Working Hard

So this is our trailer, our home sweet home for the past year.

And this is a preview of our newly painted house!

We decided that this summer we would get it painted up all nice so we can sell it next summer. We've been working on painting the trailer the past few weeks and it is coming along nicely. We have gotten a base coat on the whole thing and now it just needs some touch ups. We are also going to replace the trim around the windows and doors and paint it as well as the trim at the top of the house. It is amazing how much better a coat of paint can make things look better! 

We are so excited to get it done! Now if only the weather would cooperate so we can get this done.

Madison was a pretty good helper too! She loved sitting on the driveway eating popsicles and watching us work. She definitely loves the sunshine!

She was sticky and blue in the end, but super cute!

Yuuuuum!

First rhubarb pie of the season! It smells sooo good, I can't wait to eat it!

All Grown Up

 So our little Madison is turning into quite the girly-girl. She loves looking at her dresses, and she always wants me to put a bow in her hair. She is growing up to be quite the cutie!



The Best Seat in the House

Madison usually pulls out the broom and dust pan and plays with them, but I had a good laugh when I saw her sitting in the dust pan.

She's getting pretty creative these days

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!
