Happy Halloween!!!

Man alive! Where does the time go??? This halloween Madie was a flower and I was a bumblebee...NOT my favorite insect, actually I hate and run from anything that flys, scurries or scampers, but the costume fit my ever growing self! We trick or treated with Ben's little brother and sister in Temecula and had a great time. Madie would hold up her bag and say "treat" for candy. What can I say? My girl don't want no tricks :) Anyways here are some pics of the evening.

Nana, Madie and PapaMadie with Auntie Liz and Uncle NathanTrick or Treating with her Aunt and UncleMadie making sure that no one messed with her loot!

Also, I am 24 weeks prego with only 16 weeks to go! WOOHOO!!! This pregnancy has totally been harder than the last and I could say it's because we are having a boy, but we're not! We are having another little girl and couldn't be happier! We are planning to name her Emily Lane Smith, since that is what we can agree on for now ;) I'll post some baby/belly pics some day soon!

Party Party!

Okay...still late but doing better!!! Madie's first birthday was a blast and turned out as good as I imagined! We had so much fun! It was of course a "Yo Gabba Gabba" party theme with all the things Madie likes best! We played pin the flower on Foofa, had a pinata and bubbles blowing throughout the party. We also had Gabba music playing the whole time. It was fun! Madie seemed to really enjoy it and she got so many fun presents from all her friends! Thanks to everyone who made it a success! And for all the friends and family who made it a party! Here are some pics from the day! I think Madie's favorite present was a few days early...When we found out that she is going to be a Big Sister!!! We are due March 2nd which makes me about 11 weeks today! We are so excited even though I am again sicker than a DOG! oh well it all pays off in the end right? Anyways, we will keep you posted and updated and I will try my best not to wait so long :)

FLIP!!! It's already JULY!!!!

Man! Where does the time go??? I am sitting here while Madie is asleep not believing that she will be 1 on saturday!!! It's seriously crazy to me!!! A year ago this time I was crying that my doctor wouldn't induce thinking that I was going to be pregnant FOREVER!!! I actully cried making my "next" OB/GYN appointment to the ladies at the desk that I didn't know. They handed me a tissue and looked at each other. Looking back, that was pretty embarrassing. But now I can't slow the time down even if I try!!! It is crazy! I know I have said that like 3 times already but it IS!!! man alive...anyways, here are some pics from Easter...dang I suck! I promise this day to post at least once a week!!! But don't hate me if my promise is crap :)We started at Grandma & Grandpa Smiths for an Easter Dinner and some fun with cousins Then we went outside to "find" the well hidden eggs.

It was soon discovered that there was CANDY in the eggs :) Obviously she likes the NERDS as much as her mom...Why else did I marry Ben? :) Happy girl getting ready to dye eggs...Easter is so much fun! Dying Eggs with mom Madie's 1st egg and easter :) 1st Easter egg Sunday Easter Dress Easter afternoon at Nana's & Papa's - Her 1st Easter basket! Amazed at MORE candy!!!
