Madelyn is 16!

Maddy had her 16th birthday during vacation so we brought her Starbucks breakfast in bed, gave her a princess crown to wear, and presents to open!  We then traveled to Coralville to bring her and Mallory to their high school church retreat.  We treated her to Red Lobster as that was her wish and she fell in love!  They sang to her and we had a wonderful time!  Today we went to get her license so now it's official!  Our little Maddy is growing up and becoming more independent and beautiful with the passing of each year!  Her love for the Lord and her desire to learn more and follow His will is a treasure to her parents.  Keep using your talents and gifts for His glory girl! We love you sweet Madelyn!

Christmas Vacation 2013!

We had a fabulous blessed relaxing vacation week in the Dells! Lots of laughter, food, swimming, snowmobiling, shopping and rest!  Christmas dinner made by Makayla and Chad was delicious and the day ended with a great competitive game of Monopoly!  We are so appreciative of this special time we had and the memories that were made!
