Easter Fun!

Madi and I dyed eggs this Easter!! Well, I mainly did it, but she helped color the ones with crayon on them! It was loads of fun and I don't know why everybody doesn't do it every year!

This is our set up! It seemed like it went really fast, probably because I was enjoying it so much!

These are all our fancy eggs! I really like the look of drawing on the eggs with crayons first, then dying around it!

We were trying to get a picture of Madi in her super duper cute Easter dress, but she wasn't staying still AT ALL. So I jumped in and tried to help. This is a miracle shot that we are even looking at the direction of the camera, and all eyes are open! Haha. What adventure it is trying to take pictures of a toddler.

This is one I took after we decided all hope was lost. I had started putting things away, and Madi finally sat down (to pout). So i tried to descretely whip my camera back out and snap something before she moved. Unfortunetly my hand was in front of half the flash, so thats why there are odd shadows.

Kix Tasting

I discovered recently that Madi is tall enough to reach ontop of our table, and almost our counters. So this was my lesson on putting things farther away from the edge of the table. I admit, it was so cute I had to let her jsut do her thing and take pictures from the side. She actually didn't make that big of a mess!

I LOVE this! Looking in to see right where she needs to find them

Those Kix are so yummy!

She spilled some, so she started cleaning those up too!

So, I'm basically trying to back track, and post all of the cute things Madi has been doing for the last month. I know I should be better at this blogging thing, but sometimes, time just gets away from me.

These first pictures on Madi helping me ..."sort" the recycling. :) What a good helper!

She looks a little guilty in this one. :)

This set is of Madi's first taste of Chocolate pudding. Well, any chocolate really. I must admit of been depriving her of the goodness, because I know it's not good for her. I want to do a better job at keeping her healthy than I have myself.

But how on earth could I resist this face?!

She just had the smallest taste, but she REALLY liked it!

Scrounging for Leftovers

This is one of Madi's many daily rituals! When she gets done eating a meal, she has to go looking for the pieces she tossed overboard. She is such a nut. Sometimes I wonder if she is purposfully throwing them over to "save them for later".

I do try to pick most of the food up before she gets down, but sometimes she gets to it before I do. Look at that little guilty face!

Caught in the act of finding cheerios! But man is she cute!

Hair Do's

This is what Madi's hair looks like when she takes her ponytail out. It starts out looking like Manni from Ice Age, Then it slowly turns into a mohawk.

I think she looks like an 90's baby in this second picture with her funny little shorts. :)

Tooth Brush

This is something I've been trying to catch a picture of for a while. Everytime one of us brush our teeth with Madi around, she wants to be a part of it. She's always trying to get her mouth on the other end and"help" us. I think it's pretty cute. It also helps her want to brush her own teeth. :)

Our Super Hero!

Madi likes to get towels, pillows, blankets, and just about anything she can get a hold of, and drag them around the house. She usually does this by draping them over her shoulder. This time it was a pillowcase, and she did the same thing. So naturally we tied it up. The same morning she was also dragging Johns belt around, so we tied it around her waste and POOF! - a Super hero was born!

She really had a blast with this!

Daddy tried to make her pose, she looks a little .. unsure.. to me. :)

A more relaxed pose! Such a good hero!


taking a break from saving the day, to play with her blocks.

These photos are cute, but they really don't do her justice - she really is SO much cuter in person! Especially when she runs through the house laughing at herself!
