A quick Trip

Here is a pictorial of our quick trip to the OBX for Memorial Day weekend. It wasn't a long trip but we certainly enjoyed our time together. I took a billion pics and it has taken me a while to go through and edit them. I took the color out of some and I think they look really good. Enjoy these photos of my beautiful family!
Jacob after we first got there...being silly!
Madelyn had been swimming all day the day before at a pool party and ended up with swimmer's ear. Here she is sitting on the bed after we first got there in A LOT of pain. After some alcohol in the ear and a dose of tylenol...she was fine!

A girl's day

Madelyn loves it when she and I get to go out shopping alone. She calls it a "girl's day." We've been doing this ever so often since she was probably around 4 yrs. old. (that's when she started to really enjoy shopping) So anyway I am a little late posting, but Madelyn and I went out last Sat. morning before a birthday party that she had to go to. She needed a new bathing suit since the party was a pool party. We didn't have alot of time, but we had a good time.



Here's Madi having a biscuit on the way
Here's a picture of Madi getting ready to try on a bathing suit
She bought a scrapbooking kit. Madi LOVES to scrapbook!
She got a new dress that she LOVES!!
Me and my baby girl....I love our time together!
Here's Madi ready for the pool party. We made up this gift bucket for her friend. It had lots of candy and a gift card inside.

You might be a redneck if.....

....your kids ride around the yard on a lawn mower like its a 4wheeler and you snap pictures b/c its cute!
