Pa Pa and Mi Mi's Visit

Mi Mi and Pa Pa came to visit and we had a blast! Here are some pictures from the trip. Of course, I didn't take that many pictures....I am going to try to be better!

Mi Mi and Addie in the swing. Mi Mi was singing songs...

Zoo trip. Pa Pa and Addie with the elephants. Addie is showing us his "elephant trunk".
Of course the diggers were WAY more exciting than any of the exhibits.
Pa Pa surprised Addie with an ice cream cone and he was stoked!!!

Averly's Baptism 04-10-11

We had a blessed and special day. Averly did great during the ceremony and let Pastor Walt sprinkle her and walk around showing her off. Addison even did great and sat through the entire 1 hour service. He did eat 4 suckers as a bribe but I'll take what I can get.

We were lucky to have grandparents in town and had a mini celebration after the ceremony.
Averly wearing Patrick's baby ring. She also wore the locket the Uncle Chris got her but I didn't get a chance to take a picture of it.
Ma Ma and Averly.

Mi Mi spent numerous hours getting her dress and bonnet ready for the special occasion. The dress was made by my great great grandmother and was worn by my Great grandmother, Grandmother, Aunt, Mom, Cousin, Myself and now Averly. I can't believe it held up but it made it through without any damage. I did put a onesie under it in case we had a poop explosion. Luckily we didn't!

It was so special that she could share in the tradition.
Our smiley girl.
The four of us!

After the ceremony! Our dear friends Ben, Brittany and Everly showed up to celebrate with us.
Our family!
Check out Addie saying cheese here...it cracks me up.

Pa Paw and She She visit

Pa Paw and She She came to town and as always it was so nice to have them here. The kiddos had a great time.

Looking back, I didn't take very many pictures when all of the family was here. But sometimes it is just nice to enjoy company rather than try to document everything.

Averly and She She
Addison relaxing with his new Thomas blanket. The blanket has become a staple to our morning routine. I must admit that I try to snuggle under it too because it is so soft!
Averly after her bath with She She.
Another after bath moment.
We had to get Addison's picture in the bath too!
She She and Averly enjoying bathtime. Averly LOVES her bath so it is always super fun to have bath time.
Pa Paw and the little darling.
The Calhoon clan. I made several attempts to get this photo and this was the best one. I think She She was the only one that I captured smiling and looking at the camera!

Addie! 04-07-11

I had Addie lay down on the "big" paper and we traced his outline. Pa Paw and Addie then drew in his features and decorated it. It turned out pretty cute.....plus it gave pa paw an excuse to use his artistic side. Not that he needs and excuse (Addison still says Pa Paw every time he sees a grateful dead sticker due to all of pa paw's handy work that comes our way)!!!

Flower Fields 03-31-11

I just realized that I haven't posted in a month....WOW! So, this week I am going to try to play catch up.

I guess it was about a month ago now that we went to the flower fields. We had a great time even though it was about 100 degrees. Poor Averly was frying in her ergo!

The flower fields had a cool little playground, a place to mine for rocks and best of all (at least in Addie's world) was the tractor ride!!!!

Isla on the tractor ride. Could this hat be any cuter???
Addie and Sam with their lemonades.
The crew riding the tractor.
Mining for rocks. The bag of rocks that we took home were really a big hit. Addison played with them for weeks until we finally lost all of them. Boo....
