Birthday Party

After such a long week/weekend, we still had one more festivity to attend. Madelyn's birthday party!!!! She had a princess party, too! I had to laugh at my friend Tara, because I was so proud of my princess cake, and Madelyn's cake looked absolutely awesome (blew mine out of the water)! The day was beautiful, and the girls had so much fun. Macy wouldn't join the group shot - and when she did she cried. However, 30 minutes later, she walked over to the steps, sat down, and said, "Mommy, picture!" Of course! I at least got a cute one of her and Madison sitting together in their dresses and pig tails! What a fun day!

Family Reunion

We have been on the go starting last weekend with a wedding, birthday party, hosting an end-of-the-year staff party at our house, Mom coming, hosting bunco, finishing school, and heading for Appleton on Friday. I had a nice dinner with some college friends, and we stayed at Jeremy and Jen's house Friday night. The kids all played well together, and tired each other out! We had a family reunion in the area, and stayed for a couple of hours, before heading home to a neighborhood party, and a birthday party the next day. Here was a group picture from the reunion (we all wore black to show which "branch" we were from) and a picture of Macy during the group photo! She didn't make it that long! The girls are such troopers!

White Potato Lake

For the third year in a row, we went to Pound, WI, with my parents to my Aunt Karen and Uncle Dennis' lake house. It is north of Green Bay, south of Crivitz. The girls did pretty well, despite some attitude from Macy (and it was only to my Aunt...she really loves you, Karen)! The girls especially enjoyed the boat rides, and getting to drive the boat. It was very nice weather...a little cooler on the boat which is why we were cozy, but warm enough that the girls played in water both days! We brought the elmo sprinkler up and they loved that. The next day, we went to the other side of the lake and swam by a friend's house. They have grandchildren, so they already had the slide in the water. They were both little ice cubes when they came out, but didn't want to stop! They loved it! Thanks for another great year and Mem. Day weekend, Karen and Dennis!

Pretend beach

Robin had a week theme of beach, and they ended the week with a "pretend beach." Needless to say, Madison asks for her swimsuit every morning and Macy will start to undress herself if she sees her swimsuit on the ground! I'm very excited that the weather is getting warmer so we can take the fun in our suits outside! One of the days was warm enough that when we came home, Robin was outside with the girls in the little pool. I just bought a new one from Kohl's, so I'm sure that will be coming out of it's box very soon!

Sunday morning

Last Sunday morning when we were around town, we took this great picture of the girls. They were snuggling on the couch together, each with a book (pinkilicious and purplicious). They are starting to play really nice together...sometimes!

Bath time

Bath time has been so much fun lately because the girls love it so much! They have been lying on their bellies together, and also on their backs. What little fishes!!! We're hoping to get Macy into swim lessons as well, starting in June.

Definitely our daughter

Culver's had a fundraiser today for the Red Cross, so we treated ourselves to ice cream. Madison also had her last swimming lessons and had a great "report card," so we had another reason to celebrate. Macy really enjoyed the ice cream...almost too much! Both girls are like Mommy and Daddy because we all like ice cream, but we couldn't get over Macy's big bites!!!!!!
