Winter Fun

Let's just say it snowed ALOT this winter!! The kids love to get bundled up and go out and play in it but honestly it is ALOT of work for this momma...so we braved the elements and got everyone bundled up and hit the park with our sleds in tow. They had so much fun I almost felt bad for not letting them play in the snow more...I am sure that I won't get that lucky this winter! Mallory went in layered pajamas because she had zero snow gear...but she didn't even care. It is nice to post these pictures in June when it is 90 degrees outside!

Daddy Daughter Dance 2011

Maddie and Matt attended the annual Tri Kappa Daddy Daughter dance in February. Maddie enjoyed a day of pampering by getting her nails and hair done! She was beautiful and enjoyed the evening with her daddy and friends too!
