Madeline is 18 Months!

I can't even believe that our sweet girl is already a year and a half! Seriously, where did the time go?? She is at such a fun age and we're having so much fun with her. She's is definitely a "fireball" as Derek likes to call her :) Her personality is so different from her sister's, it's really fun to see her little personality develop.

At her 18 month check up she weighed in at 22 pounds, 31 1/2" and perfectly healthy! She is already using the potty which we are pretty impressed with! She is talking a ton and running all over the place. Here are some recent pictures of our Maddie.

4th of July!

We had such a fun 4th of July! Derek's Grandparents and Great Grandma came to visit us for a week. Not only did we get to celebrate Derek's birthday on the 4th, we got to celebrate his Grandma's birthday 2 days later! We had such a fun time! Savannah loved the fireworks this year which was a complete 180 from last year. Here are a bunch of pictures, hope you enjoy!

Mexico Getaway

Derek and I just got back from our trip to Mexico a few days ago and we had a fabulous time. I am so grateful to my husband and how hard he works so that we've been able to go on these trips for the past two years. Making President's Club is definitely not an easy thing to do! It was so wonderful to get some alone time together and in such a beautiful place. I have to give a huge thanks to Grandma for taking on the girls for 5 days so that we could go, definitely not an easy thing to take on! Savannah is going through the "terrible 3's" and Maddie is in a major mommy phase, but Grandma handled it no problem!

We didn't take too many pictures as we spent the entire time at the resort relaxing by the pool, going to the beach, taking naps, getting facials and massages at the spa, making new friends....it doesn't get much better than that! We had stormy weather for 2 out of the 5 days but you won't find us complaining! Here are a few of the pictures from our trip.

Tulip Festival 2012

Today we took our annual visit to the Tulip Festival! It was a beautiful day and a lot of fun. Derek and Savannah started out the trip with a tractor ride around the festival. Then we ventured off to see the tulips! You will notice that most of the pictures are of Madeline. That's not because she is our favorite child...haha! Savannah wanted nothing to do with taking pictures today so we took what we could get! I couldn't narrow down the pictures so here are all of my favorites!

Easter 2012

Happy Easter! Ours was filled with coloring eggs (32 to be exact), egg hunts, lots of candy, and fun! The girls had so much fun this year! Savannah seems to think that the bunny is going to bring her eggs every day....I'm sure she will figure it out soon enough :) Here are some pictures from our weekend.

Easter morning

Unfortunately Savannah woke up Easter morning with a cold so we didn't get to go to church. We decided to go on a family bike ride instead! It's our new found sport/family activity and it's so much fun! The girls love riding in their little trailer!

Madeline's 1st Birthday!

I can't even believe my baby girl is 1 already. I have been in a bit of denial about the whole occasion. Madeline is such a happy baby. She is always (for the most part) in a good mood and has a smile for everyone. Her latest things are waving hello and goodbye and giving kisses. It is way too cute! Her favorite saying would have to be "uh-oh". She is definitely a mommy's girl these days but you won't find me complaining!

We had a lot of fun for her birthday. We spent the day just hanging out as a family and then had a party the following day with our close friends. I had a hard time choosing which photos to include because of course I think they are all great, so here are a bunch!
