Happy Birthday Princess!

My Dearest Madison,

Today you are 4!!! I can't believe it! You have grown up too fast. Way too fast!

Just 4 short years ago today, at this time, I was laying in the hospital, in recovery, waiting to hold my baby girl! You were born at 10:52 p.m. on Thursday, May 12th. I remember Daddy wanted to hold off until midnight so you could be a Friday the 13th baby! I said NO WAY, I'm not waiting any longer, let's do this! LOL.

I remember Daddy's words when they pulled you out, his very first words when he layed eyes on you were "she's beautiful" and "look at those legs!" You were so tiny but your legs were so long.

Four years later, you are more beautiful then ever. Your smile lights up a room and can make any kind of sadness turn into happyness. Those cute dimples of yours are to die for. And those curls of yours are too precious.

I hope you have had a happy birthday. This morning when you woke up, I told you Happy Birthday.... you are 4 years old today! And you looked at me with a big smile and said "THANKS MOM!" What happened to you calling me mommy or momma... now it's just MOM? You are getting so grown up! Today you spent your 4th birthday at Disneyland, just the three of us. We wanted your day to be special, and all about you... and we thought Chad would have more fun with Grandma, being spoiled and having one on one time with her. We were able to go on all the rides, rides you had never even been on before because you were either to short or too scared. You even went on Thunder Mountain and Splash Mountain! Your favorite by far though was Soaring Over California. It's funny how every ride you got off of you said was your favorite :) You made us proud today.

We love you so much baby girl, and are so proud of you.

xoxo ~Mommy & Daddy (or should I say Mom & Dad :)

M.I.A. in the blogging world!

Sorry I havn't posted anything lately. I've been kinda bummed out because my laptop took a crap. I'm not sure if I've lost everything I had on my computer or not. Chris was using it the other day and it froze up and he turned it off w/out properly closing down and when he went to turn it back on it went to a weird black screen asking us if we wanted to log in in safe mode. We've tried everything. Looks like something happened to windows when he turned it off. Thang god I saved most of my pictures to our external hard drive last month. The only ones I could lose are the pictures from easter, which I'm so bummed about. As soon as we get some extra money and time we will have to get it looked at. In the meantime, we are using Chris's computer, which is sooooooo much nicer then mine because he used it strictly for his music and recording.

So, other then that, not too much going on. Our lease is up August first, so we are going to try and find a bigger place, hoping rent comes down. We are in desperate need of a place w/ a washer and dryer. I think once I have that I will be happy! Would love a yard for the kids to play in, somewhere we could put either a little play house or sand box. We are ready for a change so I'm excited to start looking.

I will try and post some pic's soon.
