Girly to the "T"

Here is a sweet picture of our 3 year old Berkley!! ALL girl!! This is how she would prefer to dress everyday!! Pink from head to toe, complete with high heels and a Tiara. This picture was taken from her Princess Party. Our first official birthday party with her sweet little friends!! They had such a great time. The clubhouse was decorated in pink from head to toe, with some mint green thrown in there-we didn't want to scare her little boy friends away with all of the pink!!

She is very neat and organized, likes things in their place. Yesterday, I caught her sitting at her new little table. She had three babies. Each sitting on their own chair, and she had the "head" chair. She was saying, "now you need to listen to your parents....."

Yesterday she created her own wedding invitation, complete with sequin decor. In case you didn't already know, she has her wedding scheduled for June 19th of next year. Although when you ask her, she says she has to be 25 or 30 to get married, then she can have a baby. Apparently, her best friend Nathan has already proposed in Sunday School. He is such a sweet friend, but I told her not for another 30 years or so!! Plenty of time to plan AND save.

And by the way, she still is interested in being a pilot-a "helicopter" pilot. It will be excited to see what God has planned as she has many interested. She is very compassionate and likes doctoring us all up with her pink bandaids. Even Daddy has been known to wear pink bandaids every know and then!

New sweet sayings and doings by Major Maddox

Major Maddox will soon be 17 months this Friday the 20th of August!! WOW, that means next month he'll be 1 1/2. How time flies!! He is learning many new words and I wanted to post these as this blog is a type of diary. It is exciting to look back and see what they were doing and interested in at certain times of their sweet lives.

Besides saying, "Mama, Dadda, Babba, ba-bye, nigh, night," and a form of "Hydee"-our Golden Retriever he has now started adding other words to his vocabulary. He LOVES watching and listening to the music from Veggie Tales. Grandma recently bought him Bob the Tomato and Berkley, Larry the Cucumber. He can very clearly say, "Bob," his new little buddy. He is always working on saying "up" and "all done."

Some of his favorite "doings" are: being outside (he's prefer this 100% of the time), throwing any and all kinds of balls, chasing sister around the house, dancing around in circles, and giving kisses. He loves water both in the tub and swimming pool. In fact, when my two little ones wake up from their naps we just may need to take a trip to the pool!! He likes to jump in from the side, just like his sis and even puts his face in and blows bubbles. He's a bundle of energy! WHEW!
