Madalyn is FOUR MONTHS!

(smiling at her brother in this pic!)

Madalyn weighs 16 pounds 10 ounces

Our sweet Maddie Ann turned FOUR MONTHS old on June 4th! She is THE SWEETEST baby and is such a go with the flow little girl.  Oh she just fills us with so much joy!

Madalyn is now totally on bottles.  What an adventure that was, so much different than Reagan and Landon.  I had to pump for the first time ever, which is just a treat...it all worked out though and Maddie is just happy to eat! 

When Maddie was born in February, I thought for sure 6 month clothes would be good for her for the summer; so I started buying!  WELL little miss chunks a lot pretty much sailed past 6 month clothes and is very comfortable in 9 month now!  She is totally in size 3 diapers and even size 4 Target diapers for night time because she leaked through a few times at night in her 3's!

Speaking of night; she is a great little sleeper!  She is ready for bed at 7 sharp, but usually is up about an hour later for her binkie or to be rocked for a minute and then goes right back to sleep.  She wakes up anywhere between 6 and 7 and is ready for a morning nap about an hour and a half after she gets up.  That nap can be 45 minutes or 2 hours...she isn't so predictable in the nap department yet :)  She needs another little snooze mid-morning and then her afternoon nap is usually a longer one, followed by one more little evening nap before bedtime!  Bless her heart...a lot of her naps are on the road or in the middle of Walmart, but she doesn't care :)  It's ME that wants her home in her room on a routine, but I need to take a chill pill (NOT EASY FOR ME) and realize she is baby #3 and we can't just sit at home everyday for naps!!  (again, this is NOT easy for me to do!)

Someone discovered the sticker comes off...of course going right into the mouth!

the kids and I were cracking up!  It's like she was so proud of herself

Look at that face...oh sorry mom, was I supposed to keep that on?

Madalyn is talking, laughing, loves being tickled, LOVES and ADORES her brother and sister, she wants to roll over so badly but isn't quite there yet, she doesn't love tummy time but will tolerate it when I remember to do it, loves to sit in her bumbo, play on her playmat, grabs everything in site, and smiles like crazy!

She is just the most precious babe!  We love her to pieces and can't believe how quickly these months are going!!

Recital Time!

Reagan had her recital on June 4th and it was awesome!  All of the acts were great.  Maddie snoozed through most of the show, but when she was awake she watched those girls dancing.  Landon...well he was a trooper and spent most of the time on Pop-Pop's phone or in my lap with a snack :)  We are so proud of our little dancer...this is so her "thing!"

The LAST Day of School 2016!!

Wasn't I JUST posting about the first day of school?  I can't even believe summer is HERE!  I REALLY can't believe I now have a 2nd grader and a kindergartener!!!  I taught 2nd grade...how is my baby old enough!?!  AND my 2nd graders that I taught, the first group, are going to be seniors in high school this fall!!  HOLY MOLY!!

Last day as a 1st grader!  What a WONDERFUL school year she had.

Reagan and I had to make a couple quick stops before dropping off at school, she was a trooper and so excited for her early release at noon!

Last day of Preschool!  This kid has come SO far...he's gone from screaming and crying when I left him at school to now missing it and "not being able to talk about" missing his teacher.

WE LOVE MISS HEIDI!!!

Look at how precious she is...she had the door all decorated for the kids...she was THE.BEST!

When I saw this picture...I LOST it!  Seriously, bawled!

A precious bulletin board...all about Dr. Seuss, their whole classroom theme for the year.

Keith and his dad got to school by 8:30 to get in line to reserve seats for Landon's graduation.  THANK GOODNESS they did because it was packed!  We had front row seats.

Our little graduate...yup, I sobbed

Following the directions like such a good boy!

Each teacher introduced their graduates with their name and then said what they want to be when they grow up.  "Landon Kepplinger and when he grows up he wants to be a construction worker!"

"Liam Stringer and when he grows up he wasn't to be a construction worker!"

No surprise these boys picked the same career and they informed us afterwards that they are going to work on the same construction site as well! :)

The kids sang a couple cute little songs and there was a slideshow too

All graduated!

After graduation we got a celebratory donut and then it was off to pick up Reagan!  I picked her up, we came home for a quick lunch, and then the kids and I were off to Jump On Over for one of Reagan's classmates birthday party.  We stayed there until about 3 and then ran home to get ready for dress rehearsal.  We had to be there by 4!

Work it!

This girl ROCKED it and could literally do her dance in her sleep!  She didn't miss a beat!

Our little dancer wanted to stay for the WHOLE dress rehearsal...we could have left by 6:30, BUT she wanted to watch all the dances.  SOO we didn't leave until 9!  She just loves watching it and I loved watching it with her...although I wish I would have thought about dinner.  We were starving!!  The few snacks I brought only did so much :) 

Nothing like a crazy, busy start to summer.  It was a great day though and we could NOT be prouder of our kiddos and their amazing accomplishments in school this year!
