My Baby Is 2!!!!

I can not believe Madalynn is 2 today, it seems like time went by so quickly and other times more slowly. This little one is so different from my other 2, she has attitude like you wouldn't believe and the funnest personality. We have never had to baby proof our home before but with Madalynn I am on the verge of baby proofing. She doesn't get into everything but enough that we might need to baby proof. She is the 1st one who chooses to go to me just as much as James(the other 2 would always choose James over anybody else) and I love having her snuggle up to me on the couch at night when James is at work. We are so grateful to have her in our lives we love her so much!

I am excited to post this, I am giving it a go and trying to make a small business from home. I am excited for some sales that are coming up here and we will see if I can make this successful. Thanks to Evaly for help on this great business card! If you know of anyone interested tell them to call me or email me!

Our Itty Bitty Warrior

Madalynn went to a preschool at Aloha High School, their mascot is the warriors.( hence the name of her class) We were worried about her because she doesn't like to leave us and won't go to nursery without screaming. The class was just over 3 hours and she has 3 High school buddies with her every Wed. They said she cried and was nervous at first but got better as the time went on we are so excited for her.

They told us to bring a comfort object to help the adjustment, so she got her Blankie.

Warm & Cozy!

Madalynn is such a character sometimes, I was just telling my mom that she has more attitude than Olivia & Will but together! This coat was her winter coat last year and it made me smile to think of her wearing it at Temple Square for the christmas lights. She couldn't put her arms down the coat was so puffy and it reminded me of the kid in A Christmas Story! Anyway it still fits this year and while trying it on she got away from me and was giggling with it on. The funny thing is the bare legs sticking out of a winter coat and the coat is still very puffing and must be heavier than her she tipped as she walked. The coat was making her top heavy so she couldn't walk straight we all laughed which made her laugh. She is such a fun little girl but she is starting her terrible 2 stage, I can't believe my baby is turning 2.

Their 1st Day Of School!

I can't believe I have 2 kids in school now, they both were so excited to get up and go to school! Will is in AM kindergarten and will get to ride the bus to school with Olivia and then they both come home separately. Will said today was the best day he was so cute and happy. Olivia also came home super happy and excited about the 3rd grade.

The kids before leaving the house this morning.

As usual the school was so crazy the 1st day we had to park a little bit away and walk to the school. The kids loved seeing all the other kids walking to school also.

The kids outside of the school, and yes they have coats on it was 51 degrees this morning when school started but by this afternoon it had warmed up to the 80s.

Even Madalynn was excited this is on our walk over to get Will off the bus. She was so excited she kept saying wheel which of course is how she says Will. Since starting to walk a little while back she has started to get a very independent streak and she also has been a little grumpy 2 year molars are coming in. I very rarely get a good picture of her these days, she sees the camera and looks away or down and says cheese, it is very cute but frustrating to not see her face. Oh well, we love the personality she is getting.

Cobble Beach

On our 1st trip to the coast we went to Cobble Beach.

Where the sand is supposed to be there were all these rocks. It was really cool but even harder to walk on than sand.

Madalynn loved playing with the rocks while the older kids looked at the tide pools.

James, Olivia, and Will heading to another part of the tide pools.

The kids loved the tide pools looking at all the sea life. This is also where Will got the rock in his foot. We are so excited to go back and see it again.

Hello or Hawoow

Madalynn is so funny about the phone, she calls it a Hawoow(her hello) and loves to walk around the house with play phones or our cell phones (which are locked) and talk to it. The funniest thing is that I let her talk to Grandma Hanson and Aunt Heather and when I took it away she was so mad that she couldn't have it anymore she starts saying Hawoow in a whining voice so it drags out the woow. This phone was at a museum we went to and we couldn't get her to leave we had to drag her away crying.
