Portraits of the Girls

We recently took advantage of great kids photo shoot promotion. A couple who attends the same church as we do run their own professional photography business (called Arising Images) and they offered a deal for a free "in studio" kids photo shoot for the month of April that we just couldn't pass up! They really do beautiful work (check out their website and blog below) and have won many awards for their work! Here are just a few of the AMAZING photos they got of Olivia and Addisen during our photo shoot! :o)

Happy Easter!!

We really had a fun Easter this year with the girls. Addisen helped me make some Easter/Spring sugar cookies and she also got to color some Easter eggs with her Daddy! This was Olivia's very first Easter season so that was pretty exciting! She got to meet the Easter bunny for the first time! I think she liked him because we actually got a picture of her smiling while sitting on his lap! :o)

Now that Easter has come and gone.....we hope that means that warmer weather is right around the corner! I can't wait for all the trees and flowers to start budding and blooming again! This is my favorite time of year. I think its because its just such a beautiful reminder of how God make all things new! Happy Spring everyone and hope you all had a wonderful and blessed Easter!

Making Cookies

One cup of flour..........

Mixing up the cookie batter!

Making cookies is so much fun!

Coloring Easter Eggs!


All ready to color eggs!!!

Showing little sis how its done! Next year, maybe Olivia will be able to help a little!

See my pretty eggs?

A Visit with the Easter Bunny!

Olivia's first visit with the Easter bunny! I think she liked him! :o)

Addisen "chickened out" this year. She didn't want to go with little sis to see Mr. Easter bunny. She told us "he's kinda scary". Ha Ha...... So as we were leaving, she was looking in the window at the Easter bunny (and the kids who were in there visiting him) saying "I want to go see the Easter bunny." We think she just liked him from a distance! :o) Maybe next year she won't be so afraid of him. (and hopefully Olivia will still like him!)

Beautiful girl! :o)

More Pictures!

Here are some more recent pictures of our little blessings! Sure can't imagine life without them! :o)

Me and my girls! :o) I love 'em both SO much!

I just can't believe how much Olivia has grown already........5 months went by SO fast! Wow!

I made some brownies and Addisen wanted to lick the spoon! :o)

Growing...growing!

Here it is April already and I realized its been a while since I've posted any new pictures of the girls! Can't believe it but Olivia is 5 months now (whoa!) and Addisen will be 3 years old in just 2 short months (May 31st!)! (even bigger 'whoa'!) Having a blast with them both and love 'em both to pieces!!!
