On a roll....

Madison got her 1st "big kid" bike a week ago and is so proud of it! It has streamers, a basket and a ladybug bell. She is like her mom though...likes pretty things but just likes to observe them. She has had a couple of spills and now is scared to go too fast or make turns. I don't know what happened...she was so brave as a little 2 year old.




Don't worry she does have a helmet...this was just a "test" ride.

Sunday Afternoon Delight

Funny story...Madison learned a new song in Primary yesterday about Jesus being baptized. Well when we got home from Church and finished lunch Madison went outside on the back deck to play. All of a sudden I hear her singing "Jesus came to John the Batptist, in Judea long ago. And was baptized-by immersion in the river Jordan's flow" at the TOP of her lungs. Now this wouldn't have been so embarassing, but my neighbor was out sunbathing and trying to enjoy a peaceful, Sunday afternoon. Now once thru the song would've been fine, but Madison sang it over and over and over again for 20 minutes. Yes I should've stopped her, but it was cute and I figured that she was being a little missionary. Now to top it all off...this is what she was wearing....






I love my little girl!!

Mother's Day

I'm a little late on this post...but it's been purcolating in my head since Mother's Day. Madison's preschool class held a Mother's Day Muffin tea in honor of Mother's Day and I didn't think that motherhood could make you so proud or bring you so much love. The cute little 4 year olds sang lovely "mom" songs to us, served us with muffins, and presented us with pictures of our families in frames that they had designed and painted themselves. Then all the moms sat on the ground for reading time and each had their dear sweet child in the laps while Ms. Steed read us a great story on moms. What a special day with my daughter and I'm so glad I was able to be a recipient of so much love.

Singing her heart out
