Summer Fun

So far the summer is half over and we have had some fun! Maddie loves to play with her friends right up until bedtime. She FINALLY turned six. She has been waiting for her birthday ever since last year. She got lots of fun toys including the slip'n'slide Ryan got her and a sprinkler to run through. Every Thursday they go to Grandma Dablings (black grandma) house to play. There they always have a full day of fun like swimming, feeding the horses, movies, and the playhouse muesum. And of course, we had a very fun fourth of July. Jack is quite the character. He loves to rough house and he loves to play with Maddie and her friends. Its funny, but when he gets around boys he's not sure what to do. We did find a friend for him too though, Riley's friend Derek has a boy about Jacks age and they play good together. So we have someone to have a playdate with, Yea! Sam is just a fun little soul. He is really a big smiler, we are waiting for the first giggle, he is so close. (Maddie can't wait either so that a new fairy will be born) So far, me, Sam and Maddie went to Lake Powell with the Porters and Riley and Jack went to the cabin. We split up just because Riley couldn't get off work and we were worried about Jack on the houseboat. But this weekend we are going to the cabin together so that will be fun.Here are some pictures of our fun summer days.

Happy Birthday Madison!

Today is Madions Birthday. We celebrated with family tonight with the Poters, Dablings, and Grandma Beers. Tonight we had dutch oven potatoes, beans, and chicken, and salad, fruit, and pie and cake for dessert. Maddie then opened her presents and she got a lot of great stuff, thanks you guys! She loved the slip n' slide uncle Ryan and new aunt Emilee gave her, so much so that they set it up and started sliding on it in their clothes (they meaning, Riley, Ryan, Jack and Madison) great gift Ryan and you can come over and play with it whenever you want to. She loved all the clothes she got from Grandma Dabling, Great Grandma Beers and Grandma Porter. She got some cool sticker books from Chad and Melissa, some workbooks from Grandma and Grandpa Porter. She loves her Sleeping Beauty barbie and horse from Mimi, Timmy, and Channdra. She got fairies and pet shop animals and a my little pony. Wow what a great birthday finished with a homemade cake that was supposed to look like a round of Swiss cheese. (Due to the ratatouille movie theme that we will see tomorrow with her friends. ) All in all it was a great day. Thank you Heavenly Father for all of our blessings!
Happy Birthday Madison! I love you.
