I love this layout that I did. Madison looks so cute. Oh...she wanted to take model shots tonight so I put up a white sheet to use as a backdrop. I was sooo bummed out because all the photos turned out blurry so I had to improvise and use some different settings to make them useable. Guess I am not using them for anything other than my blog, but this is better than showing you a whole bunch of blurry objects.



Is she a model or what? I finally had to put away her fashion show thingie that Nana bought her because it was just sitting in our living room for about 2 months and all her toys started piling around it. I'll put it back up for her one of these days. She has fun with it.
Oh...HAPPY BIRTHDAY GRANDMA GRACIE! When you wake up you will be reading this! I hope you have a great birthday today!
Happy Birthday to you,
Happy Birthday to you,
Happy Birthday dear grandma gracie...
Happy Birthday to you!
I am actually going with grandma gracie tomorrow to a play thing called the Eagles Nest in New Brighton. I'll bring Madison and then she'll bring Kayla and Hayile. Oh my gosh...am I spelling Haylie's name right even? Is it Haylee? I can't remember. How wierd that I can't remember! Haylie or Haylee or Hailey? Now I am really confusing myself. I think it's Hailey. I should call up Kim and ask her how to spell it. I'll just ask my mom tomorrow. Anyways, the whole point of the story I was just telling is that we are going to go to the indoor playground thingie! It should be fun. I love those parks. It's just a lot easier when her cousins go with because then I don't need to worry about going through all the tunnel stuff. I actually am chlosterphobic so I can't go through all the stuff and Steve usually needs to do it.
Well, Madison is going to put on a show for us in the middle of the living room right now so I gotta go.
Happy Birthday Mommy!

Hee hee, look at Madison having a meltdown on her trike. It was so funny. She was really tired and of course that's when she spazes out. She couldn't turn her wheel or something and she went into meltdown mode. I shouldn't laugh but it was funny.
Yesterday was really fun. We went walking around Lake hyland. I kept complaining that we were stopping too much and my heart rate was going down. But I got a couple cute shots in! Here's Maddie standing at the bridge. I had a scary dream last night that she fell into this river/pond. Very scary. I still feel shaken up about it and it was only a dream.
There's the pretty waterfall. I always think this is such a hidden paradise right in Bloomington. Looks like we are on vacation or something. This is the 2nd time we stopped and I had to get in a little more complaining. Couldn't help it...I NEEDED to get my walk in. To go around the lake is 1.9 miles. That's a whole mile short of what I am use to walking so I couldn't afford for my heart rate to slow down. But I got a few pictures in again so it was worth it. None of the other photos turned out.
Then at 2:00 we went to the jazz festival. It was pretty fun. Madison found a little friend right away and they would run up on stage and dance a little. Steve and I just sat back and watched.
Here we are, the lovely couple.
Not up to too much today. I decided that I am going to go back to Hyland park and get my walk in today. Except I'll go around the lake 2 times to make up for yesterday. Fun stuff. It's pretty nice out. I am trying to keep up my tan so the longer I stay outside the better. Got some errands I have to run also and that's about it. I will try to clean. I said TRY. That's about my whole day! Boring, huh?
