Ben, Joel, and Isabel playing a before-dinner game of crouqette. Here is Caleb about to take his swing playing crouqette too.
Beth Marquette and the rest of her family came to the party. This is Beth and Ebrina. The baby sling is GREAT invention! I am gonna have to get one for carrying Pipsqueak around. Prego Melissa....
Madelyn opening her cards and gifts. She loved everything and wanted to open all the packages and start playing with the toys right away!
When Madelyn saw the cake with candles on it, she started singing "Happy Birthday to Madelyn". She tried to blow the candles out on her own but Mom ended up having to help. She also did a good job sharing her cake with Lillian. Yum! The last picture shows how much cake Madelyn ate. She ate A LOT of her cake, especially the parts that had frosting!
Ben (and family) blowing out the candles on his cake, since his birthday is August 20th. Don't try and count them, they don't add up to 30! It was hot enough with only 24 candles on it! And isn't this the cutest family you've ever seen?!
Madelyn LOVES to dance to music. She's figured out how to turn on the TV, unfortunately, and after the party, she turned on the TV and this was on. She just started dancing to these four old men singing barbershop-style. It was cute!

Oh, I wish I could have been there! It sounds like the whole family had a great party. I would have loved to see her open the gifts. Happy Birthday to Ben too!
Melissa, Love your site! Just now found it. Your girl is pretty and sure sounds sweet. I guess you are expecting again...when's the due date? And yes, Ben's family most likely knows my family if we aren't actually already related! I'm related to the Taylors mainly, but also the Bennetts and Risingers. Alrighty then! Take care, Tiff, Brad & Emma :)
Hey Tiffany! Good to hear from you! I'm due around Oct 22nd. I'll be in Spearsville for Thanksgiving and I'll have to ask Ben's grandmother about those names. God bless, Melissa
