Yay For Maddie! The Day Has Finally Arrived


Has it really been 3 months since my last blog post?! Oh well there's no better post to re-kick things off with then this one:

"The glory of God is intelligence, or, in other words, light and truth." (D&C 93:36)

We just want to say how much we all love & are going to miss you, Madison, as you go off to NAU (Northern Arizona University) on Wednesday. You have been such a blessing, helper to our family & a wonderful big sister!

Faith says she is going to miss you the most because you're the only sister that doesn't fight with her. Sara is going to miss wearing all your clothes & you picking her up from school. Ashley is going to miss you taking her to WalMart late in the night to buy stuff for school the next day & other fun late night things you've done. Adam is going to miss you taking him to the movies. I'm going to miss everything but especially your beautiful smile & all your help driving the kids around & running to the store for me.

While we'll miss you, we are very excited for the new adventure you are embarking on in this new stage of your life! We know fun & enriching experiences await you. NAU doesn't know how stinkin' lucky it is to have you up there!

I'm not gonna lie, as a mother, I have so many emotions right now it's crazy! This video really express it all *tear*



Here's Maddie's 18th B-day video. Give it a look-see. Where did the time go?

NAU Snow Trip!

We took a quick trip up to Flagstaff to play in the snow & check out around NAU, where Madison will be going this Fall. It was just Ryan, Faith, Adam & me because Maddie & Sara had band & Ashley had a birthday party. We left late Wednesday night & got back Thursday afternoon.

We also want to take this time to wish a happy New Year to all our friends & family. Thanks for your love & friendship. We wish you the best in 2010!!!

This is a little sledding area that was right off the main road. It was just perfect for the kids.


I love this picture!



Amazingly huge icicles were all over the place.
