Big Helper

Madison is being such a big helper lately. She wants to help me do EVERYTHING!

Today, she unloaded her laundry from the dryer all by herself. Now if she could just fold it all and put it where it belongs:)

And here she is helping me cook some "hankie pankies" for a Christmas party.

Me and my baby boy:)

Closet Renovation

My wonderful husband is in the process of renovating our bedroom. He started yesterday with our closets.

Here is a before picture. Both of our closets were unpainted and only had a wood rod in them to hang clothes on.

We picked out a color paint we wanted for our room and some closet organizer stuff...and Jason got to work. On the left of the closet I have some shelf area and shoe organizer. In the middle is a pull out drawer.
And some good hanging space and more shelf area on the right.

He also installed a light wiring it in through the attic and changed the door

to open to the left so I had more room to get in.
He moves on to his closet tomorrow, and after that he will paint our room.
The only thing we have left to get is a new comforter set.
Madison said it perfect yesterday: "Daddy is a good fixer."

And here's little man just takin' it easy:)

Rainy Day Fun...

First off, let me say that I have the best husband in the world! Jason kept the kids yesterday morning so I could go out shopping ALONE!!!

Here's what they were doing when I got back home. A homemade tent courtesy of Dad. Madison loves it. It's kind of hard to see in the picture, but Jason even made a sign that says "Madison's house" and if you can see the little bunny on the left side of the picture, that is her doorbell. (The bunny jingles because it has a bell inside:)

Nothing better to top of a cold, rainy day than a big pot of chili and a fire going.

Here's a cute picture of Madison warming up her feet.

And, the cutest girl in the world herself....Madison:)

Mason trying to sit up all by himself. Daddy's legs are behing him helping him prop up. He loves being able to sit up and see everything. He's watching Madison dance in this picture...anytime he watches her, he just lights up.

Christmas Pictures

Here are some Christmas pictures I took of the kids today. Enjoy!

Happy Holidays!

Here is Madison by "her" tree. Since we won't be home for Christmas we didn't want to go out a buy a real tree, so we just put up our little 3 foot. Madison decorated it all by herself. I think this year is going to be the most fun for her in terms of Christmas. After we got done with the tree last night, I plugged it in so the lights would come on. Madison said, "Is it Christmastime now?" I replied, "yes." And then Madison said, "Is Santa Claus gonna come bring me some presents?" (She said that last line while jumping up and down and screaming!)

She's so cute and I love to see her get so excited.

Here are a few pictures from Thanksgiving. I can't believe I didn't get a picture of everyone together, but oh well.

Mason trying to sneak a chip:)

Eating rice ceral for the first time. He loves it!

I love this picture!
