Meet my husband.....

Seems Madison and her BFF Parker whom she's known since she was 1 claim they look "married" in this picture. I love Parker so I'm happy with her selection!

Can we get a kitten?

So, you have dogs for over 11 years, you believe, they are apart of the family. You believe that your 4 yr old is going to be devistated when these animals pass - what will you tell her? Where did her beloved friends go? I actually worried about this!!!
That was of course until our neighbor next door got a new kitty - which Madison adores. Within 5 seconds of holding this cat, she asked if we could trade in the dogs for a kitty!!!
Who knew!!! LOL
Poor doggies.....

Galveston

We packed up and went to Galveston and had a blast! We spent time on the sand, ate some seafood and went for a ride on the Ferry to Crystal Beach which was Madison's fave part! Love my family!!!

What to do when it's already 100 degrees outside in Texas? Go to the local mall where mommy can shop and Maddie can ride the rides! Love it!

She can't drive it by herself but she sure does love this thing!!!

Such a little lady :)

Before the recital, we took Madison to get her nails done at her fave place, Sweet n Sassy :) She's getting so big! I wish it would slow down!!!

Let's Dance!

So for the past several months Madison has been taking dance lessons. Memorial Day weekend was the BIG show and she did great! They danced 1 song to Tangled and Madison knew all the steps! Most of the kids were watching her on what to do! We were so proud of her - she did a great job and although she hated the hair and make up, she finished what she started!

The latest....

Hi everyone! Sorry for the delay in posting things lately. I'm exhausted. I have no energy nor time it seems to do anything other than what I have to do in a day :) My job is great - I still love it. Chip is the same and Madison is fun and challenging all at the same time. She's 4 going on 20 :) She's smart, funny and cute as a button! Her father and I's worst nightmare! We are hoping that we can take her to Disneyland this year when she's closer to 5, before starting school. The school she is in currently is great - she's learning a lot and surprises us more and more all the time. It really does go by so fast. I can't say I promise to be more on top of this blog than I have been but I can say that I hope to update it again, sooner vs. later. I hope everyone this reaches is doing well :)

Madison 2012

Happy New Year!

Happy New Year everyone! I hope you all had a safe and wonderful holiday season with your families! Apologies to everyone on not getting Christmas cards out this year! I just simply had no idea where this year went! By the time it caught up to me - it was over and too late!
To update everyone, I started a new job in February 2011 at PwC (PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP). They are an accounting firm - I know what you are thinking! No worries, we do tons more than auditing and taxes and I have absolutely nothing to do with the taxes we file so rest assured!
I love the job and am relieved to no longer work for my former employer. It has been a transition to move back into the "real" world of business but I'm grateful, happy and am adjusting well.
We put our house on the market in June 2011 - we have a few interested people - no real bites and are now attempting to sell it ourselves. We'll see how this goes :) The housing market as you know is not the best and it's even worse in our neighborhood. Our goal is to sell it and move before Madison starts school. Unless we enroll her in a private school, that will be when she is 6 due to her birthday so we have sometime. We are not sure where we want to move exactly - more than likely the Sugar Land area but we will see!
Madison turned the big 4 in October. We have had a blessed year with her thus far. She's moved to a new school which has helped her tremendously! She's learning at a rate in which Chip and I can barely keep up (I know, scary considering she's not even in school yet!) Let's just say we plan on having a large tutor budget for the areas in which Mommy & Daddy are lacking :)
Chip is still working at the shop, still working out and still continues to be a great dad and hubby! Not much changes with him! He's a trooper to keep up with us girls!
More to come in 2012......

All I Want For Christmas....

All Madison wanted for Christmas was princess, princess, princess stuff! So, our house (at least the west wing) has officially exploded in princess stuff everywhere including her very own princess room!!!! Santa was good to Maddie this year!

Such a girl....

So, we are in the phase of our lives with Madison where everything is pink, everything is sparkly and everything is princess!!! This is what I LIVE for people! This is why I had to have a girl - it simply wouldn't work any other way! My daughter is just simply perfect for me :)

Here we are this morning on our way to ballet - in all pink of course!

Sweet n' Sassy

I think this is the perfect place for my 4 year old as I don't know anyone who is more "Sweet n' Sassy" than Madison!

She got her nails painted purple and pink sparkle - alternating fingers! LOL

Turned out pretty cute - I told her they looked like Princess Nails and she was sold :)

Family Night @ The Unerfusser's!

So every night of the week, we do our best to do something as a family and to keep Madison from watching too much TV :) This was clearly bake night! Madison is getting very good and I think her cupcakes turned out cute not to mention super yummy! Not great for my diet but that's ok :)

Houston Ballet - The Nutcracker 2011

One of my favorite things...

So what is my all time FAVORITE thing to do!?!?

I love curling up in bed with my Maddie, watching a movie and just hanging out. I have no clue how long this will last but with any luck, it will be a long, long time!

Thanksgiving Lunch

So blessed! I love my new job and I love that I have some flexibility within reason to finally not miss the good stuff! LIKE having Thanksgiving lunch with Madison at her new school :)
