SAY CHEESE!

August 2011

I love my Sunday naps with my baby. Life does not get much better than this.

Me and my girls!

My beautiful baby girl, three months old!

J.J. got to pick out a new bike after earning a jar full of warm fuzzy's for going to bed like a big boy! ( he has been not wanting to lately so we had to do this to get into a better habit!) He loves his bike and wants to ride it all the time.

He loves his sister!

Sisters!

These two could bathe all day everyday.

Working Out

August 2011

These two love to play on the treadmill and act like they are working out! J.J. always says "Mommy, I need a little treadmill for me." Ha, what a silly boy.

Potty Training

August 2011

Bailey kept climbing up onto the toilet as you can see in the picture, so I decided I would try to potty train her. She caught on great and did really well. She had a hard time learning to go number two on the toilet, but we finally got that down too! I got sick of waking up in the middle of the night to take her to the bathroom, because I was already getting up with Addi every few hours, so we have gone to pull ups at night. ( I never did the whole pull up thing with J.J. He only had a few accidents, then learned how to hold it through the night.) When Addi starts sleeping better, maybe then we will try and get the night thing down!

Bailey at 22 months.



Proud of her princess panties.


Brother wanted in on the action.

5K

July 30th, 2011

Heather and I ran a 5k run. It was great to be able to have a goal to try and get back into shape after having a baby! It was a lot of fun to run this with Heather, and hopefully can run another sooner than later!

Twenty Fourth of July

We look forward to the fourth of July every year. This year we took the kids to the carnival and the absolutely loved it! (Unlike last year, J.J. just cried!) They were begging to ride more and more. I love that they have cousins their age to enjoy all the festivities with. We also walked to the booths, and up main street to the shops. We had a ton of fun and got some fun stuff.


Notice all of the kids have their arms in the air. They think they are so big and brave!




We also went to the parade. The kids were quite bummed out that nobody was throwing candy this year. Thank goodness Mimi and papa had heard that they would not be throwing out candy and brought some of their own to throw to the kids. It was so fun to see the kids really enjoy the parade and get excited.











That afternoon we let the kids play in the pool and had a barbecue. Then ended the night going to the rodeo. To bad the weather was not the greatest. We spent about fourty five minutes sitting inside waiting for the rain to pass because the little baby could not be in the cold. Thank goodness for Brandon and Heidi for coming and saving Addi so that I could enjoy the rest of the rodeo. We had a great day.

SUMMER FUN!

We have spent a ton of time in my parents backyard this summer. We have ran through the sprinkler, played in the awesome pirate ship pool aunt Heather got, played in the play house, rode bikes, picked lots of raspberries and strawberries, played in the dirt and helped papa mow the lawn! The kids LOVE being able to just run around. I can not wait till I have a big yard likes theirs one day.

Papa's girl. This girl absolutely loves and adores her papa. Every time we go to my parents house he is pretty much the first one she has to run and see, and I know he loves her too!!

CHEESE!

Shooting the pirate gun!

The kids being Super Heros!!

Randomness

July

My parents went to Disney World this summer and brought J.J. back this pirate outfit. Until now he has been afraid of it! Today, Bailey along with J.J. wanted to wear it! Of course though, she still has to have her baby in hand!


I can't believe this little girl is two months old! The time has flown by. She is starting to smile a lot. It just melts my heart every time I see her precious smile. She is extremely happy every morning when she wakes up. She is just full of smiles. I love it.


Bailey and J.J. absolutely love and adore Addi. Sometimes almost too much!! They love to kiss her and often ask to hold her.

Bailey loves to hold Addi, but Addi is not to sure about Bailey holding her.

J.J. also loves to hold his little sister. He has been such a good big brother. He is sooo sweet to her, and is constantly hugging and kissing her. He is always telling me how cute and precious she is. It completely melts my heart to see the sweet side of J.J. I know he is going to take such good care of his little sisters when they get older.


It makes me so sad to see how fast Addi is growing up. With each child it seems to go faster and faster as life just gets busier and busier. She looks so grown up in this picture to me. She is two months old here.

I told the kids to make funny faces and this is what I got! Aren't they just too cute! I can not get enough of them.
