Kids Fun Run - 2013

Ben and Maddie ran their first race on Sunday! Here are their bibs... each received a medal and a goodie bag! They had a great time, and Maddie was so tired afterwards that she actually took a nap when we got home!

Happy 3rd Birthday!

So, our little girl is little no more. Though it seems like she has zoomed past 3 (yes, the Diva attitude kicked in at 2), she's officially 3 years old now.

We had a lot of fun planning for this party, and ended up doing a Hello Kitty party with a Princess twist. Moonbounce, Hello Kitty games and goodies, all topped off with a Snow White visit. Maddie was ecstatic!

Easter 2013

We started off this busy weekend with an Easter Egg Hunt, then off to a birthday party at a really cool kids' obstacle course right here in Bel Air! Well, of sorts. It was a bounce, and indoor tree house all in the same place! After that, we were off to another Egg Hunt. By the time we got home last night it was close to 7:30. Kids were happy, parents were tired! Today we went to PA for some family time. Great weekend - and as usual, fast!

Cute note - Last year, at the same egg hunt, Maddie was more interested in eating her brother's donut than hunting for eggs.... This year she definitely was in the spirit of exploring the grounds for some goodie treasures hidden inside the eggs. Side by side last year (Maddie eying the donut), this year Maddie holding her basket ... and so time flies. Happy Easter!

Gymnastics

Maddie absolutely loves gymnastics. Sometimes I wonder if her cheeks hurt from smiling for a full hour, she pays really close attention to the teacher's instructions and has a blast in the course they set up for tumbling, and jumping and rolling. I think this is her new favorite thing.

All aboard the Potty Train!

Maddie's potty training is going very well! Check out her sticker chart!

2013 Resolution: I WILL BLOG!!!!!

New Year, New Resolutions for the blogs.... We will try again to keep these updated! More to come.

Happy 2nd Birthday Madelyn! Time has certainly flown by, you tell us now that you are "two" when we ask how old you are. You are growing into such an independent, fun, funny, girly girl - You love to try on shoes and mess around with my make up bag. You see me putting on lip balm, and you immediately want them as well. Pink and purple are now your favorite colors, and you prefer the pink tops. You also love it when your dad decides to paint your nails....pink. It's pretty funny watching you and him do a "mani/pedi"!
