Another Beautiful Day

Another gorgeous Sarasota weather day on Sunday! We took advantage and went to the playground again! This was Addison's 3rd playground day in a row. We were here with some friends on Friday afternoon (didn't take pictures, sorry).

Chatting away while swinging. She never stops talking... I LOVE IT!!
We took Great Grandma to the playground with us. It was such a pretty day and Addison loved that she was there watching.
Here's Addison on the little girl swing.

And here she is on the BIG girl swing!

Video of Addison swinging.

Addison often says "Mommy I a good climber". Here she is climbing all by herself at the playground.

Addison joined us for a picture.

What a Beautiful Day!

It was a perfect day for a bridge walk, playground, then picnic!! Here are some pics and videos of the fun time we had!

Peek a Boo Daddy!

Addison worked up an appetite!

We had a nice picnic under the trees. Then Addison and Daddy chased each other.

Lots of new videos

Addison loves playing her "drum". It's a cake plate from one of her toys and 2 plastic swizzle sticks. Here she is playing for Curious George.

This was Friday afternoon when she woke up from her nap. We were going to meet her friends Gabby and Annika at the playground. Can you tell how excited she is? She frequently makes up her own songs... here's one of them about the playground... OH YEAH!


Saturday morning chatting on the phone with Flounder (the fish from Ariel, The Little Mermaid). Before we started taping, she asked him if he was swimming with his fish friends today.

This time she called the playground. She knew we were going there today, so she decided to make a phone call.

My Best Friend

On the way over to Bobby, Kelly and Taylor's house on Sunday afternoon, Addison told us that Taylor is her best friend. She has often told us that Taylor is her "best girl" but this time, she said, "Mommy, Taylor my best friend". It was so cute and I wish I had that on video. Here they are having lots of fun together!! Isabella has one of these and Addison loves watching the fish- especially when "Nemo" swims by. Funny she loves Nemo- although she's never seen the movie!
Eating a delicious dinner- thanks Uncle Bobby and Aunt Kelly!

Watching the National Anthem. It was so great.

Priceless videos

Tuesday night it was raining very hard and very windy on our way home. Addison had her hoodie on in the car so she wouldn't get wet!

Go Seminoles!

I've been trying to post this video for days! Here it finally is...

Basketball with Daddy

Watching Seminole basketball with Daddy. Eating a lollipop for being such a good girl!

Chilly Playground Today

We took Addison to the playground today. Temp in the 50's with the wind blowing 20-30 mph, we didn't last long. She would've stayed longer, but we were too chilly! Here are some pictures from this morning.

It was so windy she could've blown off of Clifford!!

She did pretty good at this. This was a first with us, maybe she does it with Grammie and Papa. I stayed close behind her, but she climbed up pretty well by herself!

Here's a video for Isabella to watch of her sliding down. I think we confused her when we said say hi to Isabella. That seemed to throw her off- you can tell she's thinking about what's going on.

Gymnastics and More!!

Last Friday we had Grammie, Papa and Great Grandma over for dinner.

Great Grandma mentioned drums, so Addison figured out a way to create her own drum. She loves to play on her drum and sing songs!
We celebrated Uncle Joe's 70th Birthday on Saturday evening. We had a great time seeing lots of family.

Here are some of the 25 kids that were there.

Owen, Kara and Addison

We forgot to wipe Addison's face after dinner... can you tell she had red sauce?

Two dancing cuties! Provided entertainment during football commercials.

Addison loved going up stairs. There were lots of fun toys to play with and of course kids were everywhere! They have 2 staircases, so she could never decide which ones she wanted to go up!

Jumping on an air mattress.

On Sunday, Addison made a truck with her legos. She has a boy, farmer, pig and dog riding on her truck.

We go to gymnastics every Thursday with Taylor (Addison's "best girl"). Today we had lunch at Chick Fil A before we went. The girls are so cute together. They laughed constantly while eating lunch today. They had an audience during class today- Taylor's Grandma Kathie was there, as well as Grammie and Papa!! They were all impressed with how well the girls did and of course how CUTE it was to watch them have so much fun. I didn't get many pictures, just some at the end during their open play time.

Addison's teacher said "Elmo came to gymnastics today". Addison looked at me and said "Mommy, where's Elmo?!" She forgot she was wearing him on her shirt :-)

You can see the trampoline in the background- it's a long tumbling track trampoline. This is where both girls spend most of their time during open play.

Singing the good bye song with their teacher, Ms. Carolyn.

They are both patting along with Ms. Carolyn.

Snowflake stickers today!
