Fun Pictures!

It has gotten pretty cold here the last couple of weeks. On Tuesday afternoon Madilynn had fun getting out her house-slippers, gloves, and hats!

Once she got the gloves on she started clapping.
Thursday afternoon I took lots of pictures. I thought her hair turned out really cute that day and really made her look older...I can't believe she's two!
Here she is looking at family photos.. She loves to look at them and tell us everyone's name.Here's the hair I was talking about...so cute!
On Friday night she fell asleep in the chair in the living room. It was so funny we couldn't believe it. I took a ton of pictures, because we don't ever get to see her sleeping anymore.
Here she is Saturday evening playing in her new sleeper before bedtime.
Madilynn running off some energy before bedtime! She also tries to do a front roll, which we've been working with her on over the last week.

After church on Sunday Madilynn played with her baby and read books. She has done really well playing by herself lately. She'll just go in her room and start playing - leaving lots of messes to clean up (but she helps clean up too!)

Fun Weekend!

Friday night me and Madilynn had a slumber party (Daddy was out of town). We made chocolate chip cookies and watched the movie Enchanted. Madilynn loved the movie! She also loves to help out in the kitchen these days, especially when we make cookies! She helps me pour in the ingredients and turn on the mixer.

When I got the chocolate chips out she started saying "yeah" and clapping her hands She had to try a few of them before we poured them into the batter
On Saturday morning we just hung out and Madilynn played around the house.

Then she started posing for the pictures I couldn't believe it ...
(Cell phone pics)

Here she is ready to go - we went to pick up Daddy when he got back into town!

On Sunday we went to Deal's Orchard Fall Festival and had a great time!

Here's Madilynn she's 3 ft. tall!

It was a very windy day!
They even had a little petting farm, which Madilynn had to see. Here she is pointing to the donkey telling Daddy "see"...

Madilynn got to ride in a wagon when we went out into the pumpkin patch to pick out some pumpkins to take home!

Before leaving we bought some apple cider and a 1/2 peck of Jonadel apples. Madilynn even got a small sample apple on the way out of the gift shop. She loved it and ate it the whole way home!
So, we came home on a cloudy, windy Sunday afternoon and made an apple pie with our fresh apples! It turned out great!
I was able to get a couple of pictures of Madilynn with the pumpkins and mum on our front patio.

After dinner Madilynn was sleepy and when I got out the camera to get this picture she started in on the poses again...so cute!

Madilynn's Birthday Party!

This past weekend we went home to Arkansas to celebrate Madilynn's 2nd Birthday! We had a great time. It was so good to see family and friends that we don't always get to see when we are there. Madilynn got so many new toys, books, and clothes. She has been very entertained this week!

Before I show the pictures of the party I have to do a little comparison...

Here's Madilynn at her 1st Birthday party!

Here she is playing at her 2nd Birthday party - I can't believe how much she has grown!

I thought this picture turned out really good of them...

Opening presents...

Madison and Madilynn even got to play with the farm at the park!
Thank you to everyone who made it to the party we really enjoyed getting to see everyone!

Happy Birthday Madilynn!

Today is Madilynn's 2nd Birthday! I can't believe how much she's grown and all that she is doing and saying these days. We had a great day! This morning Madilynn and I went to the library for storytime and playing. Then we took a picnic lunch to the shop where Daddy was working today and all had lunch together! She has so many new words and sentences each day I feel like I should note some of the them. Her newest words are "Happy" , "I sorry" ,"Pease"(for please - don't have a Thank you yet only a head nod), and "mine". Just had to share some pictures from today (even though her "official" party isn't until this weekend in AR).
