Raise the roof!

Imagination

I unplugged the battery to the four wheeler but he gets on it pretending like he's going over huge hills!

King of the long john's!

He loves the crown Madison got from Chuck E. Cheese & a pair of long johns I found getting some winter clothes out! He was trying to put them on himself and really wants to wear them even though it's not cold enough. He's so adorable in them but won't stay still for a half a second so every picture is blurry! Oh, well!

Hilarious!

When we had lunch with Marco's cousin Bobby we laughed so hard because he had camo crocs on just like Drew's!!!

Roses for our Madison Rose!

Marco bought Madison some roses for her B-day! Her reaction........her smile tells it all!!!!! Beyond thrilled!

Chuck E. Cheese Party

Princess cupcakes that Madison helped me make! Little castles, high heel shoes and the crowns say Princess!

Drew LOVED Chuck E. Cheese, he was really fascinated by him!

Madison and Austin

Hannah Kate

Joshua

Caleb having fun on the helicopter ride!

Proof that I was there! Sometimes while we are looking at pictures Madison says, "Mommy where were you?" Behind the camera sweetie!

Grandpa Dave

Having fun!

Then meltdown because she got scared, partially from Chuck E. Cheese coming out and the lady hosting our party grabbed her to pick her up as she asked her to stand up, I think she thought it was Chuck E. picking her up! I might have freaked out too! Ha, ha!

After about 5 min. ahhhhhh, back to normal, sort of!

Madison was still to upset to go in the ticket blaster so Hannah Kate jumped at the chance!!! Glad someone wanted to do it!

I love this picture of them!!!

Grandpa Dave and Drew

So excited opening her presents at home!!!

Happy Birthday Madison!!!!!!

Our 1st baby is 4 years old today!!! I really can't believe it, where does the time go!
Madison this has been the most amazing 4 yrs. of our life. Daddy and I are so proud of the wonderful girl you are! Beautiful inside and out, full of energy, wonder and love!!! We pray that God will continue to bless you and grow you up in His love and goodness! Happy, happy, happy birthday!!!!!! We love you beyond words sweetheart!

Family Wedding

We went up to PA for Marco's cousins wedding. There was a ton of flooding in Harrisburg so where they had the wedding originally scheduled was cancelled. In only two days they switched everything to a friends house on top of a mountain (seemed pretty flood proof)! It rained a little bit but thankfully stopped right before the ceremony! It was a beautiful wedding!

We made a tunnel for his cousin to run through, kinda silly but the kids thought it was awesome!

Yes, Drew is wearing his Camo crocs! They are about the only pair of shoes he wants to wear and I had a feeling he would end up with them on at the wedding!

Marco did a great job with a Bible reading his cousin Jason asked him to do! So proud of you honey!

More Fam. time!

(Bottom left) Sophie, Drew, Emma on Kate's lap, Hannah in pink, John in green. (Back row) Jack, Madi, Gamma & Max! This is only eight out of the thirteen of Marco's grandfather's great grandchildren!!!!!! I think that's amazing! Everyone had a great time and the kids loved running around playing baseball, etc.

Adults added in, Marco, his grandpa, me, Marco's dad, his cousins Nina & Chad!

Family time in PA!

Madison, Emma, Drew, Jack, Ashley holding Jax & Jude, John & Mason (on the floor)! I think trying to get one kid to look at the camera is hard but 7 was ridiculous! The adults taking pictures pulled out all the stops to get their attention with Indian chants, candy & cake bribes, clapping, dancing! It was hilarious for Ashley & John to watch all of us, I'm sure we looked crazy! It was a really fun night!
