Sorry I have been MIA lately

We came home from Nc and had a busy week

trying to get back in the swing of things plus

celebrate the big #3 for Miss Maddie.

She turned 3 on saturday, We celebrated at

her daycare center on friday then had a little party

at home with some family & friends.

It was a beautiful day, Maddie had a ball and was

wore out. My goodness! It was a long day.

Planning on another post today from the Wine & Food Weekend.

Weekend Fun

We attended my niece's 6th birthday party in the Monsoon

on saturday. What a yucky day, thunderstorms all day, crazy wind.

Maddie had a ball, she wanted to play with the big kids.

And wasn't scared at all got right in the middle of them all and

they even included her in the games they were playing.

She greeted them Hey Kids!! Can I play ?

Maddie is so excited about her birthday party

I can't believe she's going to be #3 !!! eek

Seeing the 6 yr old girls at the party do their hair, talk about Justin Beiber, while they held their purses and tried on their high heels

I thought what in the world! this what I have to look forward to ?

Oh my! I don't know if I am ready for that. I'll take my

dinosaur lovin, plastic army men playin, little girl.

Few Randoms from the birthday weekend!

My cake turned out okay, not exactly what I had in mind. But oh well right. I think she liked it!

Store bought cake was cute too. I made up lil sand buckets for all of the kids, stuffed with

Nemo coloring pages (printed off of internet), Nemo bubbles (found at dollar tree, yeah buddy),

Nemo fruit snacks & Organic raisins. I attached lil blue fish tags to the bucket with their names printed on it.

They turned out cute. Wish I would have taken a picture to show you...

How about my daddy shaving off that wooley catapillar!! That's what I called it.

I like it., I think he looks so much younger.

He says he wants to grow it back, that it feels weird without it.

Guess it's a comfort thing.

More Party Photos

She loves looking at her cards

First tricycle

Cool Kickboard, Maddie jumped right on it. Cracked me up! She thinks it's surfboard I guess

Catch that wave...lol

New Sandbox, doesn't like to play in the sand just wants to sit on top of it.

When I popped off the table she said eew!

Awesome Train Pops & Mom Mom bought at a yard sale that morning.

Oh no! Going in for the kiss..

Totally blurry but I was in a rush to get the shot... Daddy wasn't too happy. But I thought it was cute.

Thought I'd share a few more birthday photos. All in all she had a great birthday.

But I am still recovering ha,ha We tried to cram alot in a weekend.

Tom's grandmother and his uncle came down from West Minister, (2 1/2 hr ride)

That was so nice of them to come down.

We had some good food, My Dad made his famous meatballs, My stepmom made

yummy yummy shrimp dip, I made quesadillas, Pigs in a blanket & Pasta Salad.

Weird combo I know.. ha ha

We also had lots of fishy stuff, Swedish fish, Gummy sharks, and other Gummy sealife.

And of course Nemo fruit snacks, Peppridge Farm Goldfish (served in a fish bowl)

Celebration

Maddie had a great birthday!!!

She had a busy weekend, did lots of partying, ate lots of sweets and got a ton of cool presents.

We all enjoyed spending time with family & friends.

No cake competion. Tom chickened out, so last minute I got a cake from Giant.

And guess what they had a Nemo cake. Talk about lucky.

I did make my cake, pictured in above. Turned out okay.

We crammed everything into this weekend.

Friday night we went to dinner with family to celebrate her birthday

Saturday a.m. we wenting yard saleing, then in the afternoon we had her party. Then in the evening

we had snow crab legs & jumbo shrimp at my parents house. Needless to say we were all wore out.

Sunday Maddie & Tom took me out for breakfast for Mothers Day. We then went back to my parents to see my brother off. That was emotional! Everyone hates to see them leave. Then we stopped for lunch

before heading home and when we finally got home we all crashed. Tom & I hit the couch and Maddie

down for a nap. After we recharged we went to dinner w/Tom's family to take their mom out for dinner.

and Maddie took a long nap.

I took a ton of pictures was too tired to go thru them all. Will do a big post tomorrow.

Turning Two Today

Photo pre-hair cut (lol)

Miss Madelyn Mae is 2 today!!

Time has pasted so quickly I can't believe how grown up she is!

I love her more and more each day, I love everything she is and everything she will be.

I love listening to her & watching her learn new things.

Even when she gags herself at dinner on purpose and thinks it's hilarious !

She is such a good girl!

We have a small birthday party planned for tomorrow afternoon.

Her cousin is even coming into town for her birthday!

Stay tuned next week for party photos

It's my party..

Once again please excuse the horrible (rainy day lighting) and blurriness.. eek

Oh well, I was rushing..

Anyway check out Maddie's birthday dress !!! We totally switched from a Mermaid party to a Nemo party.

The child loves Nemo or Mo as she calls it. I have always loved the pillowcase dresses. And couldn't resist this one. I love polka dots anyway but the colors are so cute together don't you think. I got her a matching fish ribbon clip for her hair..

All of the party supplies are blue and orange. With some Nemo themed stuff thrown in.

I even got glass fish bowls to pull goldfish and swedish fish in. I am also attempting to make the cake.

We'll see if that changes as it gets closes. Hard to believe my baby will be 2 in May!! whew time flies.

Birthday

Had a great birthday on friday! and a nice birthday weekend dispite the weather.

Yes we got snow again... yuck . I am about tired of snow. Bring on spring!
