The Parade

I told Michael to show me his candy:

Madi would not let go of the candy in her hands throughout the parade.  She kept trying to fit more and more into her little fingers, refusing to give up any she had already found.

Breakfast on the farm:

On Saturday morning we went to Gar-Lin farms for breakfast.  It was a blast!  We got to see how the cows are milked:

They had a petting zoo.  Both kids loved that:

I especially liked this guy:

Michael got to make some rope:

We saw this calf be born... yep, we saw the whole thing.  It was amazing:

Us on the hayride:

Michael in the tractor:

Tractor wheel photoshoot:

This couldn't have been comfortable, though Michael didn't seem to mind:

Go BYU

I wanted to take pictures of the kids in our BYU hats since they pulled them out of their storage box.  As I was trying to get this picture of Madison, Michael was in one of his very excited moods where he has to be in the middle of everything--

Michael was soooo hyper, but I love his smile here:

Sears Pics

Uh oh.  We've reached 'that age!'  Michael is now to the age where he knows how to NOT smile naturally.  

 I bought the CD to this photography session at Sears, so I get to actually post these pics, which is so fun!  I'm going to post most of them, because i love the cute/awkward ones that don't get picked.  It's just funny to see the kids' expressions...

These ones are especially funny as Michael tries to smile but can't quite seem to make it happen:

 so close in this one...  the photographer must not have done many toddlers up to this point, because she told Michael to put his chin up.  Big mistake to tell a little kid that!  I learned that from my years at Kiddie Kandids :)

Now THIS one turned out perfect!!  I love Madison's little teeth on the bottom that she's had forever and her huge smile.  You are so cute, Madi!

 This one's the one that ended up on the wall:

 Love Madi's face here:

 They both have their tongues out, how did they plan that?
