Lotionizing the Dogs

Isabell's face with some lotion.

Addison is obsessed with lotion (also known as 'juice') and she decided to share some with the dogs. Of course this was all supervised...if you want to call it that anyways...I was laughing until....

...Alley started eating it! Alley LOVES to eat lotion or lick off of you! This was the end point of the playing with lotion.
Buddy was hiding under the bed as usual!

Flowers

Playing around with the effects...

Balloon Fun

Isabell is not sure about this thing!

Fun...

...with some static.

Bath Time Fun

Buckle

Addison was quite entertained by playing with her straps and buckle on her stroller. She has her head buried in it messing with it. I just thought it was funny so I had to grab a pic.

A Flower

I let Addison check out a flower from my bouquet. She enjoyed feeling it and then ripping it apart! No worries I ended up giving her one that was broken anyway.

She is smelling it and yes, she knows how to smell, but I believe she makes more of a sound with her nose than actually getting a whiff of something. Too cute!

Look at that face!!!!!!

And then the aftermath of the flower.....poor flower it had no chance.

Happy Valentine's Day

My loving thoughtful husband came home the Friday before Valentine's and surprised me holding the above singing along with the balloon...'You're Still the One' (how appropriate of a song :) ), which hormonal me started to tear up! He knew I had been wanting this book and he hand picked out some of my favorite flowers for a HUGE bouquet all for me plus the huge balloon that I already mentioned! SOOO SWEET! Those flowers were heavy! It really is the thought that he puts into things....plus he brought it home that Friday and caught me off guard when Valentine's was that Sunday. Thank you for making me feel so special!!!

Paul brought Addison home two big balloons also, plus I got her some new heart shaped earrings. So loved!

On Valentine's day I make heart shaped pancakes. This was Addison first year to have them! I have to add a funny note, we bought some heart healthy mix and we all decided that some things you just can't make healthy! LOL! We still ate them, but you could tell they were just too different for us.

Also on Valentine's day I always make a heart shaped cookie....usually Paul's favorite with peanut butter cups. So yummy! Looking at this picture makes me want to make more!

Addison giving her Daddy his card from her. She scribbled, I mean wrote, all over it especially for him! He loved it!

Playing at the Mall

Our mall in Springfield has a nice play area for young kids and Addison LOVES LOVES LOVES going there! I wish this mall was just closer so we could go more often. We have learned to take her last because she tires out and falls asleep afterwards. She seriously runs circles around the play area! She cracks me up!

This was just funny! Caught a funny face.

LOVES the slide! I see a swing set with a nice slide on it in our future.
One side note: yes, her eyes look different colors here because my red eye detector colored them that way and I can't fix it, but her eyes really don't look like this! ;)

Happy 31st Birthday to my Wonderful Hubby!!!

This was taken at Paul's favorite restaurant, Buffalo Wild Wings, where he just recieved his birthday monkey from the ballonist. I have to say we were all three amazed at this ballonist! We want one at Addison's birthday party at some point in time! She could make anything! We saw her make Tinkerbell, a snake, a dog....really cool! The restaurant hires the company to come and do this and then you give them tips of course. Paul gave her a nice tip for making Addison a butterfly...and his monkey! It was fun just watching her make them.

However, I cannot believe my husband turned 31! Good thing his wife is still young and in her 20's....hahaha babe! ;) I think he had a great weekend. We went off to Springfield and spent the day shopping. It was nice just being together and he did not want a birthday party so it worked out great. HAPPY 31st BIRTHDAY BABE!!! Love you!

As I have stated numerous amounts of times our child LOVES balloons so the whole time she was watching her make others she was saying 'ball, ball, ball....!' She was too into her butterfly to enjoy her meal I believe.

Climbing on Mommy & Daddy's Bed

Climbing on Mommy and Daddy's bed is so much fun!

Snack time

Lex has a favorite show she watches, so believe it or not, but Addison actually sat for a few minutes and watched it with her!

Focus

Addison has gotten so good at her puzzles! I think we need some new ones. You can tell she is so into whatever it is that she is doing.

Taking her sock off and trying to put it back on again.

I love to wear Mommy's slippers!

Cereal

Dipping bananas in cereal is sooo yummy!

She has gotten so much better at eating her cereal herself. Cereal has turned into one of her favs. I have to add she only keeps the cereal for so long in the bowl then when she is done whatever else she will pour out if I don't catch her! This is a longtime battle.

Growing Girls

They have about outgrown sitting in this chair together.

Puzzle time! They like to take things away from each other then give them back.

Mirror Fun

Mirror

Hey, Mom this baby in the mirror moves when I move, pretty cool!

Who knew the mirror could be so much fun?!

When I move my face she moves her face.

Mom got me!
