Longest post of Madison's life!
Life has been so majorly busy...gosh it's even hard to remember all that I've done!
Ok this may be the longest post I've ever written so bear with me! I've just done so much these past two weeks!
As most of you know I went to Disney World this past week! It was really fun, and we had a blast. We only spent two days there(Magic Kingdom and Epcot),but we also spent one day in Universal. It was definitely tiring. The heat index of Orlando was 110. Not only was it hot,but it was also humid....I never want to be in the heat again...
I took a TON of pictures(770 or something like that) but I really don't want to post like a million pictures to clog up my blog!
No worrys, I'll only post about 100 or so! Just kidding...um yeah...dry humor I know.
Here is a "schedule" of our most busiest day there:
7:00AM- Get up and get ready
7:30AM- Eat breakfast
7:45AM- Head out to Magic Kingdom
8:30-3:30- Do all the "easy rides" for my grandparents...lol
4:00- Grandparents go back to the hotel...too tired
6:00- We eat
7:00-12:00PM- Stay at the park
1:45AM- Get to bed
Yes it was crazy busy and we got very little sleep.
Here are a lot of pictures.... I basically explain my trip through my pictures! Just so you know I'm not allowed to post faces so I got alot more that are better than this but they have my family's faces in them!! lol! Anywayy....
Taking off....:-)

This was what I did on the airplane....I was SOOO bored. I know this picture isn't any good whatsoever.

My first glance at Orlando!

Story time! Ok so on our first night at the hotel we were all getting ready for bed at around 11:00PM....FIRE ALARM! It was crazyyyyyy! We all like grab our stuff and are in our PJs and run down stairs....wait for 30 minutes..false alarm. Anyway this is a pic of people I don't know waiting for the a-ok of going upstairs..

Flordia has beautiful places!


I'm telling you beautiful!

I love this picture...it is so deep to me...

Disney Parade time! Ok so they had this really really long parade at Magic Kingdom.

Ok so can I have my hair like that....:-))

This is what we did for alot of the rides with long lines...a lifesaver!

Disney Magic! Wow those fireworks were wonderful!

It may look like a haunted house to you but it's actually Cinderella's castel! It changed colors the entire night.

They had a great "light" parade. It was really hard to get pictures though...sorry!

This is what we did to keep our feet from falling off...rolled them with frozen waterbottles....

This was one of my favorite rides!

Spiderman...cause he's my buddy!
Yes I went on this...yes I survived...yes I'd do it again!

I really didn't get as many pictures as I'd liked to...I was too tired and at that moment didn't care.

Went on this too! This was a funny ride because it was really creepy... My cousin and two brothers went on it and as we were locked in a room by ourselves we were like , "Um why is everyone screaming???" and then we were launched into the air and it was amazing!!! We had to to it twice cause it was so short!

The clouds were really pretty


Finally home again!!!
After Disney I had a tournament in Dallas so we headed over there. Right now I have a lot of "soccer drama" in my life so I really don't like talking about soccer. (or my coach)
Moving on, we did pretty well,but we played up a year so we lost mostly.
Ok pictures from a sleepover last week: (it was at cupcakers1's house check out her blog on my friends list!!!)
Us being rockstars!

It's a STAR!

This is me!!!

Ok so this took 15 seconds to take...bad picture!

This is Texas people!

Yellow Flowers are the best!


Pictures from my week with Kadi as we went on a "photography walk":


This was BEFORE my flip-flops got all dirty!

I discovered this place around us and was so excited! Isn't it beautiful?!?!






No faces...sorry!
A beautiful rainbow!!!

Stuff..Stuff..and more stuff
I have so much to post in only the matter of a week!
I don't even know where in the world to begin!
My birthday was amazing!
First my cousin called! It was good to talk to her. (Kd you need to call me again!)
My mom and I went shopping! XD We went to Old Navy for some shorts cause it's major hot up here and all I have is soccer shorts. We found 4 pairs(gasp I know!) Anyway, we had a great time together!
That night my great-grandma came over to eat with us. I had what I had for my b-day last year. I'm not alltogether changing when it comes to food. Anyway that was fun!
I can't even remember what I did the day after my birthday. Really! It's just been busy.
But that is what summer is for.
Yesterday I had open practices for my soccer team. It was AMAZING! No I'm serious, it was awesome. We are u14 this year. We had the u15 girls coach and he was awesome. I like him much better than my coach right now. We played 3v3....and the tournment is the weekend.
Afterwards my soccer team went swimming at Nikki's house. The pool was FREEZING. Ohsocold. It was fun though. We swam until about 9:30. I got to wear my amazing swimsuit that I got from http://www.limericki/.
Anyway, that's what I've been doing. I'll catch up on comments later kk?

