 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.

March 2012

 For St. Patrick's Day I put together a large playgroup event. We had tons of fun with all of our friends. Everyone brought lots of fun treats that were themed for st. Patrick's day. I also put together a leprechaun hunt and it was super fun.

one of Madison's favorite things is when daddy gets on the floor and plays with her. this is one of my favorite pictures of the two of them playing. she is definitely a daddy's girl.

Madison loves it when i open the door and she can sit and watch all the planes go by at night and sometimes the kitty even comes and visits her.

one night when daddy had to work late and antie Kelly was performing at her school in the band so we went to watch. i was really surprised that Madison was not afraid of the loud music in the building

Madison's playing with her cousin Ethan

one of Madison's favorite things is to play on her bike she got for Christmas but she can only go backwards and typically gets herself in quite a bit of a predicament. However since she cant walk she has found it a most effective way to get around her playroom.
