A little down time

After Madelynn's party, her and Audrey went to spend the week with family. This results in a little bit of a break for Mike and I. We were pretty much bums! The girls came home on Friday and the craziness started right back up! MP got to go for her first round of golf with daddy! I will refrain from telling the story of this to save her embarrassment in years to come. On Sunday, we had meet the teacher at RBS which means something great, A SCHEDULE IS IN MY NEAR FUTURE!!!

Sweet presh got to try the johnny jump up for the first time

My dad made this awesome TGIFriday's recipe for dinner one night

I mean :)

Madelynn's 3rd Birthday

If you know me, you know I am a major planner when it comes to birthday parties. Well, this time I was a major slacker. We finally just decided to get a huge water bounce house and have hotdogs at my parents. It was an absolute blast! There were crazy kids running everywhere and I am pretty sure Madelynn felt very celebrated!

MP absolutely loved this anywhere chair from Mike's dad.

I love this girl!!

sweet friends :)

I should have taken pictures of the tables and decorations before everyone ate. I will say, since I procrastinated I spent many a late night hour making decorations.

Remember that day I skipped..........

Well, in the midst of the craziest few weeks of our summer, I decided I would make it a little crazier! The last week in July, my BIL was going to be in TX for the Harding night at the Rangers game. This gave me the greatest idea!! I suggested my sister come with him and all of us in Abilene could meet up with them and have a family night!! Everyone loved this idea, and then we realized how crazy this idea was. Mom and Molly would be returning from Africa just 2 days before and their bodies would be a different clock. My dad and Mike had to work that day and there was no way either could get off. That left me, and you know good and well I was not taking a 7 and 2 yr. old, as well as a 3 month old to the game. This is when I became a genius!! Hello, the American Girl store!! We decided mom and I would take the girls and meet Mackenzie for lunch. I am soooo glad we decided to do this because we had an amazing time!! This place is a little girls dream and I am so glad my mom and sister got to join in on the fun!!

I told the girls we were just going to run some errands with my mom. Well, Audrey asked every 15 minutes what was going on. It was hilarious!! This is when they first saw Auntie!

My mom is so wonderful!! SN: HG is wearing her Easter outfit for next year. Pretty sure I will have to come up with a different plan!

Have I ever mentioned how beautiful my sister is? She is gorgeous and such an amazing person! I am so lucky to have the greatest siblings!!

Does she look happy or what?!?!?

Just because :)
