Another 1st for Addison!

Today was Addison's 1st day at Gymboree!
She had such a great time too! I started Zach in Gym class when he was 8 weeks old, but with Addison, it was just a little more difficult to get there that young. Especially with a 2 year old running around at the time! Now that Zach is in school and Addison has cut out her morning nap, Gymboree will work for us!
Here is my little princess on her 1st big day!

Cars 2

Last weekend, Zach experienced his 1st movie inside a movie theater! Chris took him with 2 of his friends and their dads! He LOVED it! He cried when the movie was over and he had to leave. Cars is his new favorite movie and popcorn is his all time favorite snack, so he was super excited about this whole experience!

Here he is getting ready for the show!
#1 for Granddad!

Hats!

Aunt Rachie had these awesome hats made for Zach and Addison for their birthdays to use this winter! They came all the way from Germany!
I love them!

Thanks Aunt Rachie!

dutch wonderland...

We just spent a fabulous weekend in Lancaster, PA! We had so much fun taking the kids to the touch museum and to Dutch Wonderland! Zach's favorite part was the pirate ship playground located at our hotel!

Zach can make friends anywhere! Here he is on "his" ship with one of his new friends, Katelin!

Addie enjoyed rocking with her daddy on the porch!

Granna and Grandad treated us to a day at Dutch Wonderland!

Grandad and Zach...number 1

Zach's favorite ride...the airplane, of course! He rode it a billion times!

Addie is going to have a sweet tooth!

We had a wonderful time and can't wait to go back!

splish splash...

I took Addison swimming today for the first time, and she loved it! She was like a little fish.
So cute!

precious moments...

Today was one of those days that I will cherish forever...my little boy "graduated" from his first year of preschool. It was such a wonderful day and truly a moment that warmed my heart!

I was a little nervous with how Zach would do because he is not typically the child that likes to be the center of attention, especially around people he doesn't know! So putting him in a room full of people he didn't know...I knew could possibly not go well.

When the kids got up to perform, he was definitely "that kid" that got everyone's attention and made them laugh!

Here he is with his arms crossed and a scowl on his face...wanting no part of being up there!

It gets better...here he has really decided not to participate! At one point, he turned his body completely around.

So sad...because for weeks all I have heard is him belting out all of his songs!
Before the ceremony began, he was a very happy camper hanging out with all of his school friends! Addie even enjoyed hanging out with the boys!



Once he got back to his classroom, he was happy again!

Zach and his best buddy, Bennet!
Terri and I are two proud mommas!
So happy to have met this wonderful family and have certainly developed a friendship that I cherish!

This is such a sweet picture and I am so glad my mom was able to capture it! Totally unexpected of my little man! He is so sweet!


Our family came out to support Z's big day!

Look at that sweet face! It just doesn't get any cuter!

a little piece of love...

Some of the sweetest moments for me is time spent with my children and my niece and nephew! Zach and Addison absolutely love playing with their cousins Kate and Connor. Here are a few cute photos of my recent visit with them!
