Bobby Boucher would be so proud.....

A few days ago, we decided it would be a good time to go out and play on the splash pad for a little while. After a few minutes of hanging out, Madelyn decides that she was a little thirsty....so she walks over to one of the sprinklers and begins to drink. After quenching her thirst, she goes back to playing for a few minutes....then heads back over to the sprinkler. This goes on a few times. Crazy kid!!!

Below are a few pics of Madelyn hangin' out in the backyard....

Madelyn sitting in her lawn chair

Looking cool with her hat backwards....not sure who she learned that from?!?!

BTW, Aggie Football is less than 40 days away.....Whoop!

Madelyn and her "baby"

A few weeks ago, Madelyn took on the responsibility of taking care of her "baby". I had no idea that she would be so attached and would make sure it was taken almost everywhere she went. We had to buy a matching "baby" so that she could take care of it over at Bethany's parents house.

Below are a few pics we took of Madelyn and her new addition...

Eating...


Hanging out...


Climbing the ladder (you can tell Madelyn knows she shouldn't be on it)...


Sitting in the chair...


Taking a bath (Yes, it was fun trying to take it away from her after the bath was complete)...

Happy Birthday Bethany!

You've been around for 10,593 days (and 3,924 of those days hanging out with me for some reason).

About a month ago, your mom and I came up with a plan to surprise you on your birthday. It took a little bit of planning, but I have a little more free time nowadays (for those keeping score.....today is the 2 month anniversary). We thought it would be a good idea to have Madelyn wish you a happy birthday at work. Since Madelyn couldn't drive.....we decided that we would all hope in the truck.

A little background...ever since I've known Bethany, I've tried to give her a few "surprises" from time-to-time. Sending random cards on "unique" holidays, delivering broccoli-cheese soup and cheesecake on her window seal at her dorm while she was studying, delivering flowers for no reason.....you get the picture.

Below are a few pics of the visit....



Madelyn heading to the clinic for the "appointment"


Madelyn studing the "Chaz" breeds (for those that don't know.....every cat right now is 'Chaz')


Bethany walking into the appointment...Seeing Bethany's face when she opened the door to see Madelyn in her "A&M scrubs" was pretty cool. Bethany was glad to see us. It was nice to take a few minutes out of her busy morning to say "Happy Birthday."
