Madison's Birthday Pictures

Desiree and I took Madison to get her 1st birthday pictures taken in Valencia. She wore a pretty dress and was so happy in her pictures, she came out adorable! :) While we waited to view the pictures we took the kids on the Carousel.

Then while we chose which poses we wanted, the kids played and ate.

Madison slept the way up, and the way home :) She was very upset with me for locking her into her carseat though....lol.

She's such a happy girl :)

Valencia Mall

Yesterday Katie and I went with my Mom to the Valencia mall in search of an Easter dress. We didn't find one smaller than 12 months :/ So I'll need to keep looking. But it was fun strolling around the mall. I took Katie on her first ride on a carousel (sp?). They had a 2 story one in the mall. But I wanted my Mom to be able to take pics of Katie on it, so I went on the first story. She did good! She held on all by herself, and was just looking around the whole time. She did look at me and smile once, and I thought it was the cutest thing :) Right after the ride, someone handed me a coupon for a free 10x13 picture for first time customers. So we decided what the heck, lets get a free picture. We go inside and get one taken. It was fun. The people were REALLY good with Katie, even though she didn't smile much, I did get a few cute pictures. I really like Kiddie Kandids a LOT better though. The place I went to, Picture People, didn't have backgrounds. They have white, blue, and some other color, I forget. But that's all...they mostly just use props they said. The pictures are cute, but definately not the best. We might go again soon though, only because they said the Easter Bunny will be there 1 weekend, and my Mom bought me a $12 membership, which gives me a free sheet and $10 off every time I go. So I can get 2 sheets for $8 every time. lol. Unless I love the pictures and end up spending more. But idk if that will happen at this place. At Kiddie Kandids I always spend more than I want to! haha. But anyway, it was a fun day, and I'm glad we went. After David got off work, we went to see his Mom because she's going back to Florida today, and she wanted to see Katie one more time. Apparently staying up that late exhausted my little girl, because she slept ALL night again, for the 3rd time this week! I'm SO HAPPY! SLEEEEP! It was not 3 nights in a row :( But it was still 3 nights this week, and that is good for Mommy!
