Powder

The pictures explain a lot. I guess every child has a powder incident. This is what I found when I walked in the door from running an errand. Jason was just around the corner but... need I say more. "Mom, I was just trying to help. Isn't this the way you usually do it"?
While we were in Abilene, Paw was trying to fix his backdoor. Maddison was trying to tell him to just get a new one, it would be a lot less work.

9 Month Appointment

We went to Maddisons 9 month appointment today and something quite funny happened. As the nurse was taking her highth she went to write it in the chart and turned back to measure again. Our doctor was standing there and here is how the conversation went:

nurse: that can not be right, that is the hight of an average two year old

doctor: o yes, you see mom here is tall, but have you seen dad he is around 6'5

nurse:yes I was correct the first time, (as she turns to look at me) you have a very long baby.

We were sad that this was our last time to see our doctor here in Amarillo. She has been there since the beginning and has really enjoyed watching Maddi grow. We are headed to a-town for our family reunion. I am sure I will have lots of pictures. Take care!

We had a really busy weekend. Our garage sell went great. It was a lot of work and we are very glad that it is over. We made enough money to purchase us a refrigerator, paint for the new house, the movers, and gas to get to Tyler. My parents also came up for the Last time. The next time they come to see us we will be in east Texas. I am sure they were glad to get out of our house because due to all the boxes and packing process our house looks like a tornado came through. We also sold our couch and big chair so there was not much to sit on except the good ol' hard wood floor. We took a little time to take a few pictures. As you can see Maddi is right in the middle of a wave. Have a good one!

Makeover

We are entered in another contest with Fabulous K and hoping to win a blog makeover. She does great work. If you have not seen her work she is linked here on mine. Take a look. I would try to do it my self but I have no clue where to even begin.

Pulling Up and Getting Quicker

Maddison has been on the go for about three weeks now, I am just a bad mom and have not posted about it. She is getting a lot quicker and is pulling up quite often. As her shirt reads, she is also getting a little attitude going on every now and then. I found these pants that she has on a while back on a clerance sale. I thought it would be a while until she could wear them, but little did I know that my 9 month old would be able to wear 18-24 month clothing. I just have to keep reminding myself that mom is tall and dad is 6'5. We have our garage sale this weekend hoping to get rid of a lot of stuff. We also hope to make a little money off of it as well. Deep down if we do not make a dime and we get rid of everything I know we would be just as happy. Thanks for stopping by!!

9 Months

We made our regular trip to Sears for 9 month pictures. Maddi did great. I was a little worried because she is on the go now. I am always so pleased with the job that the girls at Sears do. Enjoy the smiles!!

Successful Trip to Tyler

WE PURCHASED OUR FIRST HOME!!!!! Yes, we are so excited.We were in Tyler this weekend and had a great time. We went to the school for Jason to get all of the information dealing with his contract. He also tried on coats and scrubs for sizing. Saturday was a day full of looking at houses and finding just the right one. We did just that. The first house that we looked (after spending all day on about 8 others) we signed the papers that evening. Thanks to mom and dad for making the trip with us and watching Maddison all day saturday. Tomorrow we go and get 9 month pictures. I am looking forward to that because she is so much more mobile.( haha) Stay tuned.
