Bob the Builder meets Addie Blaire!

Becky and I took Addie Blaire and Katie Ella to see Bobo the Builder in Texarkana last week. She really had a great time. As soon as we stepped into the theatre she screamed in excitement! She loved seeing all the kids and fun stuff they had set up. I wasn't sure if she was ready for a program like that yet, but she really surprised me by watching the whole thing and even clapping along. The only hard part was the 2j0 minute intermission which is when we took most of the pictures to pass the time! Now that I know how she did I can't wait for Disney on Ice!

I was actually very impressed with the sets and props. All the tools actually were remote controlled and they moved across the stage, they even had eyes and faces that moved!

Addie Blaire finds the way to Zoe's Heart

We went to church a couple of weeks ago with my parents to watch Sallie get baptized and afterwards my parents took us to eat. Addie Blaire loved the corn on the cob, but her favorite treat to eat with Pop is M&Ms. They bonded over them and she continues to know just where to go to get some M&M's when she wants them!
Okay so our condo if finally finished!!! Yeah, we are back to the spa city. I am really excited to have it back, maybe because making all the decisions was a little stressful for me. However, I am really excited with the way it turned out. I just had to include a picture of the kitchen, I will include more once we get all of our furniture that I have been acquiring over the past several months while it had to be rebuilt.
So the other day I was walking into the kitchen and I noticed that Zoe's bowl had some dog food in it. I thought that was weird because I hadn't given her any lately. Then I noticed Addie Blaire coming out of the pantry with a handful of dog food. She loves going and getting Zoe food and putting it in her bowl. I guess she knows there is no better way to Zoe's heart than food!

Valentine's Day and Griffin's Birthday

We had a very fun Valentine's this year because we got to spend it with our sweet girl. We woke up that morning and let her open her valentine's from mom and dad, then we made some cookies for daddy. That afternoon we went to Griffin's birthday party at his papa's farm. We got to see lots of cows and play in the hay. It was a lot of fun and Addie Blaire had a blast. I couldn't keep up with her, she was all over the place!

Opening her Valentine's present from mom and dad, it was a little stuffed animal, m&m's, and a gorilla that sings. She liked the m&m's best I think!
These are the beautiful brownies we made that were heart shaped for dad. They looked pretty sad, but we had fun making them and they tasted pretty awesome!

All the kids at the party, that Gaines family certainly has lots of kiddos! The three amigos on the other hay are Addie Blaire, Lynnley, and Darby Kate.

She managed to eat off of everyone's plate there, here she is stealing a cheeto from Anneliese. She really made sure to check out all of Griffin's toys because she knows whatever Griffin gets in turn she gets to play with everyday. So she made sure he got hooked up this year with the toys!
Getting to play for the first time in hay, who knew it could be so much fun!
The cool hayride through the field.
