Madison's 16th b-day!

I swear every day I wake up a little more sappy than the day before. I cannot believe my little Madi is 16 years old! Where in the world did the time go. I found myself on the verge of tears on and off through the entire trip but I held myself together...

Madison wanted a girl's trip instead of a sweet 16, which was fine w/me. :) I was all for it. We ended up going to Dallas. Friday we hit the Ft. Worth Zoo. It was soooo HOT but it was fun. Friday night we went to Pappsita's (I don't know if that is how you spell it) for her b-day dinner. Saturday we shopped til the girls dropped!! Sunday we shopped too and got home about 8:30 that evening. We had so much fun and we ate such good food (thanks to Jennifer for picking all the best places). It was Madison, Taylor, Haley, Samantha, Kathy, Jennifer, Mom, and I. I did not realize until we got home and loaded the pictures that my mom is not in any of the pictures!! Gah! I don't know how that happened. :(

This guy was so funny and sooo loud when he announced her b-day to the restaurant. I love this picture of her...


Madison & Haley at dinner...


This was in the western town in the zoo..that place was giving away free ice water and the girls ran in to get some!







You could go in w/the birds and get them to land on your stick (it had bird seeds on it)
Haley


Taylor


The birds loved Sam...she was getting birds for everyone to hold


Madi was a little scared, can you tell?!





We were waiting for our table at Uncle Julios and I asked the girls to be silly...this one cracks me up!



Madison does not like cake...so every year we get her an ice cream cake...what Dairy Queen does not have ice cream cake?! Let me tell ya! The ones in Hutchins, TX!! I was so bummed. She didn't even get a bday cake while we were there BUT we all had ice cream...


Taylor and Sam at Cheddars...


Madison & Jennifer


We LOVE Sam Moon!!! Jennifer picked out a bag and I LOVED it so much I got one too. It has been my most favorite ever..the strap is soft and the material is comfy..plus it has the cute little pocket on the front for my phone. Plus, it was only $16!! Can't beat that. The girls loaded up at this store. Purses, bags, jewelry...


While we were all out shopping and shopping and shopping...this is where we found Kathy...so funny!
