Addie feeding a giraffe!!

Sophia feeding a giraffe!!

The giraffes close up. Cool!

Yet another camel ride, this makes camel ride 157!


At the new Komodo Dragon exhibit, watch out folks, they are dangerous.

St Theresa Fall Festival 2009

Addie is a true thrill seeker!!! She is the only shortie on the ride.

Even sliding with Dad can become a competition!!


The only time I will ever get on a Ferris Wheel is if Addie asks me to! Hate those things.

M.A.S.H. Station! Wounded in battle during a hard day at play!! (It's fake but she had fun telling people that she had fallen off the Ferris Wheel.)

Halloween 2009

Our home, Addie is caught in a spider web. JT is wearing Addie's first Halloween costume and Addie dropped the idea of being a Princess (she had been a Princess 3 years running) and went for being a cat this year.

G&G and JT at our Halloween Block Party!

Grandma Linda and Addie making carmel apples, YUM!

Too Cute!

I went back to Kindergarten for a day! FUN!!

I volunteered at Addie's school for Apple Day, to celebrate Johnny Appleseed's Birthday. It was a lot of fun and I got to meet all the kids in her class.

This is Addie and Jake or Jakie (as he likes to be called). Addie pretends to marry him at recess and it always ends up with her chasing him around.

These are the other kids she will play with at recess time. All of which are at least 5 inches shorter than her.

Here she is getting embarrassed because I am taking so many pictures. Oh well. She will have to get used that, I plan to embarrass her a lot over the years to come.

Addie had a baby picture of her in a laundry basket so we figured we had to have one of JT in it too. Just to be fair. And for future black mail purposes.

Addie at the park on Labor Day Weekend 2009

Ready to celebrate Cassie's Birthday - 8/2009

This is an older picture, sorry about the back and forth on some of these posts but I go back and find things afterwards that I want to put up. I like this one very much. Jt sits up so well on his own and Addie is a great big sister, always making her brother laugh.

Addie & JT in the Noodle Forest at the Childrens Museum - Labor Day Weekend

Silly video, it was not very well thought in advance of taking the video.

Our Beautiful Children - 9/07/09

JT wants to crawl so badly, but he lunges at things instead. Addie really enjoys being a big sister, most of the time. Addison has completed her Kindergarten reading books through Hooked On Phonics and is now starting on the First Grade reading books. We are so proud of our kiddos and blessed to have such amazing gifts in our life. And you all are included in our gifts as well. We are so lucky to have such good friends and family around us. Love you all, enjoy the pictures and videos posted below.

Pictures of us at the Childrens Museum Labor Day Weekend - 2009

Sean and JT pretend to be bored in one of the above pictures, seriously they are pretending. Funny!

Pizza & Ice Cream at the Childrens Museum

Notes about these pictures: You can see JT's 4 teeth in one of the above pictures, Addie serves up some ice cream and later some pizza and JT shows off his chubby legs.

JT takes a fall trying to get mobile...

He does not crawl, he does not walk but he tries to reach beyond his capability. And that makes things interesting! He falls down trying to get moving, he has been doing that a lot lately, he wants to go somewhere really badly.

Playtime in the baby room at the Childrens Museum

In the discovery process comes...well, more discovery!

JT & the Air Vent at the Childrens Museum

At the Childrens Museum there is a baby room and it has several things but this is funny because they have an air vent on the floor and he reacts in a way that we think is very entertaining. JT is now 7 months old, man time goes by quickly!! Hard to believe!!

Addie serves up some Ice Cream - Childrens Museum

Addie serves us up some ice cream on a hot labor day weekend, all the while holding her chihuahua.

The Twins

This is a picture from the time around Mother's Day this year but I liked it and wanted to put it up anyway. You can tell it is an old one becasue Addie still has long hair in it.

JT & The Giraffe

JT & The Giraffe - He loves his sqweaky toy. This video was taken 8-20-09 after he ate and after his bath...happy time!!

Old Video - Sticking their tongues out!

JT is about 4.5 months old in this one and he is playing with Addie in his new jumper. They are sticking their tongues out each other and he is pulling her hair. Enjoy!!

Funny Video of John Thomas

The first minute and a half of this video is slow but it gets funny after that, please enjoy!!
