Power Park

Our summer has definitely been jam packed with weddings, showers, parties, etc. We have been trying to find some fun things to do with the kids on the weekends and its been hard considering we've been limited on days. Sadly, I've had no time to do any postings so I'm very behind. Here are a few pics from one of the first Power Baseball games-Madelyn loves the mascots!

Easter Morning

So this Easter we decided to start a new tradition with Madelyn and she absolutely loved it. Before going to bed we told her that the Easter Bunny would probably leave her something extra special if she left him something extra sweet. We told her to sprinkle sugar on the front lawn and then we would check in the morning to see if the Easter Bunny liked his special treat. Lets just say Jeremy and I were pretty busy once she went to bed. Here is what she
found...




































Lollipops EVERYWHERE! They were in her room, on the stairs, down the hall, and all over the lawn. She couldn't believe it and Jeremy and I loved watching her pick up the lollipop trail while talking about that "silly little Easter Bunny." She did eventually make it to the baskets and here are a few pics of Madelyn and Luke.

Easter Festivities

Our Easter this year was full of baskets, egg hunts, and of course candy, candy, and more candy. Because Madelyn and Luke have three sets of grandparents, that's three easter baskets/gifts from them and then lets not forget about E. Bunny who visits Sunday morning. We started on Friday with a visit from my Dad and Kim and here are some pics of the enormous basket that they brought for Madelyn...

So, after Madelyn overdosed on M&M's and played her singing bunny until we pretty much contemplated hiding it when she wasn't looking, we then headed to our church egg hunt on Saturday morning. It was really neat because every child was able to find a dozen eggs-of course filled w/ more goodies-and then redeem them for a prize. It was amazing what all they had available to kids. So many people had volunteered and donated toys, games, and baskets of all sizes. We came home with a little fuzzy yellow duck that Madelyn named "Cookie." She fit right in with the others....her tiger named "Haiti" (I think she rhymed that w/ Katie) and my personal fave, Chalky the elephant.

Bath Time For Luke

Nemo on Ice

Madelyn had been such a trooper during the first months of Luke's life and pretty much spent most of her time at home with us since we could never leave-not wanting to risk another sickness-I wanted to do something special with just her. So, Rachel and I took her to see Nemo On Ice at the Civic Center. She had a great time hanging out with us girls, eating the oh so expensive cotton candy which I'm thinking must have been spun from gold, and yes the delicious snow cone that must have been shipped from Alaska because I'm having a hard time figuring out why ICE would be $20!

Luke Eats Cereal

Here is Luke at 3 months having his rice cereal for the first time. He didn't quite know what to do at first-notice him getting ready to blow it out of his mouth. It didn't take him long to get the hang of eating from a spoon and really liking it.
