Addie's Visit




Here are a few pictures from when Addie visited last weekend. We can't believe how big she has gotten. She is quite the little swimmer and ALWAYS happy. She is the cutest thing. Hopefully we'll have some more pics soon, that Mike took at the playground and pool.

New Addition to the Family



















Well, we have ANOTHER new addition to our family! She is a 7 year old chocolate lab name Zasabelle. We adopted her from one of Scott's friends who was moving and wasn't able to take her. She is absolutely great with the kids and is very calm. Which is nice because it balances out the commotion that Diesel (our 3yrs old Chow & Lab Mix) tends to create.

Play Time





These are some pictures from the other morning when the girls were playing after breakfast. Allie brought down a doll from Lexie's room and thought that she would want to play with it while she was swinging. The things on the girls heads are soft buckets that we had from when Allie was a baby. We use to think it was funny to put them on Allie when she was little. Now we think we may have damaged her slightly because any time she sees a bucket it goes straight to her head. Its not to bad with the soft buckets because they are easy to get off. It is another story though when she tried to put a metal princess bucket on her head that was supposed to be holding her Easter presents. That one took about 15 minutes to get off. Of course it never fazed her because as soon as we brought out the soft buckets right on her head. Now she is passing on the tradition to her sister. Hopefully one day Allie will realize she can put other items in buckets other then her head.

More Pics at the Pool




Here are some more pictures of the kids at the pool. Scott was throwing Justin across the pool and he was loving it. Every now and then he'd wind up doing a belly flop. Allison was hanging on the side and walk her way around the pool. It was funny to watch her head bob up and down along the side. Lexie went in the pool for the first time. I don't think she really cared one way or another though because she was alseep within 5 minutes. When mom got tired of holding her she continued her nap in her car seat.
