Busy Summer!

Well since the last time I posted for the 4th of July we have been busy little bees! We have been in full swing of birthday parties, baby showers, new babies being born, weddings and now into concert season! Things are getting a little hectic.
Joe's mom is coming up in 2 weeks to help with maddie for a week and then hopefully my mom can come visit in august too... We have 3 more weddings to attend this summer, 3 concerts (Jake Owen, SUGARLAND-my fav, and Lady Antebellum) then onto Ghost Tree and our 5 year wedding anniversary! Then off to see my sister get married in Denver. Can't wait for all the upcoming events.
Thank you to aunt sandy who has been my babysitting savior! She has been watching maddie for us. Even let us go to a wedding and go out afterwards. A much needed night on the town with my hubby.
I had to post the picture of madelyn screaming. She just poured Mazies entire bowl of freezing water off of the counter right onto her head. Yes, i did get the camera before drying her off!

4th of July @ Detroit Lake

We had a wonderful weekend at Detroit Lake with our good friends Meghan and Galen! They have a fantastic cabin that we were able to stay in... Thank again Meg!!! We love you. :)

We watched fireworks from the dock... Got lots of sun and ate/drank tons!!! Perfect holiday weekend. Maddie had a blast... so much so that she never wanted to sleep! she has made up for it last night though... slept 12 hours and took a 2 hour morning nap and is about to go down again! Thank goodness because I have lots of chores.

Summer is finally here!

Sorry to all my facebook friends for having to see the same pictures- but most of my family isn't on facebook yet... :)
Summer took a little while to actually get here this year... but I'm happy it finally made it. We will be spending lots of time at the pool and going to lots of gatherings... I love it!!! Super busy but very fun. Here are some photos of us at the pool and a friends b-day bash.
Oh and Joe had to save the little family of ducks out of the pool. The babies couldn't get out. It was very sweet.
The picture with Maddie in the tub in her pj's... she couldn't wait for me to come undress her she just plopped in! Then afterwards she decided to poop on the floor... Needless to say, Mommy wasn't totally thrilled with the experience!

Father's Day, Shiners, Walking and More!

Happy Father's Day to my wonderful Husband! And of course my dad and Joe's dad too. :) We had a very nice father's day. I was a little under the weather...(self inflicted from a bachelorette party the night before) but Joe was great. :) We had a nice breakfast out with friends and then took Harry out to Pastini in the old mill for dinner. It was fantastic- one of my favirote places in Bend.
Madelyn has her first black eye... Under mom's watch. It's not even a really fun story. She had her little A's baseball bat and I was changing her diaper and she whacked the wood letter "M" off of the shelf above her and the corner just landed perfectly under her eye. It bruised instantly. Between the mullet and black eye she looks hot!
Since Maddie's first birthday she has been taking a few steps here and there till the last few days. Now I can say she is walking. She walks about 60% of the time... she can stand up without holding on to anything and motor across the room. It's so cute! But also a little wierd that my baby is walking! I officially have a toddler.
Now the only thing that I would like is for the weather to get better so we can start using our pool membership! Come on Summer....
