PJs and Polka Dots

Just wanted to show off my cute kids. I got Zachary these new PJs and he felt pretty cool in them.

Here's a few of Addie. She pulls up on everything now and is getting better at stabling herself. Not as many bruises on the face anymore thank goodness! The last picture is pretty blurry but pretty funny.

"Look a new Simon!"

The other day I took Simon to the groomers because his coat is just so thick and gets easily matted. Unfortunately for him, having two kids leaves me little time and energy to keep it looking nice. (It also makes him look thinner and he needs all the help he can get.) When I picked him up and brought him home Zachary asked me "Who's that?" and pointed at Simon. Totally didn't recognize him. Which is funny because I've had Simon shaved a number of times. After he realized it was in fact Simon he kept saying, "Look a new Simon!" I found it humorous so I thought I'd share some before and after pictures of our sweet doggie. In the first picture (where his hair is long) it was spring of last year so that is why the grass looks so nice a green. His hair is also brushed and looks quite nice!

Our Goddaughter

Our Goddaughter, Sophie, was baptized this past Sunday. The service was very nice and all of the kids behaved so well. Here is Sophie Diana in her Christening gown. So sweet!

Here is one I took of her later in the day over at John & Sarah's.

Just wanted to share this picture of sweet little Maggie (Sarah's brother's daughter). Isn't she precious. Just two months old.

Here is Addison in her church clothes. Her bow is never on straight for pictures for some reason.

This picture isn't all that good of any of us but I wanted to get Zachary on here. Looks like Z & A have the same expression on their face. :-)

I need your help y'all

Okay, my friend Kelly has posted a contest on her blog. She is the one who took those darling shots of Addison when I went back to KS last October. There are a bunch of children's photos to choose from and the winner gets a free session and a free 11x14. I'm probably going to have her take the kids pictures when I go back (hopefully) to KS in June. So I need all of y'all to go to her blog site and vote for Addison's picture. She is the second to last picture so scroll down and then vote for "GG." Here's the link:

Vegas Bound!

I am so excited. Yesterday I booked flights for Jason and I to go to Vegas the beginning of March. I'm even more excited that my parents are coming down then because I haven't seen them since October. For those of you who get to see your family often you are very lucky! Since Jason and I rarely get to take trips together (just the two of us) I thought I would take advantage of the grandparents being here and book us a getaway for a few days while Zachary & Addison spend some quality time with Grandma & Grandpa Lilly. Neither of us have been to Vegas so if any of you out there have gone and had a good (or bad I guess) experience where we could benefit from your knowledge let me know! Anyways, here is a picture of Addison from this morning. She's so pretty in purple.

A wee bit jealous

I have always wanted to go to Australia. When I was a little girl I received a stuffed koala bear (toy obviously) and ever since I have wanted to hold a real one. Needless to say I was a bit jealous when my sister, Tracy, sent me this picture. She and her family and my parents went 'down under' for Christmas & New Years. Two whole weeks in Australia!! Yes, very jealous. They had an amazing time and just got back from their trip on the 4th. I am dying to see more pictures!!!

I thought this one was such a neat picture. Those are Tracy and Jeff's two boys, Reed & Graham, feeding the kangaroos.

A new way to play in the exersaucer

I came in the living room today to find Addison in her exersaucer. She's creative, I'll give her that!

I thought she was getting back out but nope!
She wanted to play in it some more.

She finally got out. I'm sure that was a fun adventure for her!
