A tennis star in the making

Zachary started his "pee wee tennis" last night. He'll go every Monday night for like five weeks. He did pretty good, which means he listened to Coach Bo half the time. The other half he spent running around. He sure does look cute though holding a tennis racket.

Addison is so proud of her first two teeth!

Happy Belated Birthday Dad!

My dad's birthday was Aug. 18th. Sorry this is late dad! I'm also sorry we couldn't be there to celebrate it with you. Hope you had a great day and played some good golf!!!

Random Pictures

Addison was chilling out last night. Just as quiet as can be (which is rare for her) and watching me walk around the room.

Here's my new trick!

I caught Zachary off guard so I was able to get a picture of him!

Welcome Sophie Diana!!

Yesterday my beautiful niece Sophie Diana Rollins was born!! She weighed 7 lbs 10 oz and is 21 inches long. Sarah was such a trouper. The doctor told her to be there at 2:00 am to be induced. The doc felt she was going to have a long labor and she was right. Sophie wasn't born until 5:12 pm! Sarah is doing great though and Sophie is healthy and perfect. She has a full head of dark brown hair and it's going to be curly!! Just like her momma and daddy. She is so precious. Jason and I got to meet her this afternoon. We are so proud!! Congratulations John & Sarah!! Here are a few pics of the little beauty....

The jumper!

Addison is just starting to enjoy this. So far she can only touch one foot down at a time. Zachary loved the jumper. Hopefully Addie will too.

Happy Birthday Reeder!!!

Today is my nephew Reed's birthday! They are currently living in Shanghai, China but are back in the states for a few months to visit with family and friends. My mom, Tracy, Reed and Graham came down for a visit in July. We had a ton of fun and I am planning on posting some pictures once Tracy emails me the ones she has. Happy Birthday Reed!

Happy Birthday Kim!!

Today is my good friend Kim's birthday. Kim and I have known each other for a very long time. I have many good memories with her. I wish we could get together more often. Kim lives in Kansas so our visits are few and far between. I hope you have a great day Kimberly!!!

Cereal for the first time

Addison had her first solid food today (besides the ice cream that daddy put on her tongue a couple of weeks ago). She had rice cereal, I know you are all jealous. She liked it okay but didn't really swallow it. Mostly just pushed it around her mouth for a little bit then spit it back out. I know she'll get the hang of it soon. She had her four month shots today. Cried pretty hard but I came prepared with a pacifier dipped in sugar and that helped. Hope everyone is well.

Happy Friday!

Ugliest Shoes I Ever Did See

When I woke up this morning I had an email from my sister, Tracy. She said that my brother-in-law, Jeff, suggested I get these for the bay. I just had to share the picture with everyone because they are seriously the ugliest shoes I've ever seen. I can't believe anyone would ever buy them. I wonder how much the cost. Jeff, thanks for the suggestion but I think I will pass on these.

First family trip to the pool

I cannot believe we took our first family trip to the pool this morning and it's almost August. It was nice though because no one else was there. It was Addison's very first time in a swimming pool. Zachary took swimming lessons about a month ago so he's able to jump off the side and go under water for quite a long time. Here are a few pics from this morning.

Precious Addie

Just love Addison in this outfit..........

Todays Modeling Session

Had to post these two pictures because the denim on the top of this dress makes Addison's eyes look so blue.

Seriously

Okay I know that I am totally and completely biased but I think Addison's Robeez picture was sooo darn cute. I cannot believe she didn't get at least third place! I got an email today and it showed the three winners of the contest. The only thing I can think of is that these three pictures are all outside and it was a "summer smiles contest." I mean these kids are cute but not cuter than Addie's picture! See for yourself

Here's her picture again. I'll keep trying because they have a winner each month. I'll just have to be more creative. If you keep scrolling down on the web page you can see the previous monthly winners. The one of the little girl up in the air is darling.

Bittersweet

For those of you who know me well this will not surprise you. For those of you who don't know me as well may think I'm weird but.....I fully admit to being a Harry Potter freak. I've read all the books at least three times each. Friday night at midnight I took my place in line at the local Wal-Mart to get my copy of the seventh and final book of the series. There were at least 100 people in front of me and some people had their little ones with them. One little girl behind me had a lightening bolt painted on her forehead. So cute. Anyways, after I got my book I stopped and got Jason and I a coke icee (another addiction of mine) so I could have a little caffeine to help me stay awake. By 12:45 am I had my PJs on and was curled up in bed reading. So excited. Now for those of you who don't read the Harry Potter series you will think I am a total loser. Even those who read the books may think I am a total loser for getting so excited about it. But it's been two years though since the sixth book was released and I read that in three days. Needless to say I had been waiting a long time. I read until 5 am. Addison needed feeding at that time so I fed her and finally turned in for the night. Addison got up about eight or so so I had like 2.5 hours of sleep. I probably would have been exhausted but I wanted to get up to start reading again. Luckily for me Martin and Linda had asked to take Zachary with them to the beach that weekend so I knew I'd be able to read quite a bit that day. So in between taking care of Addison and doing some house chores I read throughout the day. I did take a break to go to dinner and a movie (Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix) with my husband. I didn't read to late that night but picked the book up as soon as I got up on Sunday. I finally finished it Sunday night about 10:30. It took me less than 48 hours to read a book that was 759 pages long. The book was really good and I enjoyed it immensely. I can't wait to read it again once Jason is done with it. I know most of you think I am crazy but you should really try reading the series if you haven't. They are so much fun. I can't wait to read them to Zachary & Addison one day!

Happy Monday!

He can even play with his feet!

She did it!

Today was another big day for our sweet little girl. She rolled over from her tummy to her back for the first time this afternoon. Jason and I were both home when it happened. We were so exited. She was pretty pleased with herself as well!!!
