My little girl turns "5"!

Yesterday was Madison's 5th Birthday. I can't believe she is already 5! Holy crap that flew by! It seems like yesterday that I had my baby shower, went to Applebees, and my water broke the minute my big butt stood up! (I still had about a month to go) We went to the hospital at 8pm that night and by 9 the next morning she decided the only way she was coming was via c-section! She was born at 9:56 am, weighing in at 6lbs. 15 oz., 19 inches long.


Newborn Madi!


This picture is her 6 month old picture...she was so fat! I have a picture of her in a swimsuit I'm going to post when I find it! It is hilarious!


1 year old...eating her birthday cake!


2 years old!

3 years old!

4 years old! I realized I take way too many pictures of her by the front door...I better start changing it up! LOL.

My beautiful baby girl today at 5 years old! There are so many things we love about Madi, but the top 5 are:

1. She is the sweetest girl ever and she gets along well with everyone.

2. She has the cutest little smile and dimples, and a cute little laugh.

3. She is a great big sister and teaches Luke the alphabet, colors, you name it.

4. She is a carbon copy of me and even has a lot of my same mannerisms...which sometimes isn't good!

5. She says the best prayers and thanks Jesus for just about everything...it's very cute!

Happy Birthday Madi Rose! I'll post family party pictures later!

Disneyland

Madi & Lukester with Mickey!

We had a fun time at Disneyland! Madi and Luke are both at a fun age! Their favorite rides were Peter Pan, Buzz Lightyear(very cute ride), and Teacups. We got to the hotel on Sunday night and unpacked and relaxed. On Monday we were planning on going to the beach but it was raining ALL day. So instead we went to Downtown Disney and watched Hotel for Dogs, ate and went shopping. Tuesday we went to Disneyland and it was bright and sunny and perfect weather (thank goodness)! We were at the park the whole day and had a great time. The highlight of my trip was seeing Seal and Heidi Klum! I was exiting the Dumbo ride and Seal was coming through the exit. I did a double take and realized it was him...and then saw tiny, skinny, beautiful Heidi Klum standing there with another one of their kids! I wanted to take pictures so bad, but I had Mike telling me not to! He was just ticked off that they were walking on rides while all of us had to wait! Then we saw them about 45 minutes later again and I had the perfect opportunity to get at picture, AND... I didn't! Mike isn't star crazy like I am! I was so excited to see them. Anyway, we had a wonderful, much needed vacation! Check out our slideshow below!

Little monster...

I can't even begin to describe this little stinker today:) I'm just grateful the day is done, and let's pray that tomorrow brings me much more patience and Luke a lot less energy:) Between spilling my diet coke at Target, throwing multiple tantrums, trying to rip my earrings out....I'm ready to pull my hair out:) And why does he always do this at my favorite shopping place, Target? NOT FAIR! With that being said...he can be a sweetheart and loves giving kisses...I hope we both get some much needed rest tonight! LOL.
