Valentine's Weekend

Jonathan was fortunate enough to have President's Day off so we went up north to Indian River for the weekend. It was so relaxing...the kind of weekend where you just sit by the fireplace and read a great book for hours! I love going up there in the winter. It's so much quieter and slower paced. We got out, too, though. Jonathan and I went to the casino to eat at their buffet. Oh my goodness, it was so good!!! Luke got to go for his first snowmobile ride with Grandpa and Jonathan and I did a little snowshoeing, too. All in all it was a great weekend! :)

On our date!
There was soooo much good food! Prime rib, sirloin steak, ribs, shrimp, the best fish I've ever had (deep fried polluck), amazing sides, and desserts as far as the eye could see, including a chocolate fountain!!

This is what was left of our dessert plates...

Lukie all ready to go for his first snowmobile ride!

Jonathan and I on our snowshoeing excursion. Burt Lake is frozen over and we hiked down to a pretty spot to check it out.

Six Month Stats

Addison went to the doctor today for her six month check-up. She was 26 1/2 inches long (75th percentile) and 14 pounds 14 ounces (25th percentile). Still long and lean! Her daddy says she's going to be a supermodel! ;)

Addison's Six Month Pics!

I know I'm biased but I just think she is the most beautiful little girl!!!

"No more pictures Mom! Please!!"

Our sweet little Addison is six months old!!! She goes on Monday for her check-up, so we'll post her stats then! :)

Trip to Indiana

A week ago I headed to Indiana to spend some time with my family, just me and the kids! I was a little nervous about taking a four hour trip by myself with two kids but they did awesome!! Addie slept the entire way and Luke had his DVD player so he enjoyed watching Veggie Tales. We left Thursday late morning and stopped in Marion to visit Emily at IWU. She treated us to a late lunch at Wildcat and we got to see her townhouse. Then we headed on to Farmland and stayed there until Monday. We made another pit stop at IWU for lunch at Baldwin on Monday, so it was a nice way to break up the trip for the kids. Here are some pictures of our trip. Oh, and Jonathan enjoyed his relaxing quiet weekend to himself and was even able to get the bathroom repainted! We sure missed him, though!! :)

My brother is going to make a great daddy someday! He's such a good uncle! :)

Auntie Em has the magic touch!

Enjoying a yummy chocolate donut!

He really enjoyed it!

Guess who won this giant teddy bear? Little Miss Addison, that's who!!

We did some shopping at the mall and my dad was kind enough to take Luke to the bookstore where he found this:

He played for an hour and a half straight!!

Friday night we went to a basketball game at my high school. Luke was mesmerized and Addie loved the music the band played!

This is by far my all time favorite picture of Addison and my brother!!

Those are a couple of pretty girls!

Addison and Great-Grandma Clara.

Luke enjoying some Baldwin food!

She's the greatest aunt (and sister) ever!!

This is Addison and my cousin's daughter. Does that make them second cousins?? I think so...
