First Easter Egg Hunt

Madeline loves to be outside!!!
This is her first EASTER EGG

The fam.

Sarah, Eliza, Madeline, Me, Sadie and Cami!
(On the church lawn)

It was pretty cold so by the end of the "hunt" we
put Madeline's head band over her ears. Her nose was
a red as a cherry!

The Music Man

Dave and I are involved in the stake musical...
the Music Man!
It is extremely time consuming!!! BUT FUN!

This is "Marian the librarian"
( a.k.a the star of the show!)

These are Madeline's new friends!

I get to play about 1/3 of the piano pieces. I take turns
with these other two ladies at the piano!

Time with Dad

Dave likes to take Madeline out on the
front porch to watch all the cars drive by.

She actually is getting faster at watching them!
Her head bobbles as she looks side to side.
It is darling to watch!

Madeline and Gordon's photo shoot

This is the outfit that Becca gave her!
I LOVE IT!
(Those shoes were mine when I was a baby!)

Gordon is just stretching!

Babies and their binkies

Best pals!

She found WHAT?!

I heard Dave laughing hysterically in the bedroom so
I ran in to find that our darling little child has
already found that her finger fits just
PERFECTLY in her nose!

This is what I saw when I went to get her out of the car!

Daddy loves to play with me!

Madeline also likes to suck her thumb.
She sucked clear through her pajamas!
They were soaking wet!
Luckily, she now likes to suck as many fingers as she can
fit in her mouth at the same time.

Madeline loves to play!

I took probably 20 pictures right in a row of her
playing in her bouncer!

We had a lot of fun!

Madeline's Blessing Day

This is us getting ready...
the dress that we blessed her in was mine when I was
blessed! My Grandma Skeen made it 26 years ago!

Dave blessed Madeline. It was so beautiful!

After church at our home.
( We had a pretty eventful sacrament meeting-
my sweet grandpa passed out and we thought he
had a heart attack... it was pretty scary!)
These are the only pictures we got from her blessing day...
