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!

Bed Head

Happy Girls

Lex just turned 18 months and Addison is 17 months in this pic.

Superbowl Sunday

Come on Mom and Dad let's go! I'm ready!

We went to our neighbors the Rase's for Superbowl Sunday. Lex is watching my little monkey run loops around the room and now she has decided to check out the toy box.

LOVE this pic! I took it REAL quick because my child does not sit still for long!

What one does the other does.

Where's Buddy?

He did this himself!!!

Daddy Blowing in My Face

I Know Where This Goes

It just goes to show you that they do watch us when we don't even know it! Some how she knew the key went into the door knob.

Mommy Getting that Belly

SWEET LAUGHTER! Have I mentioned lately how much I just LOVE her?!

More Snow

You may be looking at this like what is this a pic of?! Well, today Addison was having a bad morning so I layed her down to see if you may need an early nap. To my surprise upon entering her room she had undressed herself partly and peed in her bed, which I had just changed the sheets and blankets plus she loves to throw things our of her crib for some reason so that is what you see in the floor. Luckily, she did not poop! I just had to laugh at this and take the opportunity to take a photo to share with you our day to day fun.

More snow! Look at those beautiful HUGE flakes! It snowed ALL day that day. We had about 4 inches from that snow I do believe.

This was taken just shortly after the one above.

Friday Chores

She loves putting on clothes....sometimes even our clothes!

MORE SNOW! It just keeps snowing around here. The previous snow barely melts before we get another one! So as most of you know I stay at least a week behind on my blog, for the most part, so since this snow pic we have gotten a couple more! It is nice to actually see snow because we never know when we will get to see more with how we move around. I told Paul the other day that I feel like we live in Alaska because it has stayed white outside all winter and we are enjoying it....but, I do LOVE springtime and am looking forward to going on our walks again and seeing the sweet sunshine.

I call Fridays my chore days because that is when I 'try' to clean everything and get the whole house the way I want it before the weekend so we can spend it with Paul, although as all of you mom's know the chores never stop nor do we, but I try to feel like I am ahead of the game. However, Addison loves to do what I do so I let her help by wiping down the cabinets.....

....and cleaning the grout. I thought these were cute pics. And yes, I am a firm believer that the best way to clean a floor is on your hands and knees! I cannot stand a dirty floor for some reason. If my floor is dirty I feel like my whole house is dirty. I do believe it is starting a good habit with Addison because when she sees 'dirt' on the floor she brings it to me so we can throw it in the trash.
