Spotlight on Madysan Blayke

Born July 20,2009 looking just like her daddy and bringing so much joy into our lives, our sweet first born was here! Her given name is Madysan but also goes by "Mady Blayke" or "Mady."
She is full of energy, full of life and knows what she wants! She loves all things girl but is a rough & tough little lady who doesn't mind dirt and could live outside. She is a daddy's girl but has a sweetness for her momma too. She enjoys being a big sister, loves to color, loves to play dress-up, enjoys playing on her new swing set, and has a love for gymnastics. She has been an amazing person to watch grow and Josh & I feel blessed beyond words to be a part of her life!

This post is to spotlight her!! We asked her 20 questions and these are her sweet little innocent responses:

The last answer made me laugh and tear up! I hope to do this every year and see how answers change.
The last thing I want to share is a prayer she prayed recently:
"Thank you for Jesus, Daddy ,Duley (our dog), my animals, my dress-up clothes, Meeps & Peeps, my birthday, my baby kitty, Gangie, Juby, bubba Hiney (my nephew Haiden), Duley (again), Bessie Bell (our Great Dane we gave away), Bessie Bell new home, ReeRee & Poppa."

Oh how I love these sweet prayers!

(Spotlight on baby sister Ashlan coming soon!)

Picture Time!

Just photos to share!

Laneybugs!

I have started my own small business from home! It is a ton of fun and gets my creative juices flowing! It's called Laneybugs and is a vinyl business. I can put customized letters on almost anything! Below are some photos of some of my work!

It's craft time again!

Oh how I love crafts! Especially those that involve my little girls! This was one that I had planned for November but just now got around to doing it. So it's a "fall craft" in December but oh we'll! ;)
Ashlan was napping so it was just me & Mady Blayke on this one. She absolutely looooves to paint so this was great for her. She did an awesome job painting the leaves and help me press them on the construction paper.
Next came the glitter....my favorite part (yes, I'm still a big kid at heart). We sprinkled gold glitter over the paint, MB had a tad bit more glitter on her side (and when I say "a tad" I mean an enormous amount! Lol) But she is a typical girl so she thinks like me, glitter makes everything better! ;)

Choo Choo....All Aboard!

Josh and I feel it is very important for both of our kids to have one-on-one time with each parent from time to time. Last night was Mady Blayke's date night with her daddy! He took her on The Polar Express train ride!! They departed from Palestine, all in their pj's, and made a round trip stopping at "The North Pole." Josh sent me pictures while they were there and said it was amazing watching her little face light up with each new exciting thing. Santa came on board and handed out jingle bells and they also got to enjoy hot chocolate and a cookie. What a great night for my little girl and the special time she got to spend with her dad. Hearing her tell me each detail with such excitement was so incredibly sweet! I love the sweet innocence of a child!
Below are the pics he sent me while they enjoyed The Polar Express! :)
