Easter in Nebraska

We got to spend Easter with the Birch family! Madelyn had a blast playing with her cousins.

Wishing for snow.

Rory and Lily before the egg hunt.

I'm not sure if this basket was big enough for her.

Hmmmm….. where are those eggs?

Busy hunting.

She was pretty thrilled that there was candy in the eggs.

Ruby sharing an egg. What a nice cousin!

Team effort.

The support staff.

That Easter bunny got a little tricksy and hid some eggs higher than the girls heads.

Thanks for the fun Birchies!

Spring

I believe it is officially here… which is weird. Shouldn't there still be snow on the ground? 

Madelyn is finally figuring out how to pedal.

We have a bunny that lives in our backyard. I'm surprised it sticks around. Madelyn chases it every time it shows its fuzzy little face.

I was excited to find out we have forsythia bushes!

Impromptu dance party. Yeah… we've got good moves.

"Fixing" her bike.

Nom.

Planting our Garden

Rory went to the temple today so it was left up to us girls to get the peas in. Madelyn was a great little helper. Thanks Grandma Jo for the gardening pants.

Cheese face.

Sick Daddy

Rory was sick this weekend so Madelyn put stickers on his face because that would help anyone feel better.

Lily watched and only puked on the floor a little.

Afterwards we buckled Madelyn into her old carseat. My how she's grown.

Happy Rory

Rory's burning again and loving it.

Day at the Park

More fabulous weather! Sara and I met up at the Marysville park and had a great time letting our girlies run around while we had a chat.

Rose wasn't too happy about sharing her swing. Haha.

They had a lot of fun on the tire swing together. It made me motion sick just watching them.

And they all got fabulously dirty. Madelyn had snot whiskers that took a looooong soak in the tub before I could get them off.

Sunday Walk

The weather was so nice this weekend! To celebrate we took a Sunday evening walk to the fish pond.

Rory rocks this beautiful purple baby sling.

Trying to find the fish. They were elusive.

Not falling in.
