Mother's Day

Today was my 2nd Mother's Day and it sure was a great one...except that I was not with my mom :( I woke up to my little Miss and my wonderful husband bringing me a gourmet breakfast in bed, followed by a walk downtown to get coffee with Papa, painting pottery, and ended with a great backyard BBQ with our friends Casey, Amanda, and Elliot. I had a GREAT Mother’s Day and I am so fortunate to have such a wonderful husband and to be the mother to such an amazing little girl!

Coffee downtown with my little girl, Matt, and Papa

Saying bye to Papa after we got back from coffee...it looks like she's saying "give me a kiss right here Papa" :)

Madison painted me a plate and I helped her a little so that the brush would not go in her mouth :)

Painting with Daddy

This was supposed to be a video...I'm, not sure what happened, but Madison was saying "Yeah!!" and was so proud of herself for all the painting!

Such a silly girl!! Madison had two pacifiers in her hand, and so I said, "Oh you have two pacis", and so this is what she did with them :)

(She is in her old car seat by the way because we were in Matt's car)

A little athlete!

"What am I supposed to do with it now?!"

Me and my girl!

I love you Madison Mae!

Amanda, Elliot, Madison, and I tried to get a picture and it was such a difficult task! If 3 of us were looking, 1 of us was not, if one of us was looking, the other 3 were not! I'm making this face because Madison poked me with my sunglasses!

The kids were playing behind the grill (don't worry, Casey checked it out and there was nothing that they could get hurt on, and its was cold) and they were laughing hysterically!! There was a drawer that they were pulling in and out and they both thought that it was the best thing ever!! The 4 of us adults were sitting in the grass, and all we could here were giggles!

My beautiful bouquets...one from Matt & Madison, and the other from my in-laws

These next few pictures are from earlier in the weekend...

On Thursday (Cinco de Mayo), we went to Casey and Amanda's for margaritas and the kids had a great time playing with the wagon...this is one of their favorite things to do!

Getting into the wagon together...it was a little tight!

The other night we walked downtown with our friends James, Melissa, and Anderson for pizza. Because of the sun, we turned Madison around, and the kids liked seeing each other and giving high fives in their matching strollers

Last night after we walked home from downtown, Madison and Anderson had a fun time playing on the porch...why the porch, I have no idea, but it was pretty cute! Anderson enjoyed ringing the doorbell and Madison liked making silly faces

One of Madison's new facial expressions and phrases..."Oh my!"

A blurry picture of Anderson (sorry Melissa!) but the kids were giving each other a hug here and it was so cute! Unfortunately, all the fun ended when Anderson took a tumble and got hurt :(
