Pancake Mania!

Mmmmm mmmm Good! The many faces of a great morning full of Chocolate Chip Pancakes!

Look at those pearly whites!

Did you know Dinosaurs eat pancakes too?

Yep and monkeys too!

ohh eee ahhhh ahhhh!!!!

Even though Reese can't enjoy the pancakes yet... she was in good spirits!

So until next time... Addison tell Daddy to keep whipping up those great breakfast treats and

 us girls ....

will take care of the rest!!

Mmmm... Good :)

We are in Trouble!

Addison Marie at 22 months woke up cheerfully saying "Mommy, Mommy" and as I scooped her up she was saying and pointing to something. Mmm.. what could it be. Normally her first words are Mommy followed by her other favorite thing, Barney! But this time it sounded more like "ssssssss"As we got closer to her closet I slowly was able to understand what she was saying. No, could it be... "dress"?!? Yep sure was. At 6:00 in the morning she had one thing in mind. Putting on a pink tutu dress. We are definitely in trouble!!!

Working Mama!

If only the girls could come to work with me! It would make things so much easier :) I wouldn't spend every minute thinking and missing them. But for now work starts when Addie goes to sleep and Reese is content in her bumbo! Things take twice as long with baby Reese-ee...but this Mommy's girl rather sleep in my arms then her bassinet! Ohh well - I can't complain I prefer it too!! Night night Reese-ee thanks for keeping me company and sweet dreams Addison! xooxox

Rice Rice Baby!

 The big day! For Addie I waited until 6 months to introduce Rice Cereal. Reese, however, has been going through a HUGE growth spurt and eating and eating a ton! So at her four month check up her doctor convinced me to give it a try. And we did and that beauitful smile that we see each day, quickly went away and we were left with this.....

After a quick more "natural" feeding, if you know what I mean, she was back in high spirits and ready to try again. Giggles and smiles aside this monkey enjoyed her second helping of rice cereal a little more than the first. We may wait a little longer to make it part of our day but it was fun to try! 

Wind-eeee Walk!

Its no secret that the Jones girls love to walk and love to play at the park. But living in Anaheim Hills has its problems, and one big one is... The HILL part!! Any way we choose to go there is a hill to climb and they aren't small. Well we learned another very important lesson today. On days that the trees look like this....

Don't go for a walk to the park on top of the hill! Luckily I have to super girls who braved the wind and were ready to attack the killer hill with a smile. Personally I think Reese didn't mind the wind and was just very excited to now face the world! How big does she look now?!? 

And Addie was in hand holding heaven with her little sister now so close!

When we finally arrived to the park it was business as usual. Addison was on the swings, going on the slides, running on the equipment, and climbing up the ladders for what seemed like hours. Here she is sporting her new "boo boo" on her knee. But not even this small mishap could stop my little ball of energy from enjoying herself. 

Reese on the other hand was quite content in the stroller while Addie played and Mommy chased after her. In not to long I will really have my hands full with both of them playing! Yikes!

 Although the ride home felt like I was pushing two grown men because I was going against the wind it was all worth it to spend the afternoon at the park with my girls! With an ending like this we know we had a good time! And yes that is Dr. Squeaks cuddled with Reese to remind us of Daddy!

Until next time...

Seeing Double

Thanks to my best friends mom, Cathy, the girls are styling in their matching juicy outfits. If only they made these in adult sizes, you know I would have one too.

Addison can't get enough of holding hands with her sister. It maybe her favorite thing to do with Reese right now. She just needs to be reminded to be gentle (and no biting)...

Love this big smile on Reese's face - its hard to find a picture without this little toothless grin.  

However there is always one that reminds me of her serious face, the "Kevin face"

This one is a little more like her Mommy and her being a little sassy, who knew?!?

Just can't get enough of these two! 

Seeing Double is not that bad... not bad at all! 

2 of a Kind

These two are growing closer by the minute! Reese is doing more these days and now is well aware of her sisters touches, smiles, grabs, and of course pulls. Its two for one bath time, nap time, eating, and play! If only it worked out that perfectly each day! Here are my two little wild, but clean animals!

4 Months Strong!

It seems only fitting that Reese choose today, her 4 month birthday, to roll over for the first time! 

4 months never looked so good! 

Its on!!

Addison and Reese got their paint on, literally, and made some beautiful art!

Addison wasn't to sure about the paint on her hands. These days she rather use a brush!

So a brush it is... 

Or two!

We also tried some sponge painting!

Simply beautiful Addie ... to bad she was a little shy to show off her great big talent!

Its ok.... maybe next time you will want to share. 

We understand - a true artist can not be rushed! 

Happy Baptism Day!

With family and friends we celebrated the baptism of our baby girl Reese on Sunday, January 9, 2010.  There are so many special moments in life and this was one of them for our little family. Each and every day Kevin and I are so thankful for the blessing of our children and give thanks to God for all that he has done.

Our very happy and joyful daughter!

Ready for a Big Day!

 The service was very beautiful. Reese was very well behaved, her Big Sister on the other hand was pretty "busy." By the end of the service everyone could recognize her great big belly laugh from the back of the church.  Luckily she is awfully cute and can get away with it at her age. We learned quickly not to try to take her sippy cup or snacks at any point before, during, or after the ceremony. For some reason she chose this day to be super attached to all her goodies! 

The following pictures were taken mostly by my brother Billy and G (thank you so much you guys) They captured some pretty great moments that our family will always treasure.

One of my favorites....

Enjoying some cuddle time with Grandma Jones!

Outside the church we celebrated more with coffee, cake, and lots of pictures! 

Looks like Barney even made the family photos!

A little love from Grandma O

and Auntie Magee :)

After the service we had everyone over at our house for lunch. It was nice to relax, watch football, hold babies, and spend time together! 

The day was perfect ! 

Addie sure can't get enough of her Baby Sis

and either can We!! 

Reese you bring us so much Joy, we love you very much! We know that God has so much in store for you in your life and look forward to all of the many new things to come! You are a very sweet baby with such a gentle spirit! Happy Baptism Day - xoxoxo
