Halloween Puppet Show

Today we went to the Green Valley Library to their Halloween Story Time for kids 0-5. Maddy was so excited to go with Grandma, Kaelyn and friend Christina. When we got there we found out that it was a puppet show. The girls LOVED it and it even held Kaelyn's attention for most of the show. The puppeteers were great and they had a witch that would come out and talk to the puppets and sing songs with the kids. Then after the show they had a mini trick or treat trail for the kids to follow and get candy. The girls just loved it! I really need to call the library to tell them what an amazing job they did. It was one of the best children's activities I have ever taken Maddy too.

Can't we all just get along!

This is something my sister sent to me this morning. A little bit of humor to start your day off!

Maddy is so Smart!!

Lately Maddy will call me by my first name when we are in public places such as the store, church or the park. This morning on our way back from taking Daddy to work she said "Megan Dougherty". It is amazing to me that at only 2 years old she is understanding so much. I replied by saying "Yes and you are Madelyn Dougherty". She thought about it a little bit and then said "Coco Dougherty" (Coco is short for Aunt Collette who is MY sister so she doesn't have the same last name). I just laughed and told her good job because she was understanding the whole same last name = family concept. Being a mom is so fun!

Grandma and Grandpa's House

This past weekend Jay went to Bakersfield, CA for a Barbershop Competition so the girls and I headed up to St. George to visit MY grandparents. It was so fun to be able to spend time with them and especially to see them treat Maddy the same way that they treated me when I was growing up. My grandma supplied Maddy with several yummy snacks and Maddy loved to sit on the stools by the counter and talk to my grandma while she was preparing dinner or washing dishes (something I remember doing a lot growing up). With my grandpa they would have tickle wars and play hand games which we did ALL the time with me when I was young. Maddy did not want to leave and I don't blame her.

Kaelyn was her cute self. She mastered the art of crawling this weekend and was content to play on the floor going from toy to toy and periodically checking to make sure I was still around.

Here are some pictures that I took on Sunday morning before church. I took some video too, but am not sure how to post it.

Kaelyn has the cutest smile

Kaelyn has the cutest smile, but the shutter speed on our camera is so slow I can never capture it. Here is my attempt yesterday. I got some cute ones, but not the big smile I was looking for. Still she is a cutie!!

Maddy's Potty Thoughts

As we were flushing the potty after Maddy went this morning she proclaimed,

"Good-bye Poo-poo! Have a good day...at the store!"

So thoughtful!

Here Are Some Recent Family Pics

I stepped away for a few minutes and came back to Maddy trying to help by feeding Kaelyn. They were both having fun! Below is the outcome of the feeding!

Cute Sisters!! They play so well with each other at times. Kaelyn is only 8 pounds lighter than Maddy. She is already in 12 - 18 mo. clothing at 7 months old. She is super tall!

Jay got home from work really late one day and both girls just wanted to sit on his lap.

Look at those top teeth. Kaelyn officially has 8 teeth. The shirt says it all!

We got a little crazy with a pair of Maddy's sunglasses.

There is never a dull day at the Dougherty house! These two cuties keep me busy, but are super fun!! Madelyn repeats just about everything she hears. Kaelyn just did her first baby sign language this morning and loves to babble on and on. So Cute!!!
