Rodeo Parade

Kimberly, Riley, Lily, Madison and Madison.

We met our friends and watched the Rodeo parade on Saturday morning. All 5 girls had fun playing together. Carson was very content pushing his train around. He got excited to see the trucks and cars, anything with wheels. He was happy when he saw the "airpane". The parade was almost 2 hours long but we survived the whole thing.

Water Fun

I just love this picture. What a happy girl!

Last week was so warm and we decided to play like it was summer. We set up the sprinkler and before we could change the kids they were in there in their clothes. They had so much fun. Madison more than Carson. Carson loved the water, but didn't like if it was over his head. He would get wet and not know how to escape. Madison was just having fun being a kid.

I can't believe it

I can't believe I am starting my third trimester of this pregnancy already. We only have three months (or less) before little Jackson joins our family. We have so much to do to get ready for his arrival. Time goes by so quickly. I am a little sad because this will be our last pregnancy, but happy that our family is growing again. There are babies all over and once again one will be joining our home.

That's my girl

My little girl went to the dentist and as she was leaving her hygenist let her pick something from the treasure box. I knew my girl would choose the cheesy "real" makeup. She has eyeshadow in about six different colors, but as you can see blue is her favorite color. I should have taken a picture of me, I was blue as well. Raising girls is fun!

First Pony Ride!!

Anyone that knows Madison knows that she just adores and loves horses. Well this morning I asked Madison if she wanted to go on a pony ride at Vintage Days and it is all she could talk about for at least thirty minutes. We met Aunt Kristi, Aunt Sandy, and Mema at Vintage Days and as soon as we ate lunch she was wanting to know if she could ride the horsies. We found the pony rides and she was very happy to get to see the horses and as soon as it was all over she told me she wanted to do it again. I feel like she is starting to come out of her shell a little bit. She has always been a little shy and reserved, but today nothing was going to stop her from riding the ponies.

Easter

Our Easter is not what I had planned, Carson woke up in the middle of the night sick with the flu so we stayed home and relaxed all day. Grandma, Grandpa, and Uncle Bob came over in the morning to have breakfast / brunch. We played with our Easter basket goodies, played games, played outside and just hung out around the house. Grandma was nice to cook us Easter dinner and deliver it to us so we didn't have to cook. Thank you Grandma. I am so sorry Bubbs that you weren't feeling up to celebrating. Just hope you get better soon.

I was remembering how last year Madison was sick, vomiting and fever, and now this year it was Carson. I am starting to think that we are cursed. Hopefully next year will be a happy healthy Easter!

Easter Saturday

She wanted to cross the cattle guard all by herself and although I was nervous she did it. She told me she could do it becuase she was three now!

Carson's first (and only) Easter Egg Hunt. He missed the one on Easter because he was sick.

We celebrated Easter on Saturday with my side of the family. We went up to my Uncle Greg's house and had a bbq. We walked around, played outside, took walks to see their horse and cows and just relaxed with family. Madison was so worn out that she fell asleep when we left around 5:30 and didn't wake up until 6:30 the following morning. Carson was grumpier than usual, which now I now why. He got the flu later that night so probably just wasn't feeling well. We had fun and enjoyed seeing the family.
