Bath Time Fun

Madison got some bath crayons from Aunt Ashley for her birthday. Madison has been asking me to use them everyday, so tonight I let the kids use them. They weren't as bad as I was thinking they were going to be, they washed off the walls with just a little bit of water. Madison and Hunter loved them and they didn't want to get out of the tub. Thanks for the fun bath crayons Aunt Ashley :)

Madison's 5th Birthday- Tinkerbell party

I can't believe my little Madison is 5 years old. Her birthday is on St Patrick's Day (March 17th). Madison had a birthday week. We started with her birthday on Thursday by going out to eat her favorite restaurant Olive Garden, and later that night we took her to Trafalga. She loves to rock climb there and she is really good at it. Madison got one of her present that night it was "Tangled" Rapunzel figures, she loves those from the Disney store. Saturday was the big day her friends party was that morning and family party that night. Tinkerbell was the theme of the party, Aunt Jill made the cutest cake and cupcakes for the girls. While we waited for all the girls to get here, the girls colored Tinkerbell coloring pages. When everyone had arrived we had some of them paint there Tinkerbell fairy wands, and some of them get there glitter toes done and then switch. The girls were in heaven and loved being pampered. We then open present, Madison got so many fun things. She has the greatest friends. They all loved being up close to see what she got. We then sang to Madison and had the yummy cup cakes. We played one more game "Pin the wings on Tinkerbell" the kids loved it. Thanks Grandma Kay for making the poster board. As the girls left Madison had party favors which she put together and gave to them. Thanks to Nana and Aunt Ashley for helping at the party, I would have never survived all by myself with 10 little girls.

That night was the family party where Madison was spoiled all over again with present from everyone. We got here a Easy Bake Oven and some puzzles, Hunter got her a wooden bracelet bead set. She loved all of her gifts. Thanks! It was fun for Madison having the day/weekend all about her, she loved being the center of attention. We love you Madison!

Jazz Player CJ Miles

The Jazz player CJ Miles came to my mom's school today, because they won the Jazz read-a-thon. So I took over Madison and Hunter to meet him. After we got some pictures we went to the assembly and CJ read to the kids a cute story, "Dewey the Library Cat", he also answered question from the kids and teachers. Madison said "I think Uncle Brett is still taller!" What a cutie pie.Nana, CJ, Madison & HunterUncle Brett & CJ who are both 6'7"Uncle Colt, CJ & Ashley

Happy Valentine's Day

We had a wonderful Valentine's Day. Steve and I went out Sunday to the Market Street for dinner, they were having there crab festival it was super yummy. On Valentine's day I made the kids heart shape french toast, Madison loved it so much she didn't want to cut it up to eat it.

Later that night we took the kids with my mom and brother to Trafalga. Hunter loved the little frog ride that takes you up and drops you down. Madison loved playing Laser Tag and rock climbing. Madison also gave and made Valentine's cards for everyone and brownies, she was so proud of herself.

Christmas Day

Christmas morning started when Madison woke up and went down stairs before any of us were awake to see if Santa had came. We then here her knocking on our door to let us know Santa came and we need to go get Hunter up. Downstairs Santa had brought Madison a barbie house, a Jesse doll(toy story) hanging out of her stocking and a Elvis toy car from (Cars the movie). Santa brought Hunter Cars 25 or more and trunks all from the movie Cars, in Hunter's stocking a Woody doll was hanging out and more cars. We let them play with Santa's toys while I fix breakfast. After a yummy biscuits and gravy breakfast, we open the rest of the present from mommy and daddy and there gifts to each other. Madison got a barbie airplane that came with barbies, lots of games (Life, Operation & Bed Bugs), movies and so much more. Hunter of course got Cars probably another 30-40 more, a play tool set which he loves, and movies. Later that day we went over to my mom's for dinner and another round of opening present for the kids from everyone. Madison was super excited when she open her gift from Aunt Ashley and Uncle Colt it was a pink flower camera, she took so many pictures that night that the batteries ran out. She also got pet shop animals from Uncle Brett, a Barbie car, color wonder and a princess game for her leap frog from Nana. Hunter's first present he open was from Uncle Brett and was a Chick Hicks car, when you shake it and set it down it races across the floor, he loves it and played with it all night. Nana brought him Cars Lego which he loves Mack, Sheriff and Tow Mater. Aunt Ashley and Uncle Colt brought him Chuck the Truck set. We had a wonderful ham dinner, yummy pies for desert, and lots of good snacks all night. We played a fun money game with all the adults while the kids played with all the toys. We really had a great Christmas!!
