I think it's spring!

Why is it that anything muddy attracts a child right to it? I'm not sure either... but it sure makes great pictures!

She fell down in a puddle... however it didn't even slow her down.

Loving life... I would like you to pay attention to the smart mother who put her in white pants... Yes I am still trying to get the stain out. Ha ha ha... I figure every child needs one pair of nice white pants to play in the dirt... hmmm not my brightest moment.
P.S. I was wearing white sweatpants too.... seriously what is my problem?



Daddy busted out the big bike!! We went on a ride, just down our road a ways, but it was fun to be able to go... All of us. I probably need to clarify... Brian has a big bike (RMZ-450), I have a little bike(DRZ-125), and Madi has a backpack... ha ha ha.. this is how she goes on rides with us. She absoultely loves it. I watched her and she would close her eyes and lay her head on Brian's back and looked like she was getting rocked to sleep. I've posted a video of it so you can see for yourself. It's at the end...
Ok... so Madi has her own "bike".. She has yet to push the button herself though. She loves it when we push the button and make it go for her, but you tell her to push it.... she gets right off. Not sure what the problem is.... ?

It is officially spring here... I think... as I say that I think of how there probably will be one good last snow storm to remind me who really is in charge... ha ha


LOOK AT THAT?!?!? So super funny story. Madi and I get ready to go outside... like always we put a sweatshirt on.. I add a coat on top for her and a hat.. I decided to skip the gloves.. the sun was shining... :) And then we step outside and WHEW!! it's "hot"! So I take off her coat and hat... We walk about 20 feet okay it is really warm... off came both of our sweatshirts! How amazing?!?! No sweatshirt no hat.. look you see that flesh colored limb? that is because I am in a short sleeved t-shirt! How great is that?!? If you can't tell I was super excited! Still am actually... we are having some LOVELY weather!
Every child needs a sandbox. Fortunately for Madi our whole yard is right now!!

This is my dear hubby who turns into a "7 year old boy on christmas morning" when spring comes and he can get "jammied up" (wear his riding clothes - I just learned this term... ) This is the face I get when I want a picture.. ha ha ha I love it it makes me laugh still!

He made himself a jump and a corner... He convinced me that he was cleaning up the backyard while moving the dirt ... He promised it was for the benefit of the yard. :)


 Seriously? another picture?!
muahhh haaa haa.. I am a picture freak... sorry?

Ohhh Daddy's Happy!

I now understand why spring is Brian's favorite season. For as long as we have known each other we have battled back and forth about which season is the better- spring or fall. But I have officially changed my mind. Apparently I have lived in enough places where fall lasts one week which leads to a 9 month winter. Which leads me to believe that spring really is best now. :) Shhhh don't tell Brian. Ha ha ha Just kidding.. he already knows. It's true.. I had to eat some humble pie, but it was alright, I've eaten enough of it I'm getting used to the taste. Ha ha ha
So on a very pretty day we went outside to take advantage of the cold spring day. It was pretty windy which made it pretty cold but the sun was shining which I have come to learn means it is spring. :) We were just going on a walk when Brian decided to head over to the shop to bring the baby bike out of winter slumber and give it a little run around. So we all headed over.. Madi was just thrilled to be outside and walking around. I was holding Madison when...
the best thing happened for a dad like him... as he was getting the bike ready and trying to get it to start Madi walked right up beside the bike and asked to be picked up! She wanted so badly to go for a ride with dad. He didn't say anything but I'm pretty sure he was beaming.... ha ha ha So here are a few pictures of the day..



So sad to be put down... :(

Please pick me up daddy!

They are seriously both so happy right now.. I wish you could see the emotion that they both have...
My overall conclusion - Spring makes my family oh so happy, and being able to go outside and enjoy it is the biggest, juiciest cherry on top!! ha ha
Me thinks we need to move to a place where fall is a beautiful season and not the doom that brings the lockdown of being inside...
