Happy Easter!

We had lots of fun this Easter! We spent time at Grandma and Grandpa Hall's, Great Grandma Nohava's and Grandma and Grandpa Nohava's! It was a busy day and MJ fell asleep as soon as we got in the car to go home. We had an Easter egg hunt, MJ got to ride on her cousin's 4-wheeler (and she didn't STOP smiling!!) and we ate some pretty yummy food. We hope you and your families had a blessed and happy Easter!

Happy Birthday Madelyn Jo!

Well we celebrated her first birthday! I cannot believe 1 has come and gone! We had a busy, busy weekend and so much fun! I do not know exactly how much she weighs or how tall she is because we haven't been to the doctor yet, but here are some things that are going on in our household right now...
-MJ still LOVES her puppy. She now will walk up to him, give him a hug and a kiss and then make a panting noise because we always ask her what a puppy says!
-She really likes to be outside. My parents have a huge backyard with tons of climbing equipment for the daycare kids so she thinks she is pretty cool when she can go out all by herself on the weekend to play!
-She has a temper when she doesn't get what she wants. Josh and I fight over where she got this from! (I am going to say Daddy!! wink wink!!!)
-No more bottles! MJ has been drinking milk for about two-three weeks now. It was the easiest transition! I am so glad she likes cow milk...WAY CHEAPER!!
-She loves going on wagon and stroller rides.
-Her new dancing move is to tap dance! No more bouncing up and down she moves her feet! Very cute!


Check out the pictures of her first birthday! We had a very fun and busy weekend!

1 year old pictures!

We had MJ's pictures taken last Thursday to celebrate her first birthday! We went back to the photographer that took our wedding photos for us. Diana did a wonderful job and they are so, so, so cute! Check out the link below to see the funny faces of Maddie Jo. We even brought a cake along for her to eat! :)

Happy Birthday MJ!

Madelyn Jo turned one on Friday!!! Where has the time gone! This year I decided to make a slideshow for her birthday invite. It was so much fun to do and super easy! It is fun to look back at all the pictures from birth on. What they learn in the first year!!

Maddie and her Friends!

This past weekend we got together with a few friends and their little ones. The kids had lots of fun playing, especially with Max's dump truck! Addy got to push Maddie and then Max looked on until it was his turn. It was really fun to see Maddie running around with her friends. We cannot believe that we will be celebrating her 1st birthday next Friday...where does time go?

Swimming Lessons :)

Maddie had her last swimming lessons this week. She got a certificate of success and everything! Check out a few pictures from her last class when Auntie Nenna got to swim with her!

Little Red Wagon!

For an early birthday gift Maddie got a Little Red Wagon from Grandma Kathy! We put it together the same night and went for a ride. She had so much fun riding in it. Tankers even got to join in the fun! Thanks Grandma Kathy!
