Photo Shoot

We had a little photo shoot at the house a few weeks ago to try to get a picture for Madelyn's b'day invitation. I don't know how photographers do it, taking pictures of kids is hard!

pretty blue eyes

cheese!

Trouble

Wild

Silly girl

I'm done mommy!!

Stripped and Painted

I finally got around to painting our front door a few Saturdays ago and Madelyn wanted to help. I convinced her it would be much more fun to play with her own finger paint than mommy's yucky paint. I went inside for a second to get some paper towels and I came out to find Madelyn stripped down to her undies and covered in finger paint. She had so much fun making such a huge mess and I got to finish painting the front door without extra help!

sometimes you just need to strip down and paint

making sure to get every inch of herself covered

one must dance while painted to have a good time

Lately

We have been having so much fun lately. Madelyn is such a big girl now and loves to be outside, rain, shine hot or cold this girl loves being in the open fresh air.

Sassy with Grandpa at the waterfall

Circus Fun

We took Madelyn to the circus for the first time and she loved it. She loved all the animals and the motorcycles too.

Cheese!!!

Elephants holding hands (Madelyn thought this was the best)

The lion and tigers were her favorite. These guys were fiesty!

Oh how I love her many fake smiles she does

Of course we had to get a $10 cup of colored ice too

Madelyn loved these motorcycles. They fit 8 in that little ball!

The grand finale!!
