Saturday's Zoo Trip

So life with us has been pretty slow lately. Really just enjoying time that is left of summer vacation before August 18th. On Saturday Maddy and I enjoyed a trip to Niabi Zoo with Grandma and Grandpa. Wherever Maddy pointed, that's where we went. She even got away with riding the carousel two times... just because she pointed and walked back over there :) Here are some pictures from our Zoo Trip!!!!!!

I'm a Poser

As always, our excitement includes getting dressed up and going out in public for lunch or to the store. My little poser today was pretty funny before we left; blowing kisses, smiling, and basically cheese'n it up.

The funniest was right before we left, she decided she needed to take my nice Coach purse and use it as her own to go out with today.

Couldn't Miss Posting This Picture

Just like every other day Maddy and I get to spend lots and lots of quality time together. On Friday, her excitement was playing with Grandma's doll. Usually it's feeding it or giving it a bottle, but Friday was a little bit different. She started sharing her toys and wrapping the doll up in a blanket and telling us to "Shhhhh". Well here is my absolute new favorite picture of Maddy. She was soooooo darn excited to get the doll sitting on her zebra and was even more happy when she was making the zebra go, giving the doll a ride.This is the best face of all time!!!! And like most other days this summer we decided to go out to eat with some friends and catch up for lunch. We sat by the window. Big Mistake!!!! Maddy took it upon herself to wave at EVERYONE that walked by and everyone inside the restaurant we were at. She would wave, and they would wave back and smile. And then she'd give us one of these looks...... Yah kid, I don't know them either, but you waved first!!!

Maddy's Latest Accomplishment

After a long weekend, we have a finally got to relax all week at home. But in this week, Maddy has accomplished one more thing. To my amazement, as I walked out of my room Thursday Maddy was sitting in her seat showing me what she had done. She was holding up her leg and pointing to her foot, showing me that she has put on both of her own shoes. Of course, they weren't on the right feet, but that's okay. So yesterday and so far today all she's wanted to do is put on shoes!!!!!!!

Monday at Grandma's House

We can't go too long without seeing Grandma and Grandpa around this house so we ventured out to Morrison today for some fun. Of course we can't take a trip to Grandma and Papa's without having some ice cream.

Not only did we eat ice cream, but had to do some playing too.

After doing some playing inside, we did some riding on the Kabota and Maddy got her tractor ride with Papa. Maddy's got this thing with wanting to wear her sunglasses. Today after wearing them around, she decided BooBoo needed to wear them too. BooBoo didn't quite agree with what Maddy had in mind though.

4th of July

Thought we better give everyone an up to date picture of Maddy celebrating her 2nd Fourth of July in 2008.

Happy 4th of July!

A little flashback to last year....
