Happy 4th of July! 

Right now, I'm at my cousin's lake house in Louisiana! We are having a blast playing games, doing water sports, hanging out and spending family time, and holding our first annual family olympics! A big family reunion on the Fourth of July is our family tradition, and is one of my favorite parts of the summer!

Hope you all have a wonderful day:)

A Summary of the Past Few Weeks

As you all know, I've been REALLY bad at blogging for the past few weeks! I feel terrible! Hopefully some of you have been checking out my wordpress blog, because I update that more often with little bits of info on what I'm up to! If you haven't, here is the link:

http://typicalcatholicteenager.wordpress.com

Also, to explain why on earth I made a second blog, if I can't even keep up the first, check out one (or both) of these two posts:

#1. http://typicalcatholicteenager.wordpress.com/2014/04/16/updates-updates-updates/

#2. http://typicalcatholicteenager.blogspot.com/2014/04/wordpress-updates.html

Anyways, here's a summary of the past few weeks:

Welcome Baby Isaac!!!

My new baby brother, Isaac was born! He was born on March 29, at 7:06 am, and was 6 pounds and 4 ounces! He's such an adorable and sweet little man! 

He's such a handsome little man!!! 

April Fools Day!

On April Fools Day, me and my friends Claire and Roni (Veronica) made "brownies" for our teacher (at our once a week co-op)! We took brown construction paper and cut it into a bunch of letter "E's." Then, we put them into a pan and wrapped a ribbon around it! So basically, we made pre-cut (haha) "brown E's!!!" 

hahahahahahahahaha!!!!

Holy Week!

I had a very blessed Holy Week! I spent extra time praying and I also went to mass a few times! It was a great ending to Lent! I hope you all had a good and blessed Holy Week as well!

I also had to share this because I thought it was really cool:

Dear Jesus, thank you for suffering so much pain and dying to save us!!!

Easter Sunday!

Hoppy Easter!!! I hope you all had an egg-celent Easter! What an awesome day it is! Jesus is Risen!!! Yay! 

On Easter morning, the Nicholas, Savannah, and I got up and did our Easter tradition, which is looking for your Easter basket (they're always hidden), going through it, hunting easter eggs, and opening/emptying them out! Afterwards, we quickly got dressed and ready for 11:00 am Mass!!! We had a great time!!! We also dyed and decorated eggs the night before!!!

Easter Sunday was also a REALLY good day because I was finally able to listen to music and play games on my phone…….the two things that I gave up for Lent, which made me wonder whether or not I would survive until Easter!!! I know…..I sound like a baby….but 40 days is a lot of time to not be able to listen to music!!!! You have no idea how much music I listened to on Sunday….every chance I had, I put my ear buds in and listened to my awesome tunes!!!

Anyways, I had awesome Easter! I hope you did too!

Here are some pictures!!!

Me, decorating my eggs.

I painted some of them with my favorite color…..GLITTER!!!!

Gifts from Mom and Dad….cuz what says Easter more than a unicycle?!?!

All of us with our Easter baskets!!! 

Little Mr. Isaac…..he looks so adorable in his Easter basket!!!

Nick and Savannah, looking for eggs!

Me, who by the way looks awful because I had just woken up… :), on top of the rock waterfall in our pool….that bunny sure knows how to hide eggs;)

What a blessed Easter we had! Thank you, Lord, for rising from the dead!

Happy New Years!!!!!!!!!!!!!

It's 2014!!!!!! Yay!!!! Hap-Hap-Happy New Years!!!!!!!

Happy 1st Birthday to My Blog!!!! And Happy New Years Eve Too!!!!!

Go on......guess...................ok I'll just tell you! Today is my blog's 1st birthday! I can't believe that I've officially been blogging for a YEAR now!!!!!!!! Let me just say that it's been an AWESOME year of blogging! I don't know what I would have done with all of my spare time if I hadn't been blogging!!!!

I also wanted to tell all of my readers and followers (private followers too!) that I truly appreciate you and don't know what I'd do without you! You guys ROCK!!!! Thanks for always reading my random thoughts, even when they're really really random!!!!!! lol!

Anywho, Happy Birthday to My Blog!!!!

And Happy New Years Eve too!!!!!!!

(awww......isn't that so cute?!?! I thought it was totally adorable!)

Merry Christmas!!!

Merrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrry Christmas!!!!!

I hope your Christmas was absolutely holly jolly!!! Did you get some super awesome stuff?!?! Me too!!! Did you go somewhere awesome, or did you stay home?!?! I stayed home, which really isn't a bad thing! I actually really enjoyed it being home!!! I had an awesome Christmas and I hope all of you did too!!!! 

So, before I get to carried away talking about presents, food, family, friends, vacations and such, I wanna take a moment to wish Jesus a Hap-Hap-Happy Birthday!!!! After all, thats what Christmas is all about! There wouldn't be a Christmas without Him! Jesus is the reason for the season!!!!

Happy Birthday to You!!!

Happy Birthday to You!!!

Happy Birthday Baby Jesus!!!

