We took Maddie to the fireworks at Union Station on Memorial Day. We were RIGHT by the cannon! She was scared out of her mind. It was SOSOO loud. Wow, I didn't realize how bad I am doing at posting new pictures. I don't know where May went. We are doing great, Madison is growing more everyday. She really really cracks us up, she is hilarious. Her latest adorable thing is running up to me or Antaun and saying, "mommy, your my very best friend, you know that?" I love it! She also walks around the house making up songs about how I am her favorite girl. I am enjoying these days because probably one day she will think I am the biggest nerd!
Yesterday we drove by Longhorn Steakhouse and she said, "Mommy, honghorn." She then listed off all the people we ate there recently with. It was pretty cute.
She is getting very good at communicating her feelings, she told a sweet lady at church on Sunday, "no say hi to me." Talk about embarrassing! She knows what she wants, I guess that is good.
She keeps calling Isaiah her little sister, this could be interesting.
We had to outlaw watching Annie around our house. She was picking up on Ms. Hannigan a little too much! And I think it was giving her bad dreams. We are back to Dora, Barney and Yo Gabba Gabba (which really gets on my nerves)
Your prayers are appreciated as I have many things I am putting off doing but really want to complete by Sept. We have a cute Dora toddler bed that we are talking about everyday, hoping to start sleeping in it. Everytime I ask her if she wants to go on the big girl potty she says, Naa. She is not interested at all. And her pacifier is literally her favorite thing in THE WHOLE WORLD!!!!!!!! I am not stressing about any of these things almost to the point where I need to be a little more proactive!
I've been learing a lot about treasuring each and every moment and not taking anyone or anything for granted. I have definately been spending less time on the computer, playing with Maddie more, reading to her more, hugging her more, laughing with her more, dancing and being silly more and it has been wonderful! I really can say I have no regrets and that is a good feeling!
Madison telling stories.
Maddie's newest favorite thing, Potsicle's. She calls the vanilla ones, "No cinderella ones mommy, cha, cha one." 
And after!! Ta-da planted by our "special" gardener!
Just a few random ones of working on Isaiah's room. Again an amazingly good garage sale find. The crib, rocker and changing table/dresser. And I just found a table for $1.00 that I am in the process of painting! SOO fun!
A work in progress!

Maddie's latest smile!
Antaun and I used to eat here every chance we had, the BEST mexican food you will eat. 
Madison LOVED the ducks, so much so she almost swam with them once. It was a close call but we caught her before she fell in. She kept saying, "wait ducks, wait, hold you." =)
We went to the amazing pizza factory and had so much fun together.
Maddie's first time playing putt putt. The only thing I can say is, "Look out." 
Maddie's latest smile.
Doesn't she look onery??
To my surprise Madison only complained of wearing her cap one or two times. We built up how cool it was and how it would keep her curls pretty. We will see how this summer goes. 
I really think this picture could be entered in a cutest baby swimming contest!
Lainey is so silly!
Madison is so much fun! I love this age so much. We can actually communicate together. Tonight Antaun and I were tucking her in (in our bed, hmmm) but she said, "Let's talk togever." It was so cute! She is very excited about our new baby coming in September and says she is going to have a sister and said we should name her guul (girl). We find out in two weeks what we are having so we will see. Maddie loves to talk to the baby, the other day she said, "Mommy, baby hiding."
Lainey trying to see what's going on
Giving her mama some love.
