Big sister Maddison makes a quick visit home from college!

 We were all so happy to be able to hug and kiss our sweet Maddie when she visited us this weekend, Maddison has always been a ray of sunshine and a delight to have around us her whole life, so you can imagine when she walked through the door everyone was screaming and jumping up and down like we hadn't seen her in years. She hugged me the longest and even kissed me on the cheek after I had kissed her all over her face :) tear tear   

She mad a lunch date with Canada for the Cheesecake factory and they had a great time eating yummy food and catching up.

Maddison had a successful first semester at BYU in Provo, yay! She headed back to BYU right after all these pictures were taken for the Fall semester to start on the 29th of August. She had a two week break between Summer and Fall, so she went to Newport beach for the first week with her new roommates and then she flew home for a few days to see all her friends here before school starts up again. We are so happy for her to be having such a wonderful experience being on her own, but we sure do miss and love her more than she will ever know.
She has a new blog at www.maddjayy.blogspot.com
 I love this cute sisters snapshot of them before lunch, and of them at the outdoor patio sharing a raspberry lemonade, how precious is that!?! I love my baby girls so much and it is nuts to see them growing up :)

 Canada moved into Maddison's old room and re-painted it and so we had to get a picture of Maddison's reaction to her room being taken over by her little sister. She was actually very impressed with Canada's decorating skills and was happy for her too.
Malibu has been really excited about the Madam Alexander dolls that Maddison used to play with as a little girl, so she ran and got them out to play with Maddi while she was in town. Boston is such a good brother and helps Malibu change the outfits on the dolls whenever she needs help. It was fun to see Maddi reminisce and remember all the good times she had playing dolls as s little girl.
