Busy, Busy, Busy

Is it vacation time yet? The last 2 weeks I was busy preparing for Madison's birthday party, out of town guests, shopping for Mother's Day, shopping for Trey's birthday and going to school programs. This week I am busy planning Trey's birthday party for Saturday (pray it will not rain), getting ready for more out of town guests and Madison has her dance recital rehearsal Friday night & the recital Saturday morning. Whew! After church Sunday I'm sure I will start packing for our vacation that starts end of next week. It can't get here soon enough!

One of Madison's favorite things to do when playing outside is to ride her Dora hot wheel from the main level garage down the driveway & end in the grass. Since it's downhill she goes pretty fast & loves it. I keep thinking I will put a stop to it before she gets hurt but I haven't yet because she has so much fun. Well, tonight I had to put a stop to it. Trey decided he would do the same thing & ride his bike down the hill. I couldn't catch him & he veered off into the front yard, flipped off of his big wheel (which went flying over him) & rolled a few times in the yard before coming to a stop. He barely cried but you could tell he was scared. He rubbed his head then wanted back on his bike. I can't imagine what would have happened if he had landed on the concrete. I can already tell that this summer will be full of bumps & bruises. He is such a boy!

Happy 2nd Birthday Trey!


Hard to believe that Trey turned 2 on Sunday! We got him a big dump truck, a Cars big wheel (he loves to ride Madison's Dora hot wheel & boy do they fight over it), puzzles, t-ball set, tool box with tools, a set of "power tools" that really work, clothes and a Bob the Builder movie. We are going to have a construction themed birthday party next Saturday. He LOVES to "fix" things like his daddy. He immediately went to work on his dump truck as soon as he opened his tool set. Too cute!


I had a great Mother's Day! Allen & I got a lot of things done around the house in the morning then we spent the afternoon outside with the kids. Saturday night Danielle kept the kids so that Allen & I could do some shopping for our upcoming trip. We went to dinner at Bonefish & it was sooo good! It was nice to actually be able to enjoy a meal in peace & quiet. BIG thanks to Danielle for keeping the kids. You rock!
