New Goals...

Due to being insanely busy, the blog seems to be falling by the wayside and is being neglected. Seems that when I was on maternity leave it was much easier to find time to upload pictures and post about what is going on. Basketball season seems to be impacting it as well since I am at home with the kids quite a bit while Jared coaches, so with that ending soon hopefully things will get a little back on track. Although frisbee season is already starting too! I really want to keep the blog up because its a good journal of our childrens lives and at some point I will block enough time to make blog books for them (and me!). So my new goal will be to post at least once a week with the hopes that some weeks will have more than just one post. So here is the last week!
Ty got his first little toothy! Here it is a couple days later and a little easier to see! The next one is on its way in too so that one should poke through in the next day or two!
After Addy's birthday and Christmas, we put a lot of the toys and gifts away so that throughout the winter we could take out special gifts instead of just opening them all up at once. So we decided it was time to take out her princess costume that she got from Amanda and Bianca.
How cute is she!!!! (note the high heels!) She LOVED her "wish" (aka wand) and all the play jewelry that came with the outfit.

Yep, she truely is a princess!

Princess Addison Javonna Sharelle also thought it would be fitting to have a tea party for the dollies and JT's monkey! (seriously cute)

Project Pink Carseat is in full swing! OK so I never intended that my son would have a pink carseat. When we brought Addy home, I was very careful to buy gender neutral carseats, strollers, crib, etc so that if we had a boy the second time, that we could reuse all the big stuff... Well all that planning went out the wayside! Ty is too big for his infant seat so we needed to buy a convertible rear facing seat (we skipped that with Addy). So I polled my friends, searched the internet and came to the conclusion that the Britax Marathon was the best choice. It was however insanely expensive. And then I found out that for February some of them went on sale. Well the only ones that were on sale were pink or purple... So I told Addy to pick a color! Once we switch Ty to be front facing after he is 12-24 months, we will trade carseats and Addy will get the pink one and Ty will get the black one that Addy is using. Seriously, pink or spend 200$ more, I'll take the clearance one! And Ty seems happy with the choice. Real men ride pink right!
Today we decided to do a special family day. We went up to the big zoo! It was a lot of fun (except for the half hour meltdown on the Monorail!). Addy LOVED the animals and JT loved the big fish and sharks. They finally got a chance to ride in the new double jogger we got a while ago and really liked sitting next to each other. I think it will be great this summer!




And tonight, our friend was speaking at a fundraiser for her adoption agency so we took Miss Sophia for the night. I wasn't fast enough to get a good pics of the girls making the loop running with their dollies in the strollers!
And a little love for Mr JT as well!
They even sat nicely for half of a movie (the half where they were eating popcorn)!


I do have some videos from the past few weeks that will be posted soon too! I know I keep saying that but they are finally uploading right now!
