There's nothing like a friend!

I am back from the beach and I had a wonderful time with the girls. It was a much needed trip to get away, relax and think about how much I am so totally in love with my family. Sometimes it takes getting away to fully understand how wonderful life really is.
Here is a picture of Michelle, Rhiannon and I at dinner. We ate at a restaurant called Cafe Tango and it was so yummy!


Since I have last posted, Maggie has gained a new friend. Her name is Mallory Anne Jonas and she was born August 25th. You can see her at www.jonasfamilyjournal.blogspot.com She is so precious and we cannot wait to meet her!

Today, Maddox had his buddy Jack over to play. They had such a great time playing with toys, playing outside, watching Curious George and I think their favorite was eating popcorn and M&M's. Maddox is very much in the "MINE" stage, so I felt like I was constantly reminding him to SHARE!! They had the best time and Maddox can't wait to play again!

For some reason popcorn taste better right off the floor!!


This is Maddox running to get on the tricycle as soon as Jack walks away. We are learning to share :-)


Jack is too cute!

To the BEACH~~with the GIRLS!!!

I am leaving for the beach in the morning with a couple of girlfriends and I'll be back on Saturday night. Please pray for Matt as he has the kids for 3 days, with the help of grandparents, of course! Who are all wonderful and always willing to help out!! Matt got a couple of extra golf games in this week, so everyone is happy!! Also, pray for me. I am excited about going on the trip, but I am going to miss my family sooooo much!!

One more thing. My dads birthday is Friday and I will not be here to post, so...

Happy Birthday, Daddy!! I Love You!!

How Funny!

This seems so complicated to explain, but remember me telling you yesterday that I have been working on a blog? Well, it is a good thing that I didn't lie to you about it. It posted the blog date as the day that I started working on it. So to view the blog that I keep talking about, you must scroll down to August 15th. I really am trying to get the hang of this, because I am feeling very BLONDE these days! :-)

Look to the right!!!

If you have not read the blog below first, this is not going to make since, but...

YEA!!! My first picture to post and you can actually see it. I am so excited! I think I have figured it out, but you will have to wait until tomorrow to see the blog I have been working on for a week. I would feel so obsessed if I posted 3 times in one day. I cannot spend one minute longer on this crazy computer. Bye for now!!

Blogging sadness :-(

It seems that I am not a very good blogger so far. I have a blog prepared that I have tried to work on 5 times (Yes, 5) this past week. The only thing is that I cannot post the pictures to go along with the blog, and the blog means nothing without the pictures. Obviously, I'm not so good at rotating pictures. If anyone would like to clue me in on how to do this, your help would be very much appreciated!! Please be patient with me as I learn about this "blogging world" and hopefully, soon, I will be a PRO!!

Maddox decides to be a BIG BOY!!!

For those who haven't heard, Maddox finally decided to be a "Big Boy" and get a real big boy haircut!!! He sat in the pump-up, swivel chair all by himself. I am so excited and so proud!! No one (except his grandparents) has any idea what kind of battle this has been since he was 1 year old. So, after much persuasion (or bribing, which ever you choose to call it) he got so excited about it and decided to take the plunge! Here are a few pictures of the finished product.





Just one more picture that I just had to show you. While I was taking his picture for this blog he made this silly face and I thought it was so hilarious! It totally describes his personallity and how "ALL BOY" he really is! Have a Laugh, compilments of Maddox!


Since it has taken me so long to write this, it is now about time for another haircut!

My new thing...

Well... I have been inspired by my many friends who blog. I have decided to join the crowd and start a blog for our family. Hopefully, this will keep everyone "in the know" on our little family of four! Enjoy!!
