Little Ballerinas

Little Gardeners

My parents' moved their rose garden up closer to the house and they had two great little helpers!  Thankfully my parents are very patient with their granddaughters, because they really had a great time digging in the dirt. 

All cleaned up and ready for bed!

So I think this is just too cute.  Addy put glasses on her baby doll and put a book in the stroller for her to read.  

Carly loves this hat.  She puts it on and wears it around any time she finds it.  

The girls love for Jeff to draw hopscotch on the driveway so they can 'hop' thru it. 

A cute little clip of the girls crashing their cars together. 

Easter 2012

We had a wonderful Easter this year.  Here are some pics of the day.  Addy loves to hunt Easter eggs...it has become a year-round activity in our house.  Carly had fun, too, but she is not quite as enthusiastic about it just yet.  She was more interested in the candy she found in her Easter basket. 

Here is the family enjoying some Easter eggs after the big hunt.  I am not sure how I managed to take pictures of each of my family members with their mouths wide open, but I could not resist sharing!   

M-I-C-K-E-Y M-O-U-S-E

Here is a cute video of Carly playing Peek-A-Boo...

Here is a cute video of Addy singing one of her favorite songs!

And a cute pic of Addy...

Spring time

Life is in full swing.  Carly has taken to climbing on EVERYTHING, so she keeps us very busy.  The other day, I went in to put something in the bedroom, came back and Carly was on the table...on the table!  She had never even climbed up in a chair, let alone up on the table! 

On another note, we've gotten some pretty good pics of the girls this spring.

Here is Carly standing on the bench, despite my 'encouragement' to sit on the bench. 

Doesn't this photo just say it all...

Carly loves her some Gi...

...and some Papa.  

I LOVE these next photos (not that I don't love them all).  

More ballerina photos... I just cannot take enough of them =)

...and now Addy is ready for some fun in the sun!  

More dance class

So here are some videos to go with the pictures from the previous post.  Once again, I tried to narrow it down, but I've decided to post them all!  They are just too cute.  It might be overkill, but I hope you enjoy them.  As I said before, most of the sessions are closed.  When we first started in this class, I was a little upset that we didn't get to watch each week, but after watching for the first time, I understood.  Addy's teacher is a saint!  Imagine 12 or so 2-4 year olds in a room together and being responsible for them actually reaching a common goal.  Then throw in the parents viewing thru the window.  As you can see from the following videos, it is quite challenging...but oh so adorable!!!

By the way, the sound effects for the videos are provided by Carly!!!

These last two are just quick clips of Addy galloping and skipping, skills she has learned and practiced each week in her class. Pretty cool!

Whew...all done!  That took a while. Enjoy =)

Dance

Once a month the blinds go up and we are allowed to view Addy's dance class...the rest of the time, the sessions are closed.  I finally brought my camera along so I could get some pics.  They aren't great, as I took them through the glass, but all the while, so adorable!
