On Saturday, September 15th, Grandpa Ficklin celebrated his 80th Birthday. It was a very large gathering with over 100 people there. Jeni and Carin spent countless hours during the week and evenings getting all the decorations just right including designing the cake and arranging all the flowers.

And as part of the program, Madelyn was asked to sing the Star Spangled Banner. Here is the video...

Here are some pictures we took from Josh's recent wedding. Sorry you couldn't be there Trent, Whitnie, and Scott - we missed you!

For Labor Day we went to the park. Here we all are being models at this pretty park. Enjoy :)

Finally a yard! Here are a few pictures after 10 months of weeds and dirt!

Here is a picture of Maddie and Joey on the Branson Belle in Branson, MO in August of 2007.

HAPPY 10th BIRTHDAY JOSEPH!

To celebrate, Joey and friends went to see the new Harry Potter movie, dressed up like Harry himself.

The next day, we celebrated at our house with Mason. Can you recognize him in his new birthday suit?
