Merry Christmas!

I realize I have badly neglected this family blog over the last year, but I'll be back! Wishing you a Merry Christmas & Happy 2012!

Race for the Cure

My Mom had never participated in our local Ozark Race for the Cure, and it had been several years since I had, so we decided to go for it this Spring. I brought the kids along, figuring that Mason would like it (and he did!) It was windy & chilly but fun to participate in such a big fundraiser! April 2011








I had to explain to him who "Grimace" was! I was more excited to see that cute purple blob than he was.

Easter 2011

Who's in the mood for Easter pics in July?? I WILL get caught up on this blog...

Mason colored eggs while Madelyn looked on (can't wait until she's big enough to participate!)

My Grandma ("Gigi" to the kids) stopped by one day with these big baskets for the kids:Easter Sunday (Maddie's 1st Easter.) We got dressed up & the kids enjoyed their baskets, then we went to my parents' to visit.



My little bunnies!

Touch A Truck 2011

Each Spring, I enjoy taking Mason to our Junior League of NWA's fundraiser, Touch A Truck. He loves getting to climb on big rigs & "drive" all sorts of cars. He even doesn't mind getting in the back of a police car. (uh-oh!) This year, it was very windy and chilly, so I left Madelyn at home with her Daddy. We had a great time!














My mom (who just joined the Junior League this last year) worked a shift at the event at the bouncy houses.

Chloe's Prom

My beautiful niece, Chloe' attended her Senior Prom back in April. She was stunning in red!

Mason's Milestones

Back in April, I registered Mason for...KINDERGARTEN!!!! I filled out lots of paperwork while he had fun participating in an aptitude test. When we left, I had to snap a few shots in front of the school. I can't believe my baby boy starts elementary school this Fall!

Madelyn's Milestones ~April

That's right, folks. That title says APRIL. I am just that far behind on this blog. I plan to do a lot of skimming through events with lots of pictures & little typing. Here is what Madelyn was doing back in April, when she was 7 month old.


Getting up on her hands & knees, ready to crawl!
Takes good naps-morning & afternoon. Still sleeping great all night long, too! So blessed!
She learned how to tip over her toy baskets to reach the goods...I love this silly face!

The girl finally got to eat in her high chair! It had been in storage & I was feeding her out of her bouncer. She likes it.

Such a happy girl!
She started pulling up on Everything! We had to lower her crib mattress to the lowest setting right after this!...and she loved to peek through! ;)

I put her on the arm of the couch & she got up on her knees & started rocking! She'll be crawling very soon!
Just chillin' in her recliner...
