We Interrupt Your Regularly Scheduled Programming

Sorry for the delay, all. Our little niecey-pooh, Sage Madison was born on Wednesday, April 6th & we traveled to Montana to spend the first few weeks of her life with her, so the 30-Day Challenge was put on hold for some of these super fun & super cute events:

"Little Miss" as Auntie calls her.

She was born at 10:14 a.m. on Wednesday, April 6th, 2011 to my sweet little sister, Alicia & brother-in-law, Luke.

New Mama & Baby.

Alicia went in on the morning of the 6th due to complications from preeclampsia, which resulted in an emergency c-section. All is well though with both mama & their gorgeous new baby.

Proud Auntie

We traveled to Bozeman to visit our BFFEs: Angela & Amara
(I don't think Cashe has gotten along with a child any better than Miss Amara -

they were inseparable & laughing non-stop!)

Playing together at Barnes & Noble

Made a little time for some reading at Barnes & Noble

Little cuties

So happy!

Awe.

The next morning we found these two little monkeys jumping on Amara's bed.

Nana & Baby Sage

Cashe-man & Auntie Ali

Ali hand-sewed the CUTEST book for Cashe & I didn't get any photos.
(What is wrong with me?!)

Ali is quite talented.

Matt brought Mom a 3lb lobster & cooked it for her - she actually shared too!

Matt also made us steak & salmon that night. Soooo goood. Yum.

Ali tried so hard to get Cashe to say "Matt" or "Ali" the whole time they visited.

No luck.

We'll keep trying, guys.

Whoa! Scary!

The "Rice Kids": Matt, Alicia & Nicole

Matt & Ali

She's a natural! ... & still glowing.

Uh oh ... found "bebe's" binky.

Lovin' on Uncle Matt

Auntie Leasha's hat fits quite well. Someone has his Daddy's giant head.

So helpful.

Cashe-man LOOOVES to swing!

Me & my sweet sister-in-law, Shauna.

She made a fabulous homemade Easter dinner for us all.

Cashe's first Easter Egg Hunt!

He did great! He acted a little hesitant about picking them up at first, as if we were making him clean his room. He caught on though & scored a bunch of candy for his parents & his Auntie.

Our little family.

Praise God for our gorgeous day!

Is this not the most hysterical photo you've ever seen!?!?!?
This is cousin Colty on his Dad's shoulders.

His Mom, Shauna caught this fabulous photo.

Little Miss got new bunny slippers for Easter.

Cashe was hooked to cousin Kaylee.

He'd have a stare-off every time he saw her & then glued himself to her hip for the remainder of the day.

She loved it!

Cousins Kody & Jadon playing games on Uncle Luke's iPad.

Luke has the COOLEST toys.

The kids asked if they could "vacation" to Alicia & Luke's house for Spring Break this year.

... And here's another reason why! Wii on the BIG screen.

Cashe's new dinosaur from his buddy, Torin.

Torin is my friend Amanda's son (who is just as generous as his Mama).

He gave Cashe TONS of new toys & he was in HEAVEN!

Sistas with our kiddos!

My favorite Easter pic of all -

Cashe trying to pull down my shirt with a cranky look on his face while Dad manages to show us a nice smile.

Isn't Shauna's face priceless?!
Cashe was dumping my ice water all down the front of him while I took this picture.
Oops.

Cousin Dyl is a RIOT!

Ah, there we go!

Hope you all had a fabulous Easter celebrating our Lord & Savior.
