mother's day! graduation! car show! and everything in between!

for mother's day eric made me a wonderful
poached egg breakfast. 
it was a pretty good day.
we had accidentally slept in so we were late for church.
but we had a good day and madyn made me 
a little craft in moonbeams. 
it made my day.
we came home and all took a very good long nap...
after eric took off to go study.
so it was just me and mads for the rest of the day.
she's a pretty goofy girl.
she insisted on doing my hair.....




that night me and eric got no sleep...
he was suffering with a cold and had made himself sick
by worrying about this final in Adult Health.
i was getting a sore throat, my back hurt and i just couldnt get comfortable.
it was a long long long night.
monday we got some cleaning done around the house
and ran some errands.
mark and his family dropped by to say hi and store some
moving boxes. after a few minutes of chatting we 
decided to go get some pizza.
we had a good night visiting, eating and letting the kids play.
madyn is all the sudden is obsessed with fishing...
she loves her elsa fishing pole and reeling in her fake blue fish.
tuesday madyn went over to their house 
and played for a few hours.



they sure are a goofy bunch!
that night me and eric had such a good night
just being together and playing some games.
it's been FOREVER since we could just be together and just enjoy.
but then i started really not feeling good and had caught eric's nasty cold.
wednesday eric finished with all his finals!
me and mads made our egg planters for our G week.
so they could Grow Grass hair.
madyn calls them her little guys.


she is pretty obsessed with them.
and she tells EVERYONE about the ant that was in the dirt
of her girl egg.
my girl does NOT like spiders, bugs or anything of the sort.
so she decided what she wanted on each egg and the features that they had...
so little miss learned about freckles.
later that day we were hanging out together and she said
MOM! you have spots on your face! we wash them off.
and then she proceeded to try and wipe them off.
a little while later around 6 little miss had drifted off to sleep....
i couldnt budge her! she was so peaceful!
she woke up by the time i was off to young womens so i figured she would be ok....
i guess she was in and out of sleep the rest of the night...
i think the little stink finally hit her breaking point!
by the end of the night i was dead. 
seriously this cold is really kicking my butt.
well since madyn went to bed so early she was up at the butt crack
of dawn! she wanted to hold hands... help her fix her blankets..... watch goldie and bear....
finally she hopped in bed with us.
who knows what time that all took place.
i wasnt about to pull out my phone and look.
but it all transpired before 6:30 when eric got up for the day.
needless to say it made for a pretty long day.
mads had her annual play date with katie, i had to watch colter, and
we had lots to do around the house.
and even though eric was done with finals, he had to work
all day thursday and friday..... so we were pretty bummed.
that afternoon we went over to washington park with brandy and the boys
and had a picnic and let the boys play.
it's always nice to let mads run around outside.
and of course we had to let her swing.... FOREVER!.....
i really wanted to get the little stink down for a nap since she had
been awake so early but i had an appointment that afternoon so i couldnt
really get her down.
but she handled the day like a champ.
but didnt make it for when mom and dad got into town.
they got in pretty late so we pretty much said hello, goodnight, see ya in the morning.
madyn popped up soooo excited the next morning when she heard
dad talking to eric.
she was pretty thrilled to have her grandparents around.
we spent the morning getting ready and running a few errands around town.
we had a pretty good day of relaxing.
madyn was obsessed with being outside and all she
wanted to do was play play play.
looks like we will be out a lot this summer!
and i cant say i can complain.
that afternoon tony and carilyn got into town as well.
we had everyone over for hamburgers and a bbq later that evening.
madyn was ecstatic that she had both grandmas around.
saturday was mark's graduation.
it was loooonnnngggg. but we were proud of him and this
major accomplishment.
after pictures and everything was all over me mom eric and mads
took off to foco to meet up with dad at the car show.


they won 1st prize! pretty exciting!!!
it was so beautiful in laramie and just as we were making
our way up the summit to happy jack
it got super foggy.... i was not dressed for the cold weather.
(and didnt have madyn dressed for it as well.)
but seriously when is laramie ever nice then fort collins is?!?
so we pretty much froze the whole time.
after the car show, we went next door to hooters and had dinner....
and i got to say.... i really actually enjoyed it. lol.
the food was pretty good.
that night judi brent and jill came over and visited for a bit.
then we all headed to bed.
im pretty sure we were all EXHAUSTED!
it was a pretty good week:)
