Family Pictures

Yesterday I had my dad take some pictures of our little family since we didn't have one with Kennedie in it yet. It's a lot harder to get a good picture of all of us then you would think. Madison did not like the idea of pictures.


Let me know what you think!

Conversations

Madison is turning 2 years old tomorrow...how that happened and where those 2 years went I have no idea. This morning I realized how much she has grown and changed over the past 2 years. I can have conversations with her...even though they are so funny and pointless. I thought I would share with you guys how our conversation went this morning while I was doing my hair. It's not unlike every other conversation that we have.

After I turned off the blow dryer (she doesn't like the noise) she came in and said:

Madison: Hi mommy, my all done. (with breakfast)

Me: You're all done? Are you sure?

Madison: Yeah, my all done. Mommy, Kennenie (Kennedie) go potty toilet.

Me: Oh Kennedie went potty in the toilet? I highly doubt that. Hey Madison did you know tomorrow is your birthday?!?!? Should we sing the birthday song?

Madison: No. No mommy top it! (stop it)

Me: Why? Aren't you excited for your birthday? What should we do? Should we go to Jumpin' Jacks?

Madison: No, no top it. Mommy my clean daddy's shower.

Me: Oh, your cleaning daddy's shower? That's nice of you.

Madison: Mommy, daddy clean door. (the cupboard door, Alan was painting it last weekend)

Me: Oh did daddy paint the door?

Madison: Yeah, daddy paint door. My paint daddy shower. Oh, other shower! (very excited)

Me: Yeah, cool Madison.

Madison: Mommy, Kennenie go potty toilet. Kennenies duckys.
(then, after glancing at the Christmas tree) Oh, balls on tree! (very excited again)

Me: Yeah there are balls on the tree. Are we supposed to touch them?

Madison: Yes I sure...(she never finishes this sentence with a do, am, etc.) Oh, mommy my princess tool (stool), mommy my turn.

Me: Oh do you want to do your hair.

Madison: Yes I sure...(after brushing her hair) Oh mommy pretty. Mommy my go Jumpin' Jacks.

Me: Yeah, should we go tomorrow for your birthday?

Madison: Yes. My see daddy morrow.

Me: Yes you will see daddy tomorrow huh?

(silence while we do our hair together)

Me: Madison please don't eat the counter, it's yucky.

Madison: No mommy, my like it. It's so good. Oh, my yapple juice! (apple juice)

(she runs from the room)

Madison: Oh mommy, Kennenie crynin. (crying)

And that was the end of me remembering what was said. But when I sat down to write it down so I wouldn't forget it, she had to go and get her book so she could color too.

I seriously love this little girl. She is so random and funny. There is never a dull moment when she is around and there is rarely a silent moment. She always has to be saying something. She is so fun and I love it!

I plan on making the change next Saturday. If you would rather email me, it's aubreypaxton@gmail.com. Thanks!

It's official...

I've finally done it. I've finally decided to take the plunge and join the world of Stampin' Up! demonstrators. As part of my decision I am starting up a card of the month club. The way it works is, starting in January, I will send out 3 different greeting cards, (birthday, thank you, friendship, get well, etc.) to each member of the club for $6.00 a month. They will be original and hand stamped cards made by me...maybe with a little help from Alan...we'll see. It's been a big decision and I'm really excited about it and I hope it will work out. I also started up a blog for my business. You can take a peek at it at monthlycards.blogspot.com. Let me know what you think!
