BIRTHDAY PARTY!!!!

We celebrated birthday number 4 with a princess party and some friends over. They made princess wands and had a "jewel" hunt in the backyard. The Pinata was a lot of fun, some of the girls were a little timid hitting it at first, but you could tell that some of them know how to swing a bat!

Some recent happenings in our family

So it has been a long winter around here. Madison loves to get into the hats and glove drawer and try them on...all at once! She also wants to know when winter is coming back since it has actually gotten warm the past week and melted all our snow. Now it is kinda wet and soggy in the yard, not the greatest for playing in.

Here she is playing "Going to the Beach" she actually has her swimsuit on underneath her winter coat. She has a baby in the carrier and her swim board in the bag ready to go. Actually we went to a waterpark with her after this so maybe she was just getting ready...really early!

It is great fun to have a piece of paper bigger than you are to draw on!



She got some dress-up clothes from a friend that she loves to put on, usually she is chaning outfits about every 10 minutes or maybe about 5 minutes!

Madison likes to put this "wedding dress" on play "Going to Mauri's Wedding" (or something like that from the Wiggles movie she saw.



Another planting season has arrived. After watering them she said she was going to wait for 5 minutes and then check on them to see if they had grown yet.







Warm weather finally!!!! Later in the day we were outside without our coats on!

Madison's Pet Fish


Here is Madison's newest pet....a yellow bullhead. She named him "Porky."
He was in the minnows we bought to go fishing with. She is very proud of her pet fish. (and yes it is in a flower vase!)
