9 year old's ROCK!!

Tuesday May 12, Maddie turned 9 year's old!! This had to be (by far) the funnest birthday ever. She didn't want princesses, Hannah Montana or the Jo-Bros to theme her party. She wanted a "cute cake with stripes" and an MP3 player. She didn't want a huge girlie birthday party and instead, asked if she and two or three friends could go out to lunch on Saturday.

Maddie really has grown up. In case you didn't know:

* She and I love to sing High School Musical and Taylor Swift songs as loud as we can in the car.

* She and I both love to watch kissing on TV because we are true believers in romance!

*She is as girlie as girls can get. . .purple, pink and lots of frill.

*Maddie's favorite food is homemade chicken noodle soup, spaghetti, chicken nuggets with ranch, and anything chocolate, but she is sure to eat all of her veggies before she eats any dessert!!

*She loves to dance and sing around the house.

*She wishes she had been born a princess--because she loves castles and ball gowns.

*Her dream vacation would be to visit the Eiffel Tower, or to lounge on the beautiful beaches of Hawaii.

*She loves to taunt her father by professing her love for BSU.

*She loves third grade.

*She thinks she might like to be a model when she grows up.

*She has a kind heart and has a lot of friends-- both young and old.

Maddie, we love you and we hope you had a wonderful birthday yesterday!!
