Wow! Our Child is an Adult!!!


Evan's last show at Seton was highlighted in their school magazine,
the Seton Sentinel. See above!




Hey Little Miss Mommy, I thought you were supposed to be feeding your baby! Ha ha!


 

This puzzle was one the boys played with when they were little.
She loves the magnet bug net!




There is nothing like a cozy cuddle spot
with a great blanket gifted by a wonderful friend!




This was as close as Maddie wanted to get to the Easter Bunny this year!


Thankfully I brought her a stuffed bunny to hide her eyes from the scary rabbit!  LOL!


Drue and Evan weren't scared!


We went to lunch after and instantly, no tears!


That night we dyed eggs.


We were brave and left her dress on.
Miraculously it came away clean!


I tried fun spring nails, so I colored some eggs to match!


 

Before we knew it, it was Easter Sunday!


We played a little game of Deal or No Deal with the "kids" instead of an egg hunt...







I made them each a towel bunny and a basket of goodies...


Maddie woke up to the Easter Bunny having made a fun obstacle course for her! 


It even came with instructions to get to the candy!


Egg Hunt Time!

After finding Maddie's eggs, we ate some yummy food...


Then Freddy and I watched the kids in the spa...



And even the pool!
It was a blessed day!



Fun @ Sky Zone!










I am so used to Maddie with big hair, that when she is lathered up in the tub,
I feel like she looks like a different girlie!


See!?




On the 15th, it was time for PROM!


My handsome Kiddo and I!


Drue is a tough cookie!
She puts up with and can even pick up Evan!  Ha ha!


So cute! Matching flowers!


Always living on the edge that kid!





Dad and his 1st Born...


And off they go...last school dance!

Listen to Maddie!


My Big Boy! Freshman to Senior!
Where does the time go!?


And how appropriate that we found out while Evan was at Prom
that he was going to be a Sun Devil!



Tourney Highlights at the Plate & on the Mound!


The Stars Biggest Fan!


The Stars 14U Team went undefeated to win the Championship!




Only Daddy could stack them that high without a step stool!


Time to wash off the baseball dirt...
WAIT...with a potty lid on your head!? LOL!




Shortly before this bath, we got some color changing tabs for the tub.
On this day, the way Maddie put them in, I thought looked so neat!




On the 19th, we became a family of 3 adults and 2 children!


Here is Evan opening his time capsule!


I knew for his 18th birthday I wanted to create a short slideshow,
but I couldn't find the right song to put the videos and pictures to.
So, I had a song created for him! Enjoy the slideshow link above!




Of course Evan selected his FAVORITE restaurant for dinner out.
Hon Machi has been a staple eatery for him for many years!



Maddie was so funny!
She didn't like the smoke from the teppanyaki grill,
so she asked to wear Grandma's glasses!


Happy Birthday Edawggy!


Also not surprising,
Evan chose Bundtini's for dessert!


One of his cupcakes picks even had his signature sunglass look!




Maddie and her Bestie met at the park for some fun one day!

Somersault!


The teeter totter is much more fun with a friend!


Happy Girl!




Shaving cream art was introduced to us by our friend's daughter. Thank you Rayna!


The winner in the game of Life!




Evan's 18th Birthday present from us was a trip to the Odysea Aquarium...



We saw the sloths on the way...


To Penguin Point!


Evan's  favorite animal since he was a little guy has always been the penguin,
so the Penguin Encounter was the PERFECT experience for him!


Maddie's favorite exhibits were the seahorses...


And the "Nemo" Clownfish!


We found out she was the same size as the smallest sea turtle...


And then we came home and she painted Daddy's nails!


She even blew them dry for him!
What a fun day!







Our other friend brought her daughter over for a playdate!
It was cute to see Maddie with a little one!




Ryan is my helper in the kitchen!
One day he decided to cook for us!


He even broke out a headband to look the part!



It was delicious!
Great job Ryguy!




The following day we hosted my Mother In Law's Birthday Party!




My beautiful Sister In Law Sarah was a huge help!

Video Pan of the Setup!


After food and games, it was time to swim.
Maddie really enjoys time with her cousin, Abi!




Maddie wrapped up April by following in Bubba's footsteps!
