I Did It!!!!!

Jenny, this is for you! I actually accomplished making baby food today!! Jenny has inspired me to make my baby food ever since Olivia was born, and I finally decided to try. I made sweet potatoes, Jenny said they were easy, and boy were they!!! Maybe I can get Jenny to make some more with me in March! We even tried it out on Ella and she loved them!!

I'm A Big Girl Now

Just some fun pictures of Ella! She is finally eating better. Sleeping, she is still in cahouts with her cousin Sydney on that one! But she sure can make us laugh! She is rolling all over the place, trying to scoop, pivots and really wants to be crawling...I am sure it won't be long before she is mobile!! Watch out Addison and Olivia, she is gonna come after you!!! She loves to hold her own bottle now too What a big girl she is!!

Happy Valentine's Day

Have I ever told anyone lately how AWESOME my husband is?! Well, he is the greatest, and I don't give him nearly enough credit for how awesome he really is! He surprised me this year with a wonderful weekend. He had both my mom and his mom in on the surprise and they were both able to help him to make it work. He told me to be ready at 2pm Saturday. I had no idea what I was doing. He was going to take Addison and Olivia to his mom's that morning and they would spend the night. My mom came in Saturday morning. He made the girls and I heart shaped waffles for breakfast. We gave the girls the little valentine's we had for them, Addison of course got a Taylor Swift CD, and Liv, well she is a puzzle fanatic, so we got her a big floor puzzle. We got the girls ready, Tony left with Ella in tow also. I was told to take my mom with me at 2pm...we went and had a spa manicure and went to lunch! It was wonderful. When we got home, Tony took me to a movie, out to dinner and then got us a room at the Hampton Inn for the night. Peace and Quiet!!! It was heavenly!!!! And we both slept awesome! Thanks Tony, I love you so much!! I am sure Jenny and Kristin are laughing and thinking that I got pretty lucky to marry such a romantic, because they always used to tell me that I had no romantic bones in my body!!

Snow Time

We are starting to get restless being couped up inside on the weekends and my days off! The girls want to be outside ALL the time, even when it is 16 degrees. Last week, we got quite a bit of snow on Friday, about 6 inches in 4 hours. So when we got home from work, Tony took the girls outside to play while he scooped the driveway. Ella and I stayed inside to stay warm. It took quite a while to get them ready to play outside. Thankfully no one had to go potty once they were dressed!

Olivia Wants to Cheer Also...

Olivia is feeling quite jealous of Addison getting to "cheerlead"...so we had an impromptu cheerleading session for Liv!! She was hilarious!

Check out the video....

Well apparently Blogger has decided that my video is corrupt...what is wrong with a 2 year old cherring and dancing?! C"mon on Blogger!

Flower Girl

Addison has been asked to be a flower girl in Eric and Angie's wedding in June. Eric is one of Tony's cousins. Addison is so excited to be in another wedding. She did such a great job at Cassie's! This time she will get to walk with Londyn...the aisle is pretty long in an older Catholic Church. Hopefully she will make it all the way down the aisle. Londyn will be walking with her, so I am sure they will have no problem thrwoing rose petals. Here are a pciture of 2 dresses that she has tried on. Angie's colors are Royal Blue and Ivory...Addison will wear an ivory dress...Oh and by the way, she has this bad habit of not looking at me while I am trying take a picture...

Cheer Camp

The Lutheran high school that is affliated with Addison's preschool had a Cheer Camp about 3 weeks ago and Addison got to participate. Hard to believe my girl is already big enough to start participating in these kinds of things. She was so excited about cheer camp and talked about with everyone she saw the week leading up to practice. We even got a note home in her notebook from school about how excited she was for it! They had "practice" for 2 hours on a Saturday afternoon, and then the game was on the following Tuesday. I show up on Saturday with my camera, video camera and one very prud mommy, only to find that there are NO parents there. I do not want to humilate Addison, so I only stay for a little while, take a few pictures and leave.

Tuesday night, she was VERY excited for the game and did a great job. During the game, she noticed that Olivia was eating popcorn and thought she needed some also. After one of the cheers, she is trying to get my attention to tell me she wants popcorn, and the older girl is trying to pull her off the basketball court...it was quite comical!

Olivia had a good time hanging out with Mamo and Bampo, and going potty a dozen times!! Sometimes I don't think there can be any more pee left in her, but she always goes!! Liv didn't really like the noise or the buzzer all that much! Ella was just as happy as a clam!

Apparently I am not pleasing my sister with the number of posts! I do have some pictures to share with you of Addison at cheerleading camp! I know, I asked myself the same questions; is she really old enough to be doing that, and did Tony really let her go?!!

Got some great outdoor pictures, since it has been so nice lately, we have taken great advantage of the beautiful weather! I will TRY to work on posting some pictures tomorrow.
