Long time since I posted to my blog.

It has been a long time since I posted to my blog so I guess I better get things caught up.... but where to start.... well Madison turned 1 on May 10th, I can't believe she is already 1 and this girl does not walk anywhere, she runs. I can no more keep up with her than I can fly but Miss Madison is Pappy's girl for sure, when we go see them she starts squealing, yelling Pap Pap and begging for him to pick her up, she sees me and waves hi to me. I have tried to get that child to say GeeGee but it just is not happening, she won't even say G, but if I have a coke then she will come to me for a drink because she knows she is going to get one. She is quite the character. She calls Steven Daddy but she has started calling her mom Beth, I told Steven he is going to have to start referring to Beth as Mommy to get Madison to call her Mommy. Here is a picture of Madison at her birthday party.



We have gone fishing a few times so far this year, Chelsea always wants to go so she is always with us at the lake, we have taken her friends with us also, these girls are to funny, the first time we took Maria she wouldn't take her fish off the hook but now she is an old pro at it. Here is Maria with her first fish of the day.



The next time we went we took Maria and Mindy with Chelsea, Mindy would not bait her hook, she would not touch the fish and she sure wasn't going to take her fish off the hook but by the end of the day she was doing it all and having a good time doing it. Here is a picture of Mindy with her first fish.



Here is a nice picture of all 3 girls, it is great seeing them all together, Doug and I are both very fond of Maria and Mindy and of course we love our Chelbug.



Let's see, what else has happened this summer, I fell down the stairs at home and sprained my knee but have since found out it is not just a sprain but it is livable with. Chelsea fell off the steps at her mother's house and sprained her ankle pretty darn good, it looked real pretty in living color,

this particular picture was taken 2 days after the fall. Mindy helped Chelsea up and then she called Doug to let him know that Chelsea was hurt and they were trying to make their way to the fire station, Doug of course told them to stay put and he would come get them. He brought them home and Chelsea was hurting pretty badly so we propped her up on the sofa with pillows, put her leg and foot up higher than her heart to help with the swelling and we iced her ankle, she didn't much care for that part but she was a good girl and kept the ice on when we told her it was time. So she laid on the sofa, everyone waiting on her like the princess she is.
