Portland trip... the zoo!

Happy 9th Birthday Madeline Rose!

I'm amazed at how fast time goes by....  I am also amazed that I can remember so many of the details of the day you were born.  Every day that goes by you continue to amaze me.  You are growing up to be so much better than I ever expected... you are sweeter, kinder, more patient, more understanding, and you have a bigger heart than I ever thought possible.  You just amaze me with your how smart you are, how passionate you are for life.  You are such a beautiful person inside and out and I thank God for letting me share your life with you. 

Today was an amazing day.... at exactly 7:14am, as we were singing Happy Birthday to you, I just couldn't stop smiling... I am so incredibly lucky to be your mommy... I feel so blessed. :-)  I love you Madeline... forever and always. XOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOX

This is the second bee sting for Miss Lucy of the Summer... I sure hope the stings don't continue to get worse!  Poor baby... :-(

Pool time!

Dragonflies

I have never seen so many dragonflies, especially red dragonflies, since Daisy passed away.  It's probably coincidental that I have seen so many lately, but I would like to think that this is Daisy's way of saying hi to us..

Folsom Rodeo!
