The unofficial beginning of summer!

Adam broke in the warm weather with Margaritas...right out of the bottle!! We've been having a great time enjoying the warm sunny weather...now, if only WI could get out of the 40's, and the sun could shine in PA..... But I guess all is fair since we've been spending lots of time in the tornado basement...!

Annabelle and Tyler at Forest Park

Annabelle and friends playing, climbing, splashing....just having fun!

(she's showing a little much in the suit!)

Rex was giving her hugs!

love her!

kids....not babies:(

We had dinner over a friend/nieghbors the other week-- it was Annabelle's First "Kids Table" had to take a picture!

Annabelle, Ellie & Tyler having lunch

First trip of 2011 to City Garden...same bathing suit...still fits...guess the tag should say 3-20 months...I bet they'd sell a lot more....she's not THAT little...

Earlier last week we watched our friend Adela for the day...they look like sisters!

They had such a great time that Adam and I want to know how to get a 2 year old!

lunch time
calling each other on the phone!

the girls!

Our first trip to the Pool today (5.29.11) it was AWESOME

New pictures....FINALLY!!

xoxox

Ice Cream Sandwiches!

We gave Annabelle her first ice-cream sandwich and she loved it!!

Messy!!!

Mother's Day smiles!

This morning I let Annabelle veg out infront of the TV while the rain started...!

More Spring time fun!

Sunday Night Polka Party! The three of us had another Polka Party...listening to Lawrence Welk, eating popcorn...good times, good times...

Yesterday we had a "Paint in the Park" Playdate with a bunch of our friends, then afterwards Annabelle and I had a picnic lunch...she's SUCH a kid now!!

Annabelle ran away to the other side of the fence...then thought it was funny that I couldn't reach her!

One of our side projects was to build tomato trellises...Annabelle and I made these from scratch...powertools and all!! Fun fun...now these tomatos better GROW! We also finally made a garden area for the peppers and zuchhini...now May, could you send some sun our way!?

An Early Mother's Day!

Since there is a game next Sunday, Adam surprised me with our 2nd annual Mother's Day Brunch at the Ritz....as a girly-girl who really likes fancy things, I couldn't be happier!! Here are some pictures of the day.... and one of Annabelle as a "city girl".

New Room...almost done!

Annabelle's "big-girl" room is almost done!! Last night she *finally* slept through the night...from 9pm-5:45am, then back asleep til 7:15am!! Whoo hoooo. Hopefully this will keep up!

Here are some photos of the room!

Playing with her new favorite...alphabet books..

Her dad dressed her today! We REALLY need spring/summer to get here quickly...we have outgrown our cold-weather clothes and think it's silly to purchase anything new since we have a fully stocked spring/summer wardrobe....she's looked a little homeless for the last few weeks!

xoxoxo

Even though we have colds, we still have fun!

Our colds are sloooowly going away...Adam sneezed twice last night, hope we didn't pass it onto him..... Well, we've been cooped up a bit with all of the rain, and too gross to go out in public so we've made our own fun indoors!

Yesterday Annabelle wanted bunnies....the whole bag of them. Notice the giant pile on the carpet...

Since we had a bit of Cabin Fever, we went and visited Adam at work. Annabelle had a blast playing in the training room, then we all took a dip in the pool. What a life this little girl has....

working on her core strength with her slave-driving coach


showing off her moves

taking a break

break's over...back to work

she can be very productive...I think she deserves a raise

swimming! Annabelle had a blast. We'll have to keep this in mind for the bitter cold of winter! The hot tub afterwords was extremely relaxing....hard to explain to an 19 month old that she can't go in!!

When Adam threw our towels in the wash...this was just sitting in a corner on a desk next to a sewing machine and laminator.... just Albert's Gold Glove award...that's all......

Up next....pictures of Annabelle's *finished* big-girl room!!

My oh my...

Well, it's been an eventful few weeks...all hours of the day! Our little lady has turned into a super hero who doesn't need sleep....We're going on week 3 (I believe). The poor thing has a cold now as well...so please, wish us luck!!

Here are a bunch of photos from the last few weeks!
