Summer Fun!

Well, I tried to start this blog and then was a little confused on how to use it. Thanks to a great friend, who helped show me how to get it started! Thanks Celeste!! I promise that I will keep everyone posted on what our family is doing!!

Our summer has been filled with lots of fun...well, as much as we can since I am finishing up my grad school. I am in the middle of my very last class! What a great feeling...But in between school and homework, we are keeping Madelynn busy or maybe I should say, she is keeping us busy! We have been going to a sports class at the Westerville Rec Center, play group, Story Time at the New Albany library, many trips to the pool, and lots of fun at home...Here are a few photos of our family's summer fun...

Madelynn's favorite place to be...the pool! She loves swimming, especially in Honnah and Popper's pool. Memorial Day '10

Madelynn exploring her new ball sprinkler.

She loves eating ice cream, especially orange sherbet!

Madelynn is such a great eater...She loves her corn-on-the-cob!

Again, she loves to swim! Although, she loves to be in the water, she is a little unsure of the sand...Swimming in Maw Maw and Tom's pond. June '10

Kennedy, Kinsey, and Madelynn on the beach of the pond...June '10

This summer, she has also discovered the fun of dress-up. She found one of my dad's old hats and loves to put it on!!

We went over to Easton for dinner one night and thought Madelynn would like to play in the fountains...She was not so sure of it!!

Madelynn's 1st ride in Daddy's Jeep! 4th of July fun...She rode in it to the 4th of July festival. She was a little unsure of the wind, but after a little bit, she seemed to enjoy it!!

Madelynn's 1st fireworks show...She LOVED it!

Of course, we were a little worried because we had to wake her up to take her, but she was awesome. She was so happy when we got her up (Daddy says that she does not get that from her Mommy) and watched the fireworks. When we got home, she laid right back down and went to sleep!

Madelynn's Ace Ventura hair style!

Our annual trip to the zoo with our nieces!

July '10

My sister took a trip to Mexico with her husband, so when my mom and Tom watched the girls, they brought them down to go to the zoo. The girls did great, despite the hot and humid weather!! Madelynn really liked the animals...

Daddy with MJ and Kinsey...looking at the monkeys!

Mommy and MJ at the zoo! (She was pouring water all over her, it is not sweat!)

This was Daddy's idea...notice the box says "Ship to Rwanda!"

We were not even out of the parking lot of the zoo...What a day!!

Summer is going by so quickly...In just a few weeks, we will be taking our family vacation to San Diego. I can't wait to get away and relax with my family. Until then, we will continue to enjoy our summer!
