We are getting the after math of Gustav here in Arkansas. In 48 hours we got 10 inches of rain. The rain gadge below was over filling and it holds 9inches so we dumped some out so we could see the line of water, then dumped it out and this morning we had another inch. The backyard was flooding, and all the stones around our trees had been knocked over. I kept saying the Garske Levee has been compromised. There was a ton of water on the side of the house, where you couldn't even tell there was grass there and then just a river down our driveway. There were lots of wind and the power was out for a couple hours yesterday. I thought there was no way I was going to sit at home so I thought I would go to Walmart. Yeah, not smart. EVERYTHING was out of power! On the way to work today Derek said he couldn't even go on the highway the water was so high. The rain is finally slowing down today and should be done by tomorrow! Very crazy stuff, glad nothing bad happened here at our house, but there are still thousands with out power and a ton of trees that have fallen over and caused a lot of damage!!
We have started this blog so our family and friends can stay updated with our beautiful baby girl, Madisynn Hope and handsome baby boy Braylon Robert.

It is time for another vacation! Madisynn and I are flying home to Colorado on Saturday for 10 days! September is end of year for Derek, so he is very busy during this time, so it works out perfect. I am not looking forward to the flight since I am deathly afraid of it and because Madisynn is not going to sit still! It should be pretty interesting!!

Last night Derek took Madisynn outside to play in the rain. Her hair gets so curly now!
Madisynn HATES when we go in a room and shut the door. Derek will not go to the bathroom with the door open, where I have no choice. She comes with me EVERYTIME. She laid down on the floor calling for him till he came out! It was too cute!
My little diva!
If you ask her to smile now, she gives you this goofy smile. She sure does love jewlery

WE finally took the 4wheeler outside. I did not want to get it dirty :) She loved it though.

That video cracks me up! It is so cute! I love this age!
Have fun in Colorado!!
Cant watch the video now but I will as soon as this is over....
Always stressful with the 1st flight with the baby by yourself! Be sure to bring enough things to keep her busy...books, DVD player is a gem! I have to load up Sofie's carry on bag when we fly because we are flying between 8-12 hours...ugh. I am weak and drug her everytime we fly (I know I'm bad) it does get better as they get older, I promise. You will get through it and I am sure she will be an angel!! I am jealous! Take me with you to CO. Take lots of pictures of the fam for me...I cant wait to see you guys fgor real!
