LOVE

In my devotions this morning I read this Life Lesson in my study Bible. "God loves you more than any mother has ever loved her own son or daughter, everything he does in your life he does out of love and for loves sake.He allows even the hard times for your benefit. "

This was such a nice reminder for me this morning. Sometimes I forget just how much the Lord loves me. Its hard to comprehend how vast his LOVE is. I love my husband and Maddie so much, yet the Lord loves me so much more than that! This is so awesome, and I wanted to share this reminder with you. IF you are going through a hard time right now, remember the Lord loves you and he is using the trial to grow you into a deeper relationship with him.

SONNY ACRES!!

We had such a blast at Sonny Acres! Such a great place to bring kids and Maddie just loved it! She was going crazy over all the pumpkins and went around to each ones and would kiss them. So funny! We also went on a hay ride, and she loved playing in the maze. SHE HAD A BLAST!!!Here are some photos:
















what better way to end the trip than with dinner at Portillos!:o)

As you can tell by the pictures, she had a blast! Maddie is at such a fun age! She says something new everyday, and points to everything and says, "what's that?" what's that?" "what's that?" She is a little sponge and she loves to learn. She says please if she wants something, and thank you after you give it to her. She is such a sweetheart and I love watching her grow and learn new things. I feel so blessed being the Mother of Maddie. I am Thankful for each day with her, and every day just gets better and better!

Well, It's time to go get Maddie out of her crib. I think I just heard her say "Mama" That's my cue! :o)

Little Update

I have been so bad about blogging. Life has been hectic and I find it hard to sit down and write when I do have time! I am actually having surgery tomorrow to fix my deviated septum and terbinates. I have been feeling pretty miserable every day with terrible headaches and pressure since April. I am hopeful that this will fix the problem and I will be on a road to feeling better. I have a busy toddler to take care of, so I need to get back to feeling myself again. I will be recovering the whole weekend, so I hope to post an update with some pictures of Maddie and what she has been up to lately. She is BUSY, BUSY, BUSY, and doing amazing!

Have a good rest of your week!

A Glimpse of the weekend

We have had such a great weekend so far. My mom came to visit on Friday and we went to lunch and spent some nice time together. That evening we had a bonfire with all the neighbors and made smores. Maddie was up late, which she enjoyed a lot, and also had her first smore! Saturday morning we headed to the Brookfield zoo. We all had a blast! Maddie saw all different kinds of animals, but I think her favorites were the goats which she called "doats" and the hippo which she called "hippie" Here are some pictures of the weekend.




Loving the Brookfield Zoo
The Dolphin show was so much fun and Maddie loved it!
The Cousino's came for dinner saturday evening and Maddie and Connor enjoyed the wagon and cozy coupe.

Dressed, and ready for church.

Hope you are all having a fabulous weeekend!
