Tooth #8 Gone

Madelyn lost her 8th tooth with a little bit of help from her mom & dad. On Sunday she and I were playing catch and she caught the ball with her face, or she would say I threw the ball at her face. After cleaning up the few tears and little bit of blood we discovered that her already loose tooth was much looser. Fast forward to Monday morning and Madelyn awakens to tell me that she cannot sleep because her tooth is too loose. She then found her daddy and requested that he pull the tooth, which he kindly obliged.



Ryan now calls her his little jack-o-lantern.

Weekend Fun

Friday night we took our boat out for the first time. It ran well, and for that we are thankful. Now we are just anxious to pull someone on skis or a tube. Although the water was frigid we enjoyed our time on the water and will be spending a lot of time in the boat this summer.




Saturday morning after throwing my back out while tying my shoe. Yes, that really happened. We headed to Bob and Shell's house for the Muhlig Easter celebration. We had such an awesome time...

Riding 4 wheelers

Coloring easter eggs

Hunting easter eggs (there were 126 eggs for 2 kids!!!)

And shooting blue rock





After having a fun afternoon at the Muhlig farm, we headed to Council Grove to have more fun with the Sill Easter celebration. Mom and dad sent us on a scavenger hunt through Council Grove. Terry, Kaitlyn and I were against Ryan, DeAnn, Aubrey and Madelyn. Our team came in 17 seconds behind our competitors. We had so much fun and the winners and losers all received Wal-Mart gift cards. Thanks mom and dad.

Easter morning Madelyn woke us up bright and early to see what the Easter Bunny had left.



Then we went to Church, ate breakfast at Jimmie's Diner and spent the afternoon hanging out at home.

It was a wonderful weekend spent with family. Ryan and I are blessed with amazing families.

Fishing Time

As I was driving down Ranchwood on my way home from work this is what I saw.....








When I walked over to take these pics Madelyn informed me that she saw a turtle and was trying to catch it. A short time later she walked back to the house disappointed that she didn't get a bite. Darn the luck.

1st Grade Music Concert

Madelyn had her first ever elementary school music concert last night. She was super excited about being able to sing her heart out.
I apologize in advance for the picture quality. Upon arriving to the concert we discovered that the camera battery was dead, therefore I had to use my i-phone. Thank goodness we got it all on video though.


Madelyn chose to wear her new plaid dress with her boots. Gotta love a girl with style. :)


The 1st grade class sang 10 songs and Madelyn even got to play the xyolophone (sp?). Mrs. Hurd would be so proud.



Madelyn was disappointed when it was over because she wasn't ready to be done singing. It was a fun concert to watch and we were super proud of our girl singing her heart out. The next music concert will be when Madelyn is in 3rd grade and she will be in a brand new school by then!!

71 Years Young

Happy 71st Birthday to the best Father-in-Law! Although I didn't get to pick my in-laws, I couldn't have asked for a better family to marry in to. Although most men pick a woman that are like their mothers, Ryan picked someone that is just like his dad. :)

We love you Papa!!
