Pigtails!

Today is a day we have been waiting for!  All of Madeline’s hair now fits up into pigtails!  Isn’t she the cutest. Here she is watching her Baby Can Read!  Did I mention that I am a sucker for infomercials?

Harvest

 

Isn’t this the most beautiful tomato?  It is all thanks to our Topsy Turvy!  Yes, we have harvested 3 of these tomatoes from our Topsy Turvy! This plant has been growing for month and months!  I have watered it , fertilized it, talked to it, and checked it for bugs. Not only have we only gotten 3 tomatoes the Topsy Turvy is tearing and will not make it to another summer season.  Did I mention the size of this tomato?

Yes this is the same tomato just zoomed out!  The three tomatoes are just not filling Nick, Madeline, and myself up!

New Fridge!

Warning, Warning, Warning!

This post has nothing to due with Madeline so if you only care about her then skip this post about Nick and I.  My parents bought a new refrigerator almost a year ago and have been storing their old one for us. They delivered it in the new shiny red truck last weekend. It has been fabulous. Here are a few pictures. I cleaned out my other freezer and even labeled the shelves so now it might stay organized! Thanks Mom and Dad. I do think Nick is a little grumpy I cleaned out the freezer.

He has been eating frozen leftovers most of the week!

New Fridge in the laundry room. They had to take off the molding and build a platform for it to fit. The hole was an inch too small!

Playing at the park!

Madeline and I have fallen in love with the toddler park on base. It is so nice. Today Nick and I took Madeline over there and actually had to drag her away.

She use loves the slide and yellow tube!

Chick-Fil-A

Tara, Eva, Madeline, and I took a road trip to Lawton to hit up the good ole’ Sams!  Tara is due with baby number 2 in just a few days! She needed to stock up on the important things like breakfast bars, peaches, and diapers!  We had a few people ask if our girls were twins!  Here they are sharing the shopping cart. I really think they loved riding around together. They just chatted and chatted.  Then we headed to Chic-Fil-A. The girls loved the play area. It was just the right size.

Here are some pictures of our fun day!

Cattle Drive

Today was the kick off to what will be a super fabulous rodeo weekend!  We headed to the base and watched the cattle drive. Madeline just kept pointing at the cows and horses. She even clapped a few times.

This is by far one of my favorite things about Altus!
