First Sleepover

These two little sweeties had their first "sleepover" together last night.  I made them pallets in Audrey's room.  They were beyond thrilled. Audrey lasted about 10 minutes before she was snoring.  Addison wanted to have a little more fun at the sleepover so she just played by herself for another hour before calling it a night.

I'm sure this was just the first of many fun, giggly, sleepovers that these two will share.

Good grief! I feel like I have been running crazy these last few weeks. I'm not sure why I have such a hard time finding a few minutes to blog lately, but I go non-stop and then before I know it, it is after midnight and I'm exhausted. Between chasing the girls and keeping them entertained and out of trouble, keeping up with cleaning, laundry, and cooking, dance class, preschool, my "paying" job responsibilities and then throw in a few fun trips to the park or museum..."free" time is just hard to come by. So here are a few photos from our life the past few days (most are poor quality because they are from my cell phone, but at least they capture the moment!)

Us girls had a manicure/pedicure day and they enjoyed getting their nails done by mommy.

Addison took the instructions to "sit very still" very seriously. She didn't even want to move for the picture.

This little dudette loves her "glagas" (aka- glasses). She looks adorable even if they are upside down.

Corey bought a huge pile of duck and goose decoys...the girls think they gained new pets. Haha!

For some reason on this particular day, these plastic plates brought a couple of hours of quiet entertainment for those two. Such imaginations!

We love our Children's Hands-On Museum. Audrey's favorite part is dressing up in the old clothes. I think she looks adorable here, but way too grown up!

A day at the park...

Dressed up for Farm Day at preschool.

How is it that this sweet girl has grown up so quickly??

The weather has been glorious! So we have taken advantage of it by enjoying many picnics.

Addison LOVES to have her back tickled. Every night she will climb up in our lap, raise her shirt and say "Tickle, back, pwease". You can't refuse that!

This girl loves some Fun Dip!

This is a typical night at our house. Both girls snuggled up with their daddy. They love when he's home so they can get lots of playtime and snuggling with him.

Our Life in Photos

I had many photos that didn't really require a blog post all by themselves, so I thought I'd post them all here together.

A few weeks ago, my girls and I were invited to attend a "going-away" lunch for my mom. She had been employed at this job for 30-something years and due to budget cuts, she was cut. Nice, huh?? Anyway...this group of co-workers (show in this photo) have been together since I was around Audrey's age. They are like family to us. It was so wonderful to get to have lunch with them and reminisce and hear all of their hilarious adventures they have had together.



Here, Audrey and Addison are "riding" with their Uncle Keith. Before those of you that know him have a heart attack or report me for neglect, this was posed for a picture in my mom's driveway...NO! They weren't out on the roads traveling like this!! I am MUCH smarter that that! LOL


Addison- my Miss Hollywood! It doesn't get much cuter than this!!



Yep, Addison is soaking wet, dirty and standing in the dog's water bowl with one shoe on. She was having so much fun!


Addison was acting silly with Granddaddy's hat.

I promise Audrey is around too. She just isn't a fan of photos anymore :(
