After the pageant, Joshua got Maddie a new stuffed animal, she loves animals!

Our beautiful pageant girl. she didn't win but she got a trophy and was excited about it!

Vacation was great, the beach was fabulous, the weather was wonderful and it went by entirely too quickly! We camped on the beach for a week and visited the aquarium, Dixie Stampede and a really cool place called Broadway at the beach which was just like downtown Disney. We ate at Planet Hollywood, Jimmy Buffets and a couple of other cool places. Maddie did build a bear, and Joshua and Matt did a fun MagiQuest thing where they got wands and went on a scavenger Hunt. We are thinking we want to go back again soon!

In other news..........Matt turned 40 this past week, Joshua turns 8 on the 19th and Maddie starts Kindergarten in 5 weeks. Time is flying by.

Can you find Joshua among the 200(yes 200 pirates) at his school program. Their music teacher is phenominal she did a great job putting this together and the kids were fabulous!! Would you believe he is standing next to Sarah, that was not his choice but just where they were in the play!!

Too cool of a picture. The RA's held their annual derby car race on Sunday and this picture is of Joshua winning a race.

Joshua tied Wil and Nathan for first place, he was pumped!!! I think there were about 17 kids all together.
