Little Star

Today when I put Madelyn on the potty she said "mommy song" so I started singing all the different songs we know and she kept saying "no tinkle" and I thought she meant that she still hadn't gone potty but she was wanting me to sing "Twinkle twinkle" I have only sung that one other time before but as I started singing she started doing the actions and singing it herself. We sang it again and this time she sang the whole song by herself it was sooooo cute. These are the times that we need to write down and remember.

Mother's Day!!!

Last weekend my Mother-in-law took Laryssa and I out for a "Mother's Day outing" we went shopping and I found a fun dress and went to the movies and saw "Baby Mama" which was hilarious. We had a great day! Sunday began waking up to my sweet little girl saying "happy Muders Day" as she says I love it. Church was fun and Maddie was so good in Sacrament meeting which is a first maybe its because Grandma was there. After church the "Men" Kyle and Chad made us dinner which was excellent way to go Boys! I got beautiful flowers from my amazing Husband and a darling card from Madelyn. Thanks for a beautiful day!!! Hope you all did as well.

Gym Time

On Saturday Madelyn got ready in her purple and pink leotard for her first gymnastic class, since mom has taken it most of her life why not try it herself. She loved every minute from jumping on the trampoline, doing the obstacle course("no like") as Madelyn says and her favorite jumping into the foam pit. We all had a great time watching her but were not sure who enjoyed it more her or mom and dad we shall see next week. It was hilarious...

"2" Years Old

I can't believe its already been"2" years since we had our little girl. Madelyn has been such a blessing in our lives. I remember when we saw her first smile and laugh to her crawling and beginning to walk. Now she plays dress up and tells me what she wants. Every day is something new. We love her very much...

Madelyn's "2" B-day Party "

We decided on a "Fish Theme" since Maddie loves Fishy's and there is so much you can do with Fish. I'm sure the kids and parents felt like they were at a carnival but we all had a great time. The kids decorated their pails and fish bowls, played pin the fish in the bowl, fished for prizes, had lunch and cake, and best of all they took home a real Fish... Thanks mom's and Chad for helping me I couldn't have done it without you.

Catching up!

So I figure since its been a while I would catch up with everything that has been going on. Easter was great this year since Madelyn is older now she enjoyed doing the easter egg hunt atGrandma's house.

We have also been lucky to have a few nice days to enjoy the sunshine outside so we took the kids to the park and played with bubbles and went down the slide over and over again.


Trey turned 3 mos and is continually growing everyday, he even has started teething aghhhh not yet!!! He has brought so much joy into our lives with his cute dimples and laughter we love him so much.

As Madelyn is about to turn 2 which in her case "5" she has started to actually make sense when talking and is non stop moving all day long. She has so much energy its sooo fun to see her grow up and be a great big sister.

Over Conference weekend we visited my parents in Vancouver and went to the "Clackamas Aquatic Park." Madelyn loved every minute especially the "Seal slide" she went down it at least 50 times by herself as we just watched from the side her and Hudson had a great time as well as Chad and I jumping off the diving board and going down the fun slides.

The next day we went to Hudson's "2" b-day party which was a "character theme" so Maddie went as a princess and she actually wore the dress the whole time. Mindie did a great job decorating and having fun things for the kids to take home. She loves her lipgloss thanks Min....

Last week we went to the Aquarium with some friends and had a great time seeing all the neat fish. For the most part Madelyn was good except when she wanted to run all over the place. Other than that we had a fun time.

Friday night Chad and I had a date night we went to the "Seeds of Compassion" concert and heard the Dolli Llama speak and with a surprise guest the Death cab for cutie perform. Best of all we were able to see Dave Matthews perform with Tim Reynolds (guitarist) they were so amazing and he was very personal with everyone since it was a smaller venue than the Gorge.

Last of all we went with Kyle, Laryssa, and Grandma to the Tullip Festival yesterday. The weather was beautiful as well as the tullips. What a beautiful day we had...

We have had a great time with Family and Friends this spring so far...

Lucy's 1st B-day

Last saturday we went to Lucy Lathrop's 1st birthday at the Fire Station in Edgewood, since her dad works there. We had a lot of fun looking at the old fire truck and seeing the lights. Maddie's favorite part was sitting inside the old fire truck. Later we had lunch which Madelyn never stepped away from the chips its was hilarious. The kids also decorated cupcakes as we watched Lucy open her gifts. We had a blast. Happy Birthday Lucy!!!
