Happy Sunday!

What a beautiful spring Sunday afternoon!  A little chilly, and a bit breezy, but nice and sunny just the same.  Here's my attempt and a few "sisters" pictures.  I have very few pictures of the girls together, actually I have lots of pictures of them together, they just aren't worth keeping -they are awful!  I am very happy with these, and even still, as many as I took, I have ONE decent one of them looking at the camera at the same time.  Oh well, they were having fun and it shows.

I LOVE their coordinating outfits I found on our trip to Kansas City last weekend.  We visited one of the malls to check out the American Girl store (Addison's new favorite store), and found Naartjie a kids clothes store.  I was immediately drawn to these pretty pinks, yellows, and greens, with florals and checks.  You can check out their website here http://www.naartjiekids.com.

Easter Pictures

Here are our Easter pictures, they didn't turn out to bad (thanks Dad!).  Considering what he had to work with he got a couple good ones.  After hours of sewing, I was pretty pleased how everything turned out and had high hopes of a few adorable family pictures in their new coordinating outfits.  Things didn't go well from the start, the weather was not obliging, to cold and windy for an outdoor photo shoot.  We probably should have tried to get the pictures before lunch but as soon as we got to Grandpa and Grandma's  the food smelled to good to wait.  SO, here they are, the girls were in no mood for pictures but these few aren't too bad. 

Picture Update

My baby is getting too big!  Look at those beautiful eyes!  She thinks she should be walking and is not to far from it.  She's attempting steps and working on balance.  Notice big sis in the background?  I do put clothes on her every morning...

For some reason getting AJ to look at the camera is close to impossible so I had to settle with these.  The earrings are her treasure find from Goodwill today, perfect for dress up.  I found a few things to repurpose when I find the time.     

The girls and I had a fun lunch with Aunt Alana today, we can not wait for her and Uncle Vance to move a little closer!

Hope everyone  had a nice Easter.  We went to Grandpa and Grandma Hoagland's and Grandpa and Grandma Schneider joined us.  AJ was a little worn out yesterday from a little over stimulation Sunday, but today is better.

and She's Off...

Addison has been practicing on her bike each day.  She is pretty speedy now, she can steer and stop, so I'd say she's got it down.  She has plenty of space around the house to ride and keep her busy.

We have been enjoying the beautiful weather!  We spent most of yesterday afternoon outside.  I couldn't resist cleaning out my garden area and even mowed the backyard with my mower, my push mower, my old fashioned no gas, push mower (I LOVE it).

Adam worked on his project,

Audrey Anna watched or napped, and AJ was here there and everywhere

Isn't she sweet?
