My daughter can fly!

 Haha.  My mom took these pictures of Addie Jane at her house a few weeks ago and I just had to put them on here.  I thought they were hysterical! Addie Jane is pretty much a flying monkey.

Soccer Pics

 My little soccer team!

 Terrible picture of me I was way gross after the game but at least Addie Jane looks excited about her trophy :)

Max, Addie Jane, and Brayden HOW CUTE!!!!!

17 months

17 months

My little nugget isn't so little anymore!!! 17 months! WOW goes by too too fast!

He does everything that Addie Jane does and I mean everything! Eats great, talks all the time (but never really makes any real words), signs, runs, jumps, laughs, cries (rarely)..... He is the best baby/toddler that I could ever ask for. I mean he is incredibly loving and huggy....wants to give kisses all the time and snuggle. He seems to always look like he is on some type or mission and knows exactly what he wants. He is my little angel. My little man.

Since I have M.I.A the last couple months

Since I have kinda been M.I.A. for the last month or so I decided to update and on what we have been doing with just a few pictures! We go the park a LOT and they love it. My newphew Jeremiah turned 1 can you believe it?!?! We have had warmer weather now so I will be getting my camera back out! Oh and they started school, yay! So far so good! I will update more about that very soon and get a good picture of them with their matching backpacks...it is so adorable. And Jack's seperation anxiety stage is basically over. And as usual Addie Jane is too big for her britches.

Addie Jane has no need for me at the park anymore

We had the perfect day for a birthday party!! PERFECT 65-70 degrees and not a cloud in the sky. We decided to have a BBQ over at our house so the kids could play out on the new swing set (thanks Mona and Papa)! Everyone had a blast but I couldn't have done it without help from EVERYONE thank you so much! And thank you God for this amazing day that you blessed us with it could not have gone any better :) Addie Jane had a blast and all the kids did great!!

What's new ??

This just a picture of Jack that I took my cell phone from far away.....so the quality is terrible and I really need to upload pictures soon just been kinda crazy busy!

Penguin shirt I made for Jack.



And an Owl shirt for AJ

And of course, a flower pillow for me!

I am going to copy my cousin Haley and do this in list form...I really like that ha!

1. I am "attempting" to learn how to sew.....AGAIN. So far so good. I am starting out with easy stuff like hand sewing felt pillows and things on clothes for the kids. Sunday went up to my mom's house and with my help of my aunt Amy I made Addie Jane a pair of pants! YAY! Very proud of myself.

2. Addie Jane is talking SO much (as in talking in full conversations for like 20 min or more and using contractions, using bigger words?? not sure if that sounds grammatically correct but ya know what I mean ha ha) and really really listening to everything we say. Very sassy and apparently my parents say she acts just like me when I was her age. She turns 3 in just a few days. A big milestone I feel like for her. She is excited and says she wants to have all her "friends" there and play all day, and that she "guesses" Jack could come but he can be pretty annoying. Ha. She is a trip.

3. What do say about Jack? He has changed like crazy. Have I mentioned he is like a monkey??? Climbs on anything and everything. I am so proud of my little man he is really beginning to talk so much more. He really is understand everything that I am saying and can point out pretty much everything in a normal living room/ kitchen, knows his body parts, and most animal noises. He is sounded out his words a lot more and really trying hard to talk...it's precious. Total Mama's boy I love it! He is so snuggly, loves to give kisses and hugs, and love other kids. He has gotten over his separation anxiety which is nice! He also runs now, jumps, and tries to do a forward roll. Usually sleeps 10-13 hours a night WAHOO! Growing up extremely fast. He went to the doctor last week and weights in at 29 pounds and is 32 inches long 85% for both weight and height! Growing just perfect!

4. I have been gathering things up for re-doing of my rooms, throwing old things away, and repainting anything I can get my hands on! I REALLY want this all to be done by my birthday. We will see though!

5. I am sick of cold weather. But I am loving getting up super early on my off days to watch "Real Housewives" and "Jersey Shore"...I know I know...but it is seriously a guilty pleasure. I am also obsessed with "Pawn Stars". Seriously, J and I love that show. Its perfect for us because its hysterical and J loves learning about the history of things. YAY we agree! ha ha! Not to mention our show "White Collar" is back on USA on Tuesday nights @ 9:00. WATCH IT. Also I have hand sewing with felt like crazy, its pretty fun and I can just lay in the bed and sew no machine necessary.

Addie Jane goes to Texas

A couple months ago my Dad, Mom, and Addie Jane went to Texas to celebrate my Grandpa's last chemo treatment. We are so thankful for him, and SO proud of everything he and my grandma had been through the last summer. This blog is long past due. Addie Jane had a great time and loved the plane. I can't wait to go and take Jack. Thank you God for my family. I am blessed to still have my grandparents in my life.

Friends and Family celebrating!
Addie Jane, my aunt Joan, and Judy
Grandpa and my Dad
My parent, grandparents, and aunts! Wish I could have made it!
Addie Jane and my dad!

PS- Addie Jane WILL NOT smile for pictuers but trust me she had a blast!
