Girls Just Wanna Have Fun

These girls think it's so fun to scream at the top of their lungs and run for their lives every time I turn the vacuum on. They did it the other day and ran back to their room screaming and laughing louder each time the vacuum got closer. I grabbed my camera and as the vacuum and I entered the room, I snapped these pictures. It was really funny! They had me laughing so hard. :-D

A Hot Summer Morning

Have there ever been sisters sweeter than these? They were best of friends today which is so refreshing since that's not always the case. I love these little ladies so darn much!

Boone

Aunt Jilly got a new puppy today! He was so sweet and cuddly and the girls absolutely fell in love with the little guy.

Don't Try This At Home, Folks

I keep the scissors out of her reach so that she doesn't think this is allowed without permission and supervision. Haha! She sure was excited to have a hand in Mommy's haircut though. Future hair stylist?!?

4th of July

My Little Athlete

Addalyn has been doing awesome at T-Ball on Monday nights! She really likes it, heat and all. You can see that she sometimes tries deciding if she's more comfortable hitting left or right handed, but she certainly does better as a lefty. Monday night is her first and only "game" (scrimmage against her own team) followed by a banquet where she'll be awarded her first medal. She has asked over a dozen times this past week when she gets to play her game and get her medal. It's great seeing her so excited and eager to play!

For some reason this darn video gets really out of focus, but I think you can still see how happy she is after her hit. :-)

Addalyn Turns 4!

Happy 4th Birthday, Addalyn Renee!

Has it been 4 years already? It just doesn't seem possible. Addalyn's been so confused as to why she was still 3 after having a birthday party. This morning she woke up and asked Nana, "NOW am I 4"? Nana said "YES!" so she ran into my room and looked in the mirror and said "no I'm not, I don't look any bigger!". I love it! Tonight was her first night of dance and she did awesome. Followed all the directions and looked like extra cute in her dance attire. Here are a few pictures...

Sassy Pants!

I love the hands on the hips!

"Mama! Mama! Watch me jump!"

The Littlest Justin Bieber Fans!

We can't get enough "Justin Fever" around our house these days! Addy and Mace can both sing the entire beginning to "Baby". We listen to it daily. Addalyn comes up with new dance moves each time! I finally got her enrolled in a summer dance class so let's see how she dances in 4 weeks. Between baseball on Monday nights and dance on Wednesdays, our summer is going to fly by!
PS--this is the outfit she wore to the sitter's on this day. I argued with her for a few minutes that morning but decided it wasn't worth it. She loves her "single ladies outfit"!

The Addalyn and The Macey Flowers!

For Mother's Day this year, Patty and the girls picked out these beautiful Azalea plants to put in front of the house. Addalyn is sitting next to the Addalyn plant and Macey is next to the Macey plant. Macey's is a little smaller and has some catching up to do! We water them daily and I'll continue to take their pictures in front of them as they (the flowers and my babies!) continue to grow. :-)

Macey Is Officially Potty Trained!

Two and a half weeks ago, I picked Macey up from the babysitter's house and she informed me that Macey was wearing the same diaper I brought her in that morning...dry as can be! She decided on her own that she was ready to be a big girl and hasn't looked back since. I'm so very proud of my sweet angel, but I have to admit...it makes me so sad that my BABY is out of diapers (except for night time, of course!). Where's the pause button on life?! They're growing too quickly!
