hi ladies,My blog seems to have a mind of it's own, LOL! When I post pics I like to keep them to the right but they seem to post all over the place! Is anyone else having this problem? Can anyone point me in the right direction to do something different.

Our granddaughter Madison turned 3 today (Oct 17).....oh how fast the last 3 years have flown by, LOL! We met up with her mom and dad (Rachel & Mark) at Jungle Jacs with her brother Sebastian and foster sister Kassandra as well as Uncle Matt. We had a really great fun filled day with the kids playing on slides and having lunch, then enjoyed some yummy cupcakes. Took some cute pics too.
