Maddie turned 5!

It was Maddies 5th birthday today!! I absolutely can NOT believe she is 5 already. I get very teary thinking about it actually. Im just not sure Im ready for her to be such a big girl yet. But she is and she is absolutely beautiful and strong and caring and such a funny girl to be around. I really feel so very blessed to have been chosen to be her mother. We are told so ofter what a good and sweet girl she is and how adorable she is and that she should be in movies because of her fun personality and boy can she put on the drama just for fun!
We had a great day today. We let her choose what she wanted to do and she chose the zoo. We hadnt been there for a very long time and it was in the 70's so it was a PERFECT day to go! The 2 things she wanted to do there was see the penguins and ride the train. So we road the train and of course found the penguins. She stared and stared at them for so long. It was funny because she is a mover just like me she doesnt like to sit and stare at the animals forever she looks and then moves on BUT with the penguins I think she watched them for about 5 minutes until one of them pooped on its friend and she was done after that!! It was funny when she looked at me and said "did you see that" (in a whisper) like the penguin should have been embarrassed!
She requested scones for breakfast hot dogs for lunch (which we had at the zoo) and Red Robin for dinner and cupcakes for desert. So her wish was our command though with her cupcake she only licked off the icing! At 8:30 she was asking to go to bed so Im thinking she had a pretty good day because she was so wore out! So So love this girl so much and I just know she will turn in to a very beautiful, smart, caring, young women but Im glad weve still got time for her to be our sweet little bundle of fire!

She has been begging for a Nintendo DS forever so we finally got her one! It is pink!!
She really wasnt to impressed until she found this present last!
After getting dressed she was right on it
Right after waking us up at SIX this morning she was yelling Im 5 Im 5!!
YAAA PRESENTS!

I think Kinley is almost as excited as you, Maddie, that you are having a birthday. For a straight week, she keeps asking if it's Aug. 8th yet. :) Thanks for being a great friend to her!
