Happy 7th Birthday my little Maddie.....

Madison had her birthday party yesterday and she wanted to go swimming like her big sister did for her birthday. So she decided to have her party at the Rec Center where the kids could all swim and go down waterslides. They had so much fun, and I just love seeing my baby have so many good friends she enjoys being around, and seeing her grow up into a beautiful being..... I just love her to pieces.

I love love love my kids....

I love love love my kids. They are all so sweet and adorable... I love them all and can't get enough of them. Just sayin'..........

End of the Summer...

It's been a very busy summer and haven't posted anything in a while. This summer was full of insane craziness, but tons of fun. We had a blast, but we're looking forward to school starting (the girls start Monday the 17th, and Chad starts Wed. the 26th). Here are a few pictures from our Arizona trip we took from July 23 - Aug 5th
