Halfway to driving......

Halfway to driving.  It scares me then I think of it like that.  And because it scares me, I haven't told Madison to do the math. Madison turned eight in July.  We celebrated her 8th birthday with her first sleepover at our house.  She had three friends and Charlotte.  Everyone got along well and Bug was included without any problem (see - there is some sisterly love). 

The party included swimming, pizza, tie dye shirts and movies.  They finally went to sleep around 12:30 and were up by 6am for a donut run. It was fun, but I was tired the next day.  Charlotte is now telling us she is going to have a sleepover for her fifth birthday...... No way - not quite old enough!

Happy Birthday Shea!

Look what I got!

A pose after the pinata!

Yes - it was used within 24 hours!

Disney 2011

The beginning of summer brought us a much needed family vacation to Disneyworld.  The girls (and Dewayne and I) had such a fun time.  Two months later and they are still talking about it.... I guess that means all went well!

Below are just a few of the hundreds and hundreds of pictures we took.


The teacups - a smile every time!



At Epcot before lunch

She has outgrown princesses and is back to the classic characters!

Dinner with the gang!

And - a bit of sugar.....

Smile!

The umbrella made it taste that much better!

Big Thunder Mountain Railroad - Madison's favorite! 
Dewayne rode it with her one evening again and again and again......

Hanging out at the hotel!

Charlotte entered as herself and left as Cinderella!
