This and That 2016 (mostly)

Alright, alright -- yes, I'm going to try to post pictures a little bit more often.  At this point I'm not sure if I will go back and post pictures from the year when I missed or if I will just move forward from here.  After this post I am caught up from the year 2016 through April 11th.  Some people ask why I have a blog... really it is my version of a scrapbook.  And... since I am not good at keeping the baby books up-to-date, I have been able to go back onto the blog to grab some significant pictures of the kids at different times.  So -- sort answer, the pictures are for my mom to look at :), and me to keep pictures in a central location.  

Feel free to hold me accountable (mom) if I haven't posted for a month.

Have you seen a messier kid?  I think this was a combination of spaghetti, a red sucker, and chocolate cake.  Where is her mother?

Kingsley Pierson girls basketball made it to the state tournament for the first time since 5 on 5 basketball.  Addison had a great game, but the team came up short of the victory.  We were super proud of her and her teammates for a great season!
