"I don't want to drive up to the pearly gates in a shiny sports car, wearing beautifully, tailored clothes, my hair expertly coiffed, and with long, perfectly manicured fingernails.

I want to drive up in a station wagon that has mud on the wheels from taking kids to scout camp.

I want to be there with a smudge of peanut butter on my shirt from making sandwiches for a sick neighbors children.

I want to be there with a little dirt under my fingernails from helping to weed someone's garden.

I want to be there with children's sticky kisses on my cheeks and the tears of a friend on my shoulder.

I want the Lord to know I was really here and that I really lived."

4th Birthday

Maddie was still not feeling great, so she didn't get to go to church on her birthday, which made her kind of sad because she loves primary. She hung out at my moms with Steve and my sister, her husband and Connor, who was also super sick. Since we had celebrated her birthday yesterday, we didn't do anything big today. We had dinner (ham, funerals potatoes and rolls), and cake for dessert. She requested that we make an "owl" cake since she is loving owls lately. The first cake didn't turn out so good, but we managed in the nick of time to pull off somewhat of a cake that resembled an owl. She opened presents from my sister and mom, but she had already gotten her present from us the day before. Melissa gave her a princess castle for her barbies and my mom gave her some ballerina pajamas and "Maximus" the horse to go with her barbies (from the Tangled movie). The rest of the night we watched movies and vegged out. Happy Birthday to the "Princess" of our family! We love you so much Bug!
