| Madelyn!! You are so amazing and this has been such a fun age with you. You're super clumsy, you trip fall, scrape your knees, and flat fall on your face very often. You also have a word quota that you need to meet daily, I have NO clue what the quota is, but I do know it is a high one. you're always telling a story, or just giving a play by play of exactly what's happening at any given moment. When you wake up we ask you if you had any dreams, and the answer is always the same, "I had a dream about Milo." You tell us you played ball or ran with him, and then you go on to say, "I was a baby last night." You like to tell us that you played with Colin's toys, or sat in his high chair, it's pretty amusing. |

| Colin's first time swimming!!! He was not too impressed when he first got in, but we put him in a little boat and Madelyn towed him around the pool and he loved it! |
 |
| Mr. Colin enjoying a nice tow around the warm pool, thanks to your strong brave sister with NO FEAR in the pool! |
 |
| Family tree!!! Making use of that mini van, look at all that space!!! We were going to have a tree delivered but, we have a van! So we loaded that Autumn Blaze Maple in the back of the van, and set up the awning and kids pool so we could play and swim and cheer daddy on as he dug a hole for our family tree. |
 |
| You're fantastic at riding your bike Madelyn, you have a bike with training wheels and your fancy stride bike; you tend to lean towards riding this...I wonder if it's because it's all pink...judging by this picture I think it's clear to see pink is a color that you like...riding around the court you're known as, "The Pink Blur." |
 |
| I had a bow on too. Madelyn insisted we all put on a bow after nap, how could I say no? |
 |
| Adventures with the kidlits; there are so many fun places to explore with these kiddos and we see a lot parks. We have our favorites and this is one close to home where we can walk and duck watch. |
 |
| "Do I have something on my face?'" |
 |
| Mr. Colin tipping the scales, just kidding, you're our small fry Colin, but what you lack in size you make up for in strength, you are unbelievably strong. We have caught you crawling on a coffee table, you can get yourself off of our king size bed on your own, and you are already walking with your walkers, and with things that are not walkers, like boxes, laundry baskets, etc. It's pretty incredible to see how you get around, up the stairs faster than me sometimes! My favorite quote, "The days are long but the years are short." |

| Colin's first train ride at the zoo! |
 |
| 6/9/16 This pic sums it up Madelyn, SUGAR. You love your sweets; in the mothers day survey you took when asked, "what does your mom say to you all the time?" You answered, "do you want a cupcake or cookie?" This is NOT true, those are not things I say all the time, you wish! |
 |
| Working at the CAR WASH! We all can remember drinking from the hose as a kid, and washing our family car. I can say it's still just as fun if not more seeing my kids do it. |
 |
| Since moving to our home in Lake Orion we have probably walked around our block 300 times. Days off we usually do a walk every morning, and sometimes again later in the day! Always something new to see and with our commentator Madelyn there's never a dull moment. |

| June 15, 2016 A special visit to Great Grandma Bean which needed a special dress and lots of showing off from Madelyn, singing songs and playing with her princesses. |
 |
| June 18, 2016 our family, total happiness on Mama and Daddy's faces because we love you guys so much. |
 |
| Happy Fathers Day! Breakfast in bed from this girl, she spent time in the kitchen making this while Daddy got to sleep in a little then surprised him with quite a spread. Daddy is so loved in this house and had a special day with the kiddos hanging around the house enjoying a beautiful day watching the kiddos in their pool and a bbq with the grandparents. |
 |
| Best pic, I said, "look tough," Colin took that as, "look adorable," and Madelyn took it as, "be a silly goose." |
 |
| It is very special that we are able to enjoy fun summer bbqs with our parents and kiddos and was a fun fathers day celebrating with all these great Dad's. |
