It's been a while

Sorry it has been so long since my last post. I have started to read this book, and it has cut in on my blogging time.

So far I really like it, I am only half way done.

Here is what we have been up to lately. Addy has been playing at the pool....a lot. That pretty much sums it up. Here is Tayla and Addy getting ready to go to the pool. If anyone every wants to go don't hesitate to call me. We love to have friends at the pool. Here is a picture from Ashlyn's birthday party. I can't believe all of Addy's friends are starting to turn 2! It is such a fun age.

Here are the kiddos dancing with their party shakers.

Addy and Bella to busy for lunch at the party.
This is a picture of Caleb's scores on his video game "Trials" (Motorcycle racing) He took 15th place on one of the levels and was so proud he took a picture of it. (Dorky I know...trust me I know)

Addy still loves to go jogging in the morning and has learned to crawl up in the stroller and yell for me.

Lastly mothers day!

I am so thankful for mothers. I am grateful that I could be a mother and that it has changed my life completely. I wanted to thank Caleb for going all out and making the day so special.
I couldn't get Addy to take a good picture with me. She was completely wound up after nursery and becuase of our church schedule she doesn't nap on Sunday so it can get pretty wild.
I asked for Mango Salsa. Isn't it pretty? Food always tastes so much better when you don't have to make it yourself. That and Caleb is an excellent cook. Caleb made cafe rio salads. We don't have a Cafe rio in Texas so this is as close as it gets.

I am grateful for all the mother figures in my life and hope every mom got spoiled and had a wonderfully day!

Grandma Sue's Visit

Caleb's mom, Sue, has been here all week. We had such a blast, not that we did anything exciting. We did the things we normally do, but it is much more fun with visitors. She brought lots of presents to win Addy over from day one. Here is a picture of Addy in her new Ariel PJ's.
And her fairy princess dress up skirt. She loved running around in this.Addy loved palling around with grandma. They got to be good friends right away.
Even when Addy was really tired after shopping all day at the new outlet malls.Here is a picture from our pool. Thanks for coming to visit Sue!

Am I obsessed?

Okay don't think I am crazy obsessive or anything, but I guess I am because this topic has hit my blog more than once. At least I am not the only one. The entire cast for the new movie basically make up the top 30 most searched names on the web. I found a few exciting videos about TWILIGHT. There are 4 videos on this page. ENJOY!

Busy Week

So we were all really tired after Puerto Rico. I was also really sad our vacation was over and I was glad to do some fun things this week to keep our minds off of our vacation. We went to the new Bounce place by our house with Kade and Cassidy. The all time favorite was the giant slide.

Then we went to the zoo with Tayla. The lions were out and Addy was laughing at them.
Here they are holding hands.
And for a fun weekend we went camping at Lake Livingston with the Clarks and the Calls. The kids had so much fun running around from tent to tent. The only hard part was that the kids couldn't sleep when they didn't have their own crib. Kelsey said her girls were up jumping on the matress and giggling until 4:30 am. Addy woke up 4 times, but would go back to sleep if we cuddled.

Kade loved to wear the head lamp even though it was almost to big for his head.

Landon is such a cute happy baby. He was all smiles.
We sat around the camp fire until almost midnight.

We thought we lost Addy's shoes so she had to wear an extra pair of Kade's. Here she is playing in the dirt. Luckily Summer, the shoe princess, found it before the end of the trip.

The morning after: Kylee being cool and Addy didn't want her picture taken.

So if you look close at Kylee's PJs you can see her right leg is swollen and tight. Well that is because she played so hard all night her diaper fell off and went down by her foot. I had a ton more pictures, but I lost them all as I was uploading them to the computer. I am so sad :(

Puerto Rico

Well I haven't posted pictures from Puerto Rico because I took way to many...over 400. It was really hard to narrow down which ones to post. Here is Addy being a little pool rat. Below is Caleb taking her down the slide. Addy's favorite activity was the pool and going by the end of the trip she could kick herself to the edge of the pool. She loved to go down the slide and every time we were in the hotel she would say "poo poo" asking someone to please take her to the pool. This is a picture of us on our way to the pool. Our hotel grounds were so beautiful and we were right on the beach so we could step out onto the sand any time. Our hotel was really quite wonderful.
Here are my sisters, Missy and Alesha with Addy just before the rain forest hike. We went to the top of this tower. Which had the most amazing view. But we didn't stay to long because the people up there waiting for us to leave so they could smoke weed. (They assumed we couldn't speak spanish)

However, they were nice enough to take our picture for us. But it doesn't really show the view.

If you look close you can see the tower on top of the hill. Then we hiked to this gorgeous waterfall. This creepy guy kept following Alesha and Missy around and I couldn't get a picture of them without him in it. So if anyone could help me learn how to photo shop him out that would be great!Here is Caleb underneath the waterfall.Iguanas lived at our hotel grounds near a pond. It was kinda scary how Addy wasn't afraid of them. She tried to feed them anything she could find. Occasionally they wondered out to the pool side.

We rented sea kayaks. We caught some awesome waves, but Caleb fell out on our way in. He claims it was my fault, but I am not so sure about that.

Here is Alesha climbing a palm tree. You can't tell from this picture but she was up there really high. This is my brother, Caleb (I know it gets confusing sometimes). He was so sweet the entire trip and Addy adores him. He cracked open some coconuts so we could drink them and pretend we were on the show LOST. Missy and Alesha in their snorkel gear at Seven Seas beach. We hung out here while the guys went on a scuba dive. We also did the body board, but I didn't get any pictures of it.

Addy didn't particularly like the beach she kept saying the sand was too "hot" and the waves coming at her frightened her. This is at the Fort San Cristobal entrance. My cute parents at the Fort. Here is everyone on one of the ramps at the Fort. It's hard to see them because it was hot and everyone was in the shade.

My favorite part of the trip was the bioluminescence lagoon. I don't have any pictures because our guide told us not to bring cameras. We kayaked under the stars through this canal that had the trees draped over it like a love tunnel. In the dark the moving water would glow. So you could see shrimp that would jump in the water because they were glowing a neon blue color. When you put your hand in the water it would glow even after you took it out. I guess there are about 5 places in the world with the right conditions for glowing plankton to live. So it was pretty neat, not to mention romantic. :)

Well there you have it our trip in a nutshell. I could go on and on about it, but I think this post is plenty long enough.
