Playdate

A few weeks ago, Madelynn had a playdate with her best friend Gracelynn. They had SO much fun. (Their dads and their moms had a lot of fun too!) We had a few "sharing" issues, but other than that they loved each other.

This is them riding to the pool together.

Trying to learn how to float with dad.

Playing with toys...we had two of this one so everything was great!

Sweet Girls!

Summer is Here Already??

Memorial Day Weekend was spent just like any other weekend except we got to go to the pool for the first time! We went to the main pool in our neighborhood which has a cute baby pool/splash park, and Madelynn had such a great time. So great in fact, that she cried and cried when it was time to leave. SO...daddy let her play at the park for a little while. But then, when we left the park she cried so she got...well you will see in the last picture. :-)

Ready to go!!

Loves to splash!

Spring!

I really wanted to take Madelynn's pictures in the beautiful bluebonnets this year, but when we went out looking for some...we were too late. SO I settled for this beautiful field of buttercups. I wish it had been a prettier day outside, but I am happy with what I got.

Mothers Day!!

Almost a year and 8 months ago, I become a mother. It is the most challenging and rewarding task I have ever been blessed with. There is nothing better. Happy Mothers Day to me. Thank you Madelynn for being a wonderful child. :-)

I LOVE Mothers Day. I think it is a wonderful day where we get to celebrate wonderful people! I personally think I have the most wonderful mother in the world. She does so much for me and my sisters, and I am so grateful. I am very blessed to have amazing grandmothers, and a wonderful mother in law and grandma in law. Happy Mothers Day to my sister who is an amazing mother to 5 amazing kids, and Happy Mothers Day to my sister in law who should be giving birth to Baby Nate any day now!!!

Happy Birthday Mema!

Today is my Mema's Birthday! I hope you had a wonderful day Mema. You are such a wonderful sweet woman, and we all love you so much! Hope to see you soon!

Marissa, Jeff, and Madelynn

Happy Easter!

We spent Easter over at Jeff's Grandma's House. We cooked out and the kids played outside. We had a great time!

A post with no Madelynn???

Date for Mommy and Daddy!!!
Jeff got us tickets to go to the Mavericks Playoff Game on Saturday night so we decided to make it a weekend! We dropped Madelynn off at Jeff's Grandma's house and rode the train to Downtown Dallas. We checked into our hotel that was within walking distance of the arena, and went and walked around downtown. We went to the game (which was AWESOME...and we won!), ate dinner, and walked back to the hotel. We were hoping to go swimming the next day but the heated pool was a dirty. So instead we spent much needed time together and walked around the museums and such. I was so tired at the end of the day, but we had such a good time.

Waiting for the game to start.

Having Fun!