You say it's your birthday
*You say it's your birthday...da na na na na....it's my birthday too...da na na na na!*
Hey guys!
Guess what day it is!!!!!!!!! My birthday. I am officially a teenager! Woot woot!
13...wow. Has it really been that many years? Ok so I've got to say, the most exciting thing about being 13 is that I won't be in the "12 and under" group anymore. You know...you won't have the kids menu, have to pay less at the movies, or be a "kid" instead of an adult when you are at a musuem or something. XD
Ok so all that really is not important. But still ya know..
You may ask what I'm doing for this special occasion...well for today the answer is: Nothing.
Yupp, you heard it right, basically I'll just be hanging around all day. My grandma is supposed to come over for dinner,but other than that I'll just work on stuff. My friends were supposed to come over but most of them are out of town.
I opened my presents last night and got:
1. A Francesca Battistelli CD(that's right...I know how to spell her name)
2. A cute cross that has "Make a joyful noise" on it. I love it
3. A ipod nano! YAHHH! lol. I've been wanting one of these forever so finally I got my wish. XD
My rite of passage thing is about over. I have my party on the 15th. I'm excited because I have no idea what it's going to be like. My mom is all secretive lately. But I always have my dad. He cannot keep secrets. Here is our conversation at my brothers ballgame last night:
Dad, "where is mom?"
Me, "I don't know...I'm not supposed to"
Dad,"Is she with Betty??"
Me, "DADD! You just told me where she is now!!!!!!!!!"
Dad,"oops"
So yes, he is good at giving away secrets. I love my Daddy.
Ok so let's talk about yesterday and Saturday. My brothers have had 7 games in the past 2 days.
Yes...I haven't been home much.
My 11yr. brother plays basketball. He is really good,but his team...lets just say they are lacking. It's supposed to be a 6th grade team and they have 3rd and 4th graders on there. Long story. Don't ask. But yeah so they lose every game and it's really not fun to watch.
My OTHER brother Cooper(8) plays baseball. He is like a superstar out there. I cannot believe that these 8yrs. can do this type stuff.
Anyway, his season actually ended two weeks ago,but he got asked to play for a team for a single tournament.
So basically this coach just decided to make a team and he picked the good players coming out of the league that just ended. If that makes any sense whatsoever.
They did really really good for not ever playing together before. If fact, we played the 3rd ranked team in the state of TX and we could've beat them. I was very impressed.
Baseball is such a cool sport ya'll. Ohsoexciting.
Anyway, this is a long post and congradulate you if you read the entire thing!
Please leave comments on my b-day today!

Memorial Day
Time for a new entry!
(yeah so the flag wouldn't exactly corporate so I don't have a good picture of the flag. Hey I tried.)
Happy Memorial Day! Well...okay so I'm one day late. We had a busy Memorial Day! First we woke up and went to McDonalds for breakfast. I don't like McDonalds,but I sorta like their breakfast. There was a local dog show going on in our indoor complex so we heading to that. Let me explain.
Ever since we have gotton our adorable border collie(Gracie Noel) we have been in love with dogs(or at least I have). Especially her. One thing we have learned about border collies is that they love to work and are very fast. So being the loving owners that we are we are wanting to do agility with her, and heading out to see what whole thing was about. Hopefully once she gets older she will be able to complete. And that my friends is my explanation for the agility dog show.

This is her. I love this picture. I don't know if you can see but her face parts right down the middle. Half black half white.
Here is another picture that you can really see her face split. It's the only one that I could really find:

After the dog show we ran to the house because we only had fifteen minutes to get ready to go to the Memorial Day service with my grandparents.
The service was good,but I had a hard time concentrating because I still have a cold and I had to cough and sneeze like a million time. That was so embarassing. But it was good anyway.
We went to eat at my great-grandma's nursing home. They have a little resturaunt in there that is pretty good.
Overall it was a fun day!
Also we had burgers that night that my dad made. I love his burgers!
Here are some pictures that I took yesterday(I was just playing around):

SUMMER TIME!


I don't know if I like them or not. Comments?
Oh and this weekend my brother had a basketball tournament. He lost every game,but they were up against 6th graders. Or so my brother said.
It was cool though because after one of the games we went to eat with friends of ours(their son plays on Connors b-ball team). They have a girl near my age, just a little older. So it was fun...
I'm trying to finish my school up. AHH! I have like 5 more math lessons and 1 Language Arts. I'm behind on science. I'm trying to get an entire module(chapter) in each day(it's supposed to take 2 weeks for each module). But yeah. So I'm busy.
We are getting the invitations out soon for my right of passage. CRAZINESS! I'm still trying to get all my verses done! 14 days...only 14.
Anyway, I'll leave it at that!
Keep those comments coming!

Shopping is always fun
Ok everyone!
Lots has been happening here. I'll start with last week...
We had company in for 6 days. It's always fun to have company. Anyway...we went hiking and here are some pictures from that:



Those are just a few of the many!
I was supposed to have a soccer tournament this past weekend(it was going to last three days),but it was cancelled due to bad weather. Sooooo...my mom and I got to spend time together! It was so much fun. We went shopping, got our nails done, rested(lol), and basically had a good time.
Also..my brothers have been really getting into Star Wars lately...hmmm...I have no idea why. I guess it's more of a guy thing.
One month until my b-day. I'm stressed. AHH!
Well..I'm off to go finish all the updates I have to do. Sorry this is so short. Truly.
