Daddy We Love You!

One night as Adell and I were getting ready for bed we decided to get a surprise ready for Kevin.
This was the result.

If you look closely you can see the tiny slobbery lipstick kiss below the U. That is Adell. Just try to imagine how much fun we had making that kiss :)

Cutie Pie

Sometimes Adell is Just too darn Cute!

Especially when Daddy gets her ready for church. :)

Way too cute!

I think some of these pictures really show how happy our little girl is.

We rarely capture it on camera so it is exciting when we do.

Thanks for being such a sweet little girl Adell!

Motivation Atempt

One day Adell and I went out in the back yard to sit in the grass and play. As you can see from the background there isn't much grass to play in. So we took a few pictures to show Kevin how much fun we were having and tell him how much more fun we would have with a yard full of grass instead of one little patch. Nothing like a little guilt to motivate someone right? Ha Ha.

I also had fun trying to take a picture of both of us. As you can see I had great success!!

Fluffy Friends

I was looking at all the great pictures we have of Adell cuddling her stuffed animals and came across this one. Maybe it is the yellow shirt or the way she is grinning but for some reason I see this picture of Adell and think of David. What do you think?

As you can see Adell does lover her fluffy friends. Her little mini mouse ( which I previously showed her clutching), her little lamb ( in the above photo) this teddy bear (below) and any stuffed animal, she loves to hug and snuggle with

You may have also noticed that Adell tends to have a somewhat surprised look on her face in most of the photos we take. That is because I always have to break her away from the intense concentration she has all the time long enough to snap a picture. Sometime that is not easy.

Here I can almost hear her saying "No you can't take my bear. It's mine."

Happy Anniversary!

Yes it is our Anniversary today! April 13th 2011!

(look I actually blogged about something and didn't have to say it took place two months ago!!)

On Monday Adell and I decided to surprise Kevin when he came home from work. This idea came to me at like seven at night so we weren't really in the mood to go shopping for things so we just had fun with what we had.

We grabbed an old cardboard box, some markers,

tissue paper, and finger paints and went to work!

Adell was pretty excited about the whole thing!

She was also very tired by the time we were finished.

See her grabbing her ears? That is her I am so sleepy sign.

You would be tired too if you painted and painted and painted

the side of a cardboard box with your feet!

I tried to have her use a paint brush but that went right in her mouth. I also tried to let her use her hands but she went right for her mouth again. And while these are non toxic paints, I really don't want to clean up purple poop. So I let her paint with her feet. And it turned out so good!

Inside the box we put little things to tell daddy about everything we love doing with him. For example we had a CD to remind him how much we love dancing around the house listening to music. We had a whisk, reminding him how much we love cooking together. We had a jacket to remind him how much we love going on hikes and walks, exploring the world with Kevin, etc.

So when Kevin got home Tuesday morning he had a wonderful surprise!

Happy Anniversary Kevin!

Thanks for being a great husband and father!

WE LOVE YOU!!!!
