Maddy got her first haircut!! I really didn't want to have it cut, After all, it has taken soooo long to grow! She is going on three and still doesn't have a whole lot of hair. She was looking as if she had rat tail so.... I let the AWSOME Mindee Barton cut her hair! One of these days I'm going to figure out how these pictures upload on here... they are in reverse order, SO you get to see the results, then the process, and then the before!!

I absolutely love her haircut too! She had fun with Mindee while it was being cut, and she kept saying "It doesn't hurt mom!"

Maddy being styled...

Here goes nothing!

THE BEFORE.... doesn't it look so much better cut??

Joseph loves to help out with the girls....It's a good thing I told him to take everything off before he started feeding her the carrots! I'm not sure if Sarah really got much to eat...She looks as if she is wearing most of what was in the jar!
Maddy wanted to watch a movie and Sarah wants to be doing whatever Maddy is doing, so I set them up on the floor to watch Peter Pan. They had a blast together but If I could do it all again I never would have shown Maddy that movie.... She wants to watch it over and over and over and over! I have never seen a movie so many times in my life! I thought her Finding Nemo phase was bad!

Sarah's cup was empty, but she was thrilled to have one anyway!

My cute almost matching girls! I got them ready for church and they were so darn cute I had to take their picture before we left.

Picture time!!! We took the girls to JC Penny for some pictures! Maddy is such a ham.... she wanted all the photographer's attention. We did Sarah first, and she was soooo jealous. Then we did the two of them together, and Maddy last. Of course when it was time for her solo picture she had had enough and wanted to go home. Figures... I still think we got some cute shots, but I think Aunt Naomi may be enlisted to take the girls pictures from now on!

I was sitting on the couch and when I looked down I saw the girls watching TV - sitting just like this... It is pretty much the cutest thing I have ever seen.
All ready to go to Grandmama's house! I was surprised that Sarah didn't mind wearing this hat. She just sat there looking all cute in her little seat.

These outfits were given to us at different times by different people... and I was so excited when I realized the girls could match! This is the first time they have ever dressed alike. ( and it won't be the last) I think I'm really going to like having two girls...

Sarah and Stephanie (Aunt Neenee) waiting for our BBQ Dinner to start.

We went to Mama and Papa's to shoot fireworks for the fourth of July. Maddy ended up in the house watching "Wow Wow Wubzy" and "Blues Clues" with daddy because she was terrified of the fireworks. Sarah joined them... It is August now and Maddy still asks us if there will be fireworks every time we go outside. Curse that memory of hers :)

We went to Georgetown for a BBQ lunch and boat ride with Josephs family
on July 4th. Maddy really enjoyed it, but she wanted to play in the water and was devastated when we wouldn't let her go in. You would think riding on a boat would be enough! I'm starting to realize that nothing you do is ever enough....

Maddy had a blast on the boat and would wave to the other people in their boats or on other docks

Boating on the 4th of July. Sarah stayed on the dock with Grandmama because she doesn't have a life jacket.

Sarah has taken a liking to this stuffed panda that Uncle Scott bought for Maddy. Luckily Maddy thinks that it is Sarah's panda or we would have a problem...

Maddy loves playing with her stuffed animals. She also loves playing with her sister. She recently discovered that she can do both at the same time!

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.
