Madison's growing up!

Madison had her first haircut on Sunday, I have trimmed her bang many times but when she saw dad and Jake get there haircut she wanted one too! So I just trimmed her hair all around and made it all the same length. She looks so pretty and still has lots of curls!

Well she finally asked! She wanted her toes painted. She keeps seeing me paint my toes and I always ask her if she wants me to paint hers and always refuses. But the other day said mommy paint my toes!!! So of course I was hesitant because I didn't think she would sit there and let them dry, but she did she sat patiently on our bathroom counter and let them dry. They are orange for halloween! She is just so big!

Jakes first bus ride

Last week ( I know I'm just barely posting it! ugh!) But he is now starting speech therapy at an elementary school and he was able to have the option to ride the bus. Which to me was very scary and I really didn't want him to but he was thrilled. So I let him. He had a great time and the bus is very cute and has seat belts on it and his bus driver is very nice so I guess it will all be alright!

Jake's first day of Preschool

Yesterday was Jake's first day of preschool. He was so excited, the week before he kept asking if swim lessons were over because I told him after swim lessons got over he would start preschool! We are so proud of him he is growing up so fast and is such a smart little boy. We hope he learns a lot by going to preschool and enjoys being there!

Our trip to the coast

So I know it's been a long time since I have posted anything!! I'm so bad at that! Well we went to the coast a few weeks ago for my sister in law's birthday! Which was alot of fun. It was also 4th of July weekend. The coast isn't much for watching fireworks due to all the fog but we did go out to the beach on the night of the 3rd and watched an okay show. But it was a good weekend. We went out to the beach which was very cold and windy (kinda sucked) but then we also stopped at the sea lion caves on our way back home and that was kinda cool so here are a couple pics from our trip!!

Madison's Destruction

So last night Mike and I were out in the garage while he was putting his new back bar on his quad, well it was about 8:45 and I had a feeling to come in so I walk in to find Madison over at the TV scratching the bottom of it with my needle nose craft sissors!!!!! I screamed!!! So yeah it's bad but not super bad but of course it's very ugly and awful. This is after all our 2,000 dollar TV!!! So she did get a spanken and was put to bed! She usually makes lots of fuss at bed and last night not a pep out of her! She knew she was in trouble. So yes we have a warranty but it only covers the electrical part. Never did I think when we bought the TV when Madison was 7 months old that she would be destructive, because Jake has always be an angel! So I called the warrenty place and of course it's not covered to fix so I called a TV repair specalist and the gave me a price of $700-$1000 to fix it. So oh well we are just going to have to deal with the uglyness! I guess I have to have my eye on Madison all the time now she's going to be a handful!

Visit from Grandma Strebe

My mom came to visit the day after Easter, Monday the 13th. She was able to stay for the whole week until Friday. We had a great visit. She got to spend a lot of time with the kids and we also got to go to one of the few attractions Roseburg has. The Wildlife Safari. It was a lot of fun having her here and spending time with my mom.
