Easter Sunday

We had a perfect Easter. We had pumpkin scones and coffee with Paige's (below) family and Mike our neighbor, before heading out for our Easter egg hunt. The weather was beautiful and we were able to hang out outside for awhile. Paige got to stay for a couple of hours afterward and her and Madigan played with babies and went outside and were just plain goofy together.

The egg hunters:

Finding her Easter basket:

It was soon time to head to brunch so we loaded the girls up and met Paige's papa for a drop off downtown.
And after brunch, this is what we walked home with:
And here's a little movie of Madigan "finding" her Easter basket. She's keeps saying it heavy and the bunny filled it up.


Hope everyone else had a nice holiday!

Pre-Easter Activities

The Museum of the Rockies has an annual dinosaur egg hunt. Madigan even gave Monty the dinosaur a hi-5!





Madigan really liked dying the eggs.


And here Madigan makes some Easter cards.

More chicken posting

We've been letting the chickens out in the yard this past week on the days it's warm. We leave them out for about 20 minutes or so. There's 3 videos below since I thought they were all so cute. I like how Madigan pets them with one finger.
While working in the yard this week, we found lots of worms. The chickens get pretty excites sometimes and other times not so much.

Sabo Ranch Visit

Last Monday, Madigan, Sharon and I headed to the Sabo Ranch near Harrison, Montana. We're doing a 'Grassfed Meats CSA' from them which includes pork, lamb and beef. What we've had so far was the most delicious burger EVER! The Sabos live off the grid and are an awesome family. We went to visit and see the animals. I got to milk a cow! Madigan got some milk squirted on her hand and she thought that was pretty cool. We also helped collect eggs. It was one of the first very beautiful Spring days with 60 degree weather----couldn't ask for anything better.

And here Madigan gets to hold the family rat!

Birthday cake

Kyle made a coconut layer cake for my birthday last week. He really only took these pictures so we had pictures of the cake (really!).

Sweater made with love

I made Madigan this spring sweater from this pattern. I love that she loves it and wants to wear it. I let her pick out the yarn at our local yarn shop. I actually did not like it once I got started (thought it was way tooooo pink), but I think it turned out adorable.

And her Madigan yet again carries her baby in her "belly". This picture looks as though she's been following some large pregnant ladies around all day.
