(195) 7-14-2011 Coupons And Coffee!!!

This is what I woke up to this morning. Rachel came and got me because this was in their bathtub! Then, I got a text from my neighbor about the Coupon Swap and Coffee she was having. So, I took the girls and headed across the street.
While we talked and looked through coupons, the girls worked out! :-)Then as we were in her computer room, printing coupons, the little girls were playing in the dresser. It was so much fun, I can't wait till we do it again!

(194) 7-13-2011 Madi's 18 Month Appointment

We headed to Stephenville today to take Madi to the doctor. I only took this one picture today, because when we got back to Mimi and Poppy's we took a nap,and then I got to go clothes shopping for my birthday! I was so excited!!! I got some good stuff!!! Thank you Bob and Devra!!! LOVE YOU!!!

(193) 7-12-2011 Stella's Home AGAIN!!!

We picked Stella up this morning, and things went well. She is good to go and can go on as normal, well, as normal as a 3 legged hamster can!!! HAHAHA!!!Here is another little thing to make you smile! I am just wondering what 18 month old has THIS many shoes.Now, most of them are hand me downs from Rachel, but still, this is a little ridiculous!!!

(192) 7-11-2011 Back To The Vet We Go

After exactly one week, Stella finally got her splint off her foot and it doesn't look any better. So, we go to plan "B" and we took her back to the vet to have her foot amputated! I am sad, but I just want her to feel better and not be in pain.
I know you all still think I am crazy, but we are doing it. We really like her. That is how I am justifying it to myself!! HEHEHE!!!

(191) 7-10-2011 Fun In The Ice Chest

While I began to unpack, Madi found Rachel's panties. She loves to put on any sort of clothing items. She is getting really good at it. Then we emptied the ice chest, and boy, who knew how much fun ice could be.She would eat it and then spit it back in!

Then later she climbed up and got a spoon so it was much easier to eat it. This way her hands didn't get cold.

(190) 7-9-2011 All Tuckered Out!

We got up this morning, and packed everything so we could check out and head down to the water park one last time. I took some water pictures today, Before I got in to play too! We started at the wave pool.
Madi loved the bubbles that came with the waves.

Then she found something she could do that didn't get her head wet, she was having a blast!

After a few hours, the little ones were worn smooth out with all the water fun we have had the past few days. We watched Rachel and Lance race around the Lazy River.

Finally, the "Littles" couldn't hold out any longer. Neither could Big Daddy.

They were all tuckered out!

They slept most of the way home, and even went to bed early.All in all it was a great vacation. LOTS of fun!

(189) 7-8-2011 Great Wolf Fun!

We were woken up at 4:45 this morning to a fire alarm telling everyone to evacuate the building. As we sat outside with everyone of the other guests, we heard several fire trucks and an ambulance. We had no idea what was going on. After 30 or so minutes we were let back in and told one of the alarms was set off from the boiler rooms. Just as we all got settled down and the kiddos back in bed, at 5:45 the fire alarm went off AGAIN!!! We headed back outside and this time it only took 15 minutes to find out that it went off while they were trying to reset it. It was CRAZY!!! After both wonderful evacuations, we were let back inside and then everyone went back to sleep until around 8:30.

After we got up, the girls were very interested in watching the staff put out all the chairs around the outside pool.
Lance called down to see if they were offering FREE coffee seeing as they kept us up for 2 hours that morning, and we found out they were offering everyone a FREE buffet! WOO HOO!!!The kiddos swam the morning away and then we all went up for a nap. After a nice long nap, we took the "Bigs" down stairs to walk around and do a Cub Club craft.They decided to do some sand art, and let me tell you, they had a blast!They were both very proud of their sand.She is growing up SOOOOO fast!Here they are with their sand!We went back up to get the "Littles" and the guys, and went back to the water park. We stayed until closing time and then went up to get some grub and get cleaned up.
We found out one of the animals that represents Great Wolf Lodge was named "Rachel", so there was no doubt in my Rachel's head that she wanted her souvenir would be a stuffed "Rachel"!
So, we went down stairs and got her one. It was just like Build A Bear.Instead of putting a heart in the stuffed animal, it was a star.She loves her new "Rachel" Raccoon.What a way to end a day, she has a stuffed animal with her name. She loves her so much!!!
