Birthday Party! LOTS of pictures!

Don't skip through too quickly... I will be actually writing about the party between photos!

Since Madison was having a "Princess" party, she had to wear her princess stuff that she got for Easter. Here she is waiting for her royal guests to arrive:






She got so many presents, it was fabulous! For her anyway, lol. Our trash can is overflowing still with packages...


This singing Simba is something she has been asking for for months! She saw it in the little insert thing that came with the Lion King DVD that I bought almost 3 years ago, though, so we couldn't just go to the store and pick it up. Luckily we were able to find a reasonably priced used one on eBay. Gotta love eBay! She loves this guy!














She is loving all this My Little Pony stuff that she got! I can sit and listen to her make up adventures all day long with these guys... I just love that she has so much imagination!




A real live Sleeping Beauty Barbie doll! It's all I can do to make sure she keeps that pretty dress on her... she wanted to take her in the bath with her the other night. I told her no, even though I used to take Barbies in the bath with me. This one just has such pretty curls in her hair and I would hate to see them get all messed up in the bath!




The Dora carriage was a hit! So much so that she got 2 of them, lol! But we took one back to WalMart and she was able to get a baby doll with a bottle and a potty chair (Madison named her Alex) and a pony set. Not too shabby, I say!




She loved these big bags that were filled with lots of stuff. It was like an adventure getting to see what she would pull out next!








Cake! Chocolate with chocolate icing... Madison's choice! You didn't hear me complaining, though!










Okay, so Jonah was a little photo neglected at the party. I didn't take a single picture of him until everyone had left... I figured I better take one, so I grabbed the camera as he was waking up and snapped a quick pic!


Hehe, it looks like she is looking up at that photo of Jonah...




Trip to Toys R Us after the party to get her crown and balloon. She had a $3 gift card to spend for being in their birthday club. We kicked in an extra $10 so she could get something pretty decent. She got 2 little playsets; one with dinosaurs and one with safari animals.


She is loving these new jammies! She wants to wear them every night, but I am not always quick enough on the laundry. The movie doesn't come out until September... she is very anxious to see it! She loves those Barbie movies. All girly and princess-y and stuff, you know.






She gets all these things out just about every day and makes quite a mess to be cleaned up! She has a blast playing with them, though, so it is okay.






So that was Madison's big party day! It was a great day for her... I'm sure she wishes she could have a party every day!

1 month old!

Aren't they cute? Madison was straight out of the shower, hence the wet hair. And Jonah had just woken up, which is why he is still in his jammies and blanket. Too sweet...



So Jonah is a month old today! I can't believe it... time sure does fly! He had his appointment this morning and all is well. He is up to 10lbs 11 oz and 21 inches long! He was such a good boy for the doctor. Doc was very pleased with his growth... said he went from just average to the 75th percentile! Go Jonah!

Madison got a haircut!

I know, I know, I still haven't gotten to the birthday party yet! But I have some pictures from the day after her birthday that are just too good not to put up here! I will get to the party, though, I promise!

Madison & Jonah were laying together on my bed... he looks so tiny! I just love the look on Madison's face here... she loves her little brother so much!


Guess what Madison did the day after her birthday? She got her very first haircut! I guess 3 is a little late for a first haircut, but I like it long. It is still long, just a little neater looking. Here is a before photo:


Here is a during photo:


Here is Miss Diva Thing afterwards at Great Clips:


And here is her after photo:


So, as you can see, it isn't a whole lot shorter, but the ends are a lot more straight. She had lots of fun having it done!

Birthday pictures!

Daddy had the day off of work for Madison's birthday, and so we got to hang out together all day! We went shopping and bought some presents for her. Quite a feat considering she was with us! But we split up in Target so that I could go get a few things without her seeing. And she fell asleep in the car so that I was able to run into Toys R Us without her knowing. Her choice for dinner was McDonalds (big surprise) and after that, we came home and made a chocolate cake that we ate with ice cream. Yum! Madison had a couple of presents from a woman (Carol) that Curtis works with that had been sitting on the table driving her crazy, so we let her open one of those plus one present from us. She had told us that she really hoped Nala would come to her birthday, so naturally, that was the present we let her open from us! And she loves all things My Little Pony, so she loved her present from Carol! Anyway... here are the pictures:

Just posing:


She sang along with us:


The first year she has been able to blow out her own candle!


Oh boy!


Look what I got!


Wonder what this is?


It's Nala!


Awwww.....


Finally... cake!
