Happy (late) Easter!

AS you can tell, we had a very busy Easter Sunday. We went to sacrament with Joe's family to hear his dad sing in the choir. After church we all took pictures in our Sunday clothes. (Presli was a pain in the butt, I could not get her to take a picture for anthing...not even bribery worked.) We ate dinner at Joe's parents and had an Easter Egg Hunt. Presli had so much fun, there were so many kids to play with. When we are at Joe's parents with all the kids, we don't as much as see her the whole time because there are so many of them to play with! After that we headed to my parents for more dinner and another Easter Egg Hunt, this time a hunt for MONEY!!! Presli had fun "Helping Korver find eggs." Although he had no clue what was going on, Presli was enjoying helping him. And I have no clue why but all she wanted Nate to do was, "Hold You!" So Nate was a sport and held Presli the whole time she looked for eggs! (Pictures later) We had a great Easter Sunday and enjoyed spending time with lots of family and friends!

Madden's Newborn Pictures

Thanks so much to Simply Serentiy Photography for Madden's darling newborn pictures. The session was complete chaos, but they turned out great. I wanted cute pictures of Presli and Madden together, but Presli wanted the spotlight on her. She didn't want Madden in the pictures, just herself. So as you can see, I only got one of my two babies together! Thanks again Serena, I love them!

Happy Birthday Presli!!!

On saturday Presli had such a fun birthday party filled with friends, food, and fun! We can't believe our little stinker is already 2! TIME FLIES!

Love, Mommy, Daddy and Madden

One Month Old Already!!

Madden is One MOnth Old today! I cannot believe how fast the past month has flown by! He is such a good little baby! It's weird to have a little boy in the house, but we are absolutely loving it! After only a month, we can't imagine our lives without him. Presli is still loving him like crazy! She is such a great big sister. She loves to help me undress and dress him, change his diaper, and feed him. Whenever he cries she hollers, "Mommy, baby budder crying!" It's so cute! We love our new addition, and love our little family!










(Presli had to have her picture taken too!)

It's A Wonderful Life!

Madden...

Well, Madden is 5 days old today. He looks so different from when we first brought him home from the hospital. He has been such an amazing baby. The poor thing has been under biliruben lights since Saturday night. He loves to be wrapped like a burrito, so being in the case with no blanket around him has been very hard for him. We were hoping to have him through with the lights today, but we found out we have two more nights!! Not only that, but I have to stop breastfeeding for 48 hours....I am so sad. I finally have a child that is awesome at breastfeeding, and I am told I have to stop for 48 hours. I just hope when I start up again, he will still latch on. Here are a few pictures from the last couple days. We don't have many close up ones cause he has been under the lights non-stop, but we will post some soon......

Madden with his cousins Dallyn and Corbin.

Our poor little guy....I think he looks like a little bug with those eye patches on.

Poor thing under the lights.

Madden with his big sister...she loves him to death!