Happy Birthday to YOU!!!!!

YAAAAAAAY!!!!!!

We can't forget that it's Jesus' special day! It's not all about opening presents, and Santa, hot chocolate, family, friends, hot chocolate, vacation, hot chocolate, picking out/decorating trees, hot chocolate, shopping, hot chocolate, giving gifts, hot chocolate, christmas parties, hot chocolate, and last but definitely not least, hot chocolate (did I mention that already?!?!)!!!!!

We can't forget that even though everything is CRAZY around Christmas, we have to celebrate our Lord's birthday!!! Lot's of people probably don't even think about Jesus during Christmas, and you gotta feel bad for Him! I mean, think about it.....Christmas is the celebration of GOD coming down to EARTH and becoming HUMAN!!!!! That's a big deal!!! 

So tonight, say a special prayer, and even sing Happy Birthday to the Savior of the world!

Hope you all had a lovely Christmas!!!

Happy Birthday Baby Jesus!!!

Christmas is Coming!

I can't wait for Christmas! It's almost here! I'm sooooooooooooo excited! Did I mention that Christmas is coming and that I can't wait?!?!?!? I did? Well, then I bet you can't guess what else I'm excited about....... ☺ I'm excited that Christmas is coming and that it's almost here! AHHHHHHHHH!!!!! EXCITEMENT!!!!!!! YAY!!!!! 

ok.........take a deep breath Madi.......thats it.......nice and slow........shhhhhh calm down.........OMGOSH!!!! CHRISTMAS IS COMING!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!! YAY! YAY! YAY! YAY! YAY! YAY! YAY! YYYYYYYYYAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAYYYYYYYYY!!!!!!!!!!!!

This is what I look like when I'M SUPER EXCITED FOR CHRISTMAS!!!!!

Don't I look super adorable?!?!? Of course I do!!! Just kidding.....but I am pretty adorable! How can you say no to that adorable face on that lovely head that's wearing SANTA'S HAT!?!?!?!? Speaking of santa's hat well......I guess its more of a replica....its not really Santa's......but it looks like it! Works for me!!!!!! Anyways, speaking of Santa, guess what........CHRISTMAS IS COMING!!!!! Only two days, 10 and 1/2 hours, 12 seconds, and 23 milli-seconds!!!!! YAY!!!!!

Ok......I'm sorry. I kind of got carried away......BUT I'M SOOOOOOOO EXCITED BECAUSE CHRISTMAS IS COMING!!!!!!!

ok.....here is a special riddle made up by yours truly that I bet you can't figure out:

Why did the chicken cross the road?

Because he was so excited that Christmas was coming (and that is was almost there!)

HA! Bet you didn't see that one coming! HA HA HA!!! I am smarter than you! Just kidding! But I have to admit that I am pretty smart......☺

Let's sing a Christmas carol!

"A Holly Jolly Christmas!"
(sing to the tune of "A Holly Jolly Christmas")

Have a holly jolly Christmas (....because it's almost here...)
It's the best time of the year (......yes it is! Told you so!)
I don't know if there'll be snow (...because I live in Texas...but there better be or else you'll feel my wrath!)
But have a cup of cheer (...or hot chocolate...cuz I don't know how to fill a cup with cheer...)

Have a holly jolly Christmas (......OMGOSH! IT'S ALMOST HERE!)
And when you walk down the street (...try not to slip on the ice...unless you live in Texas, cuz there won't be any! But there still better be! or you'll feel my wrath!)
Say, "Hello!" to friends you know (...or else they'll think your really rude...and they'll wonder why you ignored them...)
And everyone you meet! (...Not everyone though...because that would be kinda creepy...)

YAY!!!!!!! You are all amazing singers! But no one can beat my voice......"OOOOOOOOOOHHHHHHH" *crack* *crack* *glass shattering*
See?!?! I'm a natural!

Anywho, it was great getting excited about Christmas with you! We'll have to do it again next year, and the year after, and the year after, and the year after that one, and after that one, and.......well, you get the point☺

(please note: this post was written by Madison L. who wanted to let all of her readers know that she is very excited that Christmas is coming and that it is almost here. The "why did the chicken cross the road" joke/riddle is an original and was written by Madison L.)

Halloween 2013!!! (hey that rhymes! lol)

Happy Halloween!

 Here is a summary of the night!!!

First, I went to a halloween party, and hung out for an hour or two. Then I came home, took a hay ride, that had no hay, and rode around with one of my most bestestest friends, Claire. We trick or teated around the whole neighborhood with some of the neighbors, and had a blast! Then we came home, counted and traded candy with my siblings, ate some, Claire and I watched the Hunger Games, and hung out until it was so late that we could barely keep our eyes open! We had a super fun night!

Now it's time for.......halloween candy totals!!!

(please note that this was counted after some bribing, begging, trading, steeling some from our give away basket, and, well, you get the point.)

Twix: 15

Kit Kats: 24

Snickers: 36 (two were full size!!!)

Reeces: 2

Butterfingers: 1

Hersheys: 2 (both full size!!!)
