Happy 4th of July

Love this one of her!

Here's her serious side (Kevin says she gets that from me :)

This was one of my favorite dresses that Madalyn had. I love the back. Here's Madalyn in the same dress and rocking chair. (Madalyn was about the same age as Alexis is wearing the dress.)

Poor Mad...she didn't have any hair and what she had was blonde so it didn't show up at all in pictures.

 We spent the afternoon and evening with Kevin's family, hanging out at pool.  

Madalyn had her first experience with sparklers.

And check out my festive Rice Krispie treats I made for the kids. I was proud how they turned out and they tasted yummy :0)

Fishing with Daddy

Tonight, Kevin took Madalyn fishing. Alexis and I tagged along for a little bit, then we returned home and they continued to fish. Madalyn caught her first fish by her self, and actually caught 4 in all and Kevin caught 7. They caught a few that they had to throw back because they were too little. I think they both had a lot of fun.

As soon as the fish was on land, Madalyn dropped the pole and ran away. I had to convince her to get near it to get her picture made.

They kept 11 of them. 

Play Day

Yesterday, Madalyn had a special treat...her cousins came to play for the day. Thankfully, the weather cleared up and it turned out to be a nice day. They had fun playing, swimming, swinging, and playing in the sandbox.

Lake Weekend

We had our first lake weekend with Alexis this weekend. We had family come down Saturday and spent the day enjoying being with them.

Madalyn got to feed some geese.

Madalyn and her cousin Emily being silly.

Alexis driving the boat...I think she had rather chew on it instead.

Happy 7 Years

Today is our 7th wedding anniversary...Happy Anniversary! I will say that it was not near this hot 7 years ago. :0) And we both wish we were getting on a plane and headed to Jamaica tomorrow for a week of some R&R, but instead we will sweat it out in Blackville along with everyone else this week. :0)

Here's to many, many more anniversaries and years together to come.

I love you!

Happy Father's Day

Happy Father's Day to my hubby, Kevin, my dad, my father-in-law, my grandpa, and all the other dads out there. Thank you for all that you do.

Happy Father's Day

My girls sure love their Daddy.

This is Kevin's first father's day as a Daddy of two. :0)
