Madeline's Walls Get Dressed!

Yeah, after 18 months I finally bought some things to hang on Madeline's walls! And it didn't take me an additional 18 months to hang them up! I bought all of these items (except for the dresses) at Hobby Lobby for 50% off. They have some really cute stuff for girls!

Smile sign and flower.

This sign was too cute!

Here are close-ups of the dresses...I need to get some nicer hangers and get the dresses ironed...they are all three Madeline's dresses.

This is one of my favorite photos of Madeline as a small baby. I bought the frame and wire hanger at Hobby Lobby as well.

Another one of my favorite photos of Madeline taken at Bella Photography last summer. Angie takes wonderful photos. Here is her website...http://www.bellakc.com/

We went shopping a sidewalk sale recently and bought a few things from Gymboree. Here is Madeline wearing her cute new outfit I bought on clearence. I love the matching hat!

The hats never stay on long. Here she is reaching for it!

A Berry Good Time!

During my mom's recent trip to visit we kept busy going swimming, to Deanna Rose Farmstead, and to a pick-your-own blueberry patch. Here are a few pics from our outings...

Of course we had to take a trip to Dairy Queen!

Well hello!

She didn't really grasp the concept of putting her face through the hole.

Checking out the flowers.

More Fun with the Cousins

Over the 4th of July holiday we spent some time with Madeline's cousins. The above picture is all of them on daddy's side of the family. All girls except one little boy, Abram. Poor thing!

Feeling the love!

Madeline Sports Her Cute Brown Dress

Madeline received this cute brown dress (size 12 months) as a birthday gift and it's just now fitting her at 18 months old! She's such a little peanut! Anyway it's too cute on her so I have to show it off....

Strutting her stuff.

What are these things Mommy???

Is this how I do it?

Playing with the sidewalk chalk and getting all dirty. Good thing she's washable!

Fun with the Cousins

We had a visit from Madeline's cousins this past weekend. I wish I would have taken a few more pics since all 7 of them were here but I only got pics of the youngest two. Hopefully I'll get more in a few days. Anyway the baby, Abram, is two months old and Ava is 2-1/2.

Of course Madeline loved the baby. She's a little mama.

Giving Abram sweet kisses.

Poor Baby.....

We went to the pediatric eye doctor last week and poor little Maddie has to wear an eye patch 4 hours a day for the next 8 weeks. She isn't too thrilled about it but (usually) leaves it on and doesn't mess with it too much. We're trying to strengthen her left eye by patching so let's hope it works!
