Madison's Graduation

Madison graduated from preschool yesterday. It was so cute what her class put together. They each got to read a book and sing a song and a few got to do a few lines. Madison was really shy but did a good job. Saying goodbye to her teacher was really hard for the both of us!! Can't believe she'll be in kindergarten soon :(

Trying to Soak up Some Fun.

These past two weeks we have been trying to enjoy the sun because we knew the upcoming weeks were going to be filled with clouds and rain. Looking back now I'm glad we tried to squeeze in as much "sun fun" as we did because this week has been wet! Mother's Day weekend we started our Garden. We have three different tomato plants and three peppers for Garrett and his salsa. We have half a garden box of Strawberries, which we plan on making lots of strawberry jam. We also planted peas, carrots, and green onions from seed. We want to do some lettuce so we can do our own salads this summer. I'm hoping we can learn how to make homemade spaghetti sauce too. YUM!
We did sneak in a small four wheeler ride and I actually rode with AJ on my new bike. It was fun, but I wish I could just relax and ride instead of shifting and thinking of how to stop before I have to.
Madison had two more tball games. She is doing so good and its fun to watch the kids having so much fun. And thankfully the weather was nice for these two games. It just makes it so much more fun. She does have two games this week, Thursday and Saturday, but I'm pretty sure the Thursday game will be canceled due to rain.
This is her last week of school. She Graduates next Tuesday, the 24th. Got her teacher a thank you gift and almost started crying while telling her how thankful we are for her. God Bless our teachers!
Not much in store for this weekend since its raining. Saturday looks nice so I'm sure we will be out in the yard all day. Can't wait for warmer weather so we can start camping :)

Tball Game

These are pictures from her first game.

Party Week!

We had a crazy week and a half around here. Starting with Madison' Easter Party at school and Easter. Didn't do much around here for it. Talked to the kids alittle about what Easter really means and did small baskets and Easter hunt. Made Madison a shirt for her birthday using freezer paper and fabric paint. Turned out really cute. I think it's gonna be my new thing! Got some great ideas for baby shower gifts :) Madison took cupcakes to school on Tuesday for her birthday. And we had a small party for her on Wednesday. Took her and a friend to Monkey Island, oh and Austin of course! They had a blast jumping around and I was impressed with how Austin was able to keep up with the big kids. Came back to the house and had cupcakes and ice cream and presents.
Madison's big weekend started out with a visit from her Grandma Terri and her first of two swims in a pool! She loves it and I really need to get here into swimming lessons so she'll get out of her brothers floaty LOL. Saturday was her first Tball game!! She did awesome, didn't hit like she can, but all in all they did so good!! GO TUMBLEWEEDS!! After the game Kevin, Michelle, and the girls came out to the house to play alittle and open their gifts. Went to Lunch at MD's and then swimming again at their hotel. Can't believe how much those girls can splash :) After that we came out to the house for the BBQ. Had great food and good company! The girls got to stay the night. They did awesome. They watched a movie and then headed to bed where Kait and Madison stayed up talking while Kenzie passed out, only for alittle bit though. The younger girls told us that Kenzie got up and read a book. At 4am Madison came into my room and said she had nowhere to sleep. The air matress had lost some air and Kenz and Kait were sleeping in the middle. That made Madison sad, but she was ok going back to sleep in her bed, after alittle crying and convincing! The girls got up around 7 and Garrett made us some very yummy apple muffins! Dad hung around for alittle after everyone else left which was nice to get to spend some alone time with him. The kids made him play ring around the rosie!! So cute and they did alittle coloring with chalk together. Very fun weekend and we loved seeing everyone. To those who couldn't come we thank you for all the gifts you sent....See you soon and pictures will come sometime this week!!
