Baby Blues

I guess Madden hasn't grew into his eyes yet. They are just so dang big and blue, and look at those eye lashes. You just don't see this much on a 14 month old BOY.
He just melts our hearts, we have so much fun with his sweet personality
Madden likes giving his cheesy smiles too, gotta love this guy.

Brian had a piano recital at schhol on Thursday. They asked any kids taking lessons if they would perform in a recital and Brian loves showing off his skills so he signed up.

Brian did a good job, he told me after that he messed up once but just kept going, I couldn't even tell.
Earlier that week he had a more formal recital at the church with his teacher and the other students. He just loves his teacher, Rinda Hancock, she says she likes him alot too.

Brian playing his song

Brian does really good at the piano, he has been playing for a little less then the school year but he has caught on great. He has a natual talent for it and I hope he sticks to it.

Homemade Train

Mike made a train for the kids on afternoon. I didn't know what Eighmey was talking about when she ran in the house telling me she needed to get something so she could ride "the train". I blew it off and was like, oh okay. Then Mike called me and said I needed to come out and see what he did. This is what he came up with.He hooked 2 radio flyers to his dads tractor/lawn mower thingy. He took the kids up and down the road and all over the yard.

Madden loves being outside and riding in his wagon

These 2 had fun too :)

Eighmey sat on dads lap. Here they are stopped so I could snap a quick pic.

Bath time buddies

Bryce, the kids' cousin, stayed with us for a few days so Madden and him became buds.One morning they ate lots of fruit and got way sticky so I threw them in the bath, they had a good time playing with the toys and splashing at each other

These 2 are 5 months apart, Bryce born in Sept. 08 and Madden in Feb. 09, there is a pound/pound in a half difference, and about 1 inch height difference. Madden takes both those claims. While Bryce was here we kept saying Bryce will teach Madden how to not be so shy (cause Bryce isn't shy AT ALL), and Madden would teach Bryce how to eat (cause Madden eats anything and Bryce is a little picky)

My blog book, 3 new posts

I got my blog book in the mail the other day. I love it. Best money I ever spent for sure. I love it cause now in the future when I can actually go back and scrapbook all these pics and events I can use this book as a guide to remember the feelings we had and things that were said. This may not be useful to some but I have realized how much I have forgotten about the pics I take,(and seems I won't get around to scrapbookin' anytime soon), I need this book. I plan on printing one every year, so happy!It is just like a year book, very nice quality. Next year I will make sure every page is how I want it cause the pictures sometimes don't place exactly like your blog. I was just n a hurry this year.
Oh yeah, by the way, we only have 5 weeks till we meet our new addition, I might add, I will be soooo ridiculously happy when "it's" out.

Madden loves sleeping with his "nie nie".(it is a piece of my silky) I had to get a

pic cause he was hugging it so tight , I just love it.

Like all the drool on the pillowcase? :) Don't worry I washed it.

Crazy J!

Jaimin took his jammies and wrapped them up around him and this is what we got!

Crazy Child!

Crazy kids

This is out of order from the other posts but I had to ad what goofs my kids are. Jaimin likes to suck his nose in and hold it. It was so thin every time he did it so I started taking pics but then it didn't look the same in the pic. It looks like a weird cabbage patch kids nose. Eighmey tried it on for size too. Looks pretty funny if you ask me.

Easter, Easter, Easter!

First, we colored eggs on Saturday night. Madden kept grabbing the eggs and throwing them so I guess we will just have to see if he can handle coloring them next year. In a couple of the below pics Madden has a sticker on his nose, I didn't get a great pic but it was cute cause he went cross eyed to look at it and he couldn't figure out how to grab it he just kept rubbing his face.

Sunday morning the kids woke up to find Easter baskets. Madden tried eating all his candy first thing, wait so did all the other kids :) The Easter bunny didn't do grass this year he did this confetti stuff that looked fun (and it was cheaper ;) It was all over the place. Not such a good idea, we are still vacuuming it up.

Then in between conferences we had an indoor (again) egg hunt. Madden just kept dragging his basket around and breaking all the eggs.

I liked Easter being on conference weekend this year. We didn't have to get all pretty, we were just lazy around the house as a fam. Eighmey didn't even get an Easter dress cause I just didn't care, ha! We had a yummy dinner, played games and took naps.

The talks from conference were awesome. All the talks about raising our little ones makes me excited and greatful to be a mom, yet scared for my children. I pray Mike ad I can be better parents and continue to teach our kids the gospel.

We went to the Easter Pageant this year. We thought it would be good for the kids so they can SEE the story of Easter rather then us explain it every year like we do and it still doesn't all quiet stick :) We had pretty good seats so in the end I took a couple quick pics.

Eighmey was the only kid who got a pic with an actor cause the boys all left for the bathroom and took forever getting back.

We had a fun time. We got there a couple hours early so we made subs and ate them there. Everyone else was bringing little ceasers pizzas while I was making this huge sub on my lap, I say pizza next year :)
