Play date at the Park!

The girls and I got together with my friend Tammy and her adorable little girls, Trinity & Rylee. It works perfect because Tammy's girls are so close in age with mine. Trinity is 3 and Rylee is 3 days older than Adalynne. It was great to get the girls together and share stories about the same thing--having a toddler and a newborn, such drama! =)

We played on the playset, swung, and ate lunch at the pavilion! What fun!! Thanks so much Tammy we had a blast! Here are some pics of our fun!

The girls!

Those of you that read this...PLEASE pray for me to survive this cat!! Ahhhh!! I will definitley have to take a picture of the constant stand-off between the cat & Lulu that happens about 3-4 times a day! It's serious, but at the same time hilarious! If it's not the cat & dog battling it's my precious little Vay saying, "Mommy, where is the kitty?" She asks me a series of questions about the cat literally 30 times a day!!! If that's not enought to drive a mommy crazy I don't know what is!! Sorry I'll step off my soap box and post about more important things! =)

It's actually funny that Melanie-aka Gramma asked me this morning if Adalynne was reaching for things. This afternoon while she was relaxing in her swing she reach out and grabbed her block today!!! YAY!! I was walking by and had to do a double take...it took all I had not to jump up and down with excitement and pride! Avayah was grabbing and picking things up by 2 1/2 months and sure enough it would only be right for her baby sister to follow in her footsteps! =) Here are some pictures of her reaching out to her block...



I got the girls ready to bring their daddy dinner and had to take some pictures of them. I had to post one of Vay not smiling because she was chomping on a cookie and needless to say her mouth was a mess! =) So here's a shot of the girls and one of Adalynne.

Introducing---KITTY!

Did I mention that my husband can't say no to his daughter?!?! She has literally begged him for a cat, kitty, kitten; however she can put it. She'll look at pictures of cats/kittens and say how adorably soft it is? How does she know that! So I guess we own a cat now...so instead of being a family of 5 it's now 6! Who would of thought 4 years later!!!

The cat doesn't have a name yet...we just call him kitty/cat! He is 8 weeks old and a complete little spit-fire! Can you tell how excited I am about this!!!! This is the part where I would insert one of those mad faces. It's been a little trying since the cat believes that Lulu is satan!! Regardless Avayah is thrilled to have him. Here are some pics of her new friend...and one pic of mommy & Adalynne before we went to MOPS this morning! **Notice the last pic of Avayah...how spoiled is that face! =)

Ballerina Princess

Avayah started her ballet/dance class today! My little princess couldn't have looked any more adorable....sorry mommy syndrome--every mom thinks their kids are the cutest!

When the class started Vay was right on point (of course for a 2 1/2 year old). Since mommy had to keep baby sister entertained, Vay was the teacher's shadow and she lived up to the role! If you could have seen my face...I was the mom completely gushing with pride! I'm so proud of my little Avayah Shay.

During the class, they got to dance, sing, and imitate the teachers moves. They walked on a balance board actually taking turns--by far Avayah's favorite! It was a great class..with an excellent teacher. Vay is going to love this! One side note...why can nobody we meet pronounce Vay's name correctly (a-vay-ah?!?!?!) I guess that is what you get for trying to be different! =)


Meme & Papa come to visit!

We were so delighted that Papa & Meme came to visit the girls and I! Meme brought a surprise--as Vay calls it...what could be better than fresh vegetables from Aunt Gails garden! Thank you Meme!!!

Of course during their visit Avayah acts like her usual self when we have visitors...a complete rotten, spoiled, drama queen!!! Adalynne was the complete opposite relishing in her great grandma & grandpa's affection. We are so blessed for our family! Adalynne tried to pout once, but Meme talked her out of it. =) Here is a few pictures from their visit. We sure love you guys!


Pretty in Yellow!

This morning the girls and I went to church for a bible study! Both the girls had a great time in the nurseries...Vay got into a little trouble as I expected...since her middle name is CrAzY!!! Here is a few pics before we left!

Spaghetti Face

Avayah's most favorite food...pretty much the only food (besides CaNdY) that I can count on her eating everytime I make it. So here's her adorable face after a mess of spaghetti!

Tummy time!

Adalynne is already 9 weeks! She is doing so great holding her head up during tummy time. Of course during the 10 minutes Addy was on her tummy, Vay was either trying to help hold up her sister's head or trying to encourage Addy to lift her head while shoving the toy in her face! Bless her heart she's such a little mommy! =) Here are a few pics of Adalynne's success.....
