Our Little "Tigeress"

Yesterday Scott took Maddie to the real golf course for the first time. Santa brought her a set of real golf clubs that she had yet to use. The set has a little pink bag, visor, set of balls, tees, a wood, an iron and a putter (all with graphite shafts-I guess that is a big deal). So off we went to practing chipping! She had a blast! She did really well with the putting and hitting off of a tee, she still needs to work on chipping with her iron. Now she says that her and daddy need a golf date...so that is where they are right now...at the golf course. The handy photographer didn't get to go this time, so here are some photos from last night!

Chicks, Ponies, Cousins, Parties and Such

We have had a really busy last few weeks. We were able to celebrate Mother's Day with both of our moms this year and I got to see my grandma too! We had a great time seeing both sets of grandparents lately.

In my classroom, he hatched chicks, so naturally I had to bring Madison in to see them. She loved them and wanted to hold all of them!
We also went to down Town Tuesday Nights where my little chick just had to ride the ponies! She rode on "Sir Wen" and had a blast!

On to other news....Scott and I are now the proud Godparents to our adorable nephew Ryan. We were able to join his baptism celebration/party last weekend.

On to cousins...here a couple of photos of Madison and her cousins being goofy!

Finally just a random picture of my little chick...she looks sooooooo grown up! We curled her hair and I can't get over how old she looks!

"That" Church

That church that I pass each morning to work had another great quote today and I just had to share...



"Some minds are like concrete, all mixed up and permenantly set."



Where do they get these, even at 7:00 am it makes you stop, reflect and really think!

Reminiscing

I don't think that nesting has really set in, but I do feel like I am starting to "think" about getting things in order. I started by finishing Madison's baby book up to the present, starting the new baby's book, posted furniture to get rid of on craigslist, and organizing all 1 million photos taken since Madison was born!

In the mean time, here are a couple of photos:

**Play along if you want. Just pick on photo from each may for the last several years...I chose Madison, but pick yourself/your kids/whatever!!

26 1/2 weeks!

Can't leave baby #2 out of the blog...he/she is growing and moving like crazy!

Cousin Fun

We have been meaning to take new photos of Madison and her cousin Antonio and just have been slacking...so here are a few we got recently in their Giants' jerseys. They were supposed to be for my dad for father's day, but he was with us when we did them, so no surprises, nevertheless, we got a few good ones!
