Madelynn Moments

So far in 2015 we haven't done anything note worthy.  We've most enjoyed each others company, and watching Madelynn go from a preschooler to a soon to be kindergartner.  

Top Row: Madelynn is getting ready for Rupaul's Drag Race to Begin.  Mads is Trying On Angie's Wedding Dress.  The First Bike Ride of the Year.

Bottom Row:  Madelynn Showing Off Her Hair Do.  Mads After Registering for School.  Daddy Playing Maddie Crush.  Madelynn Playing Shy.

 It has been really nice this week. We decided to get some outside time today.  Jeremy played basketball, I jumped around with Madelynn's Frozen rope, and  Mads blew bubbles.  It was a nice change to play while dinner cooked instead of being cooped up in the house.

Tea Time

To say my child is spoiled is an understatement.  What started out as an imaginary tea party for her teddy bears turned into a real tea party complete with invitations, peppermint tea, outfits and cake.

Madelynn made three costume changes before settling on her purple ball dress and a white sun hat.  Joining her with costumes were Poppa Dave and Angie.

Madelynn was all smiles, and giggles as she sat down to enjoy her after dinner tea with the family.  She even learned from her father how to stick her pinkie finger out while drinking.

I keep assuring her there are perks to being an only child, and this is one of them. There is no doubt how much this child is loved.

Teddy Bears are Gentle Ladies & Men too.

Madelynn and Peyton

My cousin, Brandi, had little Peyton in January and ever since Madelynn has been enamored.  It is a weekly ritual for her to ask to see the newest photos of 'her' Peyton.  Madelynn finally got to meet the cutest little red head when my cousin Brittany got married in August.  The whole trip back from Idaho Madelynn couldn't stop talking about how cute Peyton was, and how Aunt Brittany looked like a princess.

Sunday at the Zoo

With the sun finally making an appearance in the Northwest, we decided to head out to spend the day at the Woodland Park Zoo.

And the highlight of the trip...

The Park

Jeremy got home at a decent hour on Saturday, and things had dried up from the rain storm.  We decided to take Madelynn to the park.  We found two in our town.  Madelynn seemed to enjoy herself, running from item to item.
