New Paint!!

Ever since we moved in I have been dying to paint this place! The paint was done so horribly and looked like crap! So after 6 months I finally convinced Bryce to paint! yay! And I must say it looks so much better! I'm impressed Bryce had it all painted and put back to normal in just one day!!

The kitchen is by far the biggest difference! It was a dark dark red and there was hardly any light in there so this blue really brightened it up! I can actually see in my kitchen now :)

New Swing

We have created a monster!! We decided to get Madi a swing so she could swing with her sister and lets just say she LOVES it!!! Every time we go over to Bryce's parents she immediately points outside and want to go swing-
Trying it out for the first time
Brooklynn has finally learned to pump herself- yay!!
Brooklynn sure loves her clubhouse!
Good thing we moved to swing set to Bryce's parent's house cause it has made for two happy little girls!

The Zoo

Back in April Bryce came back from taking his last final and surprised us all with a trip to the zoo! It was finally a warm day and it felt great to get out and enjoy the weather! There weren't very many animals out but is was still fun. All Brooklynn really cared about was the train ride and carousel anyway...
Getting ready to see the animals
brooklynn found a little duck to chase- this was probably the most exciting animal to her.

Enjoying her ride
Madi not so much!
But she did like the train ride!

Brooklynn turned 4!

Brooklynn has been waiting for months now to have her Hello Kitty swimming party and the time finally came! She was excited when I told her Friday that her party was tomorrow! She really couldn't sleep and was just full of excitement as I was making her cake and cupcakes. On Saturday morning she came and woke me up and I said "good morning sweetie" (just like I always do) and she gave me a funny look and said "Mom you are supposed to say Happy Birthday Brooklynn!" I told her her birthday wasn't until tomorrow it was just her party today- and she just said " maybe I can have two birthday's one today and one tomorrow" So we did! Here's the kids swimming at the pool!

Her pretty cake- that took me FOREVER to decorate! But well worth it- it turned out pretty dang cute :)

Blowing out the candles
This was her all day in a nutshell- she was up way too late playing with all her toys and fun thing she got- she was just too full of it to go to bed so she played and played and had to call grandma on the computer to show her all her fun things she got. Finally around 10 it hit her and she finally crashed!
We had a great time swimming, having a great BBQ, opening presents (which she got way too spoiled!!!) and eating cake and ice cream! Thanks everyone for coming! Happy Birthday sweet girl!!

Happy Birthday Madi!!

So this is almost a month late but Madi turned one on April 28th! I can't believe how fast that year went by! It seems like she was just like this not that long ago!
Sorry these pictures got all out of order- but here's a few from her birthday:
enjoying her cake- she was very clean about it!
Wasn't quite sure about everyone singing to her...
starting to eat the cake...
she just stuck her finger in the frosting and licked it off- this made for a very easy clean up!
Here's her cake!
opening presents
the boys had to be right in the middle of it!
She loved this turtle! She is a button pusher (in more ways than one) so anything that has a button to push and make noise- she LOVES!
Of course Brooklynn had to "help" her

Birthday girl!!
We were lucky to have my parents here to spend the day with us- we went to Cabella's, visited the temple, went to a movie, and out to dinner. Madi sure got spoiled but she is totally worth it! She was a pretty east baby and now has started to make up for it! She had turned into a hand full and has such a fun personality! She can definelty hold her own with her big sister and loves that she is big enough to play with her. We love you Madi!!

Easter Dresses

Here are a few pictures of the girls and their Easter dresses- I think this is one of my favorite things to do for Easter is find them cute little dresses :)
Brooklynn was so excited to wear her "Cinderella dress and tap shoes"
Madi just thought- "Oh boy here we go another puffy dress...."
But she sure looked so cute in it!

it's a little difficult to get a decent picture with both of them actually looking and smiling...
I love my girls!
