Trip to the fair!

We went to the fair with Memom and Pop and Libby had a blast! She was big enough to ride the rides this year, and she couldn't get enough. We had to drag her kicking and screaming to go eat dinner! Lucy just hung out in the stroller the whole time taking it all in.

Libby and Lucy started at a new daycare "school" this month that we absolutely love!

Libby is also starting ballet this week! She is soooo excited! I'm sure that I will have a post soon with her in little costume!

Beach Trip!!!

Well, I had to finish my summer off strong, so I decided to brave a trip to the beach with my best friend Karen and our 4 kids (and no husbands)! We went down to my Grandparent's condo on Satellite Beach, FL. They were so brave to put us all up for 7 full days, and I know that my kids really enjoyed getting to spend some time with them. We also got to see my whole family (the Miller Clan), but we didn't manage to get any pics with them!

We were so busy trying to keep up with our kids ranging in age from 5 to 11 months, but we had a blast! Definitely one of those vacations in which you come home more tired than when you left :)

Libby surprised me with her fearless approach to the water. She loved the ocean, and swam under water like a little fish! She and Lily enjoyed underwater tea parties and jumping in the waves. We never knew quite what to expect from Morgan(age 2). One minute he was cautious and obedient, the next minute Evil Kanievel!!!

Karen and I winded down each night with a glass (or 2) of wine and some much needed girl time. We even got a late night stroll on the beach in which we happened upon a HUGE sea turtle laying her eggs!

We also managed a trip to the Zoo one night while we were there. The kids were hot and cranky, but they got to pet a giraffe and Karen and I got to have a beer, so it was all worth it!

My girls are getting so big!

Here are a few pics of the girls! They are getting so big! We've been trying to make it to the pool as much as possible, but it has rained the last couple of weekends. We at least try and sneak out back for a little dip in the baby pool in between showers when possible! Keep reading below because I did two posts today!

New restaurant pics

Hey!

Here are a few more pics of the restaurant I want to take some with a full dining room too because that is a really cool site! Things are going well. Matt hired a sous chef so he will hopefully be able to take a day off soon! My managers are doing a great job, so I have not been working there at all for the last 2 weeks. I have been working a lot at Cookeville Pediatrics this month which I LOVE! Keep watching for more pics! I will get some more posted soon!

Love,

4th of July!

We decided to close the restaurant this weekend and enjoy a little family time. We laid around the house all day yesterday, took family naps, and ate three meals together as a family (unheard of these days)!

We finished off the relaxing day by shooting off a few fire works at the Bailey's house. We then loaded everyone up and to watch the Cookeville firework show from the comfort of our restaurant patio. It was a great view, we got to drink champagne, and we didn't have to fight the crowd at the fairgrounds!!!

Here are some pics Libby and her best friend Isabelle toasting up a little apple juice to celebrate Independence Day!

I also had to include this video of Lucy dancing while Matt plays guitar. She LOVES music!

Finally Found Time!

Well, we finally got the restaurant open! It has been going really well! I am so proud of Matt. He is working so hard, and he is doing a wonderful job. Here are a couple of pics of the restaurant. We have a website that has the menus and a link to the local newspaper article written about us. The web address is http://www.madduxstation.com/

Meanwhile... the girls keep growing and growing! We have been fighting with ear infections with Lucy, but she is still such a happy baby! Here is a picture of her playing in the tub. She is crawling all around the house and pulling herself up to stand. Libby is having a difficult time with her sister having full access to all of her toys. We have had many time out sessions due to a lack of sharing!

This is a video of Libby singing. She is such a ham these days!

Trying to crawl!

Here is a video clip of Lucy getting up on her knees to try and crawl!

Keep reading below because I posted another!
