Smartie Pants

So I bought some Smarties to have in the car to keep Madison happy when she was restless and we were taking too long at the store. I left the bag on the floor and walked away for a few minutes, and this is what I came back to find....

 She had ripped the bag open and grabbed a handful of smarties. She was so proud of herself for getting into her candy.



Happy Easter

Easter this year was pretty uneventful for us. There was not hiding eggs and I didn't even make a nice dinner, but it was still nice to go to church and spend time together as a family.

Happy 1st Birthday!

For Madison's 1st birthday we were in Meridian because Alex was on a trip with the school visiting companies in town for internships. It was really fun to be able to share her first birthday with our families. Sydney made and decorated Madison's cake, and did a great job!

Just so excited that she was getting the cake

She wasn't too sure about touching the frosting, we ended up shoving her hand in for her.

She was pretty upset when we took the cake away so we could all have some

I can't believe she's already a year old, time is flying by so fast! What a great, crazy year it has been.

We love you Madison!

She has found the toliet paper. Luckily she didn't get much unrolled before she was caught.

This is her innocent face. How can you be mad when you see that cute little girl?

P.S. Aren't her piggy tails adorable?

Daddy's Little Helper

Alex was childproofing the cabinets since Madison has figured out that they open and there are things hiding inside that she shouldn't play with. She still wanders around to each door and tries to pull it open, hoping maybe the door will open.  

This picture just melts my heart. It is so amazing to see her learning and following our examples. She looks up to us and is always trying to be like us.

Madison's newest toy....

The broom

Too bad she doesn't understand how to sweep the floor yet :)

Mommy's Little Helper

Now that Madison is mobile she is always helping aka getting into things. One of her favorite things to help with is the dishes, especially if they are dirty. She pulls the silverware out and throws it into the bottom of the dishwasher because it makes fun noises. Got to love kids.
