I finally got crafty and made Madalyn a tutu so naturally I had to take some pictures with her wearing it:) These were taken in our backyard with the fabric for my curtains as a backdrop. I broke the lens for my nice camera so I had to use my little purple Nikon for these. They turned out well if I say so myself. Needless to say these pictures are all over my desk at work!! And yes, her hair is long!! People tell me that daily as if I don't already know:):)

Max was obviously our first baby but over the last 2 years Madalyn has taken over. She now calls him her dog and will correct you if you say otherwise. Her preschool is doing a project with the kids and their animals so I took these updated pics for Madalyn to have on her poster. I think she was the only one in the pictures that was actually kissing the dog on the mouth:) They love each other.

Well we finally made it to Sea World while Justin is doing some work in Kerrville for a few weeks. We had a great time with Justin's parents: Phillip, Shirley, John and Cindy. I am glad everyone got to experience Madalyn's first of many trips to Sea World.

This was when we got home. Madalyn now thinks she is a whale trainer and practices her tricks each day.

Justin and I have a tradition of having our photo with this Shamu when we go to Sea World. It only made sense to have Madalyn take part in this now:)

They were obviously amazed by the sea lion show!!!

Mommy and Madalyn starting off the day in style:)

Way back when we first found out we were going to be parents, Justin has always had dreams of having a little tennis player. Well last year Madalyn started watching tennis games with him but didn't really care that much. This year however, she has been sucked in to watching them and I think might even enjoy it a little. Here we were trying to get out the door to have lunch with Nana but Justin just had to watch another set and then another and you get you the idea. There is little Madalyn right next to him the whole time. Needless to say Roddick didn't win and now we leave it to Madalyn to win one for the American's just has soon as she can hold a tennis racket properly:)

We spent the 4th of July this year at home. Our neighbors came over for a BBQ and then off to see the fireworks. We went to Grapevine like we have the last couple of years. This was the first year we went without anyone else. It was nice since we haven't been able to spend a lot of time together due to Justin traveling. Next year we look forward to spending the holiday with our family and friends in Lubbock.
