Easter!

Easter weekend was so busy but very fun. Saturday we had a family picnic with all my aunts, uncles, cousins and their kids. It was such a nice day out and we all had so much fun enjoying each other's company and watching the kids play and seeing them have an Easter egg hunt. That night we went over to the Ernsts' for a while and the kids got Easter baskets from them and got to have another Easter egg hunt. Easter Sunday was so nice. My family all went to my parents' where we got to eat dinner and have another Easter egg hunt. Maddix got real good at this and would call her eggs when she saw them so her cousin wouldn't get them. But she was sweet and they both ended up sharing there eggs and candy.
What a handsome boy!

What a beautiful girl!

My mom and I took the kids to see the Easter bunny and Maddix loved him and didn't want to leave and Brady wasn't to sure about the whole thing.

Rodeo! Yee Haw!

Last week my parents' Stake had a rodeo and I have been going to it since I was a little girl and now Jason and I get the chance to take our kids. Maddix was so excited and has been talking about it for weeks. She really wanted pink boots to wear that day so my mom took her out and bought her some pink boots and a whole outfit. Thanks Mom! She was so excited that day, all she wanted to do was ride a horse and chase a chicken. I have been hearing this for weeks. So when the day came she was thrilled. She got to chase chickens but didn't catch one. She was so close to catching one but as she went to pick it up a little boy pushed her down and he grabbed it. I was pretty close to pushing that kid down. I know thats not nice but it really made me mad. All was well because her cousin got a chicken and she got to pet it. They also had an event where the kids could chase a goat and grab a dollar off of it and of course Maddix wasn't going to let that pass her by. She went up to the goat and grabbed the dollar, I was so proud of her. Now thats definitely my girl. We had so much fun. Maddix keeps asking when she gets to go to another rodeo. Thankfully we go to one in the mountains every year for the 4th of July.

What a nice way to end the day!

Poor Brady!

Maddix loves being a big sister but poor Brady gets the bad end of it sometimes. But I don't think he would have it any other way because he will follow his sister anywhere she goes and takes everything she does to him with a smile on his face. This is just a couple things Maddix did to him over the past couple of days.

She wrote all over his face with chalk and in the car she took a pen to his face while she was sleeping but I don't have a picture of that. What does she think, that he's an open canvas?

Two days in a row she has decided that she would like to do Brady's hair. This is what I hear from her, "Mom what are you doing?" and I say, "nothing just packing the diaper bag" then she will say, "ok I'm just doing Brady's hair." Then this is what I find, his hair matted to his head with gel greased in it.
