Lauren and Colton meet baby Addison

Last night Greg and Jen brought baby Addison over. This was the first time our kids got to meet her. Yesterday morning I mentioned to Lauren that Addison was coming over and she said "Is baby Addy out of Jen's belly?" She was so excited to meet her and kept saying "I wanna hold her!" so this was as close as she got. I'm sure she will be holding her more later on when Addy gets older and the two are best friends but for now Kraig was assisting. :-)

Pure Joy on Lauren's face!

Colton is on the move 24/7 now so we had to basically hold him down to get a picture of all 3 kiddos together! ;-)

Painting Fun

A week or so ago I wanted to paint a Razorback canvas for our house. I knew that Lauren would want to help me so I bought another canvas for her to paint. Here she is helping me with hers.

Love you princess!

And here is my razorback canvas. Sorry it's turned sideways...I have edited the photo and no matter how I turn it on my computer it loads like this?

Just Because...

11 Months Old

Colton 11 months

My baby is 11 months old now! Crazy how fast time flies by! Your personality is really coming out now and when we take things away from you, you let us know you are not happy by making faces, grunt noises and/or start crying. You are walking by holding on to anything...and I mean anything. You will even pull up on a wall like spiderman and just walk while leaning on the wall. You speed crawl which is very cute! You also have started being bashful and really being a mamas boy lately. I'm loving it!!!! You like to snuggle on my shoulder now at bedtime and I'm savoring up the moments trust me! I know how fast they go by now! Just a few more weeks and you will be 1 year old...WOW how fast your first year is going by! Love you bubby!

all business hair at at 11 months and the other at 2 weeks old

my party do at 11 months and then at 2 weeks

sitting outside while Lauren swings

Swinging through the summer...

Oh the fun!

Colton's Teeth

About 2 weeks before Colton turned 10 months old he got his first two teeth! This is later than Lauren as she got her first teeth at 7 months...but they finally came through and he is doing great. I think the top two are starting to come in now too as he is starting to wake up at night again...but I had to capture some photos of his baby teeth. :-) BTW, he is biting on my finger...I'm not forcing him to show his teeth (well ok...maybe a little...but I wanted to get a picture LOL!). He is now almost 11 months old and these are the first pictures I've shot of his teeth so I had to post them.

Whatever My Sister Does...

I have to do too. :-) Lauren was 13 months and Colton is almost 11 months.

3 Monkey's Sale!

My friend Boni (Hannah's mom) told me today that 3 Monkey's in Rogers was having a 75% off sale! I never shop this store because the prices are more expensive than I want to pay...but at 75% off I can afford to buy it knowing that I have saved so much! Lauren LOVES dresses and especially dresses that twirl so I'm thinking I'm going to get bonus points for these! :-)

I got both these Ooh! La, La! Couture outfits for Lauren for $50!

One dress normally retails for $110 and the other for $85!

They didn't have anything for Colton as their boy selection is much less than their girls. Sorry buddy...I'll get you some stuff next time. :-)

Rhea Lana's Success 2010

Tuesday night I my friend Keisha asked me to go to the Rhea Lana's sale with her. I was very happy she asked because #1 I had not seen her much lately and #2, I've been the the RL sale in the past and found great things. Click here to see what I found last September.

Lauren's finds...

2 coats

2 pant outfits

3 dresses (one with tags still on it)

1 pj set

1 jersey shirt

1 pair of brown Stride Rite shoes

I had to get this for Lauren now that we have Colton and he has a Razorback jersey. Lauren LOVES princess stuff and she is 3 years old so I thought this was perfect for her. The photo didn't come out very good but it's pink/purple with pink "princess 03" writing on the back.

This is one of my favorite finds. It's a cute little ruffle shirt with ruffle pants! $6!

Colton's finds...
2 coats
1 Reebok pant set
2 onesies (Gap and Gymboree)
4 pjs (one already being used and not pictured)
4 pair of pants
1 pair of black shoes (in Lauren's photo above)

Gap (with tags still on it) and Gymboree onesies

I got 22 items for a total of $116! That's an average of $5.5 per item! Even better than last years $8 average retail!

Thanks again Keisha for letting me go early with you!
