Father's Day 2012

This Father's Day was a lot of fun, because the girls were able to understand a little bit more about what was going on. On the Thursday before Father's Day the girls made cute little hand prints for Daddy. We had to let them dry and keep them hidden for a few days, no small task I tell you!
I had to stay home with Madi because the day before she had a temperature of 102 degrees, and still wasn't feeling super. While she and slept, Bryners and I made special pancakes for Daddy.
We had a really fun day. The girls even made a fun little poster for him.

We are so grateful for Isaac. He contributes so much to our family in so many ways. He is such a good Daddy to his three little girls. He listens to them, plays games with them, reads stories to them every night before they go to bed, and is their hero. We love you Daddy!!

Madi turns 2!

Last Thursday was Madi's second birthday!! It's hard to believe that she's already two years old! Here are a few lot of pictures from her birthday day- we celebrated ALL DAY LONG!

First they woke up to balloons everywhere!



 Yes, it totally stuck to her back!

 And then both of the girls got princess coloring/sticker books

 Then we had special birthday pancakes

 Madi with her candle pancake (frosting added ;))

 Saying "cheese" for the camera and Gabi's Mickey Mouse pancake

Daddy's little surprise he left for Madi

 Brynlee "loving" having her pic taken

 Some of the decorations

(when I was a kid my mom would decorate

for all of our birthdays and go all out

we all loved it!)

 Cupcakes for the party

 Madi's own birthday cake

 All dressed up ready for her party at the park

(I bought the crown and earrings last minute at the

dollar store not really even thinking she would wear it, but

she fell in love with the crown and especially the earrings

and didn't take either off for the next two hours!)

 Waiting for her candles to be lit

 Getting ready to sing Happy Birthday

 Lighting the cake (it took like three tries it was so windy)

 She preferred the cupcake over her own cake!

 To finish the day off, glow sticks!!

Madi had a blast the entire day. I really don't think I've ever seen her (or any child for that matter) so happy for an entire day. I think we all had a ton of fun!
