Summer time!

Once i finished school on May 28, we headed to The Woodlands for the long weekend. It was Nana's birthday and Meredith graduated from high school plus all the family was in town so it was a perfect time to get away. The weekend was fun and we stayed through the week too for our 5 year anniversary and why go home when you can stay at Nana & Papa's house with a nice pool and plenty of shopping too. Mom and I shopped for Cadence's nursery and we found fabric to make her beautiful curtains and my bedding came in too! I was so excited and i will post pictures soon when i can upload them. It is BEAUTIFUL AND EXACTLY WHAT I WANTED! I am so happy with my choices. So, take a glimpse into our fun weekend and week at home.

Nana's Birthday Supper

Make a wish Nana.....

Well, this is a special picture because it is the family watching while Rae tries on her wedding dress so that is why its special. I am not posting any pics of any more wedding stuff but i loved this picture of everyone looking excitedly!!!

Maddie loves to have tea at nana's house with her real tea set she got from Nana for her 3rd birthday. She made Gmaw some tea and said, "cheers." So cute!

Gmaw gave Maddie this bag, hat, and sunglasses for her birthday and we dressed her all up. She looks so cute and big. Ready for the pool....:)

Jack and Hannah gave Maddie this fun watergun so Nana & Maddie were trying it out on Jack in the pool. I think the adults had more fun with this water gun than Maddie.

Oh goodness...here i am sporting the baby bump at 7 months along! Cadence does love to swim but i am not sure i like being in a swimsuit but oh well. She wins this battle.

The family is hanging out in the pool and trying to encourage Maddie to jump in!

Maddie & Aunt Penny during the volleyball game.

They played a very entertaining game of volleyball. Rae was playing but took a break to get a drink while the ball hit the water, haha...just pickin' Aunt Rae Rae.

4 Generations on the Wilson Side of the Family, forgive our appearances since we were in the pool all day and didn't fix up.

Our 5 year Anniversary Celebration Day! We went to Hotel ZaZa in Houston for the night and had supper together. It was very fun and romantic to get away thanks to Nana for keeping Maddie. We exchanged gifts that day too since we were celebrating early.

Can you guess what Les got for our anniversary?? I received a beautiful diamond necklace called, The Knot. I love it and wear it everyday!

Nana & I took Maddie to the dancin' water to play while the guys golfed. It was hot but she had fun chasing the water around.

It was a great vacation away and when we returned home, we got to meet Baby Izzy at the hospital then headed to Great Wolf Lodge on Tuesday so keep catching for those pictures too.

Baby Olympics

Maddie finished her first year of babynastics with the mini olympics! They had all the babynastics kids come today for their turn and all the parents were there to snap pictures of their child. It was so fun and she did such a great job participating and "showing off" all her new tricks. I can't believe how big she is now and how fast this first year went and starting June 7 she will move up to the k-1 class in which she goes by herself and we sit and watch. Wow...is she really that big already? Aw....enjoy the baby olympics pictures!!

Maddie's Early Birthday Party

Maddie had an early birthday celebration because we had Mimi, Aunt Kristi, Chloe, Nana & Papa in town for the George Strait concert in which the band opened amongst Lee Ann Womack and Reba. It was so fun but anyways, we did her birthday party on Sunday at J&R Gymnastics with her friends from school and the neighborhood. Maddie got an early birthday present from Mimi and Opa! She got this new big girl bike with a matching helmet. :) She was so excited to ride it when Daddy got home on Sunday so here she is in her nightgown riding her bike in the kitchen of course since we have tile/ stained concrete throughout the main areas of our house. So why not ride your bike inside?? Thank you Mimi and Opa for the new big girl bike!!

Before her party, we surprised Maddie with her present from Les and Me.......check it out!!!
A new big girl jeep to ride around the street or backyard with her friends or babydolls.

I told Kristi, this is a small glimpse into the future of our girls....Chloe driving Maddie around. How fun to have a girl cousin to hang out with. ;)
Now, we moved onto the party at J&R where we decorated her room upstairs and waited for all the friends to arrive! Here is Nana, Papa and Maddie!
Mommy and Daddy with the Birthday girl!

I love this picture.....;) They are checking out the big gym before we head down to play!

Maddie with some of her friends....waiting to go play!

Aw...a goodbye hug from Mimi.

The Girl Cousins

This is almost the whole birthday group minus Chloe who had to leave early. :(

THank you for checking out her birthday party pictures and we can't believe that our little girl is almost 3 years old. Not sure where the time went but wow, we are so blessed to have such a wonderful daughter! She will be a great big sister when Cadence is born. Hope you enjoyed the party pics!
