Babyland

Like how I'm just jumping back into blogging like I never stopped?  Yeah.   Me too...

My Mom has been planning this trip to Babyland, USA since I was 16 weeks pregnant and we found out I was having a girl.  It was a tradition for our Nanna to take us kids, and Mom (Madelyn's Nanna) wanted to carry that tradition on.  So last week, we took an adventurous trip with a two year old to place filled with baby dolls.  The whole thing is set up like a hospital with nursery's and babies everywhere!

You can tell from this picture just how distracted she was by everything going on!  You haven't lived until you've chased a 2 year old through a giant sized Doll store!

Just chilling with her girls!  Do you see the puff of curls on that one on the right? Squeee!!!


Mother cabbage giving birth to a new baby!
After being completely overwhelmed, picking out one baby and all associated accessories, she decided she wanted a different baby.  It was a really sweet selection process, she had to hug and kiss each one before saying "too big" or "no".  At the end of the time, she settled on a brown haired, blue eyed cutie.

We took her into an adoption room so that we could get Madelyn to focus on a name and settled on Mikayla Alice.  She calls her Alice.

All that shopping makes a girl thirsty!
Feeding Alice lunch of "mac cheese, beans, and tern" (corn)
Playing "where's Alice?"  A game she has played with her Grandaddy since she could sit up.
Of course Alice had to go shopping with us, because what's a road trip with Nanna without some shopping?

Overall we had a great time, by the end of our trip we were all three tired and silly.

I can't wait to do it again when she's a little older and can really understand what it is all about, and is a little less distracted by everything else.

It looks like you all had an amazing day! You know, just when I think Madelyn couldn't get any cuter, she proves me wrong. And the thought of hugging every one before deciding? Too cute!!!

All Dressed Up!

It's All Dressed Up Wednesday with No Model Lady It's just a fun day for us to get dressed up and share it with the internets.  Today I did a little casual outfit that I've been thinking about for a while.  It's not super creative, but I LOVE this shirt and scarf combo.  Feeling pensive in the backyard. Feeling like a picture with heels sinking in the grass! This outfit was really all about the shoes.  Because it's always all about the shoes. This is how silly I felt posing in my backyard with a mirror propped against our glider bench. Shirt and scarf combo: Kohls Jeans: Levis skinny Shoes: Macy's clearance Earrings: Charlotte Russe Bracelet: a gift from my lovely Denise Did you play?  Wanna Play?  Head over to No Model Lady and link up!

Where to start?

This is a welcome home sign that somebody put up on base. I'm sure the Marine recognizes himself in the picture as do all the Marines that know him. There is just so much wrong that I don't know where to start. Is this sign from a jealous girlfriend and wifey's on the bed of a pick-up truck on her way to Mexico to be sold into slavery? Is this sign from his brother who took "care" of wifey while he was deployed? Is this just a sign from the wifey who likes to advertise that she is lazy and fat and probably has cracker crumbs and bugs in the bed because this sign has been up for several weeks. I won't even get started on "the ice", like there's only one ice? I bet it melted really quick. Maybe it's on the ice in Alaska? Or on the ice on the boat that she bought with deployment money and is sailing around on with the brother? OK, it's making my brain hurt because it doesn't rhyme or flow. It's just a bunch of statements on ...
