's, and get to meet baby Matalin Robertson this week!

Noisy Baby

All I have heard out of Mr. Madden's mouth today is da da da da da... sounds way too close to Daddy. Despite my efforts to say mommy as many times as possible(EVERYDAY)- I havent heard the "ma" sound yet! DANGIT!!
Here's a pic of the boys taking a sunday nap

Mother's Day!

Today I celebrated my very first mother day! Its crazy to think how much my life has changed since Madden entered my world. But i am not going to go too far because its already been a very emotional day. I love how at Stonegate they make ya cry right before they flip the lights on... and the days i cry im sure to see at least 5 people i know!


By the way... Thank you Mom and Cindy- we owe a lot of our own happiness to you guys. You have raised us to be God fearing individuals who LOVE family and what it means.


This week we got Madden's room painted, he swam for the first time in FREEZING cold water, we went to Tabatha aka Coach Jones' couples shower and got to see some old friends, had to get ANOTHER storage for all our crap, Sally took Madden's 6 month pics, oh and the BIG ONE- got the slide fixed!

Here's the story...
My mom had ordered an inflatable water slide, and Goose ane Marley (our well bahaved dogs) got a hold of it... UGH. So, for a pretty penny we were able to get it fixed just in time for summer!
Ne who- Im off to bed.. Madden has shots tomorrow and after reading Kelli's blog I'm not so sure im looking forward to going and waiting...
