Peyton and Vita get to work on Maddie, and Maddie is in HEAVEN!!!

What's not to love?!?!

Just a quick pictures on the deck……just because….

Jack…still as sweet as ever

Even as Jack gets older and older, he is still the sweetest thing ever.  Maddie will ask everyone in the room to play cards (her favorite thing to do right now).  Jack is always the one with the softest heart and always obliges.  I'm not saying he doesn't get frustrated with her when she messes up or when she doesn't pay attention, but he's always willing to give her a chance….always!!!

Daddy Day Care / Peyton and Mommy Get-a-way

A week after we got back from Destin (post still to come), Peyton and I headed back to Destin for a wedding.  My friend was getting married the week after we got back (the house we stayed in was exactly two blocks away from the house we stayed in the week before!).  Peyton and I rode down with Mike and Sarah, stopping in Nashville for the night.  We stayed with Tori, Mary, and Acea while we were in Nashville.  We then got up the next morning and finished the drive.  Everything was great, other than PEYTON HAVING A FEVER AND FEELING LIKE CRAP!  By our second day in Destin she had rebounded and was feeling better.
She played the the kids down there and had a great time.  I got a few pictures and updates from Dad and other kids and they seemed to be having a fun time too!!  Peyton went with us to get our hair done for the wedding and got hers done too, she loved it!  We watched Mike and Sarah tie the knot, celebrated with them that night and caught a flight Tuesday morning to come home.

The best part of the trip: a guy behind us in line at the airport asked us if we were sisters…..I said, "thank you"  ha!


This is what the star to the trip looked like….Peyton spending a lot of time on the couch :(

Once she got up and moving the next day she caught a baby lizard…..

All dolled up and ready for the wedding…….

Meanwhile, looks like they are having a fine time back at home too!!!

Peyton's Birthday!

Peyton turned NINE while we were in Destin on vacation.  We did a quick celebration at home before we left with her gifts and then we did another cake celebration in Destin with everyone else on her actual birthday.  The beach, ocean, pool, and cousins sounds like a fine way to spend your birthday!

Here are the pictures we took before we left for Florida the next day……

 And one picture of Maddie, screaming and unhappy that she doesn't have any presents to open!!

 

Maddie learns to spell her name

Maddie has known for a while that her name is spelled "M-A-D-D-I-E" and she's know for a while how do draw the letter M, but that's as far as we have gotten with her being able to write her name.  The other night we were working on it and she was LOVING it!!!  SHe did pretty darn good too!

Super pumped after she wrote her name!

Parent walker (or rider) for golf!

Last week it was Maddie and I's turn to accompany the little golfers.  We had a great group, and I've gotta say they were pretty darn good!  They play three holes.  They moved the Tee Boxes up for them and they play a scramble.  I was pretty impressed with them.  All three girls had a turn of having the best ball.  Maddie enjoyed the snack they get after they are finished.

Overanalyzing who got best ball here…it was funny!

Maddie's little friend Brigid was in her sister and mom's group behind us, so they got to chat a little along the way too :-)
