Happy 6th Birthday Madison Faith!

Today is my youngest daughter Madison's 6th birthday! Where has the time gone? I know we as mothers say it all the time but I really feel like I just had her. She has started kindergarten this year, has a loose tooth and now can use 2 whole hands to tell people how old she is. :( Well, as with the other kiddos here is a trip down memory lane of past birthdays.

My gorgeous little girl just 3 days old!

Back to School

So today is the day I've been waiting for right? Well, then why did I not want today to begin? Why have I been on the verge of tears all day? It probably has something to do with the fact that both my daughters are in full time school now. I mean I have a fourth grader and a Kindergartner. When did this happen? This morning that's when, you know the day I have been waiting all month for.

I did good though. I didn't cry at the school. I didn't cry on the walk out of the school, although I thought about it. I didn't cry once I got home and only had half my kiddos. I DID cry though once I started going through the picture to put on Facebook and to email grandparents. That was all it took. I saw my babies going into school and sitting down at those big scary desks with all those mean scary teachers and the tears started. Ok, so the desks aren't that big and their teachers are actually very nice but still.

So for your viewing pleasure and some more tears from me I'm sure, my two school aged girls!

Water Babies and Fireworks

Last weekend I went to pick up Madison and Nealon from their visit with Granny and Papa. They learned how to swim very well during their stay there. Madison can swim without swimmies now and Nealon can get all over the pool with his swimmies on. Here are a couple pictures of the kids in the pool.




Also, while in Georgia we went to watch the 4th of July fireworks in Lake Park with Maumau, Ma and Papa Cajun. The fireworks were great. Madison and Elliot loved them. Nealon on the other hand got into his car seat covered his ears with his hands and hid under his blanket and fell asleep. Surprisingly Elliot loved the fireworks. He sat in Maumau's arms and just watched all the lights in the sky. He was probably trying to figure out what Mommy put into his bottle. :)

Busy Busy Busy

Sorry I have been ignoring my huge total of like 7 followers but I have been super busy. In the last couple of weeks I have been out of town for my dad's 50th birthday party, soccer games galore and Thomas the Train this past weekend. So here is a short and sweet recap...
