Happy Valentine's Day

Here's lookin' at you! Today, we attempted to make these. I made a peanut butter sheet cake for the hearts and chocolate cake for the cupcake. They were a visual fail as the hearts floated up to the top but to the palate they were a super success. Addison enjoyed some of the peanut butter cake along the way.
And then we made edible play dough.

It was a pretty good Valentine's Day. It could have only been better if Ryan was home with us too...maybe next year!

This picture belongs at the bottom of the post.

This is not a good way to start your day. Addison has mastered getting down from couches and chairs. Apparently her tactics do not yet work when trying to get off a bed.

Ryan has been off in Virginia at a buoy school for the last week. The base has an internet cafe where he can Skype from. So the last few nights we have been Skyping. Tonight, Addison opened her Valentine's present with her Dad on the computer.

We tried on one of Dad's shirts while folding the laundry.

I decided to make a smoothie today first, because Addison is beginning another cold and I thought the fresh OJ would help her and second, I thought she might enjoy putting the ingredients in the blender. She was a great help. Grab the ice, check.

Put the ice in the blender, check.

Grab a strawberry, check. Place it in my mouth, check. That is she was a great help until she got to the strawberries, which promptly when into her mouth instead of the blender.

After 14 months I finally got the timing right! Addison's poop face. While she does grimace awful I am very grateful that she no longer makes grunting noises while the "work" is in progress. You can hide a grimace behind any public restroom door but the grunting, not so much.

She isn't walking unassisted but she is getting there. She finally got the hand of moving along with this little push car.Making Valentines.

I came into the TV room to find her and this is what I happened upon. She had reached the camera bag, pulled out the manual and was flipping through it like she knew what she was doing.

Again, this kids got awesome morning hair. Ryan said it looked like Whoo hair.

There's a new little fact about Green Bay that I'm not sure you know about. They have a football team and that team just won a little contest called the Super Bowl.

Needless, to say it was a big deal around here. We invited people over and had a party because we didn't want to be the only ones in the state not holding a party.

The girls weren't too impressed.
