A weekend with Grandparents.

Daddy and Maddie had a zoo day together while Mommy was at the spa with friends.


"Lunch with Daddy is so much better than what Mommy feeds me"


"Ahhh. So this is why the cat likes to bake in the sun."


Feeding the ducks at Centennial Park with Grandpa Schneider.


Yes, I still have 6 weeks to go.


"All I need now is a martini."




Maddie, the Storm Chaser....There were strong storms and tornado warnings on Saturday.

We made edible play dough out of peanut butter and powdered sugar. Maddie couldn't resist dipping into the peanut butter.




"One elbow to the groin and he'll put down that dang book."


We found a turtle in our backyard and got Maddie to touch it.


Date night. Thanks for babysitting Al and Elaine!


Arrington Vineyards.




DVD, headphones, sunglasses upside down...the usual.

Perfect day for a hike

Last weekend we went on a short hike at Radnor lake. Maddie loves the outdoors...and wearing sunglasses upside down.




Jon likes to hold Maddie's hand knowing that one day she will be a teenager.


"Last one to the minivan has to empty out my potty."



"These steps are easy...I'm ready for Pike's Peak."

Easter

Look! It's a bird, it's a plane, it's a ...a tree branch.


In our Easter dress after church.





Dyeing eggs...pink, of course.



Given the potential for bad spills, we decided to go shirtless



Decorating our freshly colored eggs with stickers.

Video-proof that Maddie actually sleeps in her bed.

Just pictures.

Solving the world's problems....one at a time.

Standing by her cherry tree. Wearing her raincoat and boots, just in case.

Filming a child-safety video.

"I wonder what Mommy would do if I threw this against the window?"

"I think there's something out there they want us to see."

"Doesn't he know I'm not in to sailors"

Sitting next to her 2 favorite things in the world.

She loves covering the cat with towels. I don't think Casper's a big fan of this game.

Casper's in for a little surprise when he sees who's here to visit.

We occasionally find Maddie like this during the night...still getting use to her big-girl bed.
