Bad Weather

 
 
We have been having lots of rain the past few weeks. In fact, I can't remember the last time it didn't rain at some point during the day. Last night, along with the rain, came some pretty strong winds. I thought I heard cracking, but wasn't sure, and didn't see much when we looked out the window other than the odd blue colored lighting. When I finally looked out the window this morning I saw 2 huge branches on the ground and discovered where they had snapped off. I do believe these trees are too large for me to deal with, so I guess I will be calling a tree service. I might as well have them look at all the trees, just in case one is dying and I don't realize it!

Maddie's birthday,Easter eggs, and Easter morning

April has been a busy month for us! I made Maddie pancakes for her birthday, and continued the Mickey theme with the pancakes. She received a Minnie dress from the Keiskers, and she looks so cute in it! We also dyed Easter eggs this week to pass the time during all of the rain we've been having.
Easter weekend, Abbie and her boyfriend, Sam and Craig, and Ben's parents came down to celebrate Easter with us this year. The kids had a blast looking for eggs that morning, and we followed it up with a yummy Easter brunch. It was nice to celebrate the holiday with all of the family.

Maddie's Birthday Party

Maddie had a Mickey and Minnie themed birthday this year. I still can't believe she's 2! Our neighborhood friends came over, as well as Caryn, Dustin, and Logan and Aunt Barb. The cupcakes were a hit, and Maddie had a good time. Please take note of her outfit. She is my little fashionista, and she dressed herself that morning. I couldn't argue with the party girl!

Getting Ready

I have started to prep for Maddie's Mickey and Minnie birthday party tomorrow.  I can't believe she's gonna be 2! I decided for her birthday to make cream filled cupcakes.  I hope that are as good as they look!
