What it takes...

It takes a real man to push their child in swing while holding and American Girl Doll!!

Summertime Fun!

We didn't venture out too many times to the pool this year with the little one but here is a picture of our last visit. Madelyn enjoyed swimming lessons this year and we went to the pool a few times in the evenings to perfect her skills. She is definitely gaining confidence and having fun. Cecilia loves to splash, she sits beside me in the zero depth and splashes her little heart out. Can't wait until next summer!

Around 7 months I took CC out for a quick photo shoot, here are a few of my favorites.  Sitting still is really not her thing lately!

Yummy pancakes

We did a lot of outdoor time this summer, swinging was one of her favorite things!

First Grade Here She Comes!

This post is a little late, actually I'm a little behind in blogging. I'll get caught up soon! Anyway, how is it possible that young girl is in first grade already?? Really, where does time go? First grade is going strong. Madelyn loves her teacher and is enjoying seeing all of her old friends from last year. Her favorite school subjects are reading and writing and she loves art and music classes as well. I love bumping into her around school during the day, it brightens my day to see her walking down the hallway with her class! I hope she continues to love learning and school as much as she does these early years!

T-ball Time

This summer Madelyn played t-ball and LOVED it. The recreation we went through they still had t-ball for her age and it worked out perfect for her. She hustled to get the ball and loved batting and fielding. It was so much fun to watch.

Swing batter

Her favorite postitions to play were pitcher and catcher

Can't wait for next year, coach pitch here we come!

Fourth of July

I'm really struggling with blogger, most of the time I cannot upload all photos I want to and now I cannot type where I want to either. So here is pictures of our Fourth of July fun. If anyone knows why blogger is acting strange let me know!

Cecilia's first fireworks!  She enjoyed them and then fell asleep!

Just a little attitude!

Sisterly love





Garden is in full swing!

I've been busy freezing and canning!
