All my kiddos

Who are all these cute kiddos you ask?? They are mine!! Yep....at least for a couple days each week they are mine!! And one is mine 24/7 ;) For those of you who don't know I do in-home childcare and I am lucky enough to have all these cuties! We have (from L to R) Lily, Riley, Madi and Nathan.
Madi is such a great helper and she loves them as much as I do. We definitely have our hands full but I have to admit that it sure is nice to have babies in our house again. They each are so wonderful and have super cute personalities to match! It has been so much fun watching them grow and change and see all their milestones.

Lily loves playing with little Riley....very motherly already and Riley just soaks up all the attention. Then we have Nathan....look at that face-I think he was telling me no more pictures!! He does lots of sign language and for me, it is the cutest to see him learning as many signs as he can...since I went to school for ASL.

I have to say a big thank you to these kids' parents for blessing me with watching their wonderful adorable children.

Happy Easter!

I love this time of year and Easter is especially wonderful, remembering our Savior and ALL that He has done for us. The colors, flowers in bloom....who doesn't love the smell of orange blossoms-delicious!! Just everything about this time of year is wonderful! Madi loves Easter the best she says because she gets to find eggs. And boy did she ever have a blast. Grandpa took her to and Easter egg hunt on Saturday, then our house Sunday morning and then one last hunt at Nana and Papas house. She was so excited about all her loot she could barely sleep that night...or it may have been all the sweets, but regardless we all had a wonderful day and she really makes it even that much more special.

She informed me that this was her favorite egg hiding spot. She was so thrilled to be climbing up her swing set in search for eggs....she got all the way to the top with no help.

This is just her loot from our house....I think she ended up with 2 big buckets FULL of candy and goodies! I'm so glad that she hasn't figured out that she could climb to the top of the refridgerator yet.
I just love my little princess to pieces and I thank God everyday that she is in my life.

Decorating Easter Eggs

We had such a blast decorating eggs this year. I hard boiled 2 dozen eggs and Madi still wanted to do more! She loves any kind of craft so this was right up her alley. We each got to dye and decorate our very own egg (well Madi did more than one) then we all tried to think where the Easter Bunny might hide the eggs we just did. Madi is very clever and came up with some good spots were eggs might be hidden....she was definitely thinking about every good hiding spot inside and out.

Cousin Time

We were so excited when Bella and Sophia came over to play for the day!! We all went out to lunch then came home and I think the girls spent almost the entire day outside. It was a really nice day and they wanted to take full advantage of it!! They jumped and swung on the swings, rode on the toys, sidewalk chalk and blew bubbles!! They had such a great time together! Brady is always out numbered by the girls!! :)

When it was time for them to go home Madi asked them if they will come again and there was a resounding yes yes yes!! And little Sophia asked me if she could come back the next day!! :) I just love them to pieces!
