Friday February 24

I feel like poor Madi doesn't get much of a spot light shone on her very often.

She is turning into a pretty great young lady.

She is very helpful around the house and with the little ones.

She is trying VERY HARD not to let Cassi annoy her.

She is doing great in school....

And loving to jump rope.

She brought her middle school enrollment packet home the other day.

She is nervous.

I am nervous.

She will do such a great job....I am not worried about that....

I just can't believe she is growing up so quickly.

She is a great friend to have and she loves to learn.

She will do great.

I think after we check the school out and talk more about what it will be like, she will be less nervous too.

I am thankful to have her as our first born.

She is so great.

I am terrified....but also kinda excited to meet her as a teenager.

I hope we stay on the same track we are right now.....cause if so....we will be some very lucky parents.

Dad pulled the tractor out today.

We have talked about what we want to do in leveling out some of the spots in the backyard.

We are thinking of pulling dirt from the back part and filling in parts in the 'backyard' area.

And then have a retaining wall of sorts.

It could be very cool.

But it will take a lot of dirt moving.

So we need to decide exactly what we want to do.

He tried moving some dirt with the tractor and it worked pretty well....Brent just said it would take forever.

The boys do look cute on that tractor :)

We got to have the Terry girls over tonight so Brad and Jenni could go out for their birthdays.

They were so excited for the girls to show up!

Everyone made their own pizzas and then played all night.

Cassi and Ayden haven't seen each other for quite a while.....so the were inseparable the whole time.

When it came time to leave....Aydo said she wanted to live with us :)
