madi, the mystic, morrison and meringue

yesterday after fiddling with html codes
& online work/computer issues
i ended up with a big whopping headache.
 clearly, i'm not as techy as i'd like to be.

take for example my itunes status.

my itunes library is on the desktop computer, not my laptop.

& i've yet to learn how, to or shall we say, make the time to switch it over.
rumor has it that it's a time consumer
& i'm consuming my time with html and
three hundred and sixty five photos for crying out loud.

so my sweet madison uploads my songs for me.
i keep her hopping around from U2 to vanilla ice to zac brown.

when zac brown first came out
singing things like chicken fried and i've got my $%@ in the sand
i wasn't all yay zbb.
then i heard highway 20 ride, free, and colder weather
& now i'm a true fan.
so anyway, she uploaded what was apparently the extended version of free.
awesome tune.
with van morrison's 'into the mystic' thrown in there.
love.

i'm certain most of you have a more refined sophisticated taste in music
& have no familiarity with the aforementioned songs.

so
speaking of madison,

i'm a little behind posting some of her cheerleading pictures from this past fall.

she left 11 years of ballet & entered the world of  cheerleading 

as if that's what's she done all along.

 

besides being my techy tunes girl,
madison is also our resident baker

who loves to be in the kitchen

& is helper extraordinaire.

her current form of blessing our family

is baking cupcakes. from scratch

i gave each of the girls a book to open on christmas eve.

madison's, while not technically a book,

the cupcake deck 

was drawn from the best selling book 

& is filled with super cute folded cards & recipes.

here she is making meringue frosted chocolate goodness

& for those of you
who might enjoy a moment of unrefined,
unsophisticated musical preferences,
enjoy~
