a fun day with my madison



I had so much fun with Maddie yesterday. In the morning we went to see "Horton Hears a Who" at the movie theatre with my mom (Grandma). We enjoyed the usuals at a movie: popcorn, drinks, and fruit snacks. Maddie sat through almost the entire movie before getting a little stir-crazy. The movie theatre was pretty much empty so it didn't matter much when she wandered up and down our row the last little bit of the show. She was so excited to see the movie end happy with lots of singing! After the movie was finished we walked around the San Tan Village mall for a little while and she LOVED going into Claire's and trying on all the COLORFUL necklaces. We even made a pit stop in the eating area and tried out some of the cars!

Then last night we took Maddie to see Disney's "Nemo on Ice" performance. Jesse's friend was so nice to get us these tickets and it was so much fun to have their little girl, Abby, who is 2 yrs old there as well! I was a little bit nervous taking her to something in the evening where she needed to sit nicely for a long period of time. I soon learned that I had nothing to worry about.

She LOVED the performance and literally sat on my lap for the 1st hour without a single movement.
After the intermission it took just a few minutes of the performance to continue before she become mesmerized once again. She then sat on my lap for the entire second hour without fidgeting at all! The only thing that scared her a little was the fireworks near the beginning of the performance.
We were ALL a little tired by the end but it was well worth it! We have decided that we will definitely have to go to another one of these again. I have loved every stage that Madison has gone through, but I have to admit it is sooo much fun when you can start taking your kids to things and have them REALLY enjoy them!
-sorry Robby...when you get just a little bit older we will start to take you to fun things like this! In the meantime, I LOVE being a part of a babysitting group so that I can leave Robby at other houses here and there. And many thanks to my in-laws for watching him last night while we went and saw "Memo" as Maddie says :)

How fun! I saw tickets online for the Nemo and thought about taking Lexi. It sounds like you guys had a good time. I can't believe how grown up Maddie looks.

Wasnt that show so fun?! We went to it today and loved it also. Much better than we expected it to be for sure. Im glad you guys had fun too! We are living on Ironwood and Broadway right now. We built a house out here a couple years ago. Your new house is Beautiful!! I love it. We would LOVE to move out that direction if our house EVER sells. :)

Maddie is such a lucky girl! I can't wait till Brooklynn is a little bit older to be able to go to the movies.

And yes to your question if the splash pad was at the San Tan Village. We are wanting to go there again sometime this week, before we leave for Cali. I'll call you and let you know!!

Ok, so I was looking at friends blogs and you were on one of their links. I had to see your cute kids. I wish I had taken Kent to see Nemo on ice, I am sure it was so fun. It was fun seeing you at my parents house for Brad's babies blessing. If you want to check out my blog it is still being worked on www.thekemptonfamily.blogspot.com

I thought about taking Jaydee but decided that she wouldn't sit still but maybe she would have. :) Maybe next time. It was great seeing you on Sunday. I know it is hard to come up but I am so glad that you did!

Tiffany, it was great to see you again tonight and catch up. Your little family is beautiful! Maddie is such a doll.
Be sure to keep in touch, and pray for us as we go into the wild unknown...
