Snow play

Madison had so much fun yesterday playing in the snow! She even made a snow angel.
Today it was the coldest day we've had so far this winter! 6 degrees with a negative wind chill while I was out grocery shopping... Ugh! Madison and I did brave the cold though & went to eat lunch with daddy & go play at the children's museum, by the end of the morning she was out!
Tonight -18 degrees! Seriously!

Thankful

I saw this prayer on a daily bible devotional email I get & I loved it!

"Lord, Thank you for dirty clothes, muddy shoes, messy rooms, a dusty house, tired legs, aching knees & taxes. I thank you I have clothes, shoes, a room to make a mess in, a house to get dirty, legs that work, knees that bend, and a country in which I can pay taxes."

It makes me realize even in my troubles how truly blessed I am.
I'm blessed to have my family, a roof over our head, food on our table, our wonderful health & Gods grace.
Oh & snow!! Look at how pretty today is!

What I want to be when I grow up

Fireman
Policeman- hopefully not a criminal!
Truck driver
Paramedic
Banker

Who knows.. I do know she'll be cute at what ever she does

Crazy day

Well today was a random & crazy day.. Started off going into the city to get a few items I was unable to find at our little town grocery store. Then I proceeded to 4 different grocery stores to find mint & basil.. Seriously!! None had anything.
Then we were late for our play date & upon arrival we found out everyone else had "no showed" . As we were leaving I thought my little Madison smelled and sure enough we had a major blow out & no I didn't have any spare pants. Luckily a lady at the church said she happened to have some, however they were for a 3yr old.. So we tied them up with a ribbon & rolled them multiple times until they would work.
Then since I had about 20 minutes I ran to whole foods to grab my missing I ingredients..and success!
Then to lunch with daddy & some playing with trains.
Once home I began prepping dinner.. And I lost my train of thought and botched the whole meal.. Oh well! I've given up on today & will try for a fresh day tomorrow.

Not FUN

Okay so Zach & I got some sort of stomach bug on Sunday. So I was running around taking care of a vomiting & achy Zach. Changing baby sheets that had gotten covered in throw up & doing a bath to clean madi up as well around 1am.. Humm when can I find time to get sick!! I was as bad as both, but mommies have no time to stop & be sick. Can't wait to all fell better.

Sick Sunday

Our poor sweet girl started to not feel well last night & today she's been just very tired & weak.. Lots of sleep & laying in mommy & daddy's bed on a pretty cold & snowy Sunday.

Swimming

This week Madison was part of a gym & swim at the local YMCA here in town & loved it so much.
We also got our membership to the children's museum this week.. Man she loves that place!

Des Moines

It was a cold weekend.. So Zach & I decided to load madi up in the car & go to Des Moines on Saturday..we shopped, went to see the state Capitol building.. Then ate at Zombie Burger..
Wow so great..every city needs one! My burger had fried bacon, fried pickles @ fried cheese.. & here is a photo of zachs burger (yes.. The bun is fried cheese..wow)
We both ran this weekend to so we didn't have heart attacks!

Children's museum

Wow! We went to Omaha's children's museum today & it was awesome!
Madison had so much fun.. I think she could have spent days there playing.
We will be going back again.

Weekend

Well I couldn't help it! Zach & I got the itch to do some more work to the inside of the house this weekend.. We painted the kitchen (green) ...it had horrible wall paper prior.
We also got a cat.. Charlie 2! He's so sweet & is strictly an outdoor cat..hopefully he can help with any mice.

Starting the New Year with a Bang..

Ouch!! Poor Madison started her New Year with quite a bang...
She's actually okay.. She fell & hit the side of some furniture..running, not jumping off it like you'd think. It was quite the big gash at first but when the swelling went down its just a little cut.. No stitches needed, Whoo!
She was back to her old self in no time!
