"It's my party and I cry if I want to" Maddie did not want to wear her birthday hat, but i just had to get one picture with it so we kind of forced it. It made for one funny picture. We spent the whole week in Pittsburgh with my sister this last week. Andy had Fed-Ex training there so we just decided to tag along. We came up on Maddie's Birthday. So my sister planned a little party.
The theme was yellow, since that is Maddie's favorite color in the whole wide world. She points out yellow cars and yellow signs. If you ask her what her favorite anything is she just says "yellow" even if it doesn't make sense at all. Her aunt Jo Jo made her a yellow bracelet and Maddie hasn't taken it off yet, and its been months. The only second to yellow is the color green.
Maddie got two cakes, one of the cakes got destroyed before the party so my sister made this yellow one to replace it. But we used the half destroyed cake to put the candles on since this one was so pretty.
My sister went all out for Maddie with the yellow, she loved it.
Mandy and Andy
Opening Presents.
A soccer ball, its green because we couldn't find a yellow one, we looked everywhere. Maddie is mostly girly girl except for when it comes to balls and running, this girl has endless energy.
Tinker bell movie of course. Maddie loves tinker bell because she has yellow hair.
Maddie's other love in life besides yellow is dancing. She asks me to put music on for her at least once a day so that she can dance. So we got her some dancing ballet slippers, she was so excited.
Maddie and Sadie are best friends. They are a lot alike, which means they both drive their mothers crazy most of the time, but they are also full of life and fun.
Playing in all the snow. There is a lot of snow in Pittsburgh right now. It was almost too much for the little girls, because it was so deep they could barely walk so they did not last long.
She looks utterly bored.
The older girls sledding with me. The hill was so steep, it was way too hard to walk up it too many times, so we just went a couple times, but the couple we did do were awesome because they would get going so fast. And as you can see in the next picture they got going a little too fast and crashed.
It was an interesting week in Pittsburgh because it seemed like everything kept going wrong. We thought we would be able to have both cars so that we could go to a couple museums during the week but it snowed too much and the bus system was closed so the the husbands had the cars all day everyday. So while we were stuck indoors, it snowed too much so playing out in it wasn't even fun. We had a preschool day and Mandy and I got to talk a lot which we love, but then it got even worse. Evie threw up one night and then the next night Lydie did, then me and Kenna did. We were passing around a 12 hour throw up bug and it was spreading fast. We were all healthy by the time Friday came around but we knew that it was only a matter of time before someone else got sick. So we knelt down together as a family and prayed that we could make it through one day with out anyone getting sick. Friday was the only day the husbands got off early and we would be able to go to a museum. So the lord answered our prays and we were able to go to the museum and to dinner afterward, but the second we got home two more girls threw up, the lord gave us a tiny window and it made the trip perfect. We had a lot of crazy things happen, but a lot of blessings too and I am still glad we made this trip.
Brooklyn's favorite animal is a T-Rex, so she flipped out when she saw her first real T-Rex. This one was the first T-Rex ever found, it was found in Montana.
They got to dig for their own dinosaur bones too, they loved that, I think Andy had just as much fun as the kids did.
The whole museum was full of life size, totally real looking animals. Brooklyn was in heaven.
This was the coolest museum I have ever seen, and my sister says that Pittsburgh is full of them, I can't wait to come again and see more.
