Wingo at Play

Wingo is such a happy dog. He loves to run and play around, after all he's still a puppy. Here he is having the best time with his rope toy.

A New Seat

Madalyn found out that she can climb over the arm of the couch and sit on the end table.

A Great Good Morning Song

If you follow my blog, you know that I'm a huge Mandisa fan. Those of you that know me well, know that I am not a morning person at all.  I am a night owl, when allowed (meaning if I don't have to get up for school the next day), and can be fully awake at any time during the night. Once I get up out of bed, give me about 10-20 minutes before speaking to me. Haha! But I think that if I could wake up to this song every morning or have this playing during my morning routine, it would be very hard not to leave the house in such a great mood! :0)

Last Week

Madalyn has started some "new" things since last week.  She was standing on head when she got mad or you told her "no". Now she will hit herself in the head. (I'm trying really hard to break her of this one.) She will also cover her mouth with both hands and scream into her hands. We currently do not have any lamps in our living room, our 3 end tables are empty, and working on getting child proof locks on the cabinets. 

The story of our lamps;
We had 4 lamps in our living room.   I was cooking and Kevin was suppose to be watching Madalyn and the next thing I know, there goes a lamp, pulled off the end table. Thankfully and amazingly the bulb didn't break. That was about 2 months ago. About a 3 months ago, we unplugged a lamp and removed it because Madalyn kept on playing with the cord and plug.  Last week, I was talking to my mom on the phone, and Madalyn got a  hold of another lamp, I was trying to hang on to the lamp and Madalyn at the same time while still on the phone and CRASH! There goes the lamp, and the bulb busted all to pieces, and the bulb broke off in the lamp.  The final lamp was moved this weekend. Madalyn may not be able to completely put shapes into the correct hole, but she can plug and unplug a lamp with no problems.  So Kevin said, "let's just stop fighting her on it." So within another month, our living room, may be completely empty. Ha Ha! :0)

So far this week and the middle to the end of last week we are hives free.  At Madalyn's 15 month check up she got her MMR and Chicken pox shots.  8 days later she had a reaction to both. She was running a fever, had a rash, and chicken pox looking bumps on her back, chest, and stomach.  That took about a week to clear up.  She is also up to 16 teeth in her mouth and has been teething again lately, so the diapers are nasty, messy. In fact, she had her first church accident yesterday. They said she had a dirty diaper and it ended up running down her legs. Kevin said I'm glad you guys had to change it instead of me. :0)

I had taken Wingo to the vet last week for his last puppy shot and for him to get "fixed". Boy they sure have changed the way they put animals to sleep these days.  He came bouncing out of the vet's office like nothing had happened.  He is doing well.  So, that's what's been going on with us the past week.  So thankful for the rain we have been having. It has kept things cool for the chickens and it was nice with Wingo having surgery for it to be cooler on him as well.

July Party

My birthday is in July and so is Kevin's grandma, Mrs. Kitty.  Last night when we got back from the lake, we had a pizza get together for the July birthdays.

The Crew

Happy Birthday to Me!

On Friday, Madalyn woke up at 5:00 am and Kevin was kind to at 6:00 take her out of the room and and told me that I can sleep as late as I want to.  So I went back to sleep and sleep in until 10:30.  Since Madalyn was born I haven't had the chance to just stay in bed and sleep as late as I want to without being bothered. That was one of the nicest birthday presents I got.  Some of my family came down on Friday and some came down on Saturday to the lake.  It was a nice birthday weekend. 

My Birthday Cake: Chocolate Ganache from Publix: Yummy!

Kevin Skiing-He loves to ski

This was how Madalyn liked to ride in the boat, standing up.

Madalyn liked the trucks.

Madalyn loves playing in the water.

A great lake weekend of relaxing!
