My Darling Daughter.....

As if you can't tell, I LOVE my daughter! On occasion, in between temper tantrums and mood swings she does the CUTEST things! Ü I can't even begin to tell you everything she has done to brighten my days. This past Saturday she pulled about the cutest stunt I have ever seen! We were hanging out together, trying to be quiet and not wake Daddy up since he was working graveyards. I noticed Madi kept going by our pictures hanging next to our door. Everytime she would see them she would reach up and point to something and grin. I picked her up and she started rambling something, who knows what, but I kept hearing Da da in there. So I asked her "Where's Da-da?" and without skipping a beat she pointed right at her dad in the picture. I'm not afraid to admit it... I cried! It just never fails to amaze me to see everything click together for her. She is starting to really figure things out.

After we had enough of being quiet I thought it would be fun to get Madi in her new swimsuit and go play in her pool. Of Course we had to model the suit off first. Grandma & Grandpa were working on the deep freezer (apparently my dad had an archery mis-hap that involved the freezer). So our first stop was out to check their progress and do a little bit of modeling.

Ok, seriously.... how cute is that?????

I just couldn't stop there. We had to do a little bit of fun photos. My sassy little one pulled out her best vogue faces.... what do you think?

5 New things you may not know about Madi

- She knows how to spell her name and has for a while now.
- She is incredibly smart! She picks up everything like a sponge! We have to watch what we say around her, she already has 2 swears in her vocab and knows how to use them.... Oops!
- She REFUSES to be potty trained! She knows what she is supposed to do, she just doesn't want to. She can be SO stubborn... definitely her momma's child!
- She loves to play with trains. Who woulda thought?
- She never really out-grew the security spoon thing. Her spoons have just grown in size along with her. She now plays AND sleeps with my big wooden cooking spoons.

Not long after Madi was born we noticed that she would gasp for air when she slept. We asked her Doctor about it and at first he checked her throat and didn't find anything, so he told us that all babies do that and not to worry. The problem was, she never stopped and I couldn't stop worrying. At her next appointment I again asked him about it and he said that as a precaution we would have her hooked up to a monitor for a couple of days and test her to see where her levels were. He said that the alarm might go off but not to worry. Well the alarm NEVER quit! Now we have an appointment with a specialist on October 1st. Wish us luck that everything is ok and that she will be better soon!

Georgie was SO sick!

Georgie was SO sick!

Not long after we bought George he got really sick. We were really worried about him and didn't know what we were going to do. After about a week with the vet it was discovered that he had very severe ulcers (apparently his cushy life was just too much to handle!) When he came home he had an IV line sewn into his neck and we had to give him lots of meds! He laid in his stall all day and it was so sad to watch! But he pulled through like a champ and he is back to rockin and rollin! We love this guy!

Buddy Boy

Buddy Boy

This is Buddy. Bryon bought buddy when we started dating. He was looking for a dog and I found him on the internet. Bryon just had to have him! He was such a cute puppy. It took some adjusting to get used to being at our house. When he was about 6 months old he was trampled by one of our horses. We had to take him to the vet to get all fixed up. Buddy hasn't quite learned his lesson yet though. He is always having close calls. I guess we'll just wait for his next emergency. In the mean time he has become an excellent bird dog and Bryon LOVES to take him duck hunting!

Sparky Park

Sparky Park

This is Sparky. He started out as a barn cat but has since turned into one of the dogs! Sparky was born in a storage box at the feed store, Saddle Up. When he and his litter mates were old enough to leave mom he didn't know how to walk. Because he was raised in a box he never had to walk. I took him home and kept him in a crate in the barn and I had to bottle feed him milk. It just so happened that at the same time, Molly was going through a false pregnancy and had milk but no babies. She felt that it was her duty to raise Sparky. She took him in an nursed him and cared for him. To this day they still love each other and Sparky eats and sleeps with the dogs. Now if he could just figure out that he is a cat and start eating the mice in the hay we would be in business!

Stormy the half faced wonder!
