Last Snow "People" of the Season

 Our last snow dump caught us a bit off guard.  The good news - perfect snowman snow!  Dane and I got to work and the melting started almost immediately.  When Maddie got home from school she wanted to make her own creation.  You can see how much snow melted in just a few hours.

March Moments

Someone is very excited to be in an upcoming wedding! Maddie and her AG dressed in a bridal dress-up.

 Dyeing eggs - always fun!  Dane loves to eat them too!

 Emmie at 17 months.  She loves brushing her teeth, so the picture with the toothbrush seemed so appropriate!

 Maddie had to bring in a collection of 100 things.  She decided to collect bottle caps.  We had to enlist the help of some family and friends, but she did it!  She then used her creativity to make her flower picture.  Emmie wanted in on the fun too!

Dane Caught March Madness!!!!

Dane just loves basketball.  He loves watching it and he loves playing it.  He knows all of the Purdue players and gets really into the games.  He is often in basketball attire and will change into his "uniform" as soon as he gets home. 

He came up with this idea...

 He loves playing outside when it's nice enough.  We got hit with snow today and his first comment was, "Now I can't play basketball outside!"

 He still loves football too...  These football guys are his favorite.  He really wants the basketball guys - his grandparents are going to make his day with that surprise!

Dane can play basketball all day long!

March B-days!

The kids were so excited for daddy's birthday!  They picked out gifts this year which included a 44 (Using Dane's iron on sport numbers) basketball "jersey," whistle, dry erase sport clipboard, Purdue socks and family pictures.  Happy birthday to an awesome and amazing dad and husband!

 Grandma had a birthday recently too!  We went out for a joint-birthday dinner.  The kids got an ice cream cone for dessert.  Emmie devoured it!!  Happy Birthday to our sweet and incredible grandma/mom!

Oh Emerson!

This little girl loves to climb!  She pushed stools over so that she can climb up to where she wants to get.  She looks so proud, doesn't she? I had to put away the safety gates because she started trying to climb over them...she got too close!

 She likes to be "up!"

 She won't keep on mittens, socks or shoes.  Awesome when it's freezing outside!

 She doesn't stop moving!

 This is what the back of her hair looks like!  There is often food in her hair and inside of her clothes...she likes putting things down her sleepers especially.

She likes to pose for pictures and tries to be silly.  The girl likes getting a laugh.

She loves climbing up to ride the horse and she isn't shy showing off her belly button!

American Girls!

We had so much fun taking the girls to American Girl Place.  Going on a Friday night worked out great!   We only wish we had more time to explore!

 Maddie brought Saige and Caddie.  Saige got her hair done and what a difference that made!

Maddie had a great time!

First V-Show!

Maddie and Claire had so much fun practicing and performing their "Waldo Act" with many other friends.  It was quite an event - 4 shows over one weekend!  I was on the makeup committee (that's a whole other story) and had 2 eager customers! :)  Can't wait for the next one!
