"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

Birthday Party for Maddy

I am so behind on Maddy’s birthday party, I mean her birthday was on the 7th and here I am the end of the month. Well we put her party off because we went to the rodeo on her birthday instead of having a party and then we had to wait until Josh was off work to have her party so here we are. On her actual birthday I let her open presents from Josh and I and her sisters had made her some cute little cards so that was fun for her to have on her birthday. Then for her party we had family over and it was a blast for her. I handed my brother the camera and he took pictures for me which worked out very nice I think I will do that next time. Maddy wanted cupcakes from the Cocoa Bean so I got a big cupcake for her and she wanted the others decorated in pink and that’s what we did. It turned out fun for her. Josh’s Mom gave us a “You are special today” plate a long time ago because they had one when they were growing up and on their birthday they get to use it, it is fun for them so that’s why we used the special red plate. Maddy got lots of fun things and had fun with her cousins, thanks to everyone who came and wished Maddy a Happy Birthday it was a Happy 7th Birthday for her!!!

That looked like a great party. I can taste the cupcakes through the screen. We had a "You Are Special" plate too. LOVED IT!!!! Can't wait to use one in my own little family too. Once again Nat... I see you made it in front of the camera. So very proud of my younger than me cousin.
