Madison's First Braids




It's so cute isn't it?!




I went to help my sister with a little babysitting job and when I got home I saw the cutest little braids in Madison's hair. She's getting more and more willing for us to play with her hair. It's so awesome!

101 Dalmations

With her fellow cast members in the line thanking everyone for coming.

Her Scottie Dog outfit

Madison telling Aunt Alyssa how much she loved the play


So cute!

We had the opportunity to see my youngest sibling Alyssa in her very first play. She was a Scottie Dog in the play 101 Dalmations. It was awesome to see her having a great time with her friends. Madison clapped through the whole thing and said Yay! I definitely think she'll want to take up more theater in the future.

Madison's Car Faces









Our absolute favorite face out of them all. This is when she says Foo.








Our other favorite face. My siblings call it the secret face.





She's been all about going places with her Nana since we've been here and my siblings are chomping at the bit to be with her in the car. She's quite the entertainment as you can see. I know my siblings have had a hand in some of these unique faces but they are still priceless.

Playing Basketball

Let's play some ball!!



Up so high and ready to make a basket!



She shoots! But does she score?!

Ohhh just bounced off the rim but she's off to get it before Uncle Robert does.

Madison has really taken a shine to her Uncle Robert, so since he loves to play ball she decided to give it a shot. It was so cute watching her try to put the ball in the basket and run after it to throw it back to Uncle Robert. Her Dad would be so proud!

Easter with the Kelly's

Madison seeing her basket for the first time!

Mmmmm...Peeps are good!


Finding Eggs with the help of her Aunt Megan and Uncle Robert.


Reaping the benefits of her findings.

Madison found this little doll chair in her cousin Jenna's room and thought it must have been meant for her. It apparently was just her size! :)


The Kelly Family that was present this Easter.

Four generations of Kelly's. My dad, Papa, Myself, and Madison.

We celebrated Easter on Saturday at my mom's house before going to see the rest of the family on Sunday. Madison thouroghly enjoyed her treats and toys and even tried to get more from her Aunts and Uncle when they weren't looking. :) Then we headed to Colorado Springs to see some of my dad's family. Had an Easter egg hunt but Madison was done after three eggs, she just wanted the goodies inside. We all had a great time and took some great family pictures before we left including a four generation one. We all hope you had a wonderful Easter!

Madison's Pretty Hairdo

Isn't it just precious?! Now I have to figure out how it's done so I can do it also.



I love her little profile. So beautiful!


My mother seems to be a miracle worker, since she was able to put Madison's hair up without her crying and trying to pull it out. One minute her hair is down, the next she comes out with this beautiful hairdo. She looked so grown up I couldn't believe it! I had to show you all how adorable it was. Such a little lady. :)

Disneyworld and the Beach

Waiting for Finding Nemo: The Musical to start



One of my most favorite castles!!!

I either took this picture in pirates or It's a Small World, but either way Madison's face is awesome!


Had to get a picture of Madison in Minnie Ears!

Kodak moment at the beach together!

While we were in Orlando, I had to take the opportunity to take Madison to Disneyworld! So Laurie, Madison and I went on Monday to have some good times. We went to the Animal Kingdom first where we saw Finding Nemo the Musical, The Lion King, and It's Tough to Be A Bug 3-D Experience. The Lion King was so awesome, definitely my favorite! Madison loved all of them of course, so many things to see. It was really cute watching her during the 3-D movie, trying to grab everything. :) Then we went to the Magic Kingdom and got there right on time for a parade. Madison blew kisses to all the characters and they blew them back. So much fun! We got to ride on the Tea Cups, Snow White, Dumbo (Madison's favorite), It's A Small World, and Pirates. Then of course to end a wonderful day we got to see the fireworks.
The next day we went to the beach! A must on our to-do list since we were in Florida! Madison said "Wow" when she first laid eyes on it but her feelings went from awe to disgust when the water crashed on her legs. After that she was done, all tears. She was kind of ok when I held her and got close but overall she is not a fan. She loves it when it's really far away lol. We got some good pictures but it's going to be awhile before she gets close again I think. Hope you enjoy the pictures!

We had an amazing time in Orlando but man were we always on the go! I'm so glad that we got to meet all of Bryan's wonderful family. Madison adored each and every one of them. First stop was the Trammel family for Bryan's Aunt Wendy. They were all so sweet with Madison and she'll definitely go back since she LOVES their cats. :) Then we met friends of Laurie's before meeting Pop/Bill for the first time. He was so cute with Madison, they hit it off so well. We were also fortunate to meet Bryan's best friend Kris. Bryan talks about him all the time so we had to see him while we were there! He just melted when Madison wanted him to hold her. Then we met Grandma and Grandpa Turner and all the Turner aunts, uncles, and cousins that come with it. Lots of people that day but she loved all of the attention. Last but not least we met the Ashby's, Bryan's Aunt Christy. We even got to ride on a golf cart at their house so we could go looking for gators! We were unlucky in that endeavor but we still had fun! All in all, I'm glad I finally got the oppportunity to meet them. What an amazing family!!
