Maddie finally turned 4…so now we are the same age. Check out the awesome birthday cake her Mama made. (This is who helps my Mama make really cool birthday cakes!)

Time to open the presents…and this one is from me! The birthday girl is in there somewhere!

I hope Maddie like’s it…it’s her very own (personalized) castle!!!

Hayden and I decided to take a break from the princess explosion and headed for the jumper…

AND eat some cake of course!! What a great party!

Auntie Robyn took me out for a night on the town…so, I got to ride in her car. I was excited, but also bummed that I did not get to ride in the front seat. I know, I know…not until I’m 18 or whatever!

This past weekend was also the Middleton Good Neighbor Festival. We came to check out the big parade and met up with Maddie (and Family) and Maddie’s neighbors too.

We had a blast trying to pick up treats off the pavement.

We even saw Bucky do a handstand in the middle of the road…

Dude! Don’t drop her…that pavement would hurt!

Katie tried to spook us with her cow mask…

Maddie and I agreed to vote for Senator Feingold…whoever that is!

Papa said when he was little he wanted to grow up and be a stilt walker, but then he decided to get college degrees in Physics and Engineering instead. How crazy!

I think I might grow up to be a clown. They get to wear costumes everyday and have their faces painted…what could be better than that?

Who wants treats when you can get free shades??? I hope everyone had a great week. NEWS FLASH: I told Mama this past week that for my next birthday party I want to have an 80s Rocker costume party (in fact, I’m hoping Santa brings me a pair of zebra leggings!). So, in case you find yourself in town next March…you better be ready as this gives you lots and lots of time to plan your costumes!! We’ll see you next week!
