our two girls

Vacation in PA with Nana & Pappy...

2009-06-30T20:53:00.009-04:00

We spent the last week in Hanover PA, with Jed's mom & step dad and we had the best time. We all took the girls to Dutch Wonderland in Lancaster and Madisyn had the best time ever, She rode everything she could except the big slide....Her and Daddy both chickened out! We hated to come home but I guess after a week of being on Vacation you have to come back to reality...

Here are the pics from our trip....ENJOY

Today I have thought a lot about Madisyn's birth mom and how she must of felt today. But in my heart I know that she knows how much Madisyn is loved and cared for. She turned 3 today and tomorrow we will have her birthday celebration, SO stay tuned for Birthday Pics.....

We love you to the moon and back Madisyn and remember you can do whatever you wanna do!

Living Life & Having Fun....

2009-05-30T11:41:00.006-04:00

We are just enjoying & living life around here in Florida these days. So sorry for the delay in posting, I was totally addicted to facebook and now I hardly ever get on there I'm spending the time with my kids because God knows they grow up to fast.

Madisyn: Is talking like crazy, Daddy is still her biggest hero....Mommy is okay when she wants something because she knows I move the quickest, Example> Daddy I want a drink, 10 mins later she has a drink. Mommy I want a drink, 2 secs later she has a drink. So I'm okay in that aspect. She is almost 3 and I can't believe it she is getting the 3 year old independance. Her favorite food is still Pizza, she wants these everyday. Madisyn still isn't fond of the camera, She is too busy for pics, SO that is why most pics here today are of Genesis...She Still goes to bed at 9:30 and sleeps until around 8:30am. She is a wonderful big sister, She loves her baby and can't get enough of her. She gives about 25 kisses to the baby a day and has to always know w here she is. A wonderful BIG sister.

Genesis: Is an awesome baby, She rarely cries...I think the only time we hear her cry is if she is sleeping and a loud noise scares her, or I'm not getting her bottle ready fast enough. she is the best baby. She goes to bed around 10pm and sleeps until 5am, drinks around 3-4 ounces and is back asleep until around 8am. When she wakes up either time she doesn't cry, she talks and that is how we know she is awake. Today she woke up at 8 and laid in her crib talking until almost 9. She is rolling over from tummy to back, and has almost got the back to tummy. She already pushes herself around the floor...Blankets are no good with her because she will be off of it in minutes. She eats babyfood at night, and loves Butternut squash/Bananas mixed together.

This pic is for Gia, Holly G's baby girl....(middle Finger Up)

She loves it outside...And I love her

I cannot get enough of that smile, She is so beautiful inside & out...

Beautiful Baby Girl....I'm amazed at what she already does for 3 1/2 months old!

Hey Mommy, How about this smile....Is this one good?

Another one, I love the wide mouth smiles....She is such a Happy baby

There's my beautiful Guatemalan Angel....She is growing up and I love her so much!

The all famous CHEESE pics, I'm a little tired of those....But hey it's a pic anyway!

Don't pay attention to our floors, We just redid them all with Laminate so pics to follow.

I love being able to get a pic of the Great Grandkids with my grandmother. Something I will cherish for a lifetime...

My Nephew Jonathan and Genesis holding hands. These 2 are 10 days apart!

Happy Mother's Day 2009

2009-05-11T19:21:00.004-04:00

The reason I celebrate Mother's Day....

I love my children so much

Puppies,Hair Cut, Baby Got Bling and Swimming Fun...

2009-05-05T20:49:00.003-04:00

So we have been busy around here, With both kids, Puppies, and the kids I babysit my spare time is scarce....But that is okay I wouldn't have it any other way!

Here are the puppies at 1 week old. They are already getting big, So cute!

Madisyn has the cutest ringlet curls, but it was so stragely so I cut it for her, Now it will grow in full and curly, and no more Straggles.... We think it is cute! Hard to cut a toddlers hair because they constantly want to look to see what you cut off.

