Madison's 2nd Birthday Party!!!

I know I'm a lot behind, but I have finally gotten around to blogging Madison's birthday party from 1 month ago!!! I am just exhausted at night when I get home from work and really have forgot how much I have missed blogging about my family! Only 7 more weeks to go!!!

Anyway, we had Madison's birthday party a week before her actual birthday at Grandpa and Grandma Keller's home. We invited all grandparents, great-grandparents, aunts and uncles, cousins, and many friends Mark and I had not seen in a very long time. It was a great party with great company!!

If you couldn't tell, the party was Minnie Mouse themed.

We also rented a bounce house for Madison's party. As Mark and I drove to Newton with the truck loaded down with a bounce house, food, gifts, clothes and the cake resting on my belly because there was no where else to put it, we thought to ourselves......what in the hell are we thinking!?!? For a two year olds birthday party!! But the bounce house was a hit for the kids! I think Mark enjoyed it a little too!

I'm mad at myself for not getting a picture of the whole bouncy. It was a big Scooby Doo. Madison kept saying, "Scooby sleeping", the whole week after. We told her Scooby was tired and had to sleep after the party.

More bouncy fun!!!

Cake time! Madison didn't do to much blowing! Mom and Dad had to help.

Opening presents!

We ended the night with an outdoor movie, of course Mickey Mouse Club House!! Pa pa made popcorn and it was delicious. The kids loved it!!

We hope you had a great 2nd birthday party Madison!!

We love you!!!!


And the best picture of the day for last......

Birthday part 2....

On Madison's actual birthday we took her to the zoo in the morning for "Boo at the Zoo". It was a lot of fun and great weather. Later that day we went trick-or-treating to Uncle Patrick and Aunt Sarah's. Then we headed home to greet many other trick-or-treaters and to give Madison her own little party. She unwrapped gifts and ate chocolate cake! What a great day!!

Madison is getting really good at opening presents. She thinks they are all for her and then when she is done she ask, "more?" She will be lots of fun at Christmas this year!

One more to blow out!

Yummy!

She loves chocolate!! She is a true girl!!

Happy 2nd Birthday Madison!!!!

Hair Raising Fun!

On Sunday the Keller family headed to The Magic House. Mark and I were reminiscing the childhood memories we had experienced on the way there, and my how it has changed! I think it is twice as big with so much more to do!! Madison had a great time. It was like a big play ground for her.

Madison shopping at the market. Yummmm.......asparagus!

I think we did this about five times.......

The best part of the whole trip! I didn't know how she would do, but I think the smile says it all! That might be the only time her hair will be straight!!!

Hello Mr. Obama, I need some tips.

What a great day at The Magic House! I even got in a picture!

Introducing baby #2!

Mark and I had our ultrasound a couple of weeks ago and we wanted to introduce baby number two!! We didn't find out the sex again, but this one sure was a lot more calm than Madison ever was!! I don't want to jinx it!

Everything looked healthy and growth was 70th percent.

I'm always amazed by the spine pictures. It's crazy looking!

A face lift and some new bling!!

Mark has spruced up the swing set with some new stain and a little sweat!
I must say it looks brand new!

After

Not only did the swing set get a face lift, it also received some bling from Grandma Keller. Vickie had this weathervane from an old Morton building they tore down a couple of years ago. She gave it to Madison because of the "M" on top. She thought it would look good in pink on top of Madison's swing set. I think she was right! Thanks for the great idea Vickie!! It's too cute!
