"Life is just like an old time rail journey ... delays, sidetracks, smoke, dust, cinders, and jolts, interspersed only occasionally by beautiful vistas and thrilling bursts of speed. The trick is to thank the Lord for letting you have the ride." Gordon B. Hinckley

Tag......Maddy, Kynzee

Gotta love these tags going around! I sure do, and you can probably tell because i wrote a novel about each one. Hey I just had lots to tell you about my girls. I think it is a fun way of getting to know everyone a little better.

Maddy and Kynzee were tagged by Tabrie and Briley! Here are 8 things about each of them. And we tag Anthony, Jenna, Luke, Kolton, Makensie, Kelsie, and Lucas

Maddy Mae 4 years old

1. Maddy was 15 months old when she got a Hello Kitty blanket for Christmas. Since that time she has adored anything Hello Kitty. She has a Hello Kitty stuffed animal she made at Build A Bear Workshop and she cannot sleep at night unless she has her blanket and her Kitty. She rubs the corner of her blanket and all the stitching is completely worn off because she does this.

2. Preschool! What more do I have to say. Maddy loves school. She is always wanting to wear this bright yellow Little Chick Preschool shirt. When she plays pretend with Kynzee she is Mrs. Long and Kynz is the student. She gets so excited to go to school and when I drop her off she skips and laughs the whole way to Mrs. Long. When I pick her up from school Mrs. Long is always smiling and tells me about something funny Maddy did that day. She says Maddy is definitely her class clown. I hope she always loves school.

3. I know this is an old picture but it says so much about Maddy. She loves to draw! She will sit for hours and draw and cut and tape. She draws pictures that have so much detail and she will explain them to me with a story about the picture. I love it! She sticks her tongue out while she is drawing and Josh and I get a kick out of it. Maddy is our little artist and this picture was one of her first masterpieces when she was 20 months old. It is a picture of our family. Isn't it so cute?

4. Parties, it doesn't matter whos birthday it is, when Maddy hears "Birthday" she wants to party. She loves friends and family and she knows that Birthday means getting together and having a party. She lets her energy out at parties and has so much fun.

5. Maddy will always be our "little" princess. She plays dress up with Kynzee everyday. She twirls, dances, and sings like she were from a fairytale. She will bring me a princess story to read and she will say "will you get me into this book?" And at first I was thinking that isn't possible and I would try to explain to her why we couldn't go into the book. Now we go into the book and we pretend that we are a beautiful princess and it is wonderful. I love Maddy's imagination.

6. Anything that has to do with going outside will have Maddy smiling. She loves the outdoors. I think it is because she can run and run and never stop running. She is like a free spirit and she just keeps going. You can't help but smile or laugh at her because of the energy she has.

7. Look at these girls... They are going camping! Maddy loves Kynzee so much, they are best friends without a doubt. They play all day long and very rarely disagree on anything. We finally put them in a bedroom together because they are honestly inseparable. Maddy helps Kynzee do everthing. She has so much concern for her sisters she would do anything for them. Maddy tells me when one of them is going to get hurt or when they are hungry or just when she thinks they need some attention. I love it! She is the big sister and will always be. I am so glad i had my girls so close together because they are such good friends.

8. And here is Maddy playing with Kenna. She stops what she is doing if she knows Kenna is awake because she wants to play with her. She loves Kenna! The day Maddy sees her sisters for the first time in the hospital she has loved them and wanted to be with them. You can tell she has been separated from them for to long and she is always so happy to see them again. Maddy has so much love for everyone, and I am so happy she brings that love into our home.

Kynzee Kate 2 years old (will be 3 in one month)

1. This is Kynzee! She always wears sunglasses. She is so shy and when she gets around people she wants to just crawl into a cave. She wears her glasses because she doesn't think poeple can see her. She is especially shy around her Uncles! everyone of them. when they come to the house she will take off running to hide from them.

2. Kynzee has a soft heart. She gets her feelings hurt very easy. We all have to be careful what we say because she will start crying and we won't even know why. But her soft heart makes her very loving towards others especially when someone is hurt. she kisses everything better, she is a sweetheart.

3. We have a new love in our home and that is Strawberry Shortcake! Kynzee pretends that she is Strawberry. She also pretends she is a princess and a dancer. She has an imagination just like Maddy so the two of them together make quite a pair. You wouldn't beleive the places they go or the people they become when their minds get together.

4. Oh Boy this is Kynz and one of her moods! Kynzee has so many different moods, but most of the time she is in a "time out" mood where she will either put her face in her hands and just not look at you for awhile or she will go to her room for a quick 10 seconds and then she will be back and ready to play. You can make Kynzee mad very easy but she also forgets why she is mad very quickly. She brings quite the personality into our home.

5. Auntie Katie....O how Kynzee loves her. When Kynzee sees Auntie Katie she runs to her and tells her how much she loves her. Kynzee has her favorite people and Katie just happens to be one of them.

6. Kynzee loves Maddy! She hates it when Maddy has to go to school. She asks every morning "Does maddy go to school today?" and if I say yes she will pout the rest of the morning. She is Maddy's little sidekick and she will do anything if Maddy is doing it. She giggles and has so much fun with Maddy.

7. Kynzee builds tents all the time. When there is a blanket laying around she wants it built into a tent. This might be because Maddy likes to build tents also, but the two of them can build some pretty fancy tents. They have a tent that is always standing and they still have to build their own.

8. Kynzee has the greatest love for her baby sister. She is so gentle and sweet with her. She gives her soft kisses on the head everytime she walks by her. She touches her soft baby hands and just loves on her everyday.
Now I have to add two more things about Kynzee because I am not done...
9. She loves gum and suckers and she asks me for them all day long!!!!! Kynzee will take my purse into her closet and dig for gum and then leave my purse all torn apart and when I find it, it is a mess!!!
10. Kynzee tells her Grandma how beautiful she is everytime she sees her. Grandma will have a pretty necklace on and Kynzee will say "I like your necklace Grandma" or "I like your shoes" she gives compliments so sincerly and sweetly she is a joy in our life.

Hi Natalie! Of course I know who you are! My mom is always talking about your cute little family since she's in your ward! :) She's right, your girls are adorable!! As for my blog banners, I just make them myself. I use a program called scrapbook max. You can get a free trial version at scrapbookmax.com I just download all the freebies off of sites and use those to make my pages etc. I haven't really been digital scrapbooking very long, and if I can do it, anyone can do it! haha. I know alot of girls use adobe photoshop, but I didn't have the patience to figure it all out, maybe when my kids get a little older. lol. If you have more ?s you can e-mail me my address is www.sunshineinmysoul_33@yahoo.com Thanks for the comment on my blog, you are so sweet!

Hey thanks for playing along. I know it kinda took me a long time to put together what I wanted to say about my girls but it was FUN! Your girls are so cute. I think that is so cute how Maddy calls Briley "Briley Sue", I think that is what Mrs. Long always calls her at school even though she doesn't even have a middle name. Thanks again for playing along with the tag.

Your girls are way cute! It is fun to see how different they are. I have a neice who used to wear sunglasses and think no one could see her either. I have always thought kids thinking is pretty neat, I know sometimes I wish I could do that!:) I liked your quote by the way.
