watch out world, she's a TEENAGER!!

The day I have been dreading has finally arrived..... Maddie's a teenager!! OK so maybe dreading is a bit of an exaggeration, but I can't believe she is 13!!! I swear I was just 13. I remember it vividly!! Now I am the mother of a 13 year old, it just doesn't seem possible.
Birthday morning getting ready to open presents.


A few of the favorites. She got mostly ALL clothes. She and Jackson have both grown so much lately that their waredrobes are pretty sad!! She also got some earrings, boots, books, picture, and iTunes gift card. She was very excited to get packages in the mail earlier in the week from both sets of Grandparents (and Amy, Roy and Wendi) and thought that we were VERY mean to make her wait until her actual birthday to open them!!

Birthday cupcakes. Maddie is having a party with some friends next Friday, so she can get more "girly" cupcakes or cake then. For now she got Transformers cupcakes and her brothers thought that was AWESOME!! (Maddie didn't mind either.)
Trying to blow out her candles. I mixed a few trick ones in with the regulars this year.

Happy Birthday, beautiful girl!! I can't believe you are 13! I know that you will continue to be my wonderful, loving, brilliant and good "little" girl! We love you "infinity, plus one"!!
