New pictures....finally!!

We've had lots of visitors but sadly, not many pictures! I managed to snap a few while gammy and pop-pop where in town.... Earlier in the month G&G Ole came to visit, so annabelle's been SPOILED with carosel rides, hugs and kisses!!

Gammy and Annabelle at the zoo

more zoo fun

showing pop-pop her new sun glasses and beautiful bracelet she made with Grandma Mary!

haha

Lots of fun new stuff to play with!!

In her big girl underpants!

(I assume this picture is identical to Adam as a little kid!)

Dancing in underpants!

laying with Maddie on the patio

we're in a "no clothes" phase!

Gym class in her "dancing skirt"

Like a kitty....she climbs in boxes!

Not the best pictures...but at least it's something!!

Adam...bootlegged;)

So, it amazes me with ALL the advancements in technology...the best way I'm able to share Adam's MLB Network segment is through holding a video camera at the tv in my living room....bootleg....really? Am I missing something here?!!

I'm amazed that after 5 hours of filming & interviewing what aired is a 5 minute uplifting and light segment....Although it's not the hard hitting, indepth piece we were hoping for, I couldn't be more proud of my amazing, smart, funny and handsome husband!! Hopefully it will leave viewers wanting more and they'll demand it!!

lots and lots and lots of pictures!

Here are a ton of pictures from the last couple of days! Annabelle has had a wonderful week with friends! It is so nice and so hot outside...long gone are the days of snow and cabin fever!

Painting with friends in the backyard!

Adi taking a break in the wagon!

Inchworms class at the Y!

"jumpa jumpa jumpa" as Annabelle says!

Just like a monkey!

weeeeee

On Friday Adam and I went out to dinner and a concert with friends...it was SO fun!

Eddie Vedder! We had awesome seats! First row behind the orchestra pit!

Opening presents from G&G Ole!

We really love our backyard...so does Annabelle! All that hard work paid off...it's so nice to spend lots of time outside in the shade!

Building sandcastles

The new outdoor furntiture that was supposed to be for the 3rd floor deck....we love it too much to put it up there.... Still can't BELIEVE the steal...$106 for all of it...the reciept said, total savings "$365"-- a..m.a.z.i.n.g.

Annabelle and I reading books this morning

Apparently we were really into this one!

Maddie resting

Adams picture of a bumblebee!

Sliding fun

On her tiptoes looking in Daddy's coffee....I just love her little itty bitty calf muscles...cutest things I've ever seen!

Annabelle and Daddy "ahhhhh"

"riding" her bike

Bug Ears!

A picture Janice took at Taylors 2nd Birthday at the Zoo... Annabelle sporting her bug ears! 😊

"No Hitting"

Teresa had uploaded pictures from Rex's party (description below)

Here is Annabelle refusing to hit Mickey....she's such a kind soul!

Getting bigger every day!

Ha...I was folding laundry and Annabelle put on a dress... i.e. my t-shirt! Notice the giant bruise on her forehead....we were leaving the field last week and DOWN she went, right onto the concrete...poor baby. We ran right back into the training room and Adam laid her down and fixed her up. She was most excited about picking out a treat from the snack room for her ride home!

This is a big day for me....Annabelle's first soccer ball & goal!

She shoot...she SCORES!

Taking a break after all of that hard work.

When we're laying in these chairs, she comes around to the bottom and says:

"Daddy, ahhhhhhh"

(as in a loud, relaxing, ahhhhhh)

"Mommy, ahhhhhhhh"

Then tilts the chairs back!

This was "Annabelle Ahhhhhhh"!

Practice, practice!

I LOVE IT, and already have dreams of soccer tournament weekends, traveling all around the country and taking her to Europe to play!

Aside from babies and marriage, my soccer days were the best days of my life!! And, although I've thanked them a million times for all of the sacrafices they made for me, THANK YOU MOM AND DAD! I loved every second of every soccer trip!!!

Taylor's Birthday Party at the zoo!

We had a busy Saturday...birthday party at the zoo in the morning, and a birthday party at Rex's house in the evening! It was a fun-filled day!

Here's Annabelle petting the turtle at the zoo!

I don't have any pictures from Rex's, but I can tell you, there was a Mickey pinatta, and Annabelle was NOT too pleased with it. She could not understand why people were beating Mickey Mouse:(

Magic House fun yesterday!

While Adam was at the game yesterday, Annabelle and I took a to the Magic House!

She had a BLAST...as always!

She was super excited about the Alice in Wonderland exhibit. Currrently that's one of her favorite bedtime books and she totally freaked out when she saw Alice everywhere!!

She calls in "Alison" instead of "Alice in".

Letters.....

She went NUTS, running up and down screaming out each letter and opening the doors...I was one proud mom, she knows all 26 of them!

Update:

11:45 pm:

Just got a text from Adam:

"Is it ok if I have a drink with Mike McCarthy?"

For fun part of me wanted to reply with something like:

"But I just rented the notebook and thought we could watch it".....

Pretty sure he's about to have one incredible night tonight!!!

Can't wait to hear all about it!!!!
