Madison Leigh turns 5!

We had a small party for Madison on her birthday. Just cake and a trip to ChuckeCheese. She had the big summer party in July to celebrate so this was just a day to do a little something to make her feel special. We went and played with Ryan and Jaden for a couple hours at ChuckeChees. She had a blast! She danced in front of the camera a lot! She loved seeing her self on TV! It was really cute. We had pizza and salad then came home for some cake. She had a nice time and I am glad she understood about the half birthday party and was ok with only getting one present. She is such a big girl and I love her so so much. Madison and I have a special bond I am not sure what it is exactly but she seems to prefer me over others she always wants to be with me and she comes and sleeps with me every night. She is an amazing little person! I am truly blessed to be her Mommy!

Holiday Traditions

Every year for the last five years we have made a trip to Thornton's Tree farm to cut down our Christmas tree. It is something we love to do and the kids enjoy it so much. They have animals, hot cocoa, hay rides and the most beautiful trees. It never takes us long to find one. This year Madison picked our tree out. it is one fat tree!! It was a little tall but we made it work. I love the smell of a fresh tree! I have thought about getting a fake one and I just can't bring my self to do it! Here are a few pictures of our fun day!

Mod monkey party for Jacob!

My baby boy turned one on November 25, Thanksgiving! It was bitter sweet. The first birthday is such a huge milestone yet I was a little sad it came so fast. I was hoping he would be a baby for so much longer! I will never again have another baby turning one, never have a baby crawl for the first time walk for the first time. It made me a little sad but i was so excited at the same time. I really enjoyed his party and watching him eat his cupcake. He is such a joy to me and I am so in love with him! I am excited to watch him grow into a toddler little boy teen and a man. I hope he stays close to me always!
Happy Birthday baby boy! Momma loves you!
