Fun Saturday with the kids!!

I usually work on Saturdays but I had the day off so we took advantage and had a family day. Ryan did some yard work in the morning and worked on the garden. Everything is starting to come back into bloom so we took a few pics of the progress. Here is our orange tree....

On April 22 Maddie turned 10 months old. She is growing so fast, we are trying to enjoy every minute. Here is what our little princess has been up to....


*wearing 12 to 18 month clothing


*wearing size 4 diapers ( I had to move Holden up to 4's as well because I did not want to buy 2 different sizes but he still could be in 3's


*scooting all over the place. She does the army crawl instead of a normal crawl but she has gotten pretty quick


*Loves taking baths in the big tub with her brother


*sleeps from 8pm. to 8 or 8:30am


* takes one afternoon nap for around an hour to 2 hours


*always wants to be around people


*she just started to talk. She says dada very clearly but mumbles more words that we can't understand


Happy 10 months miss Madeline we love you so much!!!!







Happy Easter

Holden and Maddie had a really fun Easter. When Ryan was a little boy he would get a towel and make it into a nest and then the Easter bunny would come and fill it up while he was sleeping. We thought it would be cute to show Holden this tradition and we had him make a nest, we told him the Easter bunny was going to come and fill it up with lots of fun treats! He was really excited. Here is a picture of his and Maddie's "nest"
