Madyn turns THREE!

it was a beautiful sunday to start out the week!

mom and dad spent most of the day with us.

dad and er hung out and watched some football 

and me, mom and mads went on a walk.

after we ate lunch together eric had to take off to work and 

we finished watching the denver game together.

after the game mom and dad took off to head home.

madyn was soooo sad to see them go!

but she had a BLAST playing in her jeep that

pop pop soooo generously brought to our house without our knowledge...

in addition to the jeep he brought the hysells old playhouse.

monday i was in need of a project...

so it was time to give that playhouse a good makeover.

:BEFORE:

:AFTER:

i love how it turned out!

it was a pretty big project, but i actually finished it a lot quicker

then i anticipated.

and madyn LOVES it!

for now it stays in the house so we can enjoy it during the

winter months :)

monday we found out that as of thursday (mad's birthday)

madyn could start preschool.

she was over the moon!

she was so excited to "be able to read a book like daniel!"

but that also meant that the rest of the week we were busy

filling out paperwork, meeting the teacher, and visiting the classroom.

thursday was madyn's birthday!

eric had to go cheyenne early so we woke up madyn at 6:30 so

he could watch her open her presents.

she wasnt too excited to get up... until she heard the word presents...

then she jumped up right away!

she was spoiled completely rotten!

we had a good morning together.

it was her day so we let her do what she wanted....

and that was to take a 2 hour bath.

lol.

she was pretty excited to turn 3.

she kept saying throughout the day... IM NOT TWO ANYMORE!!!!

that afternoon we went out and took her three year old pictures.

i love the pictures where she is smushing her face....

i kept telling her smile big!

and she would do that and say I AM!

here we go again!

those poor cheeks were sore from smiling so much i guess!

that evening we had tyson and travis over to have 

dinner, cake and ice cream.

we had her favorite- PANCAKES!

and she wanted a PINK cake.

it wasnt very good... and she didn't hesitate to tell everyone that 

it was yucky lol.

the funny story of the night was when tyson asked her

how many presents she got and she replied- too many....

guess we will know better for next year!

the rest of the week was pretty chill and we didnt have a lot else

going on. 

we are so proud of our little miss independent three year old.

but cant believe she is getting so big!
