4th of July weekend...

We went back home for the 4th of July to introduce Madelyn to our family. We were gone for 10 days so needless to say we were exhausted by the time we got home.

The ride down went ok. No one told me about how hard car rides are! We left here at 11 and got to my moms after 5. The drive usually takes 4.5 hours. Lots of crying was done! I would have never known Maddie didn't like her car seat! We stopped in Russellville to eat lunch at feed Maddie and grabbed lunch at Whattaburger. This was our treat since we both lost 10 pounds in June! I got a milkshake that I couldn't finish! I was surprised but happy:)

This was on Friday just after we arrived at my moms. This is my nephew Fallan, he's 10 months old. He's such a sweetie! If Madelyn cried he would sympathy cry with her, it was the cutest thing! He was so sweet and would pet Maddie.

This is my Granny meeting Madelyn for the first time.

Friday night my mom watched Maddie so we could have a date night. We had a BLAST!

We started the evening off at the Apple Store getting my phone fixed. After getting a brand new phone, I was synching my phone with my computer and William surprised me with a iPad2 for my Birthday!

After that fun trip we headed to Corky's to enjoy some Yummy Memphis BBQ! After dinner we headed to play Putt Putt and I won, well after 2 do overs! But I still won:)

Saturday we just rested and hung out at my moms all day. Everyone was sleeping in except for Maddie, me and my mom. We hung out in the living room playing.

Around 11 Maddie was ready for her morning nap so I laid her down and got a shower while my mom cooked breakfast. She made bacon, sausage, eggs and crescent rolls. Yum! Everyone got up while breakfast was cooking, I guess the smell of food woke them up, ha!

My Granny and Papow came by to see Maddie and visit for a while.

We spent most of the afternoon visiting and playing! My baby brother, Jesse just finished a tour in Afghanistan and was home a leave, so we got to visit with him.

Love him dearly for all he does!

Fallen and I played while Maddie napped.

William grilled some of the best angus burgers I've ever had for dinner!

Sunday morning we got up early, got dressed and packed the car up and headed to Brinkley. My grandmother met us there and then rose with us to Tucker to visit my dad in prison. I love my Daddy lots and it was such a joy to take Madelyn to meet him.

Here they are...

Maddie with my grandma.

After we left the prison we headed to Papaw Bills house in Mississippi. When we arrived Maddie was screaming so Papaw took her and played with her while we unpacked the car and got her bed setup and I ran her bath water.

After we got Maddie to bed we had a nice homemade meal. Fried Okra, cornbread, corn on the cob, cucumbers, tomatoes, green beans and potatoes, butter beans...YUM!

Stay tuned, I will post more soon!
