What do 2 1/2 year olds talk about on the phone??

Popsicles and stickers! Hit the play button to find out. This is Madelyn talking to Dylan (5 days apart) on the phone – I have it on speaker so you can here him. Precious . . .

More Talkin'

I love the sounds he makes and his "sucking in air" giggles that startle him!

Poo Poo on the Potty

Miss Madelyn has gone pee pee on the potty before but on Monday, she went poo poo on the potty! We are so proud of our girl! She got to pick out and wear her big girl panties (Care Bears) and put a sticker on her Dora Potty Training Chart! Way to go Maddie!

Marek’s Giggles

Marek loves to talk with his mimi and mommy. He actually nods when I ask him if he missed me! He gets tickled and giggles when he makes sounds!

Marek and Maddie Misc

Marek loves his light up ring stacker that also plays music. He's getting so big so fast.

With our cart in full swing - I picked up Chase and Ashlynn from school while Stephanie was working. We had such a fun day playing outside but then it started getting too cold!

Mimi has been here for 2 weeks and she is leaving us on Wednesday morning. She is such an amazing woman and has been so very helpful during this crazy time of opening our cart. I am so very blessed. She is going to miss her babies so much.

BeYOUtique is Open for Business!!

We started our cart at Hulen Mall this past Friday and have had so much fun! It's been crazy but everything has been going so great. We thank everyone for their continued prayers and encouragement! Erin - THANK YOU for visiting us - you are an amazing person and we love you.

All of us in front of our cart on opening day - Friday the 13th!! We're so brave . . .

Ride 'em Cowgirl

Maddie went to the cowgirl museum with Mimi on Thursday. She got to ride the buckin' bronco and LOVED it! I love the waving - she could see herself on the screen which she also loves. She started off with her hat on but it didn't stay on long. Watch out Mimi - she is very brave to run along side the ferocious bucking bronco . . .

Ride 'em Cowgirl1

Maddie went to the cowgirl museum with Mimi. She got to ride the bull and LOVED it! I love the waving - she could see herself on the screen which she also loves.

Ride 'em Cowgirl2

It's amazing that she can ride that buckin' bronco and wave at the same time!

Marek Practically Crawling

Our little guy is so strong! He's just about crawling. He had rolled over to his back from his belly about 2 weeks ago. He did it twice in one morning and hasn't done it again but he tries really hard! He's almost scooting around!

Love the drool . . .

I love how he always looks so surprised . . .

He's laughing with me - not at me . . .

Where's mom? Oh - taking the photo . . . again . . .

Made ya look!

I love that boy . . .

Madelyn on Ride at Sea World

Madelyn wasn't scared of the kiddie rides at all! She was fake screaming on one of the rides only because all of the other kids were!

San Antonio and Sea World

We took the kids on a road trip to San Antonio last weekend. All of us were sick with a cold except daddy but everything worked out and we had a great time!

Maddie running to the "beach" and lazy river.

She couldn't wait to get in!

She literally ran from one thing to the next. She ran to the playground, went down the slide and then ran from the playground to the bike . . .

Maddie trying to ride a big girl bike. Her little legs were just not long enough . . .

Waiting for Mimi on the luggage carriers . . .

Mimi helped watch Marek while we took Maddie to Sea World on Sunday.

We stayed at the Hyatt Hill Country - it will be a family tradition - such a great family and kid friendly place - we had so much fun!

Daddy went off and came riding back with a bike Maddie's size!

She loved it!

Sea World!

We rode a few rides . . .

Saw lots of animals . . .

And we even saw a few shows . . .

We had talked about Shamu for weeks so we saved that show for last!

Maddie was feeling very warm and was getting very heavy eyes as she ate her popcorn and watched Shamu.

Poor Maddie had fever and was EXHAUSTED by the end of the day.

Daddy bought Maddie a stuffed Shamu and she settled down for a nice long nap!

Monday we spent the day riding the lazy river and relaxing!

Marek's Milestones and Smiles

My little guy is growing, growing, growing! He's about 15 1/2 lbs already - my little beefcake.

He's got a strong grip and has found his hands - always sucking on his fists . . .

Holding his big 'ol head up!

I've finally gotten organized enough to catch some of his smiles! He loves his daddy . . .
