Can She Get Any Cuter??

Oh how I love my little girl!!! She is so much fun to watch learn and grow. She can always make my day no matter what. The day she was born, I didn't think I could possibly love her any more. However, I have learned that that isn't true. Everyday my love for her grows immensely in some way. I have decided that you don't truly understand how much your mum loves you - till you have a little one of your own!!!

Lately Madilyn has discovered so many fun & new things. She loves to be goofy and make us laugh. She has learned the things that she can do to make us laugh. It is so cute!!! And if we don't notice what she is trying to do, she will start fake laughing. CHEEKY LITTLE GIRL.....

MADILYN I LOVE:
  • your dimples
  • your smile
  • how you point at everything & get so excited
  • how you "moo" like a cow
  • your eskimo kisses
  • how your not scared to try anything
  • your cheeky little personality
  • how you ADORE your blankie
  • your giggle
  • that you get excited every time your daddy comes home
  • how you whistle, and click your tongue
  • watching you play PEEK-A-BOO with your blankie
  • your big slobbery kisses
  • how you stick your tongue out to be cheeky (just as Grandma taught you!!! :D
  • how you come crawling full tilt to the bathroom and stand up to the tub, when you hear the water running for your bath
  • to watch you wiggle and dance to the music
  • how you love to share your soggy cookies with me- YUM
  • how you talk on your phone
  • how you sit and flip through book after book, one page at a time
  • your cuddles at bedtime
  • to watch you sleep
I LOVE EVERYTHING ABOUT MY LITTLE GIRL - SHE IS TRULY MY LITTLE ANGEL!!!!

So I thoroughly enjoyed this weekend. Nothing too exciting happened at all. But it was just a good time together with my little family. Which I love. It went something like this......

Friday Night
  • Dinner & Movie with my hunny: we made homemade pizza and watched a movie. Always a good time.
Saturday
  • It all started with Madilyn sleeping in. (YIPEE - what a great start to a weekend!!)
  • Then for breakfast Mikey made us pancakes - FROM SCRATCH!!!! Which I have to admit I was extremely surprised. AND.....they were so yummy. Madilyn and I are spoiled!!
  • Then we got all bundled up and went outside to play in the snow!!! For a short bit, cause it was pretty stinkin' cold. It was so cute to see Madilyn all bundled up in her snow gear. However, she wasn't too sure about the snow pants.
  • Then we got ready and went to town. We met up with Mum, Dad, and Marky for lunch. Then went on to do some shopping.
Sunday was just a relaxing day!! Afternoon nap, and a visit to Grandma & Grandpa's!!! GOTTA LOVE IT....

OH HOW I LOVE WEEKENDS WITH MY HUBBY & MY LIL GIRL!!!!!

"Walking in a Winter Wonderland....."

So this weekend we were officially SNOWED IN!!!! Friday afternoon it started to snow, and it kept snowing and snowing. Needless to say by Saturday morning, we were completely snowed in!!! There was NO way we were going to be going anywhere, or anytime soon!!! So what do you do on Snow Days?? Well here are a few things of what we did on our Snow Days.....

#1: We watched the snow fall. Madilyn thoroughly enjoyed standing in the living room window, and watching the snow fall.





#2: We drank too much hot chocolate!!!


#3: We got into the Christmas oranges.



#4: We ate too many sweets.

(Thanks Jaycie & Carmen!!!)

#5: We got a little stir crazy. So while Madilyn was napping, Mikey and I went outside for a Snow Race through the enormous snow drifts in the yard. AUSSIE vs. CANADIAN style!!!! It was the most entertaining, fun thing I have done in a long time. Mikey got all geared up at the starting line, and off he went. Running full tilt through the knee high snow drifts, across the yard. I stood there "timing him", in complete awe as I watched my Aussie plow through the snow!!! I then realized that this idea maybe wasn't so great after all!!! I totally thought that I, being The Canadian, would be able to out beat The Aussie fair and square. Needless to say, I lost - hard core. I literally got stuck in the hugest snow drift out by the highway. It was up to my waist - no lie!!!! However, I have come up with the conclusion of why I lost. And it is either A. I am WAY too outta shape, or B. Mikey has WAY too much excitement in him!!!! Anyways, it was definitely a good time!!!

#6: We made the best gingerbread house ever!!!





#7: We watched out the window as my wonderful father came to plow us out!!! What a life saver.


And the funniest part of our Snow Days, was:
#8: Mikey COMPLETELY covering his car with snow!!!! lol. It was just a minor misunderstanding. Haha. It goes something like this....
While my dad was over plowing us out, he mention that we should keep the snow around Mikey's car, so that it would help keep it insulated. Which would make his car more likely to start when he needs to go to work. So anyways, Mikey had gone outside for quite some time. And he later came in with the proudest look on his face. And I was like, "Umm...what have you been up to?" And he's like, "oh I just put snow on my car to insulate it!!"
Me: "Oh good thinkin."
Mikey: "You should go take a look."
Me: "Oh, Ok!!"

Me: "BAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA.....is that a joke Mikey!?!?!"
Mikey: "Umm....no. Why??" (with the most worried look on his face.)
Me: "I am thinking that is not exactly what my dad had in mind. But who knows."

Long story short, this is what I saw when I looked outside. POOR AUSSIE.......
(And YES, Mikey's car is somewhere under this enormous mound of snow!!)
However, I will have you know that it was a great idea after all. It insulated his car very well. And it started right up - that is once he found his car again!!! Even with a temperature of -50 with the wind chill.

Oh, how I love my Mikey....
