Our Little Easter Bunny





Easter was so much fun this year since Madilyn is now old enough to understand about the Easter bunny. We went to our ward's easter egg hunt on Saturday morning and Madi loved finding the eggs and loved the candy inside even more. We got made fun of by the other parents for MAdi being all cute and dressed up. All of the other kids came ready for some serious hunting with rain boots on or tennnis shoes. We got the first time parents comment or you guys must not be from Oregon. They were right about one thing. We should have put some better shoes on MAdi. The field was so muddy and wet, one thing you never have to worry about in Arizona. It was a lot of fun and I got some cute pictures. Easter Sunday we had dinner with the wonderful Church family. It was very yummy. Then we played a serious game of pictionary. We did miss our Arizona families very much and hope everyone had a great holiday.

Jumping time

Madi and I went with some friends to JJ Jump last week and had lots of fun. Luckily they have preschool age open jump time so you don't have to worry about big kids hurting your little ones. Madi was still kind of small for most of the jumping castles and slides but was totally up for doing everything. We had lots of fun going down slides and climbing over and under things. They had one area that reminded me of American Gladiators. Guess who got the best workout that day? We both needed a nap that day.
I didn't get one picture of her facing me, she was too busy to pose.
What a little ball of energy she is!

We had some visitors!

Sorry we've been MIA for a while but we have just been having too much fun with family. Trevor's sister Tiffini, her husband, Derrick, and their two adorable kids Casey and Sophie came to stay with us for about a week. It was their spring break and I felt kinda bad that they didnt choose somewhere sunny and warm. It rained a lot. But I was very happy that they came so I would have some company since Trev took his national boards last week. We went swimming, to OMSI, the Oregon Zoo, the Tillamook cheese factory, and the beach.

Having some quality cousin time in the princess couch. Isn't Sophie a doll? Fun at the zoo. Madi getting snuggles from Aunt Tiff. I swear she wanted to go home with you guys. Hours fishing in the cold-8 . Fishes caught--0.
At least the guys were still happy when they got home.

Are we bad parents?


First we give her pop rocks, then we make her walk on a treadmill.

POP ROCKS!!

We introduced Madi to the always fun candy, Pop Rocks.

Oregon Zoo



Last week we went to the zoo with some friends and had a great time.
It was warm, in the 60s and sunny and just the perfect day to go.

Curlers Update

Well the curlers didn't work out so good. I think I put them in too early because Madi went wild and tore out half of them. So she has a few pretty curls in the back and the rest was straight. I am going to try a few different things and try it again. I'll definately wait until right before bed and maybe use some mousse or something. Here are a few pictures just to show I actually do her hair. Also she is finally growing out of the mullet stage. Hooray!

Her new Princess couch. This reminds me of a sleepover party.

Madi is really into coloring lately, on herself.
We finally got some coloring books and crayons for her.
