Maddie’s 2nd Birthday!

There are no need for words here because I have about 400 pictures I am about to show you. And speaking of, I can take credit for none of them, that’s right, none. Maddie’s buddy Grayson, his dad does freelance photography and may have offered to take a few pictures – slash – document the whole party. So, Brendan, I appreciate it so much! Here is all the fun we had with thirty people and a great sunny day! Maddie’s theme was fish – can you tell?


Ahh what a fun and exhausting day! We all crawled into Maddie’s bed and read a fishie book to cap off the evening

Swim Lessons

We signed Maddie up this year to take swim lessons. She does them on Saturday with Dada from 10 – 10:30 and she loves it. It doesn’t hurt that her bested bud Park and his Dada Scott do it too. This week I got to go and see one finally! The past two Saturdays I have had something to do, so I was super excited to go and see all that they do. And, a added bonus for Maddie, Aunt Lin was in town and did the lesson with her this week so Dada could go on a bike ride. They had a blast for sure! This was just the morning of Maddie’s big day because later we had her kids birthday party!


Now if this isn't the cutest thing . . .

Mama’s big helper!

“Mama, help you.”

”Help Donny.”

“Mobile Donny?”


”Bunny Donny?”


”Oh, Donny so happy!”
