{Carrie Underwood}

Last Friday afternoon my best friend's husband and I found ourselves planning a last minute trip to GR to take in a Carrie Underwood concert. So..without permission from Phil or Liz (the practical/"thinkers" of our relationships) we ordered 4 tickets....YIKES!!! :)

We had a great time surprising Liz, but Phil guessed before we even left the house. Needless to say...I'm not sure our spouses will be allowing the two of us (the spontaneous/"just do it-ers" of the relationships) to plan the next evening out!! :)

Craig Morgan opened for Carrie

Carrie Underwood can flat out SING!!!

She's amazing, and puts on a great show!!! Enjoy the pictures!!!

This was one of my favorite parts of the show. She sang two songs while suspended above the crowd in this truck that moved around the arena!!

Great concert with great friends!!!

Thanks for being in cahoots with me P. Sayers!!! :)

{Happy Birthday my sweet Maddie-cakes}

I had so much fun looking back on these pictures. Enjoy the many sweet and funny faces of our Madison Elaine!!! I can't believe it's been 5 years already!!!!

Happy Birthday Madison!!

We are so thankful that God placed you in our care 5 years ago today!

We love you!!!

{Early Birthday Party}

We celebrated Maddie's birthday a little early this year. My parents and Nicole/Rob are going to be in Florida on her bday, so we wanted to make sure they were around for the family party...and I don't think Maddie had any complaints about celebrating early! :)Tattoos for everyone....

I'm pretty sure this is the 3rd year we've had a Hello Kitty themed party! I'm not complaining!!! She's cute, and easy to find at any store!!!

Nicole always finds super cute clothes!!!

Sticking with the theme!!! Thanks Grace! :)

BTW...the water bottle works great for soccer, we used it Monday night!!! :)

Headbands are always a favorite!!
GG bought Maddie a new pair of Keens for her birthday!!

She LOVES them!!!! :)

Can't go wrong with Lego's in this house!!! :)

"Happy Birthday to you..."

Anna enjoying her cake! :)

More birthday picutes to come as we celebrate her real bday on Wednesday, April 14th :)

{Chuck E. Cheese}

Saturday we celebrated Maddie's birthday with some of her friends and relatives. We stuck with the Hello Kitty theme, and set up at Chuck E Cheese for the afternoon.

Maddie wanted to wear her new dress from Aunt Coley...which she received MANY complements on!! :)

Josiah hamin' it up for me...

Then it was on to the game floor...where fun was had by the adults and kids alike! :)