The Back View

The Front, She likes it she says it don't take as long to fix it now...

We got Genesis's ears pierced last Friday, She is so cute well cuter if that is possible

Her Birthstone, Feb

It has been like 85-90 degree's here so when Jed is home we take advantage of the pool, Both girls love it....I mean Genesis will be swimming at 5 months old.

Daddy & Madisyn waiting for Mommy to get in...

My little Water Bug for sure...Madisyn would have never did this at her age.

Genesis and her daddy, I just thought Madisyn favored Jed...Genesis actually looks just like him!

He really wanted a boy, But he sure does love his girls...

Our Two Girls....

2009-04-30T20:31:00.005-04:00

First things first, We got woke up at 3:15 Tuesday morning to a moaning dog, Chloe was in labor!
She had 5 pups, 1 we didn't know about I guess we didn't hear her, and we lost one because he was just to small to survive. I tried feeding it with a bottle and keeping it warm, but it died anyway! So it has been one long week, and I am tired but hey Welcome to Life

Here are the little guys, Yes ALL 5 were males

The beautiful Longaberger basket Jed's Aunt Sent Madisyn, I love it.

Beautiful Thanks Aunt TiTi.....

She was OUT the other night in the bath, Nothing was waking her

This here is 70's girl Madisyn Brooke, Do you know her? She is one cool chick

Madisyn loves Genesis so much, She is one awesome BIG sister

Look at that Smile

Beautiful baby girl

Otis wanted to swim too, Chloe couldn't get in since she is due in like 13 days!

Who knew your heart could love so much, We love our girls endlessly!!!

Easter Sunday....In a Nut Shell

2009-04-13T09:50:00.005-04:00

I hope everyone had a wonderful Easter like my family did. The day started Saturday night when the Easter Bunny left the 2 baskets for the girls, the look on Madisyn's face when she saw them on Sunday morning was priceless! Daddy thought it would be fun to let Madisyn help with the eggs this year, So they proceeded into the kitchen to do the eggs, The only thing I remember is the PURPLE hands Madisyn came in to show me....OMG I thought we would never get it off, Thank god for her pool because that is what she did next was ride her horse and swim in her pool. Later in the Afternoon we went over to my sisters where my whole family met and we had a Easter Egg hunt and a very nice dinner. We had a wonderful Easter 2009 as a family of 4 .......

The Easter Bunny came...2009

Madisyn's basket from Grandparents on the Reaver side so we just added our gifts to it!

Madisyn getting up to see what the Bunny brought

She was so Happy

We LOVE this little girl

My husband took over the camera the other night and this is what I found when I uploaded. They would have been great pictures but his eyes are half closed...Bummer...Angel Baby Madisyn look cute though, But then again when don't my baby girl look cute? We are enjoying every minute of being a family of 4 under one roof. Austin met his new baby sister on Friday and his reaction was the same as other family members...."Why is she so small"? So cute...We are just enjoying and I keep pinching myself thinking it is all just a dream, This is an awesome feeling!

Jed and Madisyn....Silly People

And again, This one would have been perfect if his eyes didn't close...Dang it!

And Madisyn getting excited at Jed coming to get her...AKA Dinosaur Mode...

Now for the feature presentation....Genesis is such a good baby, She smiles all the time, Wakes up one time a night and has even slept through the night. She has an obsession with Pooh and can carry on some mean conversation with him. Her big sister Madisyn loves having her around and is constantly asking where she is.."if she is still asleep when madisyn gets up".... We are just totally in love with this little person, Whom we get the pleasure of her calling us Mom & Dad.....

Beautiful Baby...To see these pics you would think she sucks a paci all the time, But we can hardly keep it in her mouth! LOL

Here she is having her conversation with Tigger & Pooh

Beautiful Baby Girl....We love her to Pieces

Another shot of our Baby Girl

That's enough Paparazzi.....I'm done with the pics....Totally DONE...lol

A New Edition for Real this time....
