Exciting news and randomness

BIG NEWS BIG NEWS!!!  Madison finally went pee pee on the potty tonight.  This is a huge accomplishment especially since we have been trying to get her to potty train for so long it seems.  Hopefully we can keep up the good work and more progress will come along!!!

I just have to write this too . . . This morning I was stepping out of the shower and Madison walked into the bathroom with a card in her hand.  She handed it to me and said Happy Birthday mommy.  I told her thank you and she said "Your welcome mommy".  It was the cutest thing ever!! 

Happy Halloweenie

Madison's first time trick or treating.

Then we went to Bullocks for some ice cream

Have a good day!!!

Hello to cheerios

As you know Madison is not very fond of having her picture taken.  I really wish I could get her to take some pictures!  With as much of an attention getter as she loves to be I figured she would love to take the spotlight.  Well I was wrong because I literally have to sneak the camera around the corner to catch a couple of pics.  I just loved her little outfit this morning-she did have my long necklace, bracelets, and the heaband from the wedding on before breakfast, but it quickly came off when the camera came around.  Little mess!!

Zuess

Here are a couple pictures of my other child . . my shihtzu Zuess.  I have been home sick for the past couple of days and he has been my little buddy.

He is due for a hair cut poor thing but he's still cute!

A little about me

I have always had a bit of a hard time finding myself.  Growing up I had very little self confidence and struggled with appearance issues.  Middle school was the worst and I struggled through some hard times which ultimately landed me in the hospital.  To be honest-I can only remember bits and pieces of that time in my life, which I am grateful for.  I think your mind pushes the not so good things to the outermose parts of your memory.  I have always wanted to be comfortable in my own skin and love who I am.  Now that I am married and I have my own little girl-I have become much more comfortable with who I am and what I have become. I do not want my daughter to go through what I did. I hope she will grow up with the self confidence and self worth that will guide her through every step of life. 
That being said I thought it would be fun just to express who I am and what I like so here we go:

I love the beach-even if I move from the shore I better be by some water it puts me in a good mood!!

I have found a passion for makeup. I love everything about it. I'm not talking fake piled on stuff. It amazes me how the right products and colors can transform not only a woman's look but her confidence as well.

I love to dress a little differently.  Even though most of the time I don't mainly because of the fact that I get made fun of.  I love all the trendy looks . . .leggings. . .booties . . . .vests . . . .mismatched everything . . LOVE animal prints.  It is hard to dress that way round these parts though. Everyone is a little -well lets say redneck. Leopard and sparkles don't exactly rule the fashion world on the Eastern shore.

I am a coffee/chai tea addict. I WILL NOT and DO NOT leave the house withough at least 2 cups of coffee in me.  I know its not the healthiest thing for me but you don't want to see me without it -trust me!

I always wanted to learn how to barrel race.  Sounds a little off the wall but I always loved riding and always dreamed of doing it.

I will learn how to surf one day. Who knows when though

I don't like expensive jewelry.  I will most likely lose it or MAdison will break it.

I am notoriously disorganized.  I am trying to change this though-an organized life is a happy life right?

I love to travel. Mostly to exotic tropical places.  I love the warmth-the beach-fruity drinks with little umbrellas in them. ahhhhh. . . .I am on a beach right now.  Not really just daydreaming!!

Well those are just a few things about little ole' me.  I'm sure I will be back with more.  Hopefully I will get more pics of our little angel soon!

Pumpkin Patch 2009

We took a trip to our local pumpkin patch today.  Madison doesn't like having her picture taken so I tried my best on the pics.

Little update

Since I have not been keeping new posts here lately I thought I would throw a little update on our family out there.  Madison of course turned two not too long ago-and is growing so much everyday.  She is forming sentences, learning numbers, her alphabet, colors, and a whole lot more.  I can not believe how much information she can retain and spit back out-and make sense.  It's just crazy.  She is a very active on the go child-but she does learn and retain a lot of what she sees and hears (most of the time a good thing-although sometimes not so good)=). 
Our other two family members-a.k.a the dogs are doing well too.  Zuess (the shih tzu) and Mackie (the boxer) are now good buddies.  Most of the time I find them laying up next to each other in Mackie's kennel.  I wasn't sure of how they would get along but they are doing good.  Zuess is not really supposed to be an outside dog-but he loves it and MAckie and he always gets absolutely disgusting outside but I feel so bad keeping him in all the time.  most of the time I end up first giving Madison her bath the giving Zuess his bath.  I guess you can say he is my other child. 
Ryan and I are doing well too.  Since the weather is cooling off we have resumed the work on the house.  We are almost finished with our half bath.  Ryan is working on my office/computer area (which is a closet in Madison's playroom) but hey-I can't complain!  After those two projects are done it is off to the garage for some more tearing out and remodeling.  I will be so happy when we are all finished.  Our ultimate goal is to finish-find land-sell-and build the house of our dreams . . but there are still steps we need to complete before reaching that ultimate goal.  We will get there. . .Ryan works very hard to try to finish things around here.  Hopefully I can get some pics up of the finished projects.  Other than that-everything has stayed pretty quiet  and normal.  All is good at the MAloney house!!!  I hope to talk to everyone soon!!

Boating fun

This summer we were lucky enough to be able to have our own boat but also have great friends that also have their own.  We spent many of our days this summer on the water.  Since we are so close to the river and the bay we are able to go tubing, knee boarding, skiing, swimming, and our favorite-to visit some of the local dock/tiki bars.  We had so much fun I can only hope we can do it again next year!!

Me, Joyce, and Vicki keeping cool in the water.

Not too sure if this is safe-but were pros baby!!

Me and my girl Joyce-note the matching koozies Thanks Joyce!!

Joyce and Jay-

On our way to Jelly fish Joels-a really laid back tiki bar/beach hang out across the bay. There were so many boats heading out it was like a highway on water! Crazy

First view entering into the inlet. There are tons of huge boats, cigarette boats, yachts.
