Mowin' and Music Monday

Here are some pictures from this weekend. Glade and Addison helped Tim mow the back yard.

Sunday after church while I was cooking lunch, Addison put on a show in front of the oven. I love it! Don't forget to go to the bottom of the page and turn the music off! You have to here my baby girl sing!

Fun in the mudbox!

Yesterday Glade and Addison enjoyed the cool weather to play in our mud sandbox.  I was getting dinner cooked while they played outside.  There was lots of talking and laughing.  I love the interaction of these two.  They truly are best friends!  It is so much fun to see them playing together.  Most of the time they play well together.  Sometimes though, it seems like war!

Glade, did you eat sand?

Maybe...but look at how cute I am mommy!  I'll even say cheese.

This is what normally happens when we try to take Glade's picture these days!

I have more pictures from our weekend at Grammy and Pappy's but I have to get the camera out of the car.  I also have to makes sure my parents bring their camera so I can get some from them too.  Our little camera "exhausted battery" in the middle of our trip to the pumpkin patch in Marble Falls.  So, Mom, if you read this before you leave tomorrow...bring Glade's jacket and your camera!  Please?!?!

It's become a ritual on Saturday mornings...the kids climb in our bed for some cartoons!

Glade and his cookie.  He was sucking the green frosting off!

Here's Addison with hers.  Much cleaner than Glade, but she did manage to get some orange frosting in her nose!

No she wasn't in a fight.  Her poor little eye had pink eye!  We were at the dr to find out she did in fact also have an ear infection.

I am training my kids early...to addicted to Sonic!  Addison loves her Sloshie!

Glade does too!

Glade just relaxing on the bean bag,with his feet propped up!

Loving the tutu!  GO BUCKS!

Even Glade needed a turn!

Oh, Glade!

This picture sums Glade up pretty good.  He has a sweet tooth!  He loves him some cookies!  He takes after his Pappy and his namesake.  From what I hear Grandpa Reeder was a big eater.  These days Glade loves candy and cookies and pretty much anything sweet.  He had no interest in going on the potty until he figured out there were m&m's involved.  You should have seem sit on that potty and try so hard to just get a little bit out!  He's doing really good at it.  Not making it to the potty all the time, but from what I hear boys are hard to train.  He seems to get the concept, but just not the timing of it all.  We'll keep working.

Lately Glade has been the tester of all things.  You know the look of- I know you said no, but just how far can I go before you really do something.  That's Glade, unless he's alseep.  He's curious and smart.  He loves tools.  He likes to "help" whenever Tim is doing a project.  In fact we may be asking Santa to bring Glade his own cordless drill for Christmas.  Glade is definitely all boy.  If there is a ball somewhere he will find it.  I have been taking them to the kids club at the gym and everytime I go pick him up he's found the ball.  He loves it. And I have to say he's really good at it.  He can kick a football, hit a baseball and make a basket...sometimes better than me. (That's not saying much, but he's only two and half!)

I love that Glade likes to cuddle.  He'll come snuggle up in the chair or on the couch. 

He's not as much of a talker as Addison, but he tries.  Sometimes he rattles off in a language we don't understand.  Or he'll say something in a really high pitched voice!  But sometimes when he says things, you just can't help but laugh.  The other day it was time to go take a bath and I was trying to get Glade to walk upstairs.  I said earlier he's testing everything...I had to give him pop because he just wouldn't do what I asked.  Without missing a beat he said "you're killing me!"  Where do they learn these things?  I couldn't stop myself from laughing!

I am so blessed to have such sweet kids.  I can't imagine my laugh without them!

My Sweet Girl!

This was taken with a lot of pictures a while back.  It was actually at my niece and nephews birthday party.  I just thought it was so cute.  Lately she has had her hands in her mouth all the time!  She's still trying to cut her molars.

 

Just a few things I love about Addison:

She tells you how it is.  Whether she's telling us to stop, or telling Glade "no sir".  She says it all.  Just the last few days she's been giving Tim and I big hugs and says "I love you so much!"  It just melts my heart. 

The last few months she has seen me cry not so much recently but right after we lost Ethan it was a lot.  She'll come rub my back and say "mommy sad." I'll say yes, then she puts her hands on her head and says "I sad too!"

I love that she can wake up every morning with a smile  on her face.  She doesn't get that from me and I really don't think she gets it from Tim, but it's still refreshing to see her excitement for a new day.  Addison loves to color.  She can sing Jesus Loves Me.  She sang it while we were shopping in Wal-Mart just the other day.  She likes to jump and run.  Before doing anything she will swing her arms and say "Watch me go."  She loves to talk on the phone.  She will call Pappy, Grammy, Daddy and Niece at least once a day.  She listens and those are the people I call most often!  I love that she likes to snugger (snuggle) before going to bed each night.  She has started saying prayers too.  She says "God, thank you" and then she will start naming people over and over and over.  One night we prayed for KK and Ben at least 10 times!

My sweet girl has such a sweet spirit!  She keeps us laughing!
