Maddi's 2 Year Pictures!

I think this bottom one is my favorite... but i also love the top one too, and the one where she's holding the flower up by her chest and looking away from the camera! ah! I love them all. There were a few more, but I couldn't even order all of these! It's a shame they charge an arm and a leg for pictues.. oh well...
Maddi did pretty good after a few mintues, at first she was very serious so I was afraid we weren't going to get any with her beautiful smile...but then the photographer tried to snatch the flower away (playing of course) and didn't get it away from Maddi, so Maddi thought it was fun teasing the lady by holding the flower out and pulling it away from her while the photographer "tried" to get it....that how we got most of the smiles. Though it was still hard to get Maddi to stay in one place and not run around and play like she wanted to! On a side note, I didnt think the flower she had was very pretty..but its how we got the smiles, so I figured I could live with it!!

2 years of our wonderful, happy, fun loving Maddi! We feel so blessed to have her. Here is how she has grown! The day she was born,(the pics say the 26th but the date on our camera was a day off!!) Then her first birhday, and then today!! What a big girl! We love her so..

New Dress from Grammie and Grampa!

Grammie and Grampa sent such a CUTE dress!! She had just gotten up from her nap when we opened her package, she's a little mellow and messy hair, but oh-well, she still looks so cute, especially in that dress! THANK YOU!! Also, Aunt Cheryl sent the Baker's apron and hat! Thats as good as we got for pictures of her in it for now. We'll try again when she is more awake!!

Package from Maine!

Maddi got a package from Maine! Thank yous to Grammie and Grampa, Aunt Cheryl, Aunt Alice and cousins Jared, Kenzie and Zander! Maddi had lots of fun opening her gifts and looking at the colored pictures just for her! (It made her want to color!)

Birthday Party #1!!

Sunday night we had Uncle Matt & Margaret, Zach, Kacie, Bailey, Addison, Tori, Courtney, Andrew, and Brynn come over to celebrate Maddi turning 2 tomorrow! We had lots of fun and Maddi got some fun toys and cute clothes. She got a Mr. Potato Head and she thought she was hilarious when she pulled the pieces off of him (the picure with the big smile is her laughing b/c she did it) Also, she got to hold little Addison (with help of course) and was very concerned when the baby cried..."baby cry", "no cry" she would say. It was cute... good practice! =) Also, when we sang happy birthday to her, as I brought the cake up to her she said "hot" and turned away from the candle! It was funny.. she also sniffed the cake instead of blowing the candle out! Silly girl!

Sunday again!!

It was pretty cold out, so I took pictures fast once I took her sweater off!(so we could actually see the dress in the pictures). As you can see in one of the pictures she is kind of bent over with her hands together..she was said "coold!" So we stopped and put her sweater on and went inside for lunch!

"nummy" pancakes!

Cuddle with Daddy & Bunny Slippers!

These bunny slippers were given to Maddi by Gram A and Cheryl almost a year ago I think, they still fit and she thought they were so cute and funny!

Sunday

Our Jedi Knight

This was pretty funny, Maddi was walking around our house with my bathrobe on, and had the most serious look on her face... she was all business.. she had her arms though the opposite sleeves (though I didnt quite get a picture of it..)and HAd to have the hood on, usually with it mostly covering her face.
