My baby is 6!

Today Madison turned 6. Wow. How time flies. This is us at Texas Roadhouse tonight. We took her out to dinner with some friends for her birthday and had a great time! They put her on the saddle and gave her a big "YEE HAH"
These pictures are a little out of order but this is Madison. 7 lbs. 4 oz. We weresure excited to get our baby girl!
THis is Madi at age four. She sure has been so much fun. She is our little princess but can hang with her brothers like the best of them.


Look at our little girl! What a Q-T

This was this morning modeling off her new church dress, we went as a family to the new Draper Temple, then went to Build a Bear where we got Fluffy! madis new Bear! I will post pictures later, cuz they are on my friends camera. I sure am happy with my lil girl. She loves to hang out with me still, not like her brothers, I love this little girl and wish she wouldn't grow up so fast! I love you Madi Kay!!! Happy Birthday sweetheart.

More pictures!!

This was a fun night. They played music really loud for about ten minutes and had all the waiters march around in a parade and they had us swing our napkins above are heads. Just a silly pic. of the two of us.
One night they had a party out by the pool. There was dancing and everyone had glow sticks and just alot of food. I can't believe how good they present the food.


This is one of the dress up nights. It was fun to see everyone in there best dressed.

This is us at the pool party. We even got up and did a line dance, i am sure we looked ridiculous but it was fun.








More photos of the trip

This is the 4 of us in Puerto Rico. We had taken a tour around the city and were able to get out and take pictures every once in awhile. I could not get this picture to rotate but anyways, my father in law usually is not a fan of the water, but on our last day he surprised us by putting on his suit and coming into the water with us. I think it helped that the water was so blue and even if you walked out a mile you could still touch the bottom and even see the bottom. The sand was a pretty white color and even in the water you could just look down and see whatever was down there, which wasn't much... We had a few little fish swim around us.
The only soda that they served on ship was Coke, Diet coke, sprite and a nasty orange drink so when we got off ship this day, I went and found me a Mt. Dew. I wish we would have filled our back pack with them but we didn't. This was us getting back onto the ship. They were strict about us getting back on at a certain time so the ship could stay on schedule and sadly for one couple, me and curt watched them get left behind. I still wonder about that couple and wonder how they ever made it back to Florida. I felt so bad for them.


This was at Grand Turk. What a beautiful place. We just had the best time and are so thankful for Ben and Jill for taking us on the best vacation. We were so hesitant about going on a trip without the kids but my family stepped up and took them for the week so we could go and enjoy each other.


This sign says "I wish... I could stay here forever!" If i would have had my kids with us I really could have stayed there forever. It was the most relaxing trip and such a beautiful place and all the people were so nice. I loved the Jamaicans that worked on the islands.







Our cruise to the Bahamas

What a fun week. We looked forward to our cruise for about 9 months and now it's over. I am so sad. We had such a great time.My inlaws took Curt and I on a cruise. We left on Valentine's day and we went to Grand Turk, Puerto Rico, St. Thomas and the Bahamas. Every place was so pretty and we ended up snorkeling and going on a submarine ride. This picture is of me by the pool with my Virgin Pina- Colada. I loved just laying out and soaking up the sun. It was about 80 degrees and just perfect to sit out on the deck with a good book. This is Curt and I getting off the ship in St. Thomas to do a little shopping to find the kids something to take back home. We sailed with Holland America on the the new " Eurodam" The ship is a new one it just started sailing in July. Look how gorgeous the water was. It was so blue and you could look right down to the bottom.
This is on one of the nights that we dressed up for dinner. Curt and his dad, Ben, looked so handsome.


This was are very first day on the ship and it was Valentine''s Day so they served heart shaped rolls. Curt and I had sooo much fun together, it was like having a second honeymoon, just with the inlaws there though Haha


This is us out at sea when we were heading into the Bahamas. It was so pretty. The water did get pretty rough on this day and I got a little sea sick but only for a bit and then it didn't bother me the rest of the time.







Brayden in Mexico

Brayden was invited to go with my mom and step dad to Mexico last month and these are afew shots of them. If your wondering what Karly, my sister, has all over her, well Brayden picked up a bottled of shaving cream thinking it was a air freshner, i don't know how he got confused, but decided to spray it and see what it smelled like. Here is Brayden holding it up! I usually just use soap to shave and we have cans of air freshners but i still thought he was smarter then that. Anyways, Karly was just innocently brushing her teeth when this happened and I am sure she was thinking " What just happened"
This is a cute picture of Brayden, Karly and Karly's boyfriend Nate. You guys are so awesome and I just want to say thanks again for taking such good care of Brayden. You guys stepped up and took on the parent roll since I couldn't be there and I appreciate you both.



One of the days they went and had surfing lessons and Brayden is good at about everything he tries and of course this is a picture of him on his first try. He did really well and had a great time. They played lots of volleyball on the beach, played some soccer and basketball and just had a blast in the ocean. Thanks mom and Gregg for inviting him to go. Next year we are all going.!!!
