Madelyn sure does get the brunt of things sometimes. I don't know if it is being the third child or what, but it seems like she is always getting hurt. She fell out of the van and onto the gravel drive. From the looks of her, I think that she fell directly onto the top of her head. She cut her lip and bloodied her head. Poor Baby!
Today was a fun filled hot day. We started off the day at the kids bike rodeo. This is our second year attending and the girls love it. They get to ride their bikes all over the parking lot, be in races, play with friends, learn about being safe, and get hosed down by the fire truck. Livs was a little disappointed today because we had to leave before the fire truck sprayed its water. We met up with our friends and Brad and Livvy went rock climbing. Unfortunately, I have a broken foot and therefore did not want to struggle with the two youngest by the cliff all afternoon.. Brad and Olivia had a great time. Olivia is quite the climber.

1 reason we love Madelyn
1 – Maddie has the sweetest smile and the most contagious giggle. She is always happy and brings a wonderful spirit into our home.
Busy is the best way I can describe our lives right now. We are chasing kids, cleaning messes, potty training, cleaning more messes, having yard sales, planting the garden, doing LOTS of yard work, acquiring new pets, and cleaning more messes. Oh yea, and I broke my foot which hasn't been too convenient.
Olivia made it through and graduated from pre-school. She had a great year and an amazing teacher. She is going on to all day kindergarten and I don't know if I am quite ready for that. We are proud of Olivia. She is a wonderful daughter and a great student. She will do great in kindergarten. She is so excited and thinks that we should just put her on the school bus and not worry about her. I think that she is just a little too independent. We keep talking about things that we are planning to do this summer and she will say, "I won't be able to go because I will be in kindergarten." She is too cute and did such a great job in her graduation program. They learned the fifty nifty United States song and Livs was Miss Maryland. She even got a diploma. We love you!
Olivia always amazes me. She is quite the little athlete. The end of pre-school fundraiser is a fun run. The school wants each child to run four laps around the track which is one mile. Olivia never ceases to amaze me. Thirteen laps and fifty minutes later, Olivia's teacher had to make her stop running. She didn't even want to stop to eat her ice cream. She tied with one of her favorite friends Kyler for the most laps run. Good job Livvy.
I love mothers day. I am so spoiled and feel like the luckiest wife and mother in the world. And, as always, get to eat chocolate covered strawberries.
