Here is a couple pictures of the girls and I at our friend Kris and Heidi's wedding. It was at an absolutely beautiful location in the country by a pond. Also, I added one of Gracie with my Dad, and one of my very beautiful pregnant sister Megan with her husband Brian.
Last night when I got home from work John had the girls all ready to go to the car show at church. It was pretty fun looking at some of the old cars. Maddy had a good time trying out the rock wall. Although I think she scaled the light pole better then the wall.
At my company picnic last Saturday Maddy got to ride the horses again. Its her favorite thing that she looks forward to when we go. It was a lot of fun. Here is a couple pictures. Gracie slept the entire time we were there, but I added a picture of her cuddling with Daddy on the couch at home that evening.
Well today was a very busy day. I took the girls over to the Independence parade (which we do every year) and they both had a good time. Maddy of course met a new friend (she seems to meet one any where we go) and thats the little girl with her in the pictures. We then headed over to Megan and Brian's for a BBQ and then back home for a rest. Then about 8:30pm we went over to my folks house and Maddy got to do fireworks with the neighbor kids before heading over to our grassy spot behind Target to watch the fireworks go off after the baseball game. It was very fun, but we are all pretty tired. Im sure we will all sleep good tonight!
Maddy just finished her first week of Safety Town. She is learning so much about personal safety, fire safety, water safety, and so much more. She has one more week of it and then she graduates next Thursday.
Monday night we surprised Maddy and packed up the truck with blankets, popcorn, and snacks and took her to her first Drive-In movie. We told her to get jammies on and then we got in the truck and wouldnt tell her where we were going. It was so funny to see her face and when she said "were going to watch a movie outside, sitting in the back of the truck?!". We cracked up laughing. We saw the new Disney movie WALL-E. It was okay. The whole drive-in experience was the most fun of all though. Even Gracie seemed to have a good time.
Hi, we are the Straus family. I, Mandy, or Mommy known to my darling girls, and Honey, to my adorable husband, thought I could use this to keep friends and family updated on our family. I hope you enjoy!
