November 2012

Since I am trying to catch up, most of the posts will just be pictures with a few captions!

The kids wanted to do a science experiment so we decided to do the ivory soap in the microwave... this is before when they were super excited. unfortunately it was a huge FLOP! Apparently really old ivory doesn't work!

Addy is still in dance. She is taking Jazz and Ballet. Every session there is one day that you can watch during their class! Addy is always very excited to have people watch her.

 We saw Santa a few times this year. Once was at the local little zoo that had a festival of lights!

 Addy is also in gymnastics this year and had her first mini-meet! She had a lot of fun. Her friend Adia was in this class with her.

 All the kids were given participation medals for each event that they competed on. She was super excited to be able to wear medals!

 She is very bendy and flexible and is working on good form! She did very well at her mini-meet and was moved up to the next level shortly after!

October 2012

Ok, back to updating! If I could just get caught up then I think I could manage a few posts a month!

October was a busy month and these pics are in random order.

A friend who moved to a beautiful place in the country let us come over, play, and take pictures! I love the dress addy is in, it was a whole DoLLAR! I know right!

 The kids even got a chance to ride all of their fun toys!

 We had numerous trips to various orchards... This one is a fun one! We went with Emme and Kiki and the kids had a lot of fun!

 JT explaining the different types of apples to kiki!

A fun orchard in the cities by Meenas even had pony rides!

 Halloween seemed to sneak up on us this year. JT was a firefighter and Addy was a flower at the mall for trick or treating, a gypsy at daycare, and rapunzel around our neighborhood.

 Addy and I went to camp UMOJA again this year and had a fun time seeing old friends! It is located at a beautiful place so we always snap a few pics!

 Back to halloween... this year we let both kids draw their own faces on their pumpkins and they got to help cut them out!

 Ji'Robert was very proud of his!

 At UMOJA this year, Addy had her hair braided! We havent had her hair professionally done before so it was fun to see. Addy did really well and sat like a sweetie! It turned out super cute and lasted a bit longer than it typically does when I do it!

 Three peas in a pod reunited! Joyanna, Ella Grace, and Miss A!

 We did lots of fun projects!

 Miss Nita!

 Isabel who was another friend from past years.

 Addy and Joyanna had a special bond and the last night Joyanna gave Addy one of her special little kitties to take home! They were very sad to say goodnight!

My little spunky diva!

My sweet little Addy picked out her own outfit at Shopko and it was just too cute to not take pics in. And she brought her spunkiness with and was spent the whole time dancing and posing in her dance moves!

 Later that week we went to the book store and she was just too pretty to resist!

I am one blessed mama!
