We've been busy

I know I haven't been very good about posting lately, but things have been a little hectic. Also, part of the reason I post is to get my pictures up and right now my connection to get the pictures on the computer is messed up. I will have a ton of pictures and videos to post once I get to the store to buy a new connector!

We had a great weekend this past weekend! We had a fun family dinner Friday night, followed by our weekly slumber party! I love the mornings after slumber parties because Trinity and Emory always sleep late! I actually got to sleep until about 7:30 and it was wonderful! On Saturday we had a lot of great family time. Greg had to work for a little while in the morning (he didn't get to be #2 by sitting around doing nothing), and after that he was all about playing with the girls! Trinity and Emory played so well together all day, they didn't even WANT to watch TV or a movie, I don't think that has EVER happened! They even ate lunch together, just the two of them! It was so great to see the two of them so happy together! Saturday night we went to the North Texas Basketball game with Greg's brother and his family. The girls had a great time eating dinner and playing with their cousin! They were all so silly together! We had a great time at the game, until the last two minutes of the fourth quarter when Emory started throwing up on the seat in front of us (thank goodness the whole row was empty) and Aiden's nose started bleeding! Crazy! They are both fine now! On Sunday Greg stayed home with the little two and Trinity and I got to go to church, jut the two of us. After scarffing down a quick lunch Trinity and I were off to a birthday party. She had a great time doing ballet with all her friends! Even the boys had special parts during the ballet party and really seemed to enjoy themselves! We had a wonderful weekend!

Yesterday with the temperatures near 80 degrees (hello, it's February!) I took the two little ones on a field trip to the zoo and we all had a great time! Addison was really excited about seeing all the animals and hearing their different sounds! She posed for quite a few pictures too. Emory was pretty funny, she was really scared of the gorillas, tigers, lions and the crocidiles and didn't really want to sit to watch any of the animals, just wanted to see them and keep moving. I think we were the first visitors in the zoo for the day so we had most of the exhibits to ourselves. Emory got to sit face-to-face with some of the monkeys, only a pain of glass seperating her from sitting in their laps! The penguins swam up to the glass to play with the girls and we got to watch them eat their breakfast. The little monkeys put on a great show for us and were vocal about being upset because we left. After picking Trinity up from school yesterday we went to the zoo and played for nearly two hours! Addison loved sitting in and playing in the sand and trying to climb the slides. I think I'm the only one who was worn out after all that fun, I slept really well last night!!!!!

Now, on a completely seperate note, Emory seems to be completely potty trained! She hasnt had any accidents at all since last Tuesday...that's a whole week! Of course she's having a hard time going #2 (which is why she got sick Saturday night), but she'll get there!

AND...Addison has taken two steps by herself! She is by no means a walker, and I'm not in any rush to get her there, but she is definitelly making great strides! She is talking up a storm too! She seriously talks NON-STOP! Of course we can't understand much of what she says, but she sure does have a lot of it to say! You can tell she's speaking in sentences and usually tell when the sentence is over and she's starting a new one. She is so much like Trinity with her language developement!

Trinity is reading really well! She is able to sound out almost any word put in-front of her!
We're so proud of all three of our girls and how well they're growing!

Oh, and HAPPY FAT TUESDAY!!!!!
