I am raising a genius or 2!

I love my girls, I love watching how they take on the world! Their take on things, its so fun.
J has been SUPER busy working, actually we both have but since I take the girls to work with me I get to enjoy these moments with them.

The other day we were driving my a house with 2 chimneys, here was the conversation between Jaden and myself:
Mommy why does that house have 2 chimneys?
Why do YOU think Jaden?
Maybe its a duplex?
Yep hun I think you are right about that
Or Maybe they have two fireplaces to keep warm
Yes that could be it as well
Or MAYBE they have ONE to keep warm and ONE for MaRsHmElLoWs!!!!
Yes hunny that MUST be it!

Oh so cute!

Then Addison oh my sweet little baby Addison!!!
I have watched her closely over the past couple of days, orginally I thought she was just taking a little longer to develop some skills such a as talking. UM NO this is not the case. I have watched her and she has figured out to get by in life she only needs three tools of communication.
Of course there is crying, we all know how that works!
Nodding. She gets SOOOOOOOOOO much conversation through nodding her head "yes" or "no" people think its so cute and she gets so much attention for this.
And the most genuis of them all.... the simple often overlooked word "HI".
This is really the only word she uses @ her ripe old age of 15 months (she will say the rare "Daddy") but the USES for this word are ENDLESS!!!!! Let me show you (I have learned from the master aka=Addy!)
-Obviously; someone walks by "Hi" someone leaves "hi" people often think shes saying "bye" and just think THIS is adorable, EVERYONE says "HI" to her knowing she will return the favor.
-She wants a toy someone else has, she walks over to them looks up @ them with her blue blue eyes and says "HI" AS SHES taking the toy, the poor child never saw it coming.
-She hears ME say "Addison LEE" in my motherly voice and she once again looks up @ me and says "HI" as in hi mommy what could I possibly of done to deserve the middle name call?
- Another kid is in her "bubble" (she likes her space!) and she wants them out of her "bubble" shes says "HI HI HI HI HI HI HI" as in Hi-YA! As she bonks them on their head over and over again.
- She sees something she wants to eat "HI" as in hello come hither.
- She is rocking out in the back seat to some tunes on the radio she sings in perfect tune "Hi, HIHI, HHI HI HI" as in music to my hears.
This girl, what am I going to do with her. She is going to get by in life in a very minimalistic approach and a side of charm! ;) - Hum reminds me of a certain Uncle I know! ;)


On another note Kushies (cloth diapers) has a give away to enter comment on THIS blog! GOOD LUCK!

Its sort of like a UFO you dont believe it till you see pictures!

Addy oh Addy. You started walking @ 14 months and then stopped for weeks. Now you think its cool again, I better get a picture before you decide its to much work again! :)



These 2 are so cute together, Jaden really is the best big sister in history!!! She is your biggest cheerleader Addison!

AND my favorite picture of the day

Goofy pictures of my goofy girls!

I must start this off by saying I LOVE MY NEW CANON REBEL!!! Unfortunately its out of commission and even though I always loved our old Canon, taking pics with it makes me realize why I needed my NEW ONE!!!! SOooo I cant wait to have it back, in the mean time just look @ the subjects not the technical side of the photos! THANKS!
Today Jaden went to the dentist, when I asked to see her pearly whites this is what I saw on the other end of the camera.



After Dinner I asked Addy if she liked it, this is what I saw on the other side of the camera!



LOL this picture cracks me up, it was right before Jaden's first motorcycle ride with Jonathan, I guess she was nervous and didn't want me to take a picture. Just F.Y.I. she LOVES it now and NEVER EVER EVER wants to ride in the car again! "Faster Daddy FASTER!"


Talk to you soon! Thanks for stopping by!

On another note, I though with summer here it would be a great time to take my new found love for indoor group cycling to the great outdoors and involve the kids. I WANT to bike to work and back 2 times a week during the summer. So today J and I decided to go for a test run.
We get out the drive way.... turn left and there is a hill as I am going down it I realize, MY BREAKS ARE OUT!!!!! I yell back to J and he says "oh yeah I forgot to reconnect those" well since I have a 60 lbs trailer behind me NOW is a really great time to figure that out!! LOL so we fix that and go about a mile further and J wimps out and gets a flat tire. Its really just funny @ this point. So I tell him to go home and meet me @ Target with the car, we planed on going shopping and getting ice cream @ Cold Stone (hey I burned the cals!)I did preety good if I do say so myself, if I tuned out Addy crying (she hated it) and Jaden saying "Mommy are we there yet" every 2.4 seconds it was a nice ride! All in all it was about a 13 mile ride round trip, a lot of up hills, but some fun down ones as well, and I feel great I was able to make it! So we will be trying to bike to work a couple times a week during the summer! Between that and cloth diapering I really am getting very "crunchy".
Wish me luck!


I told you Addy loves it!!!!

and just for fun... she looks sooooooooooooooooo much like him in this picture!

WOW summer is here?

When did this happen. As I type this I am minutes away from picking up JADEN from her last day of Kindergarten! Its insane. Shes a FIRST GRADER. This year went by so fast. Her school was such a blessing, she learned so many things there. I will post pictures of her with her award when she gets home.

On another note, we have started to use CLOTH DIAPERS! I know can you believe it? I sure can't! I didn't want to say anything to quickly, I wanted to make sure I liked it first!!!!! But I LOVE IT!!! Addison is reacting really well to it! Jonathan is even being supportive!
Some pics for you!!!! This diaper was made by my friend Sara her store is here!
BUBBLE BUTT DIAPERS!





Thanks for stopping by! Enjoy your summmer!!!!! ITS RAINING here!!! LOL!
