To those of you who were part of my life a very long time ago, you will get a kick out of this video... to everyone else, I'm sure it looks like a bunch of babble!

The big E!
Addy and I got a day alone! Addy was super cute outside! Played.. I mean pulled out the long decorative grass!
Danced in front of her sunflowers...
After playing outside we went to the free Saturday movie which this week was Cloudy with a Chance of Meatballs. This was our second attempt at a movie (you may remember the first, Princess and the Frog, which we didn't see the end of) so I thought that this time we would go to a free movie incase we had to leave. She did great! A little antsy toward the end but for being a movie without lots of singing and dancing she did awesome! 
And pictures by the big ELMO!
What a fun memorable night!

Addy loved it! I didn't tell her until the night before and she then talked about it constantly! And then when we arrived she was exstatic! We took pictures by the big truck! She did great for the whole thing and sang and danced for most of it!
How tiny is she!

And then there were THREE!
We were blessed with Miss Sophia's presence this evening so I thought I would attempt a fun outing, me and the three kiddos... brave I know! As we were getting ready, JT was a bit on the crabby clingy side, AJ wasn't listening well and I thought to myself that this wasn't probably the best idea but whats the worse that could happen, right!
So we packed up and headed out! To the mall we went.
First stop... food court (healthy right!). We settled on chinese: orange chicken, mixed vegetables, lomein, and rice! The girls and Ty ate a TON! And me being smart, I brought dividy plates and sippy cups! Of course AJ was attempting to use chopsticks but then decided to sing the stick song from dance instead...lovely!

We went to the play area and played for a while and since the girls were good, they got to ride on one of the cars together! JT was cute too and ran all over the play area and kept trying to leave!
After we got home, we played outside for a while... The girls had fun yelling up and down the slide to eachother!
Cute Addy feet!
All three played very nice outside and were extraordinarily cute!... note little tyty sliding down on his tummy!
Then we danced around inside, not quite sure where they got their moves! It sure wasn't from dance class!
And now PJ, popcorn, and Cindarella time!
And a good time was had by all! We survived the mall and everyone listened well! They are too cute!

Missing Anything???
One cutie petutie!
An evening craft! So proud of her little clay bugs!
Super sweet siblings! They play together really well and Addy just loves JT! She's even convinced him that its fun to push her around on her princess car! She even shares her coveted penguin!
Looks like one happy little brother being loved up by sissy!
We went to a county fair with Logan and Alden! Just Kris and I, 4 kids, one double stroller, a lot of food, and a ton of fun! All of the kids were really good! Addy got to milk a fake cow (kind of odd but she enjoyed it).
This was at the end of the evening... the babes were tired!
Addy and Alden (on the pony behind AJ) got to ride the ponies!
Addy's new found talent... Head stands! Bad picture but she did it great! Super funny!
Met up with Eleanor at the art festival in town! There were activities for the kids, art for sale, music, and dancing (slightly inappropriate dancing... no comment). The girls enjoyed playing and dancing to the music!
And enjoyed eating baby tomatoes that we got at the farmers market!
Papa got this super cool jewelery box for Miss AJ. We brought it up to her room and she filled it with her stuff!
She's definetly MY daughter! Make up in the top drawer (remember our makeup project?), brushes and mirrors in the second drawer, bracelets and watches in the third drawer, and necklaces in the bottom drawer... She loves to sort!
This is after applying her pretend make up! So proud of her accomplishment!
And putting on more!
Tonight we all went to the park and JT was very brave. He climbed up the stairs, got to the top of the slide, and slid down all on his own!
Ever feel like you may be missing something???? Maybe you have this problem too!

A week in review... or has it been 2 weeks?
Last weekend I took AJ for a special surprise trip....Look where we ended up!
That's right! Back to the Yellow Brick Road! She loved it so much and its only in town for a limited time so we went back, this time just the two of us. Spent quite a while at the Wizard of Oz exhibit and then went to the bubbles and back to the Wiz. Addy was captivated by the horse of a different color where you turned color wheels to make the horse turn colors... She had her picture taken in all of the different colors!
After that it was to Meenas to visit Meena and Papa for the night. Went to a little county fair which AJ LOVED! Got another pony ride!
Most of you probably think I am crazy seeing as we go to tons of little carnivals and festivals but I love them! And so do the kids! When I was little, I loved the movie Toby Tyler about a little boy who ran away and joined the circus. He was an acrobat with the horses. Somewhere in my heart I think I always wished I could do that so maybe my carnival obsession stems from that!

