I'm so excited to show you what I bought last week!  Remember when we had Addison's 1-year pictures taken?  This is probably my favorite image from Shannon.  I just love it for so many reasons.

Well look what I ordered!  Isn't it so cool?   I don't have my actual print just yet, but the sweet designer, Elizabeth, gave me permision to post the proof on my blog.  I just had to share this great find with all of you!

You all need to rush over to her Etsy shop and buy one now!  Be sure to mention my blog so she'll know I'm spreading the word!  Elizabeth has her own blog Nella Designs so be sure to check it out and you can also become a fan on Facebook HERE.  I'm already a fan and I was so shocked to see that she posted our print under her photos today!

A BIG thank you to Elizabeth for your hard work on creating this for me!  I absolutely love it!

Addi was invited to Cooper's house on Saturday for a playdate.  The mama's had so much fun chatting that we really didn't take very many pictures.  It was such a fun time and a much needed outing since it was snowing and we couldn't go outside.  Thanks Carolina and Cooper for inviting us over!

Addi really loved riding on Cooper's firetruck...it made all kids of noises and was so cool!

Puzzle time with Cooper and Meg!

Addi was really in to Cooper's puzzle of shapes! 

Now it's time for some slide fun!

"Oh this looks like so much fun!!"

"Man I'm up pretty high!  I'm a little scared...Not really!

Addi and Cooper playing in the playhouse.

Cooper's tunnel was so awesome!

Addi loved playing with the babygate, of all things. 

I love the look on Cooper's face..."Addi, I wouldn't do that if I were you!!"

Thanks again for such a fun Saturday!

after school to do list

Poor little Addison had quite a to do list waiting on her when she gets home from school.

Go outside for a snack.

Watch the kids down the street play on bikes.

 Finish snack.

 Find a stick.

 Dig in the dirt.

 Find treasures in the flowerbed.

 Watch bubbles!

 

 Dig some more.

 Ride on the car.

 Find the bubble bottle.

 And help Dada do yardowork.

 

 Such a busy little girl...I don't know where she gets it!

LuLu was in town on Friday.  She and Addi absolutely loved playing with the bubble machine!  Addi would get so excited when they would flow out, she would just scream and shake her arms.  LuLu and Addi started doing a Bubble Dance and it was absolutely priceless!!

Okay LuLu, you just have to put it down and push the button and then...

Oh I just love it when they blow in my face!
