Good times!

Cuddle time with Aunt Leslie!

Cute smile Leslie-lou

Movie and snack time!

Time to rescue a bird out of the chimney...Heidi and her kids had heard something in there for a day or two...

Dad you'll have to comment and remind me what kind of bird this is...

Who you lookin' at?

Subzero ice cream time!!!  We love subzero ice cream...if you've never been, you should go!  They make your ice cream right in front of you...choose a base (yogurty to ice creamy), the flavor and add-ins that you want, a little bit of liquid nitrogen and waaaalaaaa ice cream!  We used to go all the time when we lived in Orem.  We haven't been for a few years, but now there is one about 15 min away from my parents...uh oh :)

Crawling!

Ryker started crawling on March 10th (Aunt Kaye's bday)!

Peanut butter and honey?

or 

Peanut butter and jam?

This is what Mike got from me when he wouldn't just tell me what kind he wanted :)  

Let's just say it was hard to not look at him too often while he was eating it, and it was hard to keep a big grin off my face...but priceless when he did look up at me and I knew he had just taken a bite into the other side... :)

Snow & Magna

Madi would bring snow to Ryker and he had fun playing with it.

He almost started crawling in the video (he did start crawling a few days after this was taken)

Ryker and Charlee!  They are 3 weeks apart!  I love Charlee's dark skin tone, she looks tan compared to Ryker!  So a couple weeks ago Leslie had Spring Break.  My mom said I should come out for the week while Leslie was home.  So we planned to go out for the weekend, then Mike would go home Sunday night so he could work the next week.  One of my brothers would drive me and the kids back home the next weekend.  We got to my parents Thursday night (Mar 7) and Heidi, her kids and her sister-in-law showed up a little while later!  What a surprise!  Luke stayed home to work this time.  Her sister-in-law drove the whole way and the next day she took off to go visit more family while Heidi stayed in Magna.  Leslie wasn't going to be able to make it until Monday, but she surprised us and showed up Saturday night!  It was so fun to have both my sisters there! 

Madi had so much fun following Bailee around and playing with her.

Steven, Sterling and a few of the kiddos.

Grandma and her grandkids (except we're missing Calvin!)

Packing & Piano

A couple weeks ago we were able to spend a week at Grandma and Grandpa Redmond's!  The day before we left Madi wanted to help pack. 

Apparently you're supposed to pack the entire contents of all 3 drawers!  (We left her suitcase home :) )

 She decided to pack Ryker (ok, maybe that was Daddy's idea...)

She fit in there with all her clothes :)

Reading in the toy corner

Looks comfy

Ryker played the piano for the first time and thought it was the coolest thing!

He loved it!

Digger Truck

Daddy had to bring home his digger truck one evening.  So of course Madi wanted to get in it!

(YAY all the snow has melted!)

Ryker thought it was pretty cool too :)

Check this thing out!  Can I drive?

Escape

We have an escapee! He loves being outdoors (thank goodness it's finally warming up!) and heads straight for the door when he gets a chance :)

North Dakota cousins!

Our North Dakota cousins surprised us and came down for a visit!!! Madi is having a blast with them. They are having the best time playing in grandma and grandpa's big backyard :). Madi and Bailee also had fun dressing up as Fancy Nancy, like the book. :)

Madi n Chelsea

Cute cousins in their pjs :)

Static and Sad

Static moment

Sad moment

Ranch, tomatoes & puzzles

A couple Sundays ago I was getting Mike's navajo taco ready and left the room for a minute.  Mike was also in another room.  So Madi decided to finish getting it ready for him.  Half a bottle of ranch dressing and half a carton of tomatoes later...here you go Daddy!

Madi and Daddy did 5 puzzles a couple weeks ago.

TaaaDaaaa!

She likes playing with coins.  She pointed to the coins on the table and said, "Christmas tree!"  I guess they are almost in the shape of one :)
