A Fish Named Madi

Here is a video of Madison at swim lessons. This was Madison's second year to take survival swimming lessons so she just did a 2 week refresher course. They teach the kids how to swim * float * swim. I have been completely amazed at how well she has caught on to it. She is almost too confident in her swimming abilities and often swims away from me. She has NO fear in the water which is both a good and bad thing. I'm very proud of my little Madison!

Happy 5th birthday Jason!

It's hard to believe my sweet little baby boy is 5, how is that even possible?! We held the party at the firestation near our house and he had lots of little friends to celebrate with. The firefighters were great with the kids and we dined on pizza and cake. I made my very first fancy cake, a fire truck. Luckily my friend Ashli helped me with it, and I was pretty proud of it for a first try! Happy 5th birthday Jason, thanks for the best 5 years of my life!

Louisiana

We took a trip to Louisiana a couple of weeks ago to attend my cousin Matt's wedding. It was an 8 hour car trip and the kids were PERFECT! Seriously I kept wondering who these kids were that were sitting so nice and quiet for 8 hours straight. I'm so glad we can go on road trips now and not have to worry about the kids melting down! the first night we were there Shane and I went to New Orleans for the night and had a great time in the French Quarter. We had hurricanes, crawfish ettouffe and beignets, you know, the best things in life...... YUM!!! The next day was Matt's wedding and it was wonderful to get to see so much of our family. I only wish we could have seen everyone for longer, it was only a four day trip.
