It's raining, it's pouring...

It's debatable whether Addy is being naughty or nice to her sister in this picture, but I can vouch that the girls were having a lot of fun when this picture was taken.  No tears were shed during the taking of this picture! 

We woke up one morning and it was raining (drizzling) outside.  Addy got her umbrella and rain boots and headed outside.  Carly unfortunately has neither, but she was still able to go outside and play.  (I know, being the second child is tough!)   Here are some pics of the girls playing in the rain!  (Actually, the sprinklers were on too, so it wasn't raining very hard at all, but any chance Addy has to play outside with her umbrella, she'll take it.)

 This was the face we got when we told Addy it was time to go back inside! 

And, just another cute shot of the girls!

Finally legal

We finally got Addyson a helmet for her bicycle.  So here she is, again, riding her bike. 

A cute pic...

Here is Carly trying on her sister's helmet.  I know what you are thinking...cool outfit Carly!  If you guessed 70's, you were right.  This was Jill's outfit when she was a little girl!  

 Carly was distraught when her cart flipped over.  She worked diligently until she got it upright again. 

The leaves are falling!

Papa was kind enough to rake up a pile of leaves so the girls could play in them.  They had so much fun!!!  Every time we went outside, they would head straight to the pile of leaves. 

Happy Birthday GiGi!

Here's some video of GiGi blowing out her birthday candles.

Princess Addy and Princess Carly

Some cute pictures of our little princesses!

Lil Miss Sunshine

Daddy dressed Carly in this great outfit one morning and to our surprise, she left the hood on for hours.  This is our child who will not wear a hat or keep a bow/barrett in her hair.  Either way, it's too cute!  In the first pic, she's checking herself out in a mirror. 

 A cute pic of big sis!

 Addy still loves her bike... 

 ...and her scooter. 

Carly thinks she is as big as her sister.  Whatever Addy does, Carly wants to try also.  

 Thank goodness she is happy just pushing the scooter.

Reading in the morning

I woke up one morning to the sound of my girls chatting.  I went in to find this...Addy had filled Carly's crib with books and Carly was diligently reading them.  Addy had also gotten her own stack of books and was sitting on the floor reading.  Life is good! 

Valentine's Day

We had a busy Valentine's this year.  To start, Addy and I made cupcakes (pink cake AND pink icing at Addy's request).  It was tons of fun! 

Addy and Jeff went to their first Daddy-Daughter Dance.  It was so cute and she was so excited.  Isn't she just so beautiful!  They had dinner at Chick-fil-a before attending the dance.  Carly was devastated when they left without her, but we had a fun night at home, once she got over being left behind. 

 

 Here is a cute clip of Addy and Carly before they left. 

Addy's dance class happened to fall on Valentine's day, so she wanted to dress the part.  Here are a couple of cute pics of the girls before leaving for class.  In this first pic, they are practicing their forward roles together.
