A Muddy Mess!

Did I mention that we had torrential rain the past few days?....I think I did.

And did I mention what happens to our backyard when we get lots of rain?....A muddy mess!

And did I mention, that we've all been a little bored stuck inside with the rainy weather?....

Well Not Today!!!

I just had to take some pictures (because I was going nuts on the inside, but trying to let Madison have a little fun!)

Did I mention....that after Madison came in and took a bath, and we got all cleaned up...that I deleted the pictures by accident?

And did I mention....that because I deleted the pictures....I let Madison go back outside (after just getting out of the bath), and do a repeat photo shoot?

Am I losing it or what? If you think so.... Just don't mention it!

Spring Has Sprung!

Despite the last few days of torrential rain, we've had some very pretty weather. Before Grant left this last time to go offshore, we took advantage of the weather, and headed to the park with the girls. I'm still playing with my camera that I got at Christmas, and was looking to take a few pics of the girls, as well. I think they got tired of me...but, oh well!! One day, they'll be glad that they had a camera in their face all the time!!

(This one is my ABSOLUTE FAVORITE!!! I love it!)

Hope you all have a great week!!!

Love ya,

Amber

Happy Valentine's Day!!!

Grant was offshore Valentine's Day...so we surprised him with this video and emailed in on Valentine's Day!!! Amber

Party at the Park

We FINALLY had Madison's birthday party at the park. There was threats of rain the day it was planned, but thankfully, the rain held off. It turned out to be a little overcast, mild temperature day....and all the kids had lots of fun!!

Madison enjoyed opening her presents from all her friends!

Blowing out the candles was fun, too (esp. trying to get them lit...did I mention it was windy?)

I can see why Abbey thought the cake was a upside-down heart, now...from this angle...

BUT...wha la...it's a horse!! (I made it, so I was a little offended by the "upside-down heart" comment!!)

Audrey had fun at the party too...as long as she had a cupcake in her hand...which was pretty much the WHOLE time!!!

I liked this picture of my mom with Audrey! (see that cupcake in Audrey's mouth?)

Random pictures!

*****Update...here's those pictures I was looking for, of Madison losing her first tooth!!!

You are probably wondering why a picture of my refrigerator would be on my blog? Well...let me try to explain. I went to take a bath one night, and came into the kitchen afterwards to find that Madison has put all of the ABC's that were scattered ALL OVER the frig in order, and had neatly arranged my papers, and I thought I'd died and gone to TYPE-A Heaven!! It was wonderful!!!

The girls "squeaky-clean" after their baths, one night!! How cute, they are! (You'll notice also Madison lost her tooth!! ...I'll try to find those pictures somewhere and post one of that!)

Audrey's got a little "Mary Kay" in her blood I guess...because she was trying to do her lips...only it was with my eyeliner!!! But...she loved it!

Love ya,

Amber
