Boondocks

Well, we wanted to take advantage of the semi-warm Saturday!!! We took the kids and met Matt's mom at Boondocks! We had so much more fun than we even dared hope for.

Madee loved the bumper boats... but her favorite was the race car ride! She told Matt and Jodee to go faster, faster! She was BARELY tall enough, and probably the toughest out there. I was a little nervous at first when Matt was in the lead of EVERYONE with my baby in the passenger seat. But then I remembered, she's tougher than I am :)

We WILL be visiting Boondocks again... good times!

I wish I were a fish!

I know if Madelyn could choose anything, other than a girl, she would want to be a fish!

We went with some friends to the Living Planet Aquarium on Friday and it was a great time. Madee has been before, but it's been awhile. This was Jackson's first time! (and, yes, I took him to a public place in his pajamas. It was one of those days :) )

Enjoy the show!

Happy Easter!!!

I always love Easter!
I love the flowers, the sunshine (even though this year was cold), the family gatherings, the candy, but I am also so grateful for the time to reflect on our Savior and all He has done for us.

We were able to spend time with both of our families... for various reasons this month and we sure loved it!

Then our darling neighbor had an AWESOME party for us to decorate our eggs... and the kids all won awards for theirs. Madee got the "Most Sticker Egg" and Jackson got the "Most Slobbery Egg". Fun stuff! Here are our kids with their awards and eggs!


Madee was spoiled with many Easter egg hunts. Here's a few pics of two of them. I couldn't put the slideshow on this post, for some reason, so you will see it below.

Growing Up!!!

Our kiddos are growing up!
Madelyn LOVES being outside (when it's not snowing IN APRIL!)... and it looks like her brother will be just like her.

In this picture, Jackson is riding Daddy's old bike (with our help) and just kicks and kicks his legs! So cute :)

And inside the house... Jackson wants to be just like Madee. This picture shows when she's having her cereal, I have to put a pile of cheerios on the table for him. He can't sit on a chair like her yet, but he can stand just fine!


(and forgive the topless 3 year old... Madee is going through a serious phase of hating clothes!!! It's a real challenge)
