Madison Cheerleading 2010

This is Madison's 4th year of cheering for CBYAA and she has taken more interest in getting the moves and cheers down right. Very proud of her!!!

Madison's Birthday Party

Party was a SUCCESS!!! Just got home from a very, long day. It was so nice to see family and to catch up on life.

Madison's birthday started off at the Pottery By Hands place in town with 6 of her friends. They had fun painting flowers and flip-flops. After that was completed we headed back to my parents to swim, eat and open presents.

I will be taking her to the movies and dinner on Friday, September 17th for her real Birthday!

I had to add the one and only picture I got of Carter on her BD.

September 17, 2010

I took Madison to the movies (Nanny McPhee Returns), shopping (which she hated every minute of!), and to dinner. We had a great time together. I got only a few pictures of her on her actual birthdate, so I figured I would post one. Many thanks for the gifts, cards, and the phone calls.

Madison & Bear

A more recent picture of Bear. He is now 5 1/2 months now. We took him to Petsmart this past weekend to get groomed. I think he looks like an adult now.

Carter's 14th Birthday

On September 25th we are going to celebrate Carter's 14th Birthday with family. Too old for a theme and he is not into inviting friends over.

So I ask him what he wants for his birthday and he replies a shotgun and hunting clothes. I think his Uncle Brandon and LaShaad have given him the hunting fever. I never thought in my entire life that I would have a child that really wants to be a hunter.


Pictures will be posted as soon as the day gets here!

Madison's 10th Birthday

This is a little early, but I wanted to get it out there so I wouldn't forget. Once we have the party on Sunday I will post pictures.

This year Madison decided to have her Birthday Party at the Pottery Place in town. The girls will be painting 2 pieces of pottery (a flip-flop and a flower). Her theme is flip-flops and beach balls. After the pottery place we are heading back to my parent's house for food and swimming. My parent's just got there outdoor living space completed, so we will be taking advantage of the shiny, new grill!

Hope all of her friends and family can make it!
