Maryn's first time eating peanut butter & toast...finger licking good!

loving the outside!

love this cheesy smile!!

On Easter Sunday we had our own little egg hunt in the living room before going to church. After church we headed north for lunch with my parents and brothers. Maryn loved looking for eggs outside and her uncles did a good job hiding them! We then made our way to Jeremy's parents house for dinner. His brother's family was out of town so it was just us, but we went back up the following weekend to enjoy Easter part 2 :)

Butler in the Final Four!!!!!!

What an adventure the Final Four was for our Butler Bulldogs!! So awesome that the Final Four was in Indy this year :) We made a few trips to campus to get t-shirts, went to a pep rally in the neighborhood, attended practice with 30,000 other fans, had a blast hanging out with friends, plus Jeremy and I were lucky enough to be able to go to the games. So proud to be a Bulldog! As Maryn says "Go Dawgs, Go BU!!!"

Maryn and I went to campus to get t-shirts and she loved the bulldog

So much fun that about 10 minutes after we took this picture Maryn fell

welcome to the family cupcake!

Move over Duke...there is a new pet in the house! Maryn has a new fish named Cupcake :) Our dear friend Kate has been eagerly waiting to surprise Maryn with a little pet and we decided that a goldfish would be the easiest take care of and replace if necessary. We ventured to Petsmart to pick out just the right one and Maryn was super excited! It's been few weeks now and Cupcake is still swimming happily in her bowl...hopefully that lifestyle continues :)

take dada zoo...NOW!

The first week of March, Maryn and I went with some friends to the zoo. It was still pretty cold so we pretty much had the zoo to ourselves. Well ever since that day, Maryn has cried to take Dada to the zoo. Every time we get in the car, "go zoo", "I go zoo Dada", "I take Dada zoo...NOW!" I thought she would forget about it, but no she was very persistent and determined. I feel like it was the first taste of what is yet to come as she grows up...she will forget nothing:) So finally on Saturday...we took Dada to the zoo!!! It was a beautiful day, all the animals were out, and Maryn loved having Dada with her to see the animals!

St. Patrick's Day parade

On St. Patrick's Day, Maryn and I met our friends, Julie and Ethan, downtown to go to the parade. It was a chilly day, but lots of blue sky and sun. We found a spot that we thought might get sunny, but of course our curbside seats stayed in the shade and it was so windy between the buildings throughout the parade. Poor Maryn and Ethan were freezing (as were their moms), but still managed to collect a bunch of candy! Hooray for a lunch of smarties, suckers and tootsie rolls!!! :)
