Hands-On

I fell behind a bit on my blogging this month since I've been spending quite a bit of time in Seattle for work. Also, we've all been sick off and on for the last 6 weeks. Anyway, a while ago we took Addy to the Children's Hands-on Museum. She had a blast!

First we walked around the capital where Mommy works.



We visited the World War II memorial and saw Addy's great, great uncle's memorial tile.



Little went nuts at the museum, there is so much to see and do!



She took a great nap that afternoon!

Easter Egg Hunt

Jodi and I took Wyatt and Addy out to the Tumwater Easter Egg Hunt Saturday morning. Addy was all dressed up cute and ready to go. Check out her "I scream for ice cream" outfit.



First, of course, we had to do coffee! Check out the kids at Starbucks.


Addy knows how to say I love you in sign language - sort of. Isn't this adorable? This is how she says I love you with her hand. :)


I wasn't sure how Addy would do, but she got the idea. The countdown finished and she hustled out onto the field and found 4 eggs all by herself. Then she was done, while everyone else was running for more Addy just stopped and dumped hers out and then picked them back up. :)



Wow, look at all my eggs!




Addy was anxious to check out what was inside the eggs:

Wyatt and Little also really liked the recycle bins that everyone tossed the empty eggs into . . . they spent a lot of time with their hands in the bin.

What a fun time! Thanks for inviting us! Wyatt gives Addy some loves.

Addy also had to spend some time checking out the puddles on the way back to the car!


Can't wait for Easter Day!

Weekend Fun

Just a few shots from the last week and this weekend.

Like mother like daughter . . . here is Addy enjoying dipping her graham cracker into chocolate.


Addy and I did some self portraits - we were having a blast taking shots and then looking at them and taking more.



Scott finally came over and shot one for us.


Does anyone recognize this guy? (Think old school rap)


This weekend when our friends came over Gavin got into the dress up drawer and came out looking like a little flavor flav! So funny!


Here we are enjoying the nice weather on the porch. Addy and Daddy are sharing a snack.


See you soon!

Outside at Last

Addy got the chance last weekend (because it stopped raining for once) to take a run outside. She busted out of the house and spent about an hour running around outside this morning.




Then our friends Mardi, Gary and Stanley came to visit and we went for a walk with them.



Here is the group chatting, where is Addy?


Here is Addy wandering off down the road. She is an explorer!


Thanks for coming down you guys!

See you later!

Hair-Do's

Addy got her first hair cut on Saturday! But first you gotta see what they had to work with . . .

Last night after we took out her ponytail her hair was looking a little wild to say the least.



She definitely needed a hair cut!! Little did really good - she was a little uneasy but came through it looking great. And she even said bye-bye and blew kisses on her way out the door.

Pretty girl! :)

Final shots of San Diego Trip

Here are just a few more shots from San Diego:

Feeding the birds. This shot my Mom caught is so cool - click to enlarge and see the beautiful colors. Addy was not very happy with these birds flying all over. She was very happy when we left the aviary.


We got the chance to see the mommy lion with her two little babies:


Flying over the zoo (that is us in #8).

Family walk around the resort:


Remember the Hyena from my last post? This is an up close shot my Dad got when it locked its eyes on Miss. Addy. No messing around here, I got Little out of there quick.


The family!



What a fun trip!
