I have been lookin around at all the furniture stores in town tryin to find some new furniture that was affordable. When Nat and I were engaged, a couple we knew had offered us their furniture for a fantastic price. It was a huge blessing to us!! As you may know, getting married and trying to get a house together can be expensive! We have thoroughly enjoyed, and worn out those couches!! So on Friday, I went out with the girls to look at some furniture and kinda get an idea about what we wanted. When Nat got off, we headed out to a furniture store called Mattress America because we had been told that they were having a going out of business sale.. and boy were they. If you are looking for furniture seriously go check out what they got. We got our couches for $1100, originally $3200. They are nice, quality couches that will last us forever!!
This guy can back a trailer like nobodies business! It amazes me. Anyways.. that is beside the point... Got our new couches loaded. The owner guy was thrilled to pieces when we pulled up with a trailer.
Of course.. had to get a picture of the little ladies.
I am not a huge fan of leather... but the guy sold it when he reminded me of my small children and the messes that they make. I have already had so many --Thank you Lord that we bought leather couches... cuz if that would have happened on new, not leather furniture.. I would be soooooooo mad!!!!!!!!!- moments. So it is definitely growing me... another thing that I am not so much liking is the couch on the red wall!! I have a feeling we will end up re-painting it!! What do yall think??
We dyed eggs with the cousins, which turned out to be quite an event! We had alot of fun... although kinsey and I did most of the dying.... I read in a magazine an idea for small children to use a wire whisk. Just put the egg in there and let 'em go to town. Madelynn had alot of fun. We made lots of great memories that night!
This was after Jedd pulled off the blue... of all colors the darkest, deepest of them all, dye off the table!
and I can't help but to think this is adorable! Daddy's big 'ol t-shirt eatin a corn dog.
Saturday morning the girls and I went up to the nursing home where granny lives for an easter egg hunt for the kids. Madelynn woke up quite the little grouch.. but with the help from some balloons and a cookie, she lightened up and we had a great time hunting eggs! She is a pro!
Granny and Payton waitin for the kiddos to come hunt for eggs.
Granny looked so cute with her flower headband. Very springy!
Go Madelynn go!!
of course, she had to open the egg and see what was in it... and at times try to eat it before it went in the basket.
Pretty little girl. She loved playin with eggs.
Sometimes I look at these girls and I cannot believe that they are MINE! Ultimately, they belong to God... but for our time being... they are totally and completely my (and Nat of course) responsibility... and what an adorable gift they are!
Saturday afternooon, we met up with some good friends and went on a picnic and a canoe ride. It was the absolute perftect day to go on a picnic. We never even hit the park and Madelynn had the time of her life!! She ran and ran all over the place... and went on her first canoe ride which she loved! It was such a nice, fun day. Definitely gonna be doin that alot this summer!!!
Madelynn checkin out the water.
lunch time! Madelynn was in the middle of the blanket and kinda made her rounds and had her own little buffet lunch.
Nat would throw the Frisbee and Madelynn would run after it. She loved it.
Payton chillin on the blanket.
Grant and Madelynn
Canoe ride. Don't worry, she is not burned... just a little white girl who has been in the sun.
And last but not least, on Sunday, we celebrated Easter with our family. Can't beat having an awesome family and the time spent with them. Of course... as always, we wanted to take some pictures Sunday morning... but Madelynn wouldn't have it. Not sure what her deal is lately... every time I get my camera out and want to get a picture of her and Payton she goes ballistic! So this is what we got. I told her we were takin pictures even if she was crying in all of them. More memories I guess.
We can't ever get her to smile in pictures!
Isnt she lovely?? When I asked her to look at me so I could take her picture, this is what I got.
Best I could do.
me and my girls
daddy and his little ladies.
I did eventually get them together at church.
Our lovely growing family!
Egg hunt #2.
takin a break to put her feet in the pool. I have a feeling she is going to be quite the little fish this summer.
Payton and her special egg she found in Pa Pa's pocket.
precious picture. Madelynn and her best bud. (Micaela)
Cash and Madelynn by the pool. These 2 are becoming quite the pair!
Yesterday, after buying me new furniture, a new bedspread, and tons of other little things.... Nat surprised me with an Ipod touch!! I was so excited. He is such a sweet guy. My sisters got them for Christmas and I have wanted one ever since. I, still being stuck in the "dark ages" with my flip phone, no music playing devices, nothing touch screen... didn't think that I would ever need.. or much less get one. I have yet to sit down and play with it because I have been playing catch up all day with laundry, dishes, vacuuming, and going through and putting up the girls' winter clothes... and of course blogging... which as you can tell obviously needed some catching up. Now that I am done... I got a date with my Ipod.
The girls look so cute in their Easter dresses!
ReplyDeleteWhere did you find Maddelynn's shoes? Julia had some just like that last summer and I LOVED them...wish she could have them again this summer. Any chance you got them here in town?
