Aunt Mary & The Snowballs!

Aunt Mary came over to see Zach today and decided to take him outside to play in the first snowfall of the season! She taught him how to make snowballs and then throw them. He thought that was the best thing ever! I think he's really going to LOVE the snow this year!

A Visit with Santa!

Today was the day that I decided to take Zach and Addie to see Santa. I was so nervous about how Zach would do, that I had a friend of mine meet me there just in case he wouldn't participate. I wanted to make sure I at least got Addison's photo with him and I knew she would do just fine. He was a little hesitant at first but then walked right up to him and stuck his hand out for a hand shake and the proceeded to hop on his lap. I was in shock! He sat there for quite some time as the photographer took several photos to try to get them both to smile. Here is what she captured...

Merry Christmas from our family to yours!

Thanksgiving Away!

I decided to take the kids to Tennessee to see my grandparent's for Thanksgiving this year! Zach has not been home to see my family since he was 3 months old and of course Addie has never been. It was so special for me to take them down there so my family could see my kids :) We had a super fun time!

Here is Zach with his cousin Emma enjoying a carpet picnic!

Four Generations!

Zach loved that Mauzy and Pauzy had an "Americhant Flag" in their backyard!

Happy 1st Thanksgiving to my sweet baby girl!

Addie getting her first sink tub! I have this same picture of me when I was a baby in this same sink and Addie looks like my little twin! I will have to post those pics side by side so you can see :)

My brother came to see his new niece!

And my closest cousin from TN is having twins around Christmas time!

Zach and Mauzy on the "tractor"!

I'm Back!

I know it has been forever since my last blog! It is so hard keeping up with this while chasing two little ones around! We have been super busy these last few months. We had a wonderful time celebrating Halloween...Zach was so into it. It got to the point where he would not let us walk him to the doors to say trick or treat. Mr. Independent wanted to do it all on his own! He is still enjoying preschool very much and has made many new friends. Addison is growing up way too fast. Last month, we celebrated her 6 month birthday. It's hard to believe she is now 7 months old! She is sitting up all by herself and trying to talk! Here are some cute photos my photographer took of her 6 month milestone!

We spent a lot of time in October at the farm! Zach absolutely loves feeding the animals and riding the hay ride!

Here is Zach dressed up as a "farmer" for school! He looks so grown up here!
*sigh*

Our little princess was a sweet little lady bug for Halloween!

And of course we celebrated with Captain "Noony" from the Backyardigans!
I know...he will kill me one day for the mis-matched sneakers!

Addison turned 6 months! Ellie wanted in on the celebrating as well!

She was facinated with the bows from her gifts!

My Little Pirates!

Now that October is here...we are trying to figure out Halloween costumes! I have already returned 2 for Zach because he won't wear them! I finally think I have one that he LOVES! His new obsession is pirates, so here he is with his new pirate hat...just like Captain Moody, from the Backyardigans of course!

And of course...my little miss pirate...Addie Jean!

Making Memories!

Sorry it has been so long since I have made a post! We have been very busy this month "Making Memories." September was a fun month as we went on our family beach vacation. For Addison, it was her first! The kids had such a great time, especially Zach! Now that he is older, he really gets it and enjoys telling us what he wants to do :)

Addison proving that she can sleep anywhere! Here we are outside playing mini golf and the background noise was loud motorcycles as it was Bike Weekend!

Zach's first adventure at mini golf...which he loved!

My Little Princess in her new hat!

Addie's first experience with the ocean!

Addison rolled over for the first time on this trip! It was such an awesome moment!

Silly Zach!

Beach Baby!

Her toes in the sand!

Zach loved "hiding" his feet in the sand with daddy and grandad!

Special Moments

We had such a wonderful weekend making special memories. Addison had her baby dedication and Zach started preschool!

My sweet angel!

Big Brother Love!

Zach loves when he gets to hold Addison. Here are a couple of cute pics of him giving his little sister some love!

Kisses!

A Little Ray of Sunshine!

I can't believe my sweet baby girl is 2 months old! The time is going by so quickly and I just want it to slow down!
