Madison was sooooo excited about going to kindergarten. She had a great day! I went to the school at her lunch time to help her class with going through the lunch line. Those little kids & their lunch trays were too cute. Madison even drank milk (chocolate)! She has had maybe 2 cups of milk since coming off her bottle when she turned 1. She is in the same class as the girl that lives across the street, who rides the bus home in the afternoons. Madison came home from school today BEGGING to ride the bus. I decided to let her ride tomorrow. What am I thinking! She's my baby girl! She can't ride with all of those kids!!! I have to leave my house at 2:00, get in carpool line around 2:15 (or it will be soooo backed up), wait for her to get out at 2:40 then drive home. I got home at 3:13 today & the bus came 10 minutes later. So, if she rides the bus it will be a lot less to deal with but I hope it's not too much for her. She has been asking to ride the bus since she was 18 months old. Just pray she will be ok. The bus driver is very sweet & said she would look out for her & Casey. Bottom line: I am not ready to let her grow up! Sniff, sniff!

July 4th
Allen throwing Trey in...he loved it!
Allen put ribs on the grill to slow cook while we were swimming & boy were they good! After swimming we stopped by the house for a quick bite to eat before going to see the fireworks. Marsha's mom joined us & we had ribs, fresh corn from the garden, baked beans, mac & cheese (for the kids), brownies and homemade ice cream.
On our way to see the fireworks!
After eating we went to Marsha's dad's house in Montevallo to watch the American Village fireworks. (His property backs up to the American Village property.) He put together a hay ride for us to ride out to the field where we could see the fireworks & the kids loved it. The kids also enjoyed seeing his horses, cows & donkeys.
Madison enjoyed petting the horses
Trey, not so sure about the horses
So curious
After a long day & no naps the kids passed out as soon as we got home. We had to wake them up at 10:30 Sunday morning! They were absolutley exhausted.Monday, June 29, 2009

Our weekend
Working on the base
Base done, now for the top

Sunday night we went tailgating at the church & then watched fireworks. The children's department's theme was a luau.
I will post more pics to the kids' website later tonight.
