My Zebra!

So I found this pattern online and thought our Maddie-Cakes would look super cute in it so I have spent the past 3 nap times sewing. She does love to have her picture taken! Here are the pictures of my Madeline for your viewing pleasure!

Weekend Fun!

Our weekend started with meeting our friends the Merritts at the base toddler pool. The girls loved splashing around in the big pool and getting nice and worn out for their afternoon naps. Madeline was asleep before I even drove off base. I got her all ready for nap without her ever waking up! Then yesterday(4th of July) we headed to Lawton to do some shopping. We had lots of fun and ended the day with Madeline cozy in her bed and Nick and I out on the patio watching the neighbors fireworks. On our way to Lawton. On our way home from Lawton. :) Happy 4th of July!

Madeline says to kick up your heels and enjoy the 4th!

Happy 4th of July everyone! My friend Mandi and I whipped up these outfits. She thought out the plan bought the supplies and made the too cute hair bow and skirt. I was the boss of the shirt and ruffle panties. Having a little girl is the BEST! I hope everyone has a fabulous 4th!

My little model!

The cutest 1 year olds I know!

VBS

We just wrapped up a fabulous week of Vacation Bible School. We had around 20 kindergartners (going to be in first grade next year). They were so fun and great listeners. VBS is always lots of fun when you get to work with your friends. Madeline loved her class and I am sure she was the star of the room. :) She even made a few crafts which I am proudly displaying on the refrigerator. This is our first artwork! Here are some pictures of my fun team and our decorations.

(In case you can't tell the theme was Australia)

Here is my friend Rochelle and me by our outback sheep farm area for the Bible Study part.

Here is Natalie in the middle of missions harbor with our fabulous light house.

Father's Day 2009

At the last minute Grandma and Grandpa Searl were able to hop in the car Friday and drive on down to Altus to spend the way to short weekend with us! They got in late Friday and left early on Sunday! We were able to play some cards but most importantly they were able to play with Madeline who was loving all the attention. She even showed off some new dance moves that include backwards dancing, twirling and usually ends up with her falling on the floor! (Hopefully I will get video of this pretty soon!) Here are some pictures of our weekend.

This is how happy Madeline is when she has pigtails!

Thanks for making the long drive. We sure had fun. I'm sure the girls will win next time in cards!

Flag Day!

Happy Flag Day! In honor of this fabulous day we are celebrating the Maddie-Cake way. We are wearing our flag dress and eating some popcorn! YUMMY!

Horses and Pigtails!

We sure have been having lots of fun around the Schindler house. We have been playing with friends, hanging out by the blow up pool, finishing sewing projects (a horse hooded towel), preparing for VBS, and playing beauty shop. Here are some pictures of our adventures this week!
