Here are some picutres from Easter and one of Madison in her big girl panties. kyle and i have been working lots like usual. when i'm not at work Madison and i have been going to the park, the pool at our house (it's heated so its nice to get in) and the past couple days we've gone to the beach. she loves playing in the sand and today she finally played in the water! she going to be a beach babe! lots of love- emily

The Past Week

Here are some pictures of our week. Last weekend Madison got a new bike from Mimi and Papa. She loves to be outside and loves her new bike.

She found my closet full of shoes and is in heaven when she's in the middle of it. She loves shoes almost as much as mommy!!

Today we went to the air show at Tyndall Air Force Base. We thought the loud planes would scare her but she absolutely LOVED it!! She was waving to the planes saying "ByeBye Ai-pane" (airplane) It was nice to get outside and be in the sunshine after the bad weather we had yesterday. She even got to take a picture with some of the Jacksonville Jaguar Cheerleaders! We had a blast.

This weekend Madison's cousin, Emmet, came into town to visit with Aunt Ashley and Uncle Scotty. We had fun visiting with the fam and mommy was not so good with the picture taking. I got a couple of MiMi reading to Madison and Emmet. Tuesday was my day off from work so Madison and I did some errands in the morning and then went to the park after nap time. She is really growing up so much. She seems to change every day and is turning into quite the big girl. She says a new word every day (Thanks to her better hearing from the tubes) Every day when leaving daycare- we call it school- she says "Bye Bye cool" (which means school) it's so cute! anyway we're all doing well and having fun. Kyle and I are still working lots so we're very happy Madison likes her "cool" and loves her teacher!

One Week Snow- the next- The Beach!

It was beautiful and warm on Monday so Madison and I went do to the beach for a little while to enjoy the sun and sand. She loved the sand but wasn't so sure about the water crashing on the shore. She did dip her feet in the cold water with the help of mommy:). We can't wait until we can spend the day at the beach in the water!!!

Just more of the cute babe!

Here are a few more picutres of our cute little girl. Some of her in mommy's red high heels (she was even walking in them) and some of her with her first pig tails! so cute. xoxo

Snow II

Here are more snow pictures!

Madison's First Snow

After making a speedy recovery, we took Madison up to Birmingham to see her cousin, baby Emmet, and Uncle Scotty and Aunt Ashley. We even got to play in a couple inches of snow on Sunday!! It was lots of fun. Madison loved the snow. Check out the pictures!

i haven't updated this in a while. my camera is not with me now so i do not have any photos today but thinks to my sis- i am updating. we have been super busy lately and perhaps thats why i haven't updated. i celebrated my birthday almost 2 weeks ago. i'm now a quarter or a century old. wohoo. kyle is still working lots. and most importantly, our precious madison had surgery today to have tubes put in her ears and her adenoids removed. the surgery went well but she had a hard time waking from the anesthesia. we spent a little extra time at the hospital so she could be monitored a little longer. we are home now and she is just sleeping. we hope by this evening and tomorrow she will be back to her old self. if all goes well we are headed to birmingham tomorrow afternoon to visit ashely, scott, and emmet and get out of town for a little while. byebye for now- emily
