Little Buck-A-Roo

Is it really the first of July? Where does the time go? Madison is always keeping me running. Just yesterday Nate found her playing in the toilet with his toothbrush. Such a little busy body and that is for sure. Madison has only said mommy a couple of times and nothing for the past 6 months. It's Daddy this and Daddy that, but no mommy. It's going to be a celebration when I hear those sweet words out of her mouth. MOMMY! Her vocabulary has just taken off. Just this week she started saying these words...Uh Oh, Quack, Shoes, Fish, Good
I've started getting some of my education hours so that I can keep my teaching certification. I left Madison with my sister Natalie on Friday and went to class. Madison had a busy day with a bike ride, playing at the park, and swimming. Cousin Sophie idealizes Maddy. I love watching them interact with each other. It made me miss teaching for 6 whole hours, but when I went to go pick Madison up I suddenly realized that being with her was absolutely priceless.

The Laird Bunch came into town this past weekend for a good ole' time. Madison is the one and only grandchild on that side and so she gets just about whatever she wants. The whole family fights over her. We splashed it up at the Legacy Center and cheered em' on at the rodeo.

Love that you went to a rodeo...I keep wanting to go to one here in Vegas but it's so hot to sit through!!! Maddy's hat is so cute!

Glad you had fun on your Vegas trip. I know what you mean about the Bellagio Pool. A good one is Mandalay Bay...they have a lazy river!!!

Fun times! I love Maddy's outfit at the rodeo. To answer your question about the flower girl dress, it was bought at David's Bridal. They are just over $100.00. They carry the standard sizes in stock, so you shouldn't have a problem getting one. Though I believe the smallest size is a 2T. The sash is interchangeable and they come in several different colors. The standard one is a thin white ribbon. The larger colored sashes are $35.00. They are the cutest dresses! Maddy would be a little princess!

Your toothbrush in the toilet made me smile, because just the other day I had to throw out a brand new toothbrush that belonged to one of the boys...Lyndie was cleaning the inside of the toilet with it! YUCK! We always have to keep all the bathroom doors closed, because she is OBSESSED with the toilet and the paper! It's SO gross!~

Hi lacey Im so jealous of those pictures of the girls. Im glad you had fun. I know what you mean about meting wonderful friendly (not) people in Vegas. I went to the mall and but my stroller on the escalator because my kids were screaming for hot dog on a stick and there was no elevator in sight. Well my stroller was the kind you rent from the mall and it got stuck as we were trying to get off the escalator and it almost flipped over. I had a 45 second heart attack and every stared and not one person helped and me people kept making comments to me.Now that wasn't my proudest moment. But comeon. help a girl out. The football started in a brawl and the cops showed up with tasers. We left really fast. everyone started at me at the pool to i was like havent you ever seen a women wear a tankini and have three kids under 5. Take a picture it lasts longer. I loveyou Tami
