Some additional pictures

Here are some pictures from this past week - getting ready for Addison's big day.

One night I gave Addison a quick bath in the kitchen sink.

Jacob built his train tracks - he says "I build it"

Look close - you can see daddy sleeping on the couch

Addison with her tongue out as well

IT'S BEEN A YEAR....

ADDISON TURNED ONE on August 15th

I cant' believe it's been a year - where has the time gone. My baby girl was one this past friday.

Here is the birthday announcement & invitation I sent out.

Tutu photos

I wanted to get some pictures of Addison wearing her tutu for her birthday invitation but couldn't find the time. Finally, I got them - not the greatest - but here are some of the pictures

Addison's first tutu

Jacob saying "cheeeeeese" for the camera (with gum in his mouth!!)

Naptime - Jacob & Race Cars!

On Saturday, I told Jacob if he wanted to go racing that night, he needed to lay down on the couch and take a nap. I went into the other room and this is what I found when I returned.

Jacob (along with all his late models & sprint car) were on the couch getting ready for his nap.

Addison Walking & more

Well I stated in my last post that Addison was walking and didn't post any pictures of it.

Here she is starting to take-off

starting to fall down

Sweet baby girl playing

Long time no update!!

I have a lot of updating to do, so I'm going to get busy - everything will probably be out of order.

I'm going to start with some pictures from tonight.

Addison is walking - well taking about 5-6 steps at a time,

then she gets so excited she falls down.

My little model posing for the camera

Jacob loving his baby sister (he did this because I got the camera out - he wanted mommy to take pictures of him loving on his baby sister!!)

Little Lance - look at those lips - just like her daddy!!

Looking out the window

Okay, I took about a zillion pictures of Addison (as she was smiling & laughing) and the majority of them turned out like this - this is me

Sophia is 4!!

Trip to the Zoo

...I went on down to the Audubon Zoo
And they all axed for you
They even knew alot about you
They all axed for you
The monkeys axed The tigers axed And the elephants axed me too....

Our favorite part of the zoo is feeding the giraffes.

Jacob loves it. Here is Jacob & Aunt Melynda feeding the giraffes.
