April 2012

 I know this is lame but i'm so excited i finally got a pony tail in her hair!!

 we have been spending lots of time outside because its been  so hot lately. so we got this sweet water table on sale at toys r us for almost half price so we play with it out side almost every day.

 Can you tell she's my best friend!!

 playing in the big pool

 Daddy even came out and joined us when he got home from work!

 We also did our first finger painting with auntie Kelly. Madison usually isnt into trying new things but since auntie kelly did it first she was willing to try it at least once and after she really liked it so we finger painted for like an hour and a half.

 by the end the painting was so fun she was doing it with her hands and her feet!

 she finally learned to walk!!!!!!! and she loves to play basketball when daddy will play with her and let her put the ball in the basket

 Found this idea on pinterest on  how to teach your toddler to die Easter eggs easily. i have to admit it worked great!!  i was a little worried but we all had a good time and Madison got to dye her Easter eggs for the Easter bunny

A couple of days before Easter i put together a large Easter egg hunt for a playgroup that I run. Anthony had the day off so he was able to attend it and i got some great pictures of the two of them.

 

 Opening her Easter basket which contained some chalk, finger paints, a swimsuit and towel, new bow's, new paci's, and a set of Easter themed little people

 We ended Easter spending time with my dad's family in Temecula. and here's a picture of Madison with her favorite auntie Kelly in the hammock at my aunt Teresa's and uncle Rob's house.

I know there was already alot going on this month and we had recently had Madison tested for a developmental delay and was found to be more than 30% behind her age group i really needed something to get my mind off all the drama going on. so we decided to take Madison to the zoo and just spend time as a family.

 some of our summer fun with friends even though it was only april

 we drove all the way out to eucipa to visit a friend who was here from Utah for a race. to make Madison happy and easier to deal with we took her to a park so we could visit...it was a great day.
