No real stories behind these, I just like them....Hope you like them too!

Running away


I just love this picture of Addison. She is running away from the camera but I love how the shadow is a perfect reflection of her.

He's climbing the stairs already!


Grayson loves to do whatever his big sister is doing. She ran up the stairs and I caught him going after her.

The Grasshopper


This little guy camped out on our back door for 2 days at least. Addison loved him but wouldn't come any closer than this.

LIttle Mama


Since Grayson's birth Addison has had a keen interest in me "feeding" him. She has since become quite the little mama. She cares for her babies so well, and sometimes even feeds them.


Muscle Man!


Check out those back muscles!

Thanks Tuppy!

Open what?
Here it is Mama!

Putting it on the tree


Grayson checking his out



Every year we look forward to getting our little packages from Tuppy. This year was no exception and we quickly tore open the boxes and revealed this years ornaments. Grayson had his first experience with opening a box. He pretty much just looked at it and tried to eat the ribbon so Addison helped open his too!





Grayson's first swing....

Hanging out in his stroller before getting in the swing
relaxin'

In full swing!


Lovin' it!



Generally, our park adventures involve Grayson lounging in his stroller or in the Bjorn, but this day I decided it was time to SWING! As you can tell, he really digs it!

Happy Birthday Mama!


Here I am, with my two beautiful babies on my 32nd birthday! Once I got passed 30, it's gotten much easier to swallow 31 and 32. I had a nice day, and got a few gifts including a slew of giftcards handpicked by Addison! lol. Fortunately, she has good taste! Mike and I celebrated by ourselves last night. We had a wonderful meal at Guri del Sol, a Brazillian Steakhouse. If you've never tried one of these places, and you LOVE meat then you should try it out. It was delicious and the company was perfect...Thanks Love!

Rice Krispy Treats

"You mean, I actually get to use the spoon?"
Starting her stirring

Hard at work


Wanna bite?


Just kidding, it's MINE!

A highly recommended "cooking" experience for toddlers! These "pecial teats" are so easy to make and Addison really can do most of it herself. She was so proud!!!










Our little Spartan!

He loves to stand at this table.
Look at that dimple!

We got this outfit for Griffin when he was a baby....John & Melissa so graciously handed it down to Grayson and today, he got to sport it. Daddy is so proud!



Playing on the slide

That hair is always getting in the way!

Getting ready to turn on her belly



"Head first, mama?"




Addison loves this slide. It belongs to our neighbor and he's generously moved it closer and closer to our yard....Pretty much everytime we go outside, she's taking a slide or two. Apparently, sliding down on your belly is very fun too!






TEETH!


Just look at those teeth! He's got 5 now- the ones you can see here and his two top teeth are making their appearance now too!

Thanks Becky!




Becky took these pictures of Addison a few weeks back. I love them and wanted to share them with you. WHERE did my baby go?

Trick or Treat!

Grayson looking sweet as ever!
Addison on her way to her first house

Snow White's little bears


Believe it or not, this is the best one we got of the two of them together!



Not so happy about posing, but look how cute!
What a great time we had last night trick or treating! Addison was more than happy to skip the scary houses...actually she was more than happy to just stop trick or treating once she got a tootsie pop! We continued on and did most of the houses in the neighborhood. She got a ton of candy! Grayson hung out in his stroller and was just happy to be hanging out in his bear costume!





Pre-Halloween Fun

Having so much fun!
Busy at work

Addison's paint puddle


Jackson & Addison painting away!
We headed over to Becky's this week for some pre-halloween fun. Painting pumpkins, we've found it a lot less messy than your traditional carving. Addison & Jackson had so much fun painting away with their Diego lolipops. You'll see in the one picture, Addison decided she didn't have enough paint on her plate, so she dumped a ton of paint on it and continued her masterpiece. It started off a beautiful pumpkin-with pink, green and blue parts, and after the paint dumping, it ended up completely gray!

Fun at the Park!

Jackson just being cute
Man, does she love her "boy".

Can you believe how big this guy is getting?


Priceless!




Going across the bumpy briddge



Becky and I took the kids to the park last week. We've been having such great weather here so we are finally back to our outside everyday routine. Addison, Jackson, Grayson & Pierson all had a great time.....
