things i have made...lately

My niece, Julianna's, girlscout troop asked me to make them pillowcases! 18 of them..with their names embroidered on them too...yep, I said 18...I think they are needing even more!!! It was a huge undertaking, but when it was all over I really did enjoy it...it kept me busy:)

this is not all of them, I wasn't quite finished when Camille picked these up

3 girls in my mom's group are all expecting girls very close to one another. So some mom's got together to throw an adorable surprise shower for them last week. We were supposed to where pink, paint our nails pink..it was cute.
Unfortunately, Madeline decided that day to resume her morning nap...so I asked Camille to run over and stay with her so I could drop off my gifts and cake balls.
I was sad to miss it, but I just couldn't bear to wake her up.

here are the burp clothes I made...you can't see the names that well because of the flash:(

and some yummy pink and white cake balls

love you all!!!

austin bound

Wednesday we headed to Austin for the State Golf Tournament. Corey's team did not qualify, but he went to support his friends that did. Madeline and I decided to tag along so we could spend some time with the Copelands.

Madeline was so much better on this car trip than last time.
So happy

Thursday morning Madeline and I went to Christi's house to visit with her and Harper.
The girls had the best time, and, well...so did Christi and I. It was just so nice to sit around with no agenda..loved it and wish we could do it more often.

I should mention why Madeline is half naked...Christi took some of the sweetest pictures of her and we were transitioning from outfit to outfit when I took these. To be honest Madeline would stay like this all day if I would let her.

big girls

playing peekaboo

Remember when Madeline would close her eyes when the flash went off in her eyes?? Well now she says "cheese" and squishes up her face like this in EVERY picture.

Out to dinner at the County Line...delicious

looking at the turtles

hanging out on the hotel bed....there's that face again

Such a fun trip!!!
Thanks, Babe, for letting us tag along!!!

mother's day 2011

Mother's day was so nice this year, it really was Mother's Day weekend around here!

Saturday night Corey made me a beautiful dinner on the patio and that was followed by an even more beautiful breakfast the next morning.
I felt so loved!

Then we headed to church, it was such a perfect day.

catch up

Last week my friend's son, Brock, came over to play. I was so happy to have him, but I think little Madeline was even more excited!!!

she wasn't too sure about the whole "sharing" thing

we can't wait to see you again Brock
