There is something about bubbles

Bumbershoot and such...

Kevin was chosen to be an assistant in a circus act that was performing...



Maddie worked on her first ClayMation movie...


Maddie rode a snail and got a foot massage...


We watched a VERY cool dance group perform in the fountain...



And Maddie danced her socks of to The Offspring...

but then she got sleepy...

I don't have any pictures from Death Cab but I can tell you they were AMAZING!!!!!! (Maddie unforutnately missed seeing Ben Gibbard)

It's official, she's 4

Saturday was Madeline's 4th birthday. I am still having trouble comprehending how quickly she's growing up. The morning began with her saying "Mama, I am SO OLD!!!". The idea that she starts kindergarten in one year is troubling to me. When I think back to August 30, 2004 I can still remember the ditinct feelings of holding her for the first time and looking in to those beautiful eyes. It sounds corny but they do grow up so fast...

Pictures from the party:

Maddie's Dora cake (a lot more work than last years Elmo by the way)


Kieran telling Maddie "See Maddie, I'll be as big as you when I am 4!"


Cake time!


These three look related though I am not sure why...


PRESENTS!!!!
