ND BABY! (all caps intended)

What up to all my Chubby Cows out there! As probably, very few of you know, I just returned from an exciting vacay destination, NORTHERN DAKOTA! Yes, after packing my suitcase, and waking up relatively early, I headed off to the airport, on the way singing to people in their cars to P!nks song "perfect", which is incredibly irrelevant but very funny. Anyway, upon our departure, while practicing my brittish accent, as all devoted aspiring comedians should, my eyes fell upon a familiar face. However, this face was on a shirt, a shirt that I just happen to own. A picture of Jim Parson's, or Sheldon from "Big Bang Theory" face plastered to the front, accompanied by Sheldon's creative saying "BAZINGA!"  Being the Big Bang fan I am, I told the man I enjoyed his shirt, he replied with a "I do too." After a very boring flight, I was greeted by my lovely Grandparents! Oh, how I ah-dore them and their polo ridden closets and "snoopy/old people" lessons. They teach me so much about life. We stayed and tortured them for almost an entire week, depriving them of peace and quiet, and robbing them of their free time! Those poor people! But while staying with them, We also got to visit quite a bit of family that also reside in North Dakota. For those of you that don't know, most of my wonderful relatives live there, (probably in a soul effort to avoid me) It was absolutely enchanting to see them again. (as nothing excites me more than possums, movies, HD video cameras, and, of course, family) While there, I visited my two great grandma's, my great uncle joe, The kalloch family, and my mom's best friend Traci's family as well. Enough of the yacking, here are some of the photographs taken during the trip. Much Much Much Much Maddie Love, Maddie :)

Giving my cousins, the new uncles, a few gifts to get them on their way.


One of these things, was monkey butt cream, a definite necessity.


The boys with they're supplies. Baby wipes, Monkey butt cream, Spit towels (that absorb three times the water of a normal towel, cause we're not cheap!) Monkey butt cream, hand sanitizer, and candy bars, (to help them stay awake)


Being the oreo lover I am,On a facebook post I declared my love for them (as all passionate oreo lovers should! ) So, Barb got me some oreos too. Thanks Barb, I enjoyed those quite a bit! 


Ever since our family's Reunion on a cruise, I've Had this height competition with my cousins. Expecting to be taller than the 5'4 I have sadly halted at, I am now the shortest of Richie, Micheal, and my younger sister Kennedy. (How pathetic)
