Our sweet Madelyn was 4 on March 28th! Crazy! We didn't have her well check until two weeks ago. Doctor said she looks great. Her stats are: Weight: 31 lbs (25%) and Height: 38 1/2 inches (30%) Doc said he would have loved for her to have gained more than two pounds this past year but he was not super worried. In the past 3 or 4 months, I feel like she has started eating a ton more. Maybe we will gain more next year! :)
Things Madelyn Loves:
* Loves going to Gymnastics
* Loves to sing
* Loves everything pink
* Loves her nails and toenails to be done (wonder where she gets that from?)
* Loves wearing flipflops
* Loves to cook with Mommy and Daddy
* Loves to swing (just like Mommy)
* Loves to be our little helper
* Loves to go shopping with her Daddy
* Loves to Dress up
* Loves princesses
* Loves to match her shoes and bows to her outfit (she sometimes tells me something does not match)
* Loves Life (very outgoing personality)
Also:
* Madelyn completely dresses herself now (which we love).
* We have been talking about "Big School", and she can't wait!! "Big School" will be Edgewood Elem. (but not until Sept 2011). She tells us about her two buddies she is good friends with in our neighborhood going to "her" big school as well and how they will be in her class (as if she knows). :)
* The other day, she told someone she was about to be 5!! So precious! The crazy things they say.
Madelyn we love you so much and thank God everyday for you! I am so blessed to be a MOM. God is GOOD!!!
Better late than never, right? Anyway, a month ago, we went to the beach with our little family. It was a BLAST!!! Weather was not so great but we had fun just hanging out and enjoying time together. The kids were at a great age this year to enjoy everything. We rode go-carts, went swimming a ton, played in the sand, and went to see the big shark in front of the Bass Pro Shop. Brooks loves sharks right now so he loved seeing that. 
Brooks and Madelyn both love to be thrown up in the air in the pool! So glad a friend suggested for me to buy these puddle jumpers for the pool. The kids like to wear them and they have a ton of confidence with them on. 
We were walking on the beach one afternoon and I looked up to see this! Of course, too sweet to not take a picture! :)
Ready, Set, Go!!!! It sure does break the bank to do stuff like this but the kids love it (so I guess it is worth it)!
They were proud of their little fort!
