Raeleigh wrapped Addi up like a sausage!

I love the way they are looking at each other.  Sisters make awesome friends.

Addi thought it was so funny to be all wrapped up.

I took this picture after the Stuart & Raeleigh's Honors Chorus.  Addi held hands with Stuart and Jordan all the way to the truck.  It was so cute!

Addi went to Morgan's room and found her heels.  I think it is so funny that she got one shoe from two different pairs!  Addi was so happy to be walking in the shoes, just look at that smile!!

Addi and I need to leave the house and she wasn't dressed.  So I chose a denium skirt and the shirt in the picture.  Addi refused the skirt, so I had her get a different pair of shorts. The flowered shorts were her choice.  You can tell for the smile that Addi knows she looks great!

Addi loves to climb on the step stool (which is also her dinner chair).  She thinks that it is so funny to climb up the back when someone is sitting on the stool.  Stuart was the lucky one this time!

So the kids had coupons for free food from Chick-fil-A. So I took them. We got $14.13 worth of free food - Love it!! I like that our local Chick-fil-A has fresh flowers at their tables.

Raeleigh, Samantha and I played a games of Yatzee. Jordan and Stuart watched Addi in the play area.

This is Addi looking out of the tire of the Cow Mobile that is in the second story of the play area. She had so much fun. This was a great hour spent with my kids.

This morning Clifford the Big Red Dog was visiting the kids elementary school. So Addi and I went to see him as well. Addi was a little nervous, but she didn't cry. The smile on Addi's face tells the story! Stuart was funny when it was his turn to take a picture. He doesn't like pictures, notice his eyes.

I think it is funny that the American Flag looks like it is sticking out of Clifford's head! It was fun to see Clifford the Big Red Dog!

A family day is always a great day for pictures. These pictures were taken at the Gamble Mansion. Craig and the kids, it took quite a while to get everyone balanced on the log.This huge cast iron bowl was used in a sugarmill. We had a great time playing in it. I rocked Samantha back and forth until I was laughing so much I couldn't stand up!

That is a lot of people in one bowl. We did tip the bowl backwards!

There were these log benches by the picnic area, the kids had lots of fun trying to knock each other off.

This is a funny picture. Samantha and Jordan on cell phones. Craig and I reading brochures. Stuart and Addi playing hand games.

Monday evening we went to Casperson Beach as a family. We had a great time. Samantha took pictures of Craig and I. It is nice to be in a picture, rather than just the one taking the pictures!!

Addi was cold most of the time we were there. She did not like the water.

Jordan, Samantha, Stuart, and Raeleigh had a great time in the water. There were lots of smiles. It was a great evening with our family.

The kids playing Monopoly on Sunday evening. They like to play games with each other. However they are very competitive, so they rarely finish a game. Usually the game ends is grumpiness.

Curbs. Addi loves to walk on curbs. Anywhere we see curbs, she likes to walk on them, it makes her happy and giggly.

The best part of the weekend with the NJROTC was when Craig and Addi suprized me at Busch Gardens. They joined me for a day of fun. Craig called to say they were there and I met up with them at the entrace gate!

Right before I got on the bus with the cadets, Craig, Addi and I shared this waffle. It was so yummy. Craig is an awesome husband I am so glad he and Addi came and spent the day with me.

This stool came from Craig's Nanny's house. Addison loves it. She calls it her "sit". Addi carries it around to whever she wants to sit. I often find myself nervous that she is going to set it on my toe!

Addi and I took a picture walk along the Peace River. This Egret was interesting to watch. It made me sad to see the plastic cups and trash in the river.

We also spent much time watching this bird. I love the reflection in the water. This walk was refreshing and beautiful.

Craig loves these shoes. He has wanted to buy some for Addi for at least a year. He finally found some on sale. I know they are cute. However, I do not like that they leave glitter everywhere. Addi loves to wear them lots!

Addi discovered her valentine chocolates before dinner!

Years ago I started having a family valentines dinner. This year we did it two days early, because I will not be home on Valentine's Day. I love to get out our valentine dishes and set the table pretty. Usually I put conversation hearts all over the table . This year I just did a box or bag of chocolate by each dinner plate. The missionaries were also here for the dinner. It was a nice meal.

Addi and I have been to Walmart 3 times this week. Each time she has been excited about this catipiller. She wanted to touch and hold the "bubbie" (that is what she calls all stuffed animals).

It was hard work for Addi to hold up her bubbie for this picture!

So happy to go "nite-nite" with her bubbie. Look at that bright smile :-)

Patrick came over on Sunday for dinner and his birthday cake! Happy 19th birthday :-) Addison gets so excited to see Patrick. Before dinner she sat on his lap. In this picture they are looking at Patrick's phone. It was fun to watch them smile and laugh with each other.

Apparently it take two people to light 19 candles!

This is the chocolate curl bow from the cake. The bow was right in the center and the rest of the cake was covered with the smaller curls.

This is the closest picture I got to Patrick showing happy expression. He does not like when I have my camera out.
