Maycee's TWO

We started the celebration for Maycee's birthday early at Papa Pat's and Grama Robin's. We had a very fun time with all the family together. She received some great presents and we thank you all for them. She loves the fish, bike, the life jacket, and all her art supplies the most. Desiree' volunteered to make the cake for me, she knew I could use some help. It was "Toodles" from Mickey Mouse Clubhouse, one of her favorite shows along with Handy Manny, which she watches everyday.

The second party was at Eric's Aunt Jane and Uncle Franks. His Uncle and his cousin Kristi both have a birthday a few days before Maycee so we combined all the parties together. Her favorite gifts this day were the gummy bears, then the "Tools" from Handy Manny and her scooter. She really didn't want anything to do with the rest of it until we got the cake out and she took a big bite out of it after she blew out the candles. Guess she loves her sugar!

I know I am a little late in posting about Kimberlen's birthday but here goes anyway. We ended up having two parties for her one with my family and one with Eric's family. At my family's party no one had a camera and Desiree' took a few with her phone. If she sends me those I will add them. She had a great time at both her parties. She got some nice gifts and some money to go shopping with.
It is hard to believe that she is already seven. Looking at Brylee it seems just like yesterday she was that small. She said she is excited to be seven so she can go to second grade next year. Let's hope I don't lock her up before then, her "little miss" attitude tends to get her in trouble some days.

We FouNd A hoUSe!!

Finally the search is over! (As long as all the loan papers go through I guess) So we found us a nice home in Riverton, 3 bedrooms, 2 1/2 bathrooms, with a large kitchen, which if you have seen the kitchen in the last house know that this is what I am most excited about and a 3 car garage, which is what Eric is most excited about. We are still in the paperwork process and should be through with that this week hopefully and be able to move in this weekend and next week. I will post some pictures as soon as I get some. And I will start planning some type of house warming party. Anything to throw a party Right?

This is the picture off the website, not a great one but it will do for now.

This was the first outing to s resturaunt. We went to Texas Roadhouse for Desiree's birthday.

She sleeps alot or at least that is when I have photo time. She has colic so when she is not asleep I am usually feeding, burping, rocking or carrying her in her pack to help keep her calm.

I have been trying to catch some smiles that she has been giving me lately. These are the results....

She is doing really good...besides the colic. Which is really tough. With not having any cure or treatment, it is hard to know what is going to help the most. I am thinking of giving her a bottle....haven't decided if I am just going to pump or try formula yet. We will have to see how it goes.

A day at the park

Here we are at the park. We drove all the way out to Herriman to go to this lovely park. Actually it was our way of looking at some houses. We told the girls we were going to the park and we just kept driving and driving. Kimberlen asked if we were really going to the park or if we were just looking at houses. So we stopped and got some lunch and finally ended up at the park. Brylee slept most of the time and when she woke up she was ready to eat, so I got to spend some time in the car.

Afterwards we stopped and both each of the girls an Icee! Maycee just loves it as you can see.

New Baby Boy

This is my cousin Char'lee's new little big boy. He was born on the 15th at a whopping 9 lbs 10 oz and 21 1/2 inches. His name is Ayson Ray and he looks like a two month old and has the cutest chubby cheeks. I was lucky enough to get to be with them all day and night. She finally had him cesarean at 11:30 pm. Both mom and baby are doing great.

Congrats to the new Mommy and Daddy!!

Easter!!

We went out to Grandma' s this year and decorated eggs with Hudson and Desiree'. I kept saying that it looked like a bad idea and I spent most of the time taking control of Maycee and before you knew it Hudson was green and Maycee kept tasting the colors. Both of the little ones spilled a color and Kimberlen got mad when we had to clean up before all the eggs were dyed. Kimberlen got to finish all by herself up on the counter.

The next morning we got up and went to Fisher Park to the Easter Egg Hunt. It was really crowded and didn't last long, but both girls got their fair share of candy. My mom stayed with Maycee in the 2 and under age group and I took Kimberlen across the park to her age group. The eggs were all gathered in one minute and fifteen seconds. We met in the middle afterwards to go through the eggs. They asked us to empty the candy out of the eggs so that they would be able to reuse them next year. I think the girls had a great time with Grandma. Later that night we had and awesome steak dinner.

Easter morning was pretty fun. We tried to get the girls to go through their baskets before they looked for eggs but the Easter Bunny was so kind he made it easy for the eggs to be spotted so that Maycee would be able to find them. This resulted in many breaks during the basket time to get eggs. Both girls were able to find several eggs and got some really fun stuff. We then had a great egg and ham breakfast.

Brylee loved all of the above too. I guess I should of taken a picture of her at the park and then this morning. Oh-well there is always next year. I will post some pictures of her next time.

Introducing BRYLEE JANE

Brylee Jane Madsen

6 lbs. 1 oz.
19 1/2 inches

This little girl was in a bit of a hurry to get here. When she finally arrived we were so happy to see her. She looks just like her sisters, but is by far the smallest. Labor and delivery went really well and we were able to enjoy the event.

This is of her on a little couch. Grandma Robin came and stayed all day so that Eric could go home to sleep and I could get some rest. Thanks mom, we love you.
Eric brought Kimberlen up to the hospital to see her before she went to school. That was exciting for her. Kimberlen just loves her. She says that she could hold her all day long and not even get bored.

Maycee's turn. As soon as she got in the room she wanted Brylee to have her blanket. This is Maycee's favorite thing in the world so we were shocked she wanted to share. She is always concerned about where Brylee is and what she is doing. I hope it continues this way.

This sleeping pictures are just priceless.

This is her first outfit, we're getting ready to go home. Yay!!

She is a bit on the yellow side and so this is just a little sunbathing in the living room today.
