My Monkeys!

Here are some fun photos of the girls. As you can see, they can get themselves into some crazy things.

Allison just left my lap so she could climb up the piano!

Watching the fire really close!

When Allison wouldn't share the car seat, Madelyn created one on top!

Allison loves to climb up and start unloading the dishwasher
Both girls emptied out our bottom shelf so they could fit.


Allison has some strong upper body strength like her sister. She can hold on and hoist herself up.

Allison loves getting the crackers out of the cabinet and Madelyn joins right in.
Time for a pretend nap on the kitchen floor.

4/11/15 Arboretum

Starting in April, I dropped down to working four days a week and so we decided to join the arboretum as a place I could go on Fridays. The kids had a blast there and can't wait to go more often. We are really excited to watch the tadpoles grow from eggs to frogs in Tadpole pond which even allows the kids to scoop them up and touch them. 





Tadpole pond not stocked yet.


Madelyn hiked her skirt up really high so it wouldn't get wet!

4/5/15 Easter

This year it was still pretty cold out for our Easter Egg hung at church.  Allison was sleeping only arrived with Brian at the end of the hunt but at least we got a photo with the Easter Bunny. Madelyn wouldn't go near it and kept asking where it was so she could stay away!



On Easter morning, the girls had fun looking for eggs and also following a treasure hunt to find their Easter baskets which were hidden in the bathtub! After that it was time to head to church and then lunch over at Grandma and Grandpa Giese's. The big entertainment while waiting for lunch was Connor "driving" us to Colorado in Joe's car. He had to stop and fill up MANY times!!!

Easter Baskets for the Girls!


We left carrots for the Easter Bunny but he only nibbled on them.

Decorating their "egg" cupcakes.


Trying to take a photo and it was TOO SUNNY!

Brian took about 100 of these but it's hard getting everyone to look! Here are the best ones.



Madelyn thought Connor was so silly!
