Gardening

Grandpa Bland bought Madison a wheel barrow this afternoon. She saw it at the hardware store and was so excited about it that he bought it for her. She absolutely loves to garden and help daddy around the backyard.

Helping Grandpa put it together. As you know nothing ever comes pre-assembled for kids!


Taking it for a test drive!

So the test drive didn't go as planned. Grandpa had to show her how to balance the wheel barrow. I can see this might leave a little room for some frustration for her. She is learning though slowly.

The girl's new room

We have officially put both girls into one room. We moved Scott's office out of the back room and into Madison's old room last week. The transition went smoothly and Madison loves sharing a space with her sister. Savannah on the other is not the best sleeper yet, so she is still in and out of our room so that she doesn't wake up Madison. Now if we could just get Savannah to sleep more than a couple hours at a time we would be in great shape.

Family Disneyland Day

Scott took a day off of work this week and we went to California Adventure and Disneyland. It was a great day, not too crowded.

Goofy took a picture with the four of us.


Madison was thrilled to see Minnie Mouse next!


The merry-go-round is one of her favorites.

Scott was able to go on one of his favorite rides too! He is at the far bottom right.

Did I happen to mention that it was a little warm out that day. Warm as in the 90's warm! A little hotter than we had anticipated, but we stopped and cooled off in the fountains. It was a welcome relief to be able to cool off from the heat.

Daddy and Savannah taking a break and relaxing next to Minnie's house.

This was at the end of the day while Madison waited for the much anticipated parade. I think its the best part of the experience of Disneyland. All of the kids faces light up when they see the floats and all of the characters. It is such a joy to watch Madison's big eyes stare in amazement at what is taking place. Watching our own little one's excitement is like reliving our childhood all over again.

The best part was when one of the people in the parade came up to Madison to say hello to her. Her face just lit up!!!!! It was a great end to a fun day at the happiest place on earth!
