Adrianna's perspective

Adrianna shot some pictures around the house the other day (just over 100 and some). It was cute to get a glimpse of her perspective. Here are a few of the ones that were in pretty good focus.

Soccer with Tios

Saturday, April 19th, 2008

We went up to Littleton for a gathering with my family. Adrianna got all dressed up to show off her soccer talent! She had a blast playing with her uncles, though I think the most fun was going after her uncle rather than the ball.

"Your love is better than ice cream"

The other day I made the mistake of letting Alicia have a few licks of my ice cream cone. She is now addicted to ice cream! Now, when she sees the cones she starts clamoring for them. Eating ice cream for Alicia is a whole body experience. I think we spent more time cleaning her up here than she did eating.

More Soccer

Adrianna does pretty well playing Soccer, she has kicked the ball several times during the games and she is so proud when she does that she usually forgets to keep on going. I have an absolute blast with the kids, they have so much energy and it is just amazing to see how much fun they are having.

Friendship

February

Some good friends of ours recently moved from Colorado Springs to Albuquerque :-(. Though we regret not having them as close we have been able to stay in touch and enjoy a couple visits from Tracey :-). What is most impressive to me is how well Adrianna remembers her good friends Ashy and Ty. She is always asking about them and about when we can go to Albuquerque to visit (and yes she can say "Al-bu-quer-que").  We had her talk to her friend Ashy to wish her a happy birthday, and Sarah took pictures, it was a lot of fun to hear and watch her chatting with her friend.

Hair Cut Incident

March 29th, 2008

Adrianna decided it was time to take a little off the top. During her nap she sneaked into our closet where she found some scissors and started cutting. Luckily she didn't cut it all off but Mommy and I were both devastated that she chopped her beautiful hair. As you can see here she took a good chunk out of her bangs, and she thinned her left side pretty well. She also took a chunk out of the back, but it is mostly hidden. I guess most girls either cut their own hair at some point or their siblings hair, so after the horror stories we have heard we are just glad she didn't give herself a buzz, or worse give her sister one!

Demolition, Woo Hoo!

As part of our re-flooring effort in the new house we decided to remove a half wall that was in between our dining room and family room. Adrianna really wants to help with every project I work on and she was a great spectator for this one. As I knocked out the final piece of drywall Adrianna cheered with a loud woo hoo to see the wall come down. Destruction is so much fun! We are now in the process of laying the floor in the family room and kitchen. I want to thank everyone who has helped me in the project. I couldn't do it without you; and I am always seeking volunteers to help.

Happy Birthday Mommy!!!

Cousin Kai

March 30th, 2008

Judtih & Kai came over for dinner the other day. He is about 6 months old, and he is a big boy, he is about the same size as Alicia, and he has 4 big chomper front teeth that he proudly showed off. Adrianna had been asking when she could see her cousin Kai, so we invited them over now that Judith has moved back to the Springs. Thanks for the visit, we love seeing the little ones grow up.

First Soccer Match

We played our first soccer match yesterday, and it was a huge success!! The kids braved the frigid temperatures and had a great time. I was amazed at how everything seemed to click for them once we had a lined field, uniforms, and a referee. I had a great time running around and cheering everyone on. I have to say everyone including Adrianna gave it their best effort and played hard even when it started to get dark. I am looking forward to more games, and everyone is welcome to come watch us play! Give us a call for the details.
