Ice Skating

Today we took the girls Ice Skating for the first time!

Madison couldn't wait to hit the ICE!

Madison and Daddy had tons of FUN!

Jocelyn wasn't to sure about ice skating, but she finally decided to give it a try.

She was all SMILES until...

she fell and took Daddy out!

Madison enjoyed cheering for Daddy and Sissy!

Madison LOVED Ice Skating and wants to start taking lessons. :)

Scarecrow!

Today we took the girls to the McDonald Garden Center to make our own scarecrow!

The girls did a great job helping Daddy stuff the scarecrow with hay. They also had tons of fun picking out the clothes for our scarecrow to wear.

Madison LOVES our scarecrow!

Jocelyn can't wait to take him home.

We hope our scarecrow doesn't scare all of our neighbors! ;)

Map of the World!

Madison's teacher told her that they are going to be learning about maps next week.

So Madison decided to draw her own "Map of the World" this morning and take it in to show her teacher. I LOVE that she is SO EAGER to LEARN!

Madison's Map of the World!

At least she knows that the world is ROUND! ;)

Happy Birthday Uncle Guy!

Today we want to wish Uncle Guy (Clay's brother) a VERY HAPPY BIRTHDAY!

Clay and the girls have a "special" birthday song for Uncle Guy! ;)

We had tons of FUN golfing. Madison even got a hole-in-one on the first hole.

We went inside for pizza and cake. Scott's grandma made this awesome cake!

Scott opened our gift first and seemed to really like it!

I Love My Family!

Madison decided to write another book and take it into school to share on Friday. This time she let Jocelyn help her with the illustrations. Jocelyn got to color the grass on each page. ;)
