Festival Time 2012

It's time for festivals and fairs!  We went to the annual heritage festival last weekend.  Addison loved the rides and the petting zoo and Alyssa was content in the stroller just watching everything from a distance.  It was perfect weather to be out for the day.

Anybody want to come over and play at our house?  This is a little taste of what it's like lately!

Spray Park 2012

HELLO, SPRING!  The girls had a blast at the first spray park outing of the year.  Fun, sun, and water!

Crib Progress

Last Sunday, I started the transition of putting Alyssa in the crib at bedtime.  She's been napping in the crib for a few weeks now, so it was time to start bedtime too.  I still nurse and rock her for the one nap she takes daily and do the same at bedtime.  She usually sleeps in the crib for a few hours and when she wakes up I bring her to bed with me.  I'm sure this goes against all the parenting books, but it works for us (right now).

Dora Bike

We had a little mini early birthday party for Addison this weekend.  Grams & Pappy got Addison a bike & since we are moving soon they decided she needed it early!  We have a super long driveway that is perfect for bike riding & Addison has already peddled a couple of miles on it :)

Addison got to blow out a candle on her cupcake in Texas AND she 'helped' Pappy & Grams blow out their candle in Australia, too!

The look on her face was priceless when B wheeled the bike in the living room.  Best of all, the webcam was setup so Grams & Pappy could watch it all happen.

A stinking tornado watch isn't going to stop this little girl from riding her new bike!

First Sleepover

I'm not sure how I missed blogging about Addison and Maggie's FIRST sleepover!  A couple of weeks ago we invited Maggie to stay the night with Addison.  Everyone thought that we'd be walking Maggie home at bedtime, but she surprised us all!

Bath Time

My little girls love taking a bath.  When I need 30 minutes of rest I can always count on a bath to rejuvenate us all!  After washing hair I noticed what a difference in length Addison's hair is between dry and wet.  I wonder how long she's going to keep those curls!  They are a pain to keep under control, but sure are cute!
