...Winter is Upon Us II


Here's the second push of picks...


Addyson: who's out there watching?

A girl and her inflatable dinosaur...




 Put me in coach...

They're so cute togehter...here, ready for church.


Addyson spies the camera as she gives me a kiss...


Our Addyson...


Nothing says fund like dragging the girls on a sled through the area behind our house in the cold...
But they really enjoyed it...


Happy Princesses...
Amelia...making a fashion statement...



Again, before church...



Almost looks like a full up conversation there...

Blondy...


Cutie...


Princesses playing with their 'little people'...


Amelia...sucking up to Kim.

Kim and Amelia clapping for the arrival of the penguins at the acquarium.
Yes...the first 'official' haircut for Addyson.



This could be referred to as the calm before the storm...

Addyson was scared [so was I]...look at teh tatoo on that woman's wrist.  There's no way this is going to be fun!


"She's touching me!"


Meanwhile...while the drama goes on in the background, Amelia hops in the chair next to Addyson.


Balloons can fix most any situation with Addyson.  In this case the balloon plus Blues Clues hit the spot.


Clip, clip, clip....


Amelia's turn...very easy.


Here we go...clip, clip, clip.


Hmmm....should we even these out?


A very, very, very relieved Addyson.


Trim, trim, trim, trim...


Yeee-ha!


She's fine...Addyson explores in the background.



Nice and even...


Addyson...made it to the top!


Yes, the train at the mall.  you to can ride the train through the mall as other adults look on as you ride with your Princesses.


Here they are...




At this point they're ready to go...


These are out of sequence...this was when the girls discovered the train and then...

...starting climbing in.



Nice hair...


Nice smile...and project from church.
Addyson...eats a cookie on the white leather couches --- ugh.




Look at the hair...ncie and straight grandma's!!!!


That's all folks! More this week!!!

Winter is Upon Us...

Okay...we're back again.  It's been a challenging week, not to mention I've attempted loading these pics about ten times...having 'blog' issues.  That said, Kim and I have considered burning our germ ridden home to the ground several times over the past couple days, as everyone has taken turns to various extreme getting sick.  Alas...here are the pics, some from Christmas that we 'found' the elecrons for --- enjoy, it was devilishly hard to get them posted! 

Nothing says adorable like Addyson with her whote hat looking over her glasses at you...
...or Amelia bundled for the snow and cold.


Addyson Amelia stayed a couple extra days courtesy of Frontier Airlines [and some bad luck as it were].  Here's Amelia with Grandpa Checketts and one of her signature projects.


Addyson outside...like clouds in the sky.


Amelia likes getting out...but not like her big 'sis.


Amelia...and yet another project.


A little unwrapping from Christmas...


More unwrapping from Christmas...see the concentration in those faces?


Reminds me of a pic I posted way back when while we were living in North Carolina and Addyson was in a box on our kitchen counter...
Amelia...always directing trafic, applies chapstick to grandma Checketts.


Mmmmmm....aaaahhhh!!!
Amelia: who is this 'little' boy who's 6-months younger than me and is bigger tahn Addyson?  Must be Jett...


A girl and her baby...


Story time on Christmas...it's Dinosaur vs the Potty!


Amelia really liked it...


Addyson liked seeing Shayla...


Going to work on the baby...


One olive...



Oops...can't get it off.

That look...yes, that one --- that's the up to no good look.


Sleepy Addyson...giving Kim a pinch.
 


Here's looking at you mommy!

Okay....I wasn't here for this shot.  Not good...


Amelia...chilling with one her little friends.


Hmmmm....



Addyson likes to take the camera and have us take pics of her or the characters on the TV...
Ryan swinging Addyson...note: Amelia is mimicking the swinging motion in the background.



Think she's having fun?


Addyson...there's snow outside.  Do you want to go outside?



...and she's off!
Quite the little ham....


Batter up!


They are sooooo cute...


Addyson's gloves, my shirt, and Kim's socks...


Amelia 'teaches' grandpa Checketts how to setup the dominos...



There's always birthday cake, hats and party gear at grandma Checketts' house...



Back in sequence with the pics...Amelia's really in deep!

Time to make a snow ball....


Amelia carrys around her snowball as Addyson, in the background, does a little yard work.


Okay...I'm ready to go in.


My little worker...


When politicians say shovel ready...I think of Addyson.  Always ready to pitch in.


The up to no good look...


Playing in the snow...


Bouncy time!




It's a team effort to get up the slide...

Amelia's in mid air here....



Alright...another round of pics coming---again, enjoy.
