Random Pics of 2010

Let's be honest. No one likes long wordy blog entries. This blog is dedicated to nothing but random pictures from the first part of 2010. Enjoy!

Dawn is usually the one behind the camera, so to start off, here are a bunch of pictures of her.

Avery loves playing Peek-a-boo. Especially with her momma.

Our little chubby Avery.

Madolyn loves helping dad with the yard work, as you can see.

Carrying Avery in comfort.

Madolyn loves dressing up, and dressing down. Are you really naked if you have a hat on?

Our little rolley-poley butter ball.

Practicing her toe-touches.

Hanging out with Grandma Yee after shopping for the Easter dress.

Finally a warm day in March. Sunbathing with Grandma Yee and Uncle Mason.

Jordan took the young men ice-fishing in March. Not too bad of a day.

The girls love it when daddy comes home for lunch. It all starts out fun.

Talking with dad about the happenings of the morning.
Alright, it's not fun anymore.

Cheesing it up for the camera.

Playing together on the ground. Avery loves it when Madolyn plays with her.

Our little bug high-centered.

Getting ready to go for a walk when it was still a little cool outside, hence the bundling.

Easter

For Easter we headed out to Burley to spend time with Dawn's family. The weather was a bit chilly (shocking for Burley, right?) but we found enough of a warm spell to be able to run out and have an Easter egg hunt. Madolyn loves collecting things, so picking up Easter eggs and putting them in her basket was great! There was even an egg painted like a bumble bee and one like Elmo. She was really excited when she found those two.

Here are some pics of the event.

Easter Pictures

For Easter, Dawn and Grandma Yee went and bought the little girls some Easter dresses. New dresses means new pictures in them. We decided to go fancy this go-round and took them to JCPenneys. Avery was a good little picture taker, but Madolyn didn't have near the patience, especially when we wanted to have both of them in the same picture. They turned out somehow...

Enjoy!

Madolyn's 2nd Birthday

For Madolyn's 2nd birthday we went with the 'Elmo' theme, since he is by far her favorite person/monster/thing to talk about. Dawn put her 'Cake Boss' skills to work and came up with an exact replica. I think you'll agree.

We waited till Saturday, March 27th before we had her little party although her birthday was on March 24th. After I got home from class around noon on Saturday, we had my family come over and Kristin as well. Madolyn got spoiled as usual. We figure that anything we buy now will be used by her and Avery and any other kids that come along. One way to justify it I guess.

Anyway, we got her a little Dora trike, a kitchen playset we found used on KSL, some little animal figurines, jammies, books, a 'My Little Pony', and a ball. Not too shabby for her second birthday.

Enjoy the pictures.

Little Girls

Well once again it has been awhile since we have posted anything on our blog. The most exciting things in our lives and certainly the sweetest part is our little girls. Avery now grabs her toes and can roll, but for now it's only when she's bored and no one is entertaining her, she likes to yell and gurgle in long spurts just to hear herself. Madolyn continues to love being outside and running and kicking the ball around all over the yard, exploring and playing in the dirt, building blocks and is potty trained, hurray! Here are a whole bunch of pictures from the last few months.

Avery and Grandpa Peterson.

Madolyn has pretty much stopped taking naps as of a few weeks ago when we were potty training. She still gets tired and the other day crashed in the middle of her toys and was out.

Daddy, Madolyn, and cousins, Tanner and Colty building a snowman and playing in the snow.

Madolyn took off before we could get her jammies on her and plopped on the couch to finish her popcorn and movie.

Eating popcorn and watching tv, before jammie time.

Madolyn wrestling with Uncle Mitch.

Madolyn showing off her newly curled hair and goofy facial expressions.

I decided to try putting Madolyn's hair in rollers one Sunday and she actually let me. Then headed off to one of her favorite activities, building with mega blocks.
