Cousin Time

We were so excited when Bella and Sophia came over to play for the day!! We all went out to lunch then came home and I think the girls spent almost the entire day outside. It was a really nice day and they wanted to take full advantage of it!! They jumped and swung on the swings, rode on the toys, sidewalk chalk and blew bubbles!! They had such a great time together! Brady is always out numbered by the girls!! :)

When it was time for them to go home Madi asked them if they will come again and there was a resounding yes yes yes!! And little Sophia asked me if she could come back the next day!! :) I just love them to pieces!

Madi the Make-up Artist

What girl doesn't love make-up, especially two 4 year olds!! I think it's safe to say that Madi is a creative little girl!! (which I am going to take credit for) Maggie gave Madi a makeover then Madi worked her make-up magic on Maggie too! It really was so cute to watch them. After they were done Madi asked me to take their pictures so here they are!
And of course who wouldn't be playing dress up while they were doing make-up too!! I'm not sure what Madi was thinking by adding the bunny ears but she sure looks cute!!

Schnepf Farms

Warning....lots of fun pictures to see!!

We went to Schnepf Farms this year and drug Brady's parents along with us. Can you believe that being a native from Arizona that this was my first time there?? I can't...it was such a blast that we will definately be return customers.

Nana & Madi on the Bee ride.

Our little pilot-I think she rode this ride a dozen times.

And this was Madi's first more "real" rollercoaster experience besides the little kid one at the fair and she wanted to sit by Papa, not Daddy, Papa was sitting in the very front. Madi got off the ride and said is was a little too fast and kind of scary but said she might go on it again and was ready for the corn maze (she's a big fan of mazes but usually only gets to do them on paper)

Madi wanted to be the leader so off she went and all of us followed along as she zigged and zagged her way through the maze and she eventually found her way out and was so excited! It was so cute to see the excitement on her face when she saw the opening. What a cutie. Then off for some more fun. There is just so much to do and see on this great big farm.
After some time had passed Madi asked Papa if he would take her on the rollercoaster again and he jumped at the chance and off they went (but didn't sit up front the second time which was probably a wise choice). She was much happier the second time and this is them skipping back to where the rest of us where sitting.
We did so many more things but I do think I won't post all the pictures I have. But we did have so much fun and we were happy that Nana and Papa were able to come too!! Thanks guys it was so much fun with you!! At the very end we went to their pumpkin patch so Madi could pick out our family pumpkin like she gets to each year and she walked along each little path and found her perfect not so little pumpkin and this is how I found our pumpkin princess....
When I walked up to her she said, "Momma, I LOVE the crinkely one....it's perfect." She is right...it is the perfect pumpkin.

Happy Birthday Ava!

Yesterday Madi was able to go to another birthday party!! It was for her sweet friend Ava who turned 4!! All Madi could talk about the Friday before was going to Ava's party at Chucky Cheese and all the fun she would have there. And she was right-it was a blast!

I think she would've played every game a million times and ride every possible little ride there a million more times if there was enough hours in the day (and enough coins). Thank you Ava for inviting us to your party. It was so much fun!!

And here is Brady's new little pal, Brec...he came right up to Brady like they've been friends forever!! What a cutie-pie!!
