"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

Maddy's 5th Birthday










Maddy had a wonderful birthday. She got so many funny things to play with and had a blast playing with cousins. Maddy has turned into such a funny little girl. She wants to dress herself and do her own hair, so sometimes she looks like a little rag doll. But it sure isn't worth the fight to make her change her clothes into something that matches or change her hair so she looks half way decent. So if you ever see Maddy looking a little crazy it is because I let her be the boss for the day. And today on her birthday was one of those days. Maddy is such a sweet heart and we love her to death. She wanted a Hello Kitty birthday party and it was very interesting because we have three little boy cousins living with us and they didn't know who Hello Kitty was but they sure liked her. Little Max was so cute and blew out Maddy's candles because Maddy wasn't blowing fast enough. We had a wonderful day celebrating our anniversary and Maddy's birthday. Maddy says thank you for all the birthday gifts and cards, it was the best 5th birthday ever!

You have so many cute posts I haven't seen! I did't know Maddy was born on your anniversary. That is so neat! It look like your family has been having lots of fun these last few weeks of summer :)
