What a mess

So... Madi figured out how to use the fridge today to get ice & water.
She just pulled her little stair step over & started filling up her cup.
Now I just have to get her to stop filling the cup with water when it's full...she causes quite a mess!

St Louis

Zach and I were able to go to St. Louis over the weekend to a work function for Zach.
It was a nice mommy & daddy get away, plus Zach got to attend the Texas Ranger/St.Louis Cardinals baseball game with his company.. What could be better!

A Beach.. In Iowa?

We found a Beach right in the middle of Iowa!
Its called Viking Lake.. We went today with a girlfriend of mine and her little boy.
The kids had so much fun.. The outing was not planned so we didn't have bathing suits packed, but luckily I did find sunscreen in my diaper bag!
All I know is I felt like I was on a beach vacation!

We will be going back soon... maybe this afternoon after naptime.. is that too soon? :)

Father's Day!

Today was an awesome Fathers Day! Zach woke up to coffee & to die for blueberry muffins & decorations!
Then off to church for a great sermon.."the most important thing a dad can do is bring home Jesus".
The off to Union Pacific Family day, for burgers, face painting, train rides & train tours!
It was a fun day!

Starting the week off right

We started this week off right!
First thing Monday Madi & I hit up the Omaha zoo with some friends.. As always, madi loved the fish & goats!
Tuesday we stayed at home all day, but played extremely hard..swimming, sidewalk chalk paint & bubbles!
Oh yeah! We also made the pioneer woman Mocha brownies Monday..basically plain brownies with an awesome powder sugar frosting that had coffee in it. Yummy!

Parks, planting & painting

Well this was a busy week. It started off with a fun play date at the park for madi.
The weather here has been awesome for about 2 weeks..I haven't turned on my AC unit yet!
Zach & I finished planting all our seeds in the garden & began harvesting our radishes!
Zach & I also found out it was quite dangerous to paint our propane tanks black.. So I spent some time repainting them white.. Just glad it's all fixed!

Madi Vacation Fun

Madi had fun swimming; going to the zoo & park; playing at grandparents & friends house all while Zach & I were gone to NYC.
What a lucky girl!

Big Apple Baby!

Zach and I were so blessed to get a few days away by ourselves & go to New York.
We had fun running trails and reading books under the trees in Central Park; we gained weight eating 99 cent pizza & great food at our favorite NY dives.
It was just so needed to get the time away from the daily grind and time to bond.
Thank you everyone that took time to watch Madison while we were gone.. She was spoiled & had so much fun!
