When it Rains, It Pours.....

Literally! It has been raining almost constantly for a week and a half, so when we finally got a break in the weather Malinda, Brooke, and I loaded up the kids and went to the beach. The girls had a lot of fun playing in the water and chasing sea gulls. On Saturday Ben, Addie, Emory and I went down to the Stadium to watch FSU's Spring game. They had lots of stuff for the kids and Addie got her face painted. Here are some pictures from the beach as well as a few of us in the car after the game.

We're baaaacccckkkk

Seems we've been on a bit of a hiatus these past few months. I'm consistent with the blog for a few weeks then drop off for a few days, which then turn into weeks, and then months. Sorry, I'll try to do better. So without further ado...here are Addie and Emory!

Pictures Around the House

Here are a few pictures that we've taken over the last month or so. Emory is such a little scavenger! The pictures of her on the deck were taken one night while Bailey was over visiting. Addie and Bailey had cupcakes for dessert, and I guess Miss Emory was jealous. After Addie ate the icing off her cupcake (which is usually the only part she eats) Emory came over and stole the bottom half. Before Malinda and I realized what she was doing, she had half the cupcake stuffed in her mouth. She obviously is the opposite of her picky sister who refuses to eat anything! As you can see from her picture at the table, no one is going to force Addie to eat something that she doesn't want too. I said I would never make my children eat things if they didn't like them or make them sit at the table until they tried something. My frustrating attempt to get Addie to try a green bean proved that even if I thought I could wait her out, I was badly mistaken.

Halloween

I forgot to put some pictures on the Blog from Halloween. Addie loved being Snow White, however she didn't feel like having her picture taken so most of these are action shots of the trick or treating. I was going to dress Emory up as a Dwarf (either Sleepy or Grumpy) but I was a slacker and ran out of time, so she is just a cute little stoller rider. We had a lot of fun walking around Uncle T and Aunt Tina's neighborhood with Hannah, GaGa and PaPa (and mommy got a lot of good candy)!

The North Fla Fair comes to Town

Here are some pictures from the Fair a few weeks ago. Addie got on a lot more rides than we thought she would. Her favorite was the Carousel and the big inflatable slide. The video caught the tail end of her battling to make it up to the top of the slide. It was pretty funny (very determined that one is)! There are also some pictures from Bradley's Family Fun Day. Addie had a big time riding the horses. Thankfully she has only asked for a rocking horse for Christmas and not the real thing.
