Let's Get This Summer Started!!!

I don't know about you but we're ready to GET THIS SUMMER STARTED!!! We have lots of fun things planned for this summer so stay tuned!

This past weekend Grandma Sharon came to visit so of course we had to take a trip to Dairy Queen. Yummy!

Mads with Grandma.

Last week one day we went to a children's activity center with some friends. I snapped a few photos of Madeline with her friend Jenna.


This thing was pretty cool. I'm not sure what you would call it but it made different sounds.

Peek-a-boo...

Going down the slide.

Checking out the pine cones.

This was a cute little beach shack complete with surf board.

We loved being outside in the sand on this warm day!

I thought the dinosaur fossil was pretty cool too.

Playdate at the Farmstead

Earlier this week we had a playdate at our local children's farm. The weather was just beautiful - 80 degrees at 10:00 in the morning. Lovely! Anyway it was great for Mads to get together with her little girlfriends. They have so much fun together.

The girls checking out the cows.

More Cowbell!!!

Posing as a pretty pretty flower...too bad she wouldn't look at the camera!

I love these little alphabet stepping stones...

Madeline loves walking on them.

Jenna and Madeline.

Madeline with her friend Charlotte. She's such a cutie!

Taking time to smell the flowers.

We just love going to the farmstead...:)

Happy Mother's Day 2011

Happy Mother's Day to all of you mommies out there! We've had a nice weekend. We met up with Grandma Sharon on Saturday for lunch and bought some pretty flowers then went to church and lunch with Grandma Mary Ann on Sunday. The photo above is outside Outback Steakhouse on Mother's Day.

Loved these flowers. Wish I could have bought them all!


Madeline looked high and low looking for the perfect flowers...



Checked these out too...


Maybe these......nooo...

Here we go! Some pretty pink petunias for Mama!!!

We'll take these! And Grandma got some too!

Of course we had to do a little splashing in the water before we left too...Happy Mother's Day!
