April 2009 pics

Madison was so excited when she opened her birthday gift from Uncle Scott & Aunt Denise. She could hardly wait for me to put the back wheels on so she could ride it. Thanks Scott and Denise for the cool motorcycle! She loves it!
Checking out all the cool sound effects.


Attempting the splits.....and being a show off.
Madison had fun finding her Easter basket this year and opening each of the plastic eggs to see what treat was inside. Unfortunately, Bernie got a hold of a few of her chocolate eggs that day too, and we had a dog with a little bit of a sick stomach.
Hugging her stuffed chick
Grandma & Grandpa's house Easter Sunday playing with the cousins and having fun on Addie's cool new riding toy.
Posing for a picture in her new spring dress.
Hunting for Easter eggs in Grandma & Grandpa's back yard.
She thinks it is pretty neat to put her hands in her jean pockets and walk around.
Madison, Emily and Addie with their eggs after the hunt.

Madison had so much fun decorating eggs at home, but had little patience for using a spoon to put the eggs in the coloring. Her hands worked much better.
At the end of egg coloring, there were only 2 eggs out of seven, that hadn't been broken with her tight little grip.Giving me that cheesy grin while playing on her new slide.
There it is again.Daddy, baby & dog....all tuckered out.

Madison & I went with my friend Christel & three of her boys and another friend Cheryl to the Tulip Festival at Thanksgiving Point at the end of April. There are around 250,000 tulips throughout the gardens. It was gorgeous!!!

The grounds at Thanksgiving Point are absolutely amazing & beautiful.
We have a duck that laid eggs in our back yard. It has been fun to keep an eye on her and we hope she'll stick around for a little while with the babies after they hatch. Madison spends a lot of time at her drawing desk she got for her birthday. She is our little artist.
