Happy Easter 2010

A little late but I guess its better late then never :) We started the day by getting up an hour earlier than we would normally because my clock Sprang forward again :( But it was ok! Worked out to where we had PLENTY of time to enjoy what the Bunny brought the girls! And he even hid a MILLION eggs outside the front of our house! The girls were beyond excited!
After that we went to church at 9 am and boy was it PACKED! We got there about 830 and we still had to sit outside. The girls were VERY well behaved and enjoyed sitting outside in their pretty dresses. I was very proud that they sat there and read along with the readers the whole time! And of course everyone said how gorgeous they were and how well-behaved! Made me feel so wonderful! I love hearing how well-behaved my kiddos are! And I do have to say that they really are very well-behaved! Only with occasional flareups! Anyways! We then headed over to my parents where the girls had yet another egg hunt! And of course got lots of candy! Girls had LOTS of fun!!! For dinner we headed over to Colins parents house. And yet again another egg hunt! Girls were pretty good at it now! LOL They had soo much fun and were in such great moods the whole day! I am so very blessed to have such great kiddos :) LOVE THEM!

Snow Birthday Party :)

This was at a friends little boys birthday party :) Everyone had a lot of fun! Especially Madison and Colin! HA! Madison got to get in a snow ball fight with a older boy LOL!

See told u that Colin had fun too :)

yea this was seriously the cutest thing. He is the older brother to the boys that had the birthday party! As most know my girls are pretty rough. So David was in heaven when he threw a snowball at Madison and she threw one right back. SOO they chased each other pretty much the entire time throwing snowballs at each other! SO DARN CUTE! Not sure if Daddy thought her playing with an older boy was as entertaining as I did :)

And even RYLEE touched the snow :) WHOOP WHOOP!

She had just slammed one at him and took off running the other way before he could get her! Notice his intense face :) :)

At the park with daddy!

On the top of the rock climbing wall with Daddy!

They are soo stinking CUTE!

My baby in the swing! She LOVED it!

Big Girls playing in the sand!

Abigail 8 months :)

We went to the doctor because of her allergies and her very odd behavior the other night. Come to find out it was an allergic reaction and she has SUPER bad allergies. OH MAN! BUT the good thing is she is growing great. 17lbs 9oz which puts her between the 10th and 25th percentile. BIG difference from her 6 month appt. She was over 75 :) Her length is 28 3/4" that puts her in the 75-80th percentile...so she is one tall skinny girl!!

**EDITED TO ADD***
I wanted to add that until this last dr appt we had always measured her as her DUE DATE not her actual Birthday since she was premature. SOO that is why there is a huge jump from last time being in the 75th percentile to now in the 10th! but hey at least she is on the chart now :) :)

Kids say the Darnest things---Madison!

Sorry Facebook friends BUT I had to post it here too because it was just the FUNNIEST thing EVER :)

This is a conversation I had this morning while telling my oldest daughter who is 4 (5 in July) to go get some clothes on to go to school

Me- Go get dressed for school
Maddie-(goes in closet and is digging through everything huffing and puffing)
ME--Maddie whats wrong?
MADDIE-Mom, I just have NOTHING to wear. I NEED new clothes. All the clothes I have is for babies. I need something cute. Hayden** is going to be at school today
ME-WHAT?!?! (Dying laughing at this point)
Maddie-Mom its not funny. All my clothes are ugly. I want NEW ones
ME-Little girl u better hurry up and get some clothes on
Maddie-Mom, I am FOUR now almost FIVE and these clothes are just NOT cute anymore
ME-(Grabbing some clothes for her to put on) Put these on and get in the car
Maddie-FINE but i dont like them
Me-U dont have to like them. I do :)

**Hayden is a little boy at school that is in love with Madison and Madison with him! SO DARN CUTE! although Daddy doesnt see it that way! She once told me that she was going to Marry him so she could kiss him! I said Good Job...as long as ur married u can kiss :) :)


I seriously could NOT stop laughing at this. She is FOUR years old and worried about what she is wearing because a boy she likes is at school! OH MY WORD! I am just in shock! LOL! I guess I can add this to the Kids say the darnest things :)

Daddys Birthday :)

Colin got home this month just in time to celebrate his 24th birthday :) Girls enjoyed helping me decorate his cake and Madison had a soccer game that night. It was the first one Colin got to see! And it was ADORABLE watching him stand on the sidelines :) then the next day we had his parents, sister, brother and sister in law (HEHE) over for dinner. We had a lot of fun for his birthday!!

Opening gifts from his parents and siblings :)

Yep I made him cook for his own birthday :) Only the night of his parents coming over :)


Big girls helping him cook!

Trike a Thon for St. Jude

At the Big girls school they did a fundraiser to raise money for St. Jude. They got to bring their bikes to school and ride around in the Main hall at Church and they had a BLAST :) I remembered my camera for Rylees day (the girls had to do it on different days since Rylee is in the 2 year old class and Maddie is in the 4 year old class) but I totally forgot to bring it for Maddies. BUT Colin did take some with his phone so I will post it when he gives me those pictures! I am sure as soon as he reads it he will send them! HA! Anyways! If you would like to help St. Jude and donate for them here is their website! stjude.org It is a GREAT organization and I hope you decide to make a contribution to them :)
