more pics of our little Addison

Yes I am mother of the year! Shopping with two kids is a challenge let me tell you, but I was horrified when this happened!
I had Addison in her carseat placed and locked at the top of the shopping cart. Gwen wanted to ride in the big part of the shopping cart. As we were walking across the parking lot towards the sidewalk... well the wheels got stuck between the asphalt and cement. Yup, the cart went forward and Gwen took a header right onto the cement. Ugh it was horrible. She'll be okay though! Whew!

Happy Birthday to you!

Today is our 1st borns birthday... yes Magnum turned 9 years old today. He got a cheeseburger from Mc Donalds for lunch, a scoop of ice cream after his dinner, a squeeky cupcake toy, and a raw hide. I think he made out today!

Happy Birthday Buddy!

snow!

A couple of pictures of our first snowfall here in Iowa. Gwen couldn't wait to get her snow gear on when she got up and saw the snow. Magnum was not too far behind her in the excitement. He loves it@!

I'm 2 months old today.

Our little Addison Lynn turned 2 months old today. The time is going by tooo fast, but I am enjoying every minute of it that I can.

Happy girl one minute.
Very upset little girl the next.

Loves listening to her big sister sing to her.

Tummy Time.

I'm not sure I like this very much mommy!
Break.

Okay, now I am getting really mad.

Ahhh, much better especially with my mink.
Picture time with Magnum

will i ever get a good picture of this girl?

Gwen has become one really hard picture taker. She'll say cheese but not look at you or look at you and not smile. So here is our little girl 2 1/2 yrs old. Maybe 3 years old will be the year that we get good pics.

Night Eyes at Des Moines Zoo

The Dido Family joined us for a night of trick or treating at the zoo. It's a very small zoo, but we still had fun. Gwen of course didn't know the difference.

All three of the kids dressed up and ready to have some fun

Can you tell someone didn't have a nap this day?

Addison seemed to have enjoyed herself

Much better riding on daddy's shoulders

And also having daddy push her around was a big hit. Poor thing couldn't reach the peddles.

Happy Halloween

New tradition now living in Iowa.... We go trick or treating the Sunday prior to Halloween Night. It's called Begger's night.

Don't mind the bra strap showing (thanks Jayson for not telling me) or the no make-up, it was a long day.

4 weeks.

I know I am way behind in posting pictures.

Here are a few pictures of Addison at her one month mark. She's already changing and definitely filling out. No more skinny newborn, we now have a chunky monkey. I just love the picture of her and Gwen. We couldn't have asked for a better big sister for her.
