Easter Egg Hunt #1

The Saturday before Easter we had a little Egg Hunt with our friends the Millers and Hermansens. Maddux's cousins were here from Pocatello so we invited them to join in the fun. 

 The whole group

 We had something like 15 dozen eggs- all the kids got 18 eggs I think.

 Maddux was way more into the hunting this year. He loved it and did it all on his own.

St Patrick's Day

 A mischievous leprechaun came to our house

 and hid Maddux's shoes

 and filled them with candy!

Valentine's Day

 My super cute Valentine's in matching shirts because they know there is nothing I love more!

 Maddux and I enjoying our preschool Valentine's Party

Since Mike and I celebrated the weekend before in Salt Lake our Valentine's Day was pretty low key. I planned to make heart shaped pizza for dinner, but Mike surprised me with Noodles and Co- our favorite lately. I still made these beauties though- heart shaped strawberry and cream pies- they were as delicious as they look :)

Swimming

Maddux has had lots of opportunities to for swimming lately. He has been to a couple swimming birthday parties, we went to the Y, and we have stayed in a hotel. He is getting braver and really starting to enjoy swimming. 

 Loves little slide at the Y

 Besties

 Maddux shocked us and wanted to go down this slide. After going down a couple times with Mike he decided to try it on his own (with someone waiting at the bottom to catch him). He loved it and was ADORABLE. The whole time he walked up the stairs he was cheering himself on "I am awesome! I can do it by myself! This is awesome! I am awesome!"

Jazz Trip

 We were lucky enough to go to Salt Lake with our best friends for a weekend full of fun, food, shopping, a jazz game, more food and more fun!

Thanks Grandparents for watching Maddux for us. I know he had as much fun as we did!

More of my Maddux

I was going through pictures and found this whole folder of pictures that have never been posted. They are all from early fall, I don't know how or why they were skipped- probably because I have been slacking big time in at this blog. Nevertheless, they are too cute to leave unposted.

 Maddux loves to play on our super comfy kitchen mat that lies in front of the heat vent. He reminds me of a cat.
