Hee Haw Part 2 and Sandbox



Aaron: Maddy can I have some chips?

Maddy: No.

Aaron: Maddy, you need to share.

Maddy: I'm sharing with Maddy.



Maddy (randomly in the middle of Walmart): Do bees smile?




Maddy thinks inanimate objects have the same feelings and emotions as humans. She has apologized to her stuffed dog for spilling water on him and to Eeyore for stepping on him. My favorite is when we were painting the house and a friend brought over a ladder and set it on the front steps. Maddy saw the ladder and said in a bright and perky voice: "Hey ladder! Whatcha doin'?"

Last week we did some Bible lessons at home on Adam and Eve. We talked about how Adam and Eve disobeyed God and that made God sad. One of the activities involved some apples that said "Do not eat of the tree of knowledge of good and evil." At the end of the lesson I asked Maddy what she learned. She answered, "Don't eat the apples!"

We were watching the Ranger's game the other night and Maddy kept asking what the players names were. It got to the point where we'd told her everyone's name several times. Kinsler (sp?) was up to bat and she asked what his name was for the 6th or 7th time. I told her she knew what his name was. "Do you recognize him?" I asked. Completely misunderstanding that I was trying to get her to remember the name I told her before, she asked, "What is Recognizer doing? Is he batting?"

Another hilarious incident with names and Ranger's players occurred at the game we went to at the end of June. Yu Darvish was pitching that night. She asked who he was and we said, "That's Yu." Maddy pointed to him and and said, "That's Yu? That's Maddy?"

On a non-humorous note, we got a sandbox this week! A friend called and had some leftover sand in his truck and wanted to know if we'd ever thought of making Maddy a sandbox. I'd actually been planning to make one out of a kiddie pool when we got back from vacation but this one is so much better. We have ply board to cover it to keep out the cats. Maddy loves the sandbox so far. Here are a few pics:



I'll leave you with a video of Maddy having a blast in the pool:

Hee Haw for sure. Maddy is a riot! I love reading about what she says. On the sandbox, that looks fun. I forgot that we had a sandbox when we were kids until Mema reminded me of it. It was a lot of fun.

Getaway to Ticks Bend....I Mean Beavers Bend State Park

 Back in April, we decided we needed to do a short family getaway after the semester was over. The last time we'd been on vacation just to vacation (not going to see family in CO) was when we went to San Antonio when Maddy was 3 months old. We found Beavers Bend State Park close to Broken Bow, OK and decided to go there. We booked a cabin in the state park and eagerly awaited the day we could take off for our getaway. We left on Sunday afternoon and stayed through Tuesday afternoon. It was short, but so fun and relaxing. We had no computer and no cell phones while we were up there. We just got to enjoy being around each other and the beautiful scenery.  We built a fire and roasted some marshmallows. Also popped some jiffy pop. Aaron had never done one of those before.  This is a 100 year old cabin they had at the visitor center. I like the mud chinking ( I think that's what it's called). A couple named Comma and Mabel lived in the cabin when the CCC was building t...

We Need Your Prayers

Many of you have probably heard all ready, but Aaron and I got some devastating news today. Our baby will probably not survive outside the womb. They did an amneostasis this afternoon to test for chromasomal defects, which is what they think it is right now. I know I am spelling everything wrong so I hope what I write makes enough sense for everyone to understand what is going on. The specialist we went to see feels that it is triploidy or triamias 18. Those may not be the right names but they are two of the three chromasomal defects. The other is down's syndrome. He did not feel that it was down's. The other two defects are fatal so if we carry the baby to term it will not live but for a few days or hours if one of the defects above is the problem. We will know in 2days. If it is not one of those then we will have to go to a cardiologist and a genetic counselor. The baby had clubbed hands and feel and it's heart is not formed correctly and is not in the right place. Becau...

Another Sonogram

We went to the high risk pregnancy doc today for another sonogram. This time he could see all four chambers of the heart, the pulmonary valve, etc. In his words it looked "dramatically better". He feels there is still some slight compression on the heart and that we need to continue watching it. As of now he cannot see anything that is causing it and the MRI did not see anything either. He also felt that the hands were okay. They are not clenched fists at least as he first thought, meaning that the fingers aren't overlapping each other. Her hands are still in fists and she won't open them but he said he has had other babies that have not opened their fist in the sonogram but the hands have been normal at birth, so we still have a lot of hope for those little hands. He was able to get a better look at the face today, no cleft palate, so that is a huge blessing. The feet are still concerning. They are definitely clubbed but she is also not moving them. She is moving her...
