7 years!

Dan and I celebrated our 7th anniversary a week early. We dropped the kids off at my mom's and headed up to Midway to enjoy a little alone time. We had a couples massage, went horseback riding, and had dinner at Ruth's Chris. After dinner we shopped the outlets then spent the rest of the night enjoying our nice private room.The next day we golfed at Soldier Hollow and ended our time back at the outlets making sure we weren't empty handed when we picked up the kids. We got them new sandals from the Croc store. 
Dan and I have had our ups and downs, but we made it to 7 years! I'm lucky to have such a good husband and look forward to many more years with him. 


Bathtub!

We finally have a bathtub! Dan tiled the floor in the kids bathroom and put in a new toilet! So our kids can now enjoy a nice bath instead of showering all the time. They love it, especially Dylan. He didn't get the bathtub experience the other two got when they were little, but now he's making up for it! It's a little crowded but they don't care one bit. I love those smiles.

Madison is 4!










Madison is so beautiful, sweet, happy, sassy, thoughtful, observant, loving, little girl. I just love her so much. She is my little buddy and I am so lucky to be her mama. On her birthday we sold our car, went swimming, had dinner at a pizza place, and then opened presents and had cake at our house. I made a Tinkerbell cake with an Ariel candle(as per her request) and she got her first barbie doll. She is so girly it's crazy. Madison is very smart. She knows all of her letter sounds and is starting to read 3 letter words. She can count to 100 and can sing a ton of songs. She can actually carry a tune now and then as well! She loves to play with friends and is very good at pretend play. She plays soccer and loves riding her bike and watching movies. She is very mothering to her baby brother and loves to help everyone. Happy birthday to my little dolly.

Happy Easter!






This year we had a fun Easter! We got a bunny a few days before and Madison named him Grumpy. He's a good little bunny, but is currently in our neighbor's backyard under their deck. Hopefully we'll catch him soon! The Easter Bunny hid the baskets and eggs in our backyard and the kids had a ball finding all the stuff. The bunny waited till we went to church to hide all of the stuff. They got sunglasses, bubbles, sidewalk chalk and of course a little candy, but not too much:) Grandma made Madison's dress and bought the boys their cute bow ties. It was beautiful weather and we just had a lovely day.
