Sarah, exhausted from our trip to Atlanta. She slept all the way home from Columbia

Day game on Saturday

Aunt Naomi and Uncle Stephen keeping Sarah cool

Maddy was soooo tired from our trip. She slept the whole way home from Columbia as well. She had drool going and everything!

We went with Joseph's family to Atlanta to see the Red Sox play the Braves... (Normally we go to see the CUBS play the Braves) Since Joseph's team wasn't there Maddy was allowed to wave the Tomahawk and cheer with the other Braves fans. She had a blast! She might not be aware yet, but she is being conditioned to be a CUBS fan.
We caught a Friday night game and a Saturday afternoon game. It was so incredibly hot both days, so we got some little fans from Walmart that sprayed mist to keep the girls cool. Maddy was more interested in them than the game...

Wasn't it nice of us to block everyone's view of the field to take this picture?! I promise we waited until the inning was over before we took it.

Uncle Ryan was blowing the fan at Sarah and then he'd spray water in her face. She gasped every time, but I think she liked it! At least she never cried...

Sarah was not interested at all in the game.... of course I don't think she can see that far yet so Granddaddy's face was her entertainment. She had a good time.

Sarah and Cousin Michelle
Whats Buzzin' Cousin??? I had such a good time when Michelle came!

Sarah managed to get a bit of a sunburn on the beach, even though she was NEVER in the sun!!!

Maddy was so excited to have her cousin come see her. She kept saying "Michelle is mommy's cousin and Addison is Maddy's cousin."

We spent a day on the beach... the people set up next to us dug a huge hole and when they left Maddy took it over.... She is standing, and Joshua is sitting next to her!
Maddy watering her hole... hoping it will grow...

Sarah's idea of a good time at the beach.

Cousin Michelle came for a visit the last two weeks in June. We had a blast, and Maddy keeps asking when she is going to come home

My Uncle Allen and Sarah, Allen came down for my great grandmothers funeral. He and his wife Karolyn loved taking care of Sarah

Happy Father's day! Maddy and Sarah put their hand prints all around a picture frame and gave Joseph this picture for Father's Day.
Sarah relaxing at the pool

Maddy's new favorite thing to do...put on Sarah's bibs, socks, hats, and any other piece of clothing she can get her hands on! She likes to dress daddy up too!

I never thought Maddy would have enough hair to do this... she's had next to no hair for soooo long!

Every time I put Sarah in the bumbo Maddy sits next to her and says "Mommy take a picture of me and Sarah!"

Pops and Sarah taking a nap on Mothers Day.

Sarah had a horrible combination of cradle cap, baby acne and heat rash... her face was so red! A friend of mine told me to put Flanders Buttocks ointment on it, and I did, and it actually worked! By monday her face had cleared up and she looked normal!
Pops and the grangirls.... being entertained by one of Pops original songs. He was singing or humming something, but it doesn' t look like they are very impressed!!


Maddy wanted to hold the rose I got at church on Mother's Day, but before she took it she asked "Mommy, are there any ouchies on it?"

5 Generations!! We have my great grandmother Azile, my grandmother Brenda, my mom Cheryl, me (Shawna) and my girls Maddy and Sarah. They are so lucky to have a great-great grandma!

The original nine....
We took a family picture the day Sarah was blessed, It is missing Andrew's wife Sarah and their four kids, plus Stefani and Phillip are expecting so little Cooper is missing.... however, If you look at Scott- he is holding "baby walmart" Its Maddy's baby that she named all by herself! So I guess we might never have a complete up to date picture...Too many people to get in one place at one time!

Our Family

Sarah with Grandmama and Granddaddy (Josephs Parents)

Sarah with Mamacheri and Pops, and Sarah is wearing the dress that I was blessed in!! It was a great day. Josephs brothers came down from Columbia- we didnt take pictures with them for some reason. It was a special day for a very special girl...
