First Haircut...just a trim

Maddie had her first haircut! She tends to have my hair, which can be WILD if not tamed! We went to Cool Cuts for Kids and had them trim it up and she got some bangs so her hair would not be in her face all the time.

The Before

Watching Dora (the only cartoon she knows)

Showing off her new haircut with Margarita (the lady that cut her hair)

Too tired to even eat my Cheerios. We went to lunch with Mimi, got a haircut and

went shoe shopping. It was a fun day!!

Pointe West Galveston Texas

Maddie LOVED the ocean and she had so much fun spending time with her cousins. This was her first time to see the ocean and 'swim' in it. She loved splashing in the shallow water and walking around in it. She also liked shoveling sand into the bucket.

She wanted to go 'night night' in the ocean

Luggage Carts....

Maddie likes the luggage carts when we travel. I think this will have to be a picture tradition.

July 4th Weekend

For July 4th we went to Illinois and Indiana to visit Maddie's Great Grandparents, Great Aunt and Uncle and my cousin and her family. We had a great time catching up! The great grandparents were so happy to see her. She had changed a lot since they had seen her last. We made an attempt to get a picture of all three great grandkids together, but that was easier said than done.
