Girl’s Weekend!

Last weekend I had the privilege of spending the weekend with my college roommates. It is so amazing when you can just pick up a friendship right where it left off.  These gals are some amazing friends who I can just talk about ANYTHING with. I pray that everyone has the opportunity to have friends like these.   Especially, one that is a fabulous photographer and can edit our photos. Here are the pictures Julie took of us.

 

Kathryn, Nicole, Julie, and Me

Nicole and Julie are both about to have their third baby. This was a great time to relax before their lives get extra crazy.

We were able to go shopping, eat a fabulous Ted’s lunch, Skype with our other roommate, and chat until way too late without any interruptions! It is amazing how much more relaxing our time together is without our babies. Thank you to our four fabulous husbands for watching the children while we took a little time to relax and catch up.  For those of you wondering…Madeline and Nick did fabulous!  Madeline did call me me one time while playing with Nick’s phone. She had lots to tell and it all must of been very funny because she kept laughing. Nick finally took the phone and wondered why I had called.  We got a good laugh out of our 18 month old calling me. I have a feeling she might have been tattling on Nick. :) 

Labor Day 2009

We spend Tuesday – Thursday in Oklahoma City while Nick was taking some fabulous classes. Then on Thursday night we headed to Wichita to see my parents! It was nice having longer then a weekend to hang out.  I think Madeline might finally be beginning to recognize those two crazy grandparents!  We had lots of fun and the weather was so nice. Madeline enjoyed a little spin around the block in her Corvette.

Madeline and I headed over for a fabulous play date with my college friend Nicole and her two precious children Johnson, and Julia! Nicole is due with baby number 3 in a few months!  Her family is back in the United States for the next 6 months before they head back to Cambodia! We had a wonderful time catching up and the time just flew! Madeline was thrilled to be out of the hotel and playing with some fellow short people. I think she is a wee bit bored with me. :)  Thanks Nicole for the fun day!  Can’t wait to see you again at our girls weekend in a few weeks!

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?

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!

New freezer that holds meats and cooler supplies.

 

Old freezer with my labels!

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!
