Pool days of summer

This was the first time at Malcolms pool. Maddie was not too sure..and the water was freezing!! She only wanted Mommy in the pool, sorry Daddy!

At Lynne's for Jaquelyn's Graduation Party in June

Road trip to OH with Mary Beth and Tori!

I have been having technical difficulties this summer. My camera has been acting up and my lap top, which I am addicted to, is even worse. So, I am very behind on my blog! I want to back track to the beginning of summer so I can catch up to date!
Mary Beth and I had an impromptu trip to Ohio in May. We decided to go and were in the car 3 hours later driving North East! Maddie and Tori were very cute in the car, they watched movies, danced to music, and held hands. We stopped at Wendys for a late dinner and they got all their energy out yelling across the restaurant and jumping in the booths! These are a few pics from Geneva on the lake, Geneva OH home of Shaun, Lindsay and their 3 girls!

Cute cousin shot in front of the merry go round! Maddie was scared of riding by herself, so I sat with her on one of the seats

Maddie's first baseball game

I love this picture, I caught her before she did her squint!

Aunt AA tickling Maddie, Maddie loves tickles!
All the Purdums and Masters went to a Baysox game to celebrate Camdens11th birthday! It was fun for a short time! Maddie had fun with her cousins, and liked dancing to the music, and she would clap when everyone else would! Once we moved to general admission seats, where we were on the bleachers, the fun ended (: She discovered she could crawl through the bleachers and wouldn't stay in our row! It was a nice evening with the family!

Beach day

I have a lot to back track on, but I'm going to post some current pictures first. We took our first trip to the beach last week. It was a beautiful day, perfect beach weather! We stopped at Fractured Prune (they have the most delicious donuts!) and then straight to the beach.
Maddie was so funny. She was unsure about her feet touching the sand, so we got her comfortable on the towel and she played in the sand from there. She loved it! She played there for 2 hours! She was a little afraid of the waves so we didn't push it, and she did not want to walk on the sand. We had a very nice time and can't wait to go to Ocean City in a couple weeks!

Easter 2010

Maddie and Sadie showing their finds!












Easter this year was so much fun. It was a beautiful weekend and Maddie had a great time. I was really surprised how well she did with her cousins at the Easter egg Hunt! She picked up the idea so quick and had a ball collecting eggs. She sat down with her finds and started opening the eggs one by one, jelly beans were flying everywhere! She popped one in not knowing what to expect and loved it! She enjoyed going through her basket in the morning and loved the little toys she found in it. Daddy got her a balloon too.

Maddie LOVES....

the Park!! When it's nice we play outside all day! She loves the playground and her FAVORITE thing is the swing. She swings out back, out front, and when we go to other parks. She stays on the swing for a long time, and usually doesn't want to get down. She cries if she see's other kids on it because she thinks she owns every swing out there! When she isn't swinging she is fearless on the play equipment and slides! She can climb her little self up the ladder herself now, I'm amazed!We went to Watkins Park in Upper Marlboro with Aunt Leigh Ann (Happy Birthday!). Maddie loves to see Mason and loves to play with Kat!
