Madeleine is......well, Madeleine is Madeleine. She's lovable, funny, EXTREMELY emotional, loves flowers with a passion, all out crazy, a true girly-girl, and a total lunatic!

You've heard of Mad Madame Mimm?

Well, she's Mad Madeleine.

Yep, these pictures say it allWhenever I comment on her wild and crazy ways Mom and Dad say,

"You were just like that when you were her age. In fact you were WORSE!!!!"

I have no memory of being THAT crazy, so they must be wrong...

Ok, maybe they were right.

Anyway.
Tonight we were heading home from town when from the back of the van Madeleine, in a fit of craziness, let out this insane laugh. Mom started saying how I was a lot worse than her and how she use to worry about me growing up into this crazy, uncontrollable adult (which I did not). Cody, who was sitting behind us, decided to give his opinion.
"Mom, you know how you said you didn't like how Kacie was as a kid?
Aslan says, 'What's done is done."

Thanks Cody!

A Fun Reunion!!!!!

Kelly, Daniel and Caiah were just up for a long weekend visit! And we had a blast!!!!! We didn't tell the kids they were coming. Just that we were doing some shopping in Albany and we had a surprise for them. They were going to a place they've never been to before. That place being the inside of the airport. Once inside we had them all sit down so we could wait for all the passengers to walk out then we'll finish our tour. :-) You should have seen their faces when they saw Kel and Dan!!!! Total shock! We though for sure they would scream and yell, but they did the absolute opposite. Stood there and stared saying, "That's not them!" Of course the shock instantly wore off and all the "Kelly!!! Daniel!! Micaiah!!!" began.....and it didn't stop till they went to bed. :-)

We have a video of the kids reaction to seeing them and I would post it but because of dial-up it takes way too long. So here's a couple pictures. I'll post some more later.

Me and my buddy..... What a cutie!!!!!

What was so sweet was that he would go to me more then any of the others.

(That's a plus for when I go out there in Oct.)

Last nights sunset

Lesson Learned

When it comes to getting a suntan, ignorance is blister.

I found this today while skimming through a book of quotes. Although it’s very true it doesn’t fit my situation. It should read as follows;

When it comes to a suntan, stupidity is blister.

A few days back I decided to sit outside for a bit and get some sun. I was only out for a little over an hour, but it was enough. By that evening my face was so red, I looked like one of the Indians from Disney’s Peter Pan! (but this little Indian was not heap glad) I have gotten some pretty decent sunburns before, but nothing like this. My chin and around the corners of my mouth blistered…ouch!!! And my eyelids got a little swollen. So, why did I change the quote to stupidity??? I KNOW that I burn easily and I WASN’T wearing sunscreen….yep, it was stupid. But I learned my lesson and will never do that again.

Here's something new Dieneke :-)

" ...you have done more for me than any creed could have done to make me good, and more than any fate could have done to make me happy. You have done it without a touch, word, sign. You have done it by being yourself. Perhaps that is what a friend means after all..."