For some reason, JT looks like a real boy in this picture and not my little baby!
OK, for those of you who aren't sale shoppers, look away now! This is a little riduculous but how could I pass up 4 African American Dolls for under 12$.... TOTAL! That's right 2-5$ a piece! Target had a toy clearance and the section was small and picked over but these were crammed on the bottom shelf in the corner! Do we really need 4 dolls, nope! But they may come in handy for special prizes... like when potty training is done etc.
Yesterday we tried a new hairstyle. Pretty quick and simple but turned out cute! Piggyback ponies around the side and up the back and then three stranded twists turned into a knob (ok knob isn't the right term but I can't think of what is!) Also been trying a few new products (Jane Carter, Cantu, & Kimble) which has been fun. They smell great and seem to work pretty well so far!
Tonight after Ji'Robert went to bed, AJ sported her new apron which we made at a friends house last week. And we made pepper jelly! I've been craving it since Kina's canning party! YUM! Although our house now is kind of stinky from the honey (I hate the smell of honey!).
AJ super excited to help stir!
And loved wearing the oven gloves (safety measure since she wanted to stand and watch me stir it on the stove)!
This week has actually been more relaxing than usual! We have had less scheduled things and have had time to go shopping, do cleaning, and just hang out!

My Boy!
Holy COW! My little baby is 13 months old today! Can you believe it, 13 months! So what is he doing now???
Ji'Robert Tyler is extremely mobile! He went from not standing alone to walking in one week! And over that next week went from baby steps to fully walking and now is exclusively walking and even runs a little bit. He has the typical toddler toddle which is SUPER cute!He is into everything, cupboards, shelves, boxes, toys, clothes, everything! He LOVES snuggling with his blankey (or AJ's blankey) when he is tired or teasing you by playing peek with it. He would prefer to be outside and loves stroller rides. At the park, the swing is his favorite place to be.
He is saying mama and dada (mama more though:)) But he is definetly a daddys boy!
He's got 12 teeth which he's had for a while so not sure when his next ones will be coming in! He's still in 24 month clothes and has been for the past 6 months!
He's a great little brother and plays very well with his big sissy. Although he does want whatever she is playing with! He LOVES all of his trucks and balls (a big thank you to all of you who got him boy toys for his birthday!).
He is a pretty happy boy but is still having issues with constipation (I know, TMI!). Poor little guy! As long as he's loose, he's a happy goose! (no that's not his new pickup line!).
I just can't believe that he is already that old! He is a super cute little boy and we love him with all of our heart! Can't wait to see how much he learns, grows, and changes over the next few months!
Over the rainbow
This last week has been full of fun! Addy has been a peach with fewer and fewer big tantrums (thank God!) and has been cooperating more and more!
We spent some time together drawing on the magna doodle and here is her first real face that you can actually tell what it is! She was super proud of her creation!
The childrens museum has a Wizard of Oz exhibit which was super fun. It's one of my all time favorite movies and AJ is just as into it as I was!
JT had fun toddling around the yellow brick road. He was a bit grumpy that day so it was fun to see him happy on the brick road!
Addy was a little nervous but then finally gave in and sat on the witches bicycle!
Me, Ji'Robert, and the Oz doorman!
Pay no attention to the man behind the curtain!
Over the rainbow (or under it!).
Addy as a turtle in another exhibit!
Meena painted AJ's face at the self painting station!
Bubble Boy.
And as we left, we took a trip to the gift store where AJ got some good shopping in.... Ruby Slippers (in the bag) and a metal lunch box (which she LOVES)!
AJ's first time shucking corn! 
JT enjoyin the swingin!
Ladybug ridin!
Swing!
Had a fun trip to the fair today! The kiddos LOVED the animals. We even got special treatment since it wasn't busy. AJ's cuteness got people to take their animals out of their cages so that she could pet them! Oh, and she wanted green ice cream and needlesss to say, they had green apple ice cream! Here is TyTy's enjoyment with our ice cream...
It was hair night! Look at this beautiful fro!
