Birthday! Birthday! Birthday!

Madeline's gift from us was the new American girl doll Kit from the 1930's. She was so shocked and excited to get her. She is a really cute doll she has little freckles on her nose just like Madeline.I had to put this picture in because Mark always teases me about the dolls that I am really getting them for me. ( ok maybe I am) Any way this was my mom and sister oohing and awing over the doll clothes and little shoes, and Jesse stuck in the middle.
And this is JESSE the Pinata boy..

The Birthday Cake

Madeline came with me to the bakery and designed the cake herself. What a great job she did. It was really cute.
We had a pool party with all her cousins and Brynn and Conner. I told Maddy we were only going to have a family party this year and she said " thats fine but we have to have Brynn and Conner because mom they are like are family" What a cutie.

Happy 7th Birthday Madeline

Today is Madeline's 7th Birthday . I can 't believe it has been seven years since she was born. It seems like yesturday. When I look at her I still can't believe she is my daughter that I have a seven year old. We have been so blessed to have her in our lives. She brings a so much joy and love and laughter. She has a great imagination and I love to hide and listen to her pretend play. She was so excited this morning for her birthday, and as you can see Olivia was too.These are the earrings and indian baby Nana and Papa gave her. When Maddy opened the gift she said " no one has ever given me such a special gift before. Thanks Nana and Papa we love you!

Triple Threat

This week Madeline had a musical theater class called triple threat. She did such a great job and sang Zippity Do Da to everyone. Man not to brag but she has such a great little voice. I even started to cry.

First day of summer school

Today was the girls first day of summer school. Olivia was so excited to be going to school with Madeline. Even though she is not in her same class she was so brave and marched in and took her seat. Not even a tear. Madeline on the other hand stressed the entire way to school and she has been going there all year. A mystery to me ..... Can you see the look of distress on Madeline's face or what.

Olivia sneaking a drink

I had to post this because it was so funny. Olivia loves to drink our drinks and we don't let he. We saw what she was doing and pretended not too. She took her straw and put it in Marks drink so Mark leaned in and took a sip too. Good thing I had my camera on hand.

Take Me Out To The Ball Game!

This was a fun night we went to the St. George Road Runners game, and our cousins from Salt Lake are visiting so they came too what a blast we had.Madeline caught a bag a sunflower seeds. You would of thought it was best thing ever. She was so excited, and didn't even know what it was.

Last day of shcool

Today was Madeline and Olivia's last day of school. I can't believe it's summer already.


This is Madeline's first grade teacher Miss Michelle. What a great teacher she is. Madeline had tears in her eyes when we left. It was really sweet. I remember feeling that way too.
Olivia Graduates Preschool! I don't know why but I think it's so funny. Preschool Graduation???
