Happy Birthday Maddie!

Maddie celbrated her 4th birthday on February 12th. On her actual birthday we had Grammy, Uncle Bubba, Aunt Cin Cin, Davis and Owen over for spaghetti and cake (her cake was in the shape of a purse).



The following Saturday she had a tea party with all her little girlfriends and girl cousins. She loved her "teacup party".

Help me become a better blogger

OK to all my blogging friends I need help. I am really going to start updating my blog more often. I didn't think I was computer illiterate but when I post a new blog how do I show a picture then type something under it? All I know how to do is show all my pictures then type everything I want to write. I've noticed most of you will describe each picture individually and I like that. Please help!

Sorry I have not posted in a while. Flint started playing Upward Basketball this month and loves it. Yesterday we signed him up for baseball which will start the beginning of March. He still loves school and is doing great. He is especially strong in Math. We are so proud of how well he does in school.

Maddie will be 4 next week, need I say more! Wow! She makes me laugh everyday and sometimes cry. She is a mess. She also gets to play T-ball this year. We'll see how that goes, she is usually walking around in the back yard carrying her PINK bat with her high heels on. What amazes me the most about Maddie is she is not even 4 yet and already knows how to roll her eyes!

Mary Claire just turned 7 months old. What joy she brings our family. Flint and Maddie adore her and Kearby and I are so eaten up with her. She is starting to crawl but she is still so tiny. She looks more like a 4 month old. At her 6 month check she weighed 15 pounds where Maddie weighed 17' 7'' at 6 months.

Yesterday my nephew Davis came over to play and my mother in law and sister in law stopped by on their way to Arkansas. So we got see our precious neices Kylan (2) and Leighton (4months).

I'll try to do better blogging this month. Today is Super Bowl Sunday which is a holiday in itself at my parents house so hopefully I'll have some pictures to post this week!

Christmas

Wow! I am so sorry I haven't blogged all month. Christmas was wonderful this year, probably the best ever. We spent the weekend before Christmas in Tyler with Sassie and Mikey (Kearby's dad and step-mom). They always go above and beyond at Christmas. Flint got to go on a scavenger hunt for one of his gifts. A new basketball goal!We spent Christmas afternoon and evening at my mom's and had tons of fun as always.I thought the picture of Maddie in Santa's lap was perfect since she has always been terrified of him. Santa brought us a Wii for Christmas and I must say I have had to take Advil for 2 morning in a row from playing too much tennis on the Wii. We all love it! Maddie's favorite is golf! Mary Claire just turned 6 months old and is still the most happy. perfect baby ever. She weighs about 15 pounds and is rolling all over the place. We are all back to our routine and excited about 2008! Happy New Year!

Thanksgiving

Sorry I have not blogged in about a month. We had a great Thanksgiving at my mom's. All eight grand kids were there so it was wild. We had lots to eat then we just sat around visited and watched the Cowboys, as usual. The pictures are from Maddie's Thanksgiving program at school, Thanksgiving Day and just random shots of Mary Claire. She will be 5 months old Saturday and she is still a wonderful baby . I never dreamed I would have a blue eyed baby! Until next time!

Bad Blogger

Sorry it has been so long since I have posted. We stay busy busy busy! Here's what's been going on. Flint and Maddie went to the Fall Festival at our church Sunday. Maddie was a clown which happens to be the same clown costume I wore when I was 3. My precious grandmother made it for me. Flint is a Army Man. He loves this costume and plays in it all the time at home. Today at school Maddie dressed up as little Miss Muffet because they had to be a character from a nursery rhyme.

The picture of Kearby and Maddie is from the day Maddie walked in our room and handed Kearby some make-up and said "Daddy make me look like a princess." So I must say he did a great job putting make-up on.

Flint has lost both of his front top teeth. He really will be asking for his 2 front teeth for Christmas. He is doing great in 1st grade and reading so well. He is a great student and very much of a perfectionist when it comes to his school work.

Mary Claire is growing so fast. She will be 4 months old tomorrow and is sleeping 12 and 13 hours at night. All 3 of my babies have been good but she is the best of all.

Things are going great at the Herrington's house and we give God all the glory!

Rainbow, Bumbo and Reading

Here are some pictures I have taken of the kids this week. Maddie and Mary Claire wore their matching Fall dresses to church Sunday. Monday afternoon Maddie came running in the house and said " Daddy, Daddy hurry outside there is a rainbow in the sky!" Flint brings a book home from school everyday to read and he has to read it 3 times before he can test on it. Usually he reads it to Maddie after he reads it to me. Finally, last night I put Mary Claire in her Bumbo seat for the first time and she loved it! Have a great weekend and thank God for the cooler weather !
