Balloon!

Paul came home the other day bringing me strawberries (my obsession here lately!) and a balloon for Addison! She LOVES LOVES LOVES balloons. Whenever she sees them she starting yelling 'ball', 'ball'....yes, she calls them 'balls' also. Paul made us two happy girls that day! We love him so! Such a good Daddy and hubby! Sometimes it is the small things that make us feel so special. :)

I have to say her next birthday party WILL have to include lots of balloons (balls)! We could just buy those for her and she would be happy I believe.

Sweet Pigtails

I just LOVE fixing her hair! Who knew girls could be so much fun?!?! While I try to fix her hair I have her look at her word cards. It helps a little, but she still moves everywhere.

Grape Guts

Addison is certainly in tune to different food textures....fruit especially! She likes grapes and oranges, but does not like the texture so she spits them out. This morning in particular she was loving her some 'balls'...ANYTHING and EVERYTHING round is a 'ball'...anyway, she was eating the middle, squirting at all the juice and then spitting out the skins. It was so funny I kept giving them to her. She was being pretty demanding about them too!

I have to add, she did officially eat some whole grapes the other day after this pic was taken! We will see if that continues.

Playing Around with the Camera

We were messing around taking some belly shots. I am almost 24 wks when this was taken.

Lovin' on my girl!

I cannot tell you how much I love her. She has stole my heart!

LOVES books and 'reads' them!

Lotion

What does she want??????

Lotion! It is her new obsession! She calls it juice!!!

Cool Chick

We all had so much fun in the snow!

Snow Fun

Just checking things out....

Isabell is ready for that snowball!

Addison Walking in the Snow

In this video you will see Addison has figured out that walking down the road in snow is much easier than walking in the yard with snow. So at the end you see the beginning of a temper tantrum when she does not get what she wants. Can you say early terrible two's?!?! She is VERY independent.

Throwing Snowballs with the Dogs

The dogs love to play fetch. Isabell thinks she does, but she just really like to chase them and not bring them back, as to were Alley loves to actually retrieve. Paul had some fun with them in the snow throwing around some snowballs. Addison of course got amusement out of this as well! Here is a cute video....

Our 2010 Snowman

Addison LOVES balls so she notices everything that is round shaped and thinks it is a ball and calls it a ball as well. Here she is pointing at the tomato eyes saying 'ball' wanting them to play with. I give her these to eat and she half eats them and half plays with them.

As you can see very hard to get a good pic with a toddler!

Paul gave it some hair! Too cute!

The final product. I decided to change its scarf and add the snow shovel at the last minute. We had so much fun playing in the snow. Who knows when we will get to see the white stuff again!

More Snow Pics III

Sitting still in her wagon watching Paul. I took her for a few rides down the rode and let me tell you oh, preggers here, who is ALMOST in her third trimester, was TIRED after 2.5 hours+ of playing in the snow and then pulling her around in the snow! I should have taken a nap when she did!

I HAD to make a snow angel. I cannot remember the last time I have made one. Then the dogs had to run through it!

Hmmmm, wonder this is going to be?!?!

Paul Shoveling the Driveway and Having Some Fun

Much easier to walk where Daddy has shoveled! YAY!

She was quite amazed at what he was doing.

This I caught in action as Paul was throwing snow onto Isabell. Pretty cool pic! Paul has to always have some fun into the mix...speaking of having fun check out the video below. I do believe the first shovel of snow was an accident, but it is very clear the next one is NOT! After all the years, he STILL loves to aggravate me when he can. Oh, one more thing, don't think I missed on some surprise snowballs of my own! ;) Yeah, I know we are big kids, but you gotta have some fun and enjoy this life! I sure hope our children do.

Alley play attacking Buddy.

Gotta fix my shades.

Alley is eating the snow, yes, eating!

Buddy tried to stay mostly in the areas where Paul had shoveled already. He is not a big fan of the cold.

Alley just LOVES the snow. 1/30
