Playing with Ellie!!

Maymie and Ellie have this special bond!! Maymie loves to go to Ellie's or wants Ellie over here. Which is great cause they are happy and entertained:) I told Maymie the night before that Ellie might come over, well from the minute that Maymie little eyes opened she was ready to call her (7:30am). Ever ten minutes can we call her???? Later that morning we called and got a game plan. Maymie wanted her to come over in her PJ's to have PAJAMA TIME!! You have to hear her say that it would crack you up! Madden was excited to see Ellie-- I think he has a little crush:)


Here they are saying the prayer for lunch...


I am not sure how I got them to sit, cause they were ready to go play!!!



As you can see they changed into different PJ's.
They played the Wii until both won.
They had a great time and she will have to come back soon:)

THE BIG 30!!!!

So Matt has joined the 30 club!!!! Not me I am still the ripe age of 29:) Ok Ok I now my turn is right around the corner:) Matt told me that Dustin at work had put on the reader board A little birdie told me that Matt is turning 30!! I wish I would have gotten a picture, but Matt made him take it down-- old man have a little fun:) Maymie and I made cookies for the old guy. We had lots of fun with the icing-- I think we ate more than we put on the cookies!! Later we took him to Outback. Hope you had a great day!!


Wow your 30!~~


Ok Daddy I think we should try the cookies!!


I am glad your home so I can eat one:)


Maymie thought I need a little something:)


Birthday hug!!!


Daddy you need your PJ's on:)


Nanny got Matt Madden 09!!


Our little bird:)

Prayer and thoughts..

So many days we wake up and take the little things in life for granted.
Being healthy should be top on our thankful list.

I pray that God can help fight this cancer in Leigh's body-- if there is anyone on earth that deserves a break it is her! Please remember her this week she goes to have scans on Friday and we are hoping for good news!!! We are hopeful that the chemo is making the tumor smaller and she is on the right track to kick some Cancer tail!!!!


A friend from high school had twin boys and one of the twins Reed was in need of a new heart. He was blessed with a new heart Monday. I can only imagine how hard it is for Keeley and Ryan waiting for someone to make that hard decision. May God bless that family that gave the gift of life for little Reed. God works in wonderful ways. I pray that he works in wonderful ways for Reed to except his new heart so that he can be healthy. Her blog is keeleyandryan.blogspot.com if you want to read about him.

Surprise Matt!!!

So for a couple of weeks I have been lying to Matt--- Yes lying to my husband! Well it was for a good reason and he forgave me:) Matt turns the big 30 Wednesday so I wanted to surprise him with a little get together. Two days before the party I almost ruined it and just came clean. I am glad that I did not cause he did not have a clue! And for once everything went just as planned. He thought we were going to the Circus. He left the store at 3:30 I left my charger at school so I sent him to get that. Then he went to Walgreen's and when he got home it was 4:30. I took Maymie to the Tant's about 15 min before he got home and told Mom to leave and come back later so he would not think anything about her coming over. Everyone was going to be here at 5:00. I knew he would want a shower so I told him to hurry and take a shower I told them that you would pick Maymie up at 4:45! Well he was taking his time -- I was telling him to hurry up and leave!! Finally he left and I start getting everything ready. Well the Tants did a great job!! They got home Maymie ran in the den first-- and was very confused-- everyone was telling her to shshshshs!! Matt walks in and has a very confused look on his face and then thinks we all were going to the Circus!! Well we did not go to the Circus, but I think Kevin King the magician was better!!! Thanks to all that helped!! I could not have done it without you!!!!

Happy Early Birthday Bud!!!!!!!
Matt trying to figure out what was going on in the den????

I wish I could have taken a video of everyone face it was priceless!!

Just when you thought you figured him out--Nope he got you!!!


Jake and Troy up to no good!


Troy and Ron helping Kevin out!


Amber did you get your watch back???


Dean and Brett would not take their eyes off Kevin!


I think the big guy, Matt, Cole, and Grammy wet their pants!

For some reason she wanted Madden's Penguin to be hers today??
So little brother shared with big sister-- she needs to take some notes:)


Maymie working hard on her Valentines!
She asked if she could be my guest so that she could go first.
So I had to watch her, then I got my turn.
Maybe next time she has a guest she will let her guest go first!

For I know the plans I have for you," declares the LORD, "plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future. Jeremiah 29:11

Audrey Hepburn:
“For attractive lips, speak words of kindness. For lovely eyes, seek out the good in people. For a slim figure, share your food with the hungry. For beautiful hair, let a child run their fingers through it once a day. For poise, walk with the knowledge that you never walk alone. People, even more than things, have to be restored, renewed, revived, reclaimed, and remembered; never throw out anyone. Remember, if you ever need a helping hand, you will find one at the end of each of your arms. As you grow older, you will discover that you have two hands; one for helping yourself, and the other for helping others.”
