Fun Pictures

The following are some random pictures that I think are fun. Hope you enjoy!


Last week one night when Scott picked up Addy she was all dressed up and refused to change before coming home. When I went out to get her this was what she was wearing. If you look closely you can see under the pumpkin outfit she has a ballerina dress on too! So cute!


Brandy caught a few shots are her house. This one is great - Addy found the "good stuff".


Apparently when Brandy was changing Addy, Gavin wanted to join in and so the pair ran around in their "diappies".


This is one of my favorite shots. Addy and Gavin on their way to superhero training camp!


In the last few days Little has been taking out her bibs and putting them on and today she decided to shove all of the under her chin and run around the house.


And Addy loves phones! She loves to pick them up (real, fake, cell) and says "hi ya" really loud. She'll run around and carry on quite the conversation. Sometimes she gets even more then one phone going.

That is all for now. Have a safe New Years Eve!

Christmas 2007

Here are some highlights from the last week. Christmas was magical and we loved sharing these special days with so many of you.

We started last Friday with a trip to Zoo Lights with the Price's and Pelton's. Addy had a bit of a melt down, but I guess that is the new normal when you have a toddler. Here is the best family photo we could get:


Addy and Savannah riding the horses:

The group:

On Saturday we had the Pelton's over so we could exchange gifts.


Jeff gave Scott a very special gift. Jeff created a little "Seahawk Support Package". Being a Cowboys fan, he seems to think us Seahawk fans need help. Yeah, right!


The gift included a blind fold, kleenex and cowboy blue anti-depressant pills:



Brandy and I helped Gracie and Gavin make gingerbread people. We ran out of the candy in the "kit" so I improvised with left over halloween candy like Nerds and Whoppers.


Look closer at Gavin's gingerbread man . . . interesting, huh? (We about died laughing.)


Then it was on to more presents and fun on Christmas Eve and Christmas Morning.

Addy hanging out with Grandpa T on Christmas Eve. And later she gets a ride with Daddy to check out the tree.

Addy's personal lottery tree. (Every year my Dad makes a lottery ticket tree and we scratch tickets all day.) He made a little one just for Addy.

And the big hit of Christmas . . . the box!


We even had a white Christmas, with beautiful snow in the evening. It was truly amazing. Looking forward to a wonderful New Year in 2008!

Psst . . . Its Addy!

Mom isn't the only one that can blog! Check out what I've been up to lately . . .

Mom did some decorating for Christmas and I stole this handy-dandy basket. I love to fill it with things and carry it around the house. Sometimes I can use it to push Daisy and Cinnamon around.


On Saturday we went out with some friends to a Japanese steakhouse. We had so much fun!


My friend Savannah was a little unsure of the big flames, but I thought they were great.


Our chef was very funny!


Look at me wearing a dress! Now that I can walk Mommy lets me wear dresses. I like to pull it up and spit on it and then run around and laugh.


Guess what I had to do on Sunday? Get all dressed up and take some Christmas photos. I gave Mom and Dad and Grandma and Grandpa T. a run for their money. I ran all around the house while they were trying to dress me.


Here is a sneak peek of my Christmas dress. (Mommy will post the real pictures soon.)


And finally I want to leave you with a few words of wisdom. I know all you adults get excited about what comes in a Victoria's Secret bag, but let me tell you the bag itself is pretty fun all by itself. Don't just take my word for it, check it out:


It is a real trip (literally) to put the bag over my head and run around the house. I love it.

See you later alligators!!

Lights Spectacular

Last night our neighborhood held the first annual Christmas Lights Competition. It was so much fun. They hired a trolley (an old fashioned one, decked out in Christmas cheer with carols playing) to take us all around the neighborhood and look at the lights. Then everyone voted on the best house lights. The neighborhood really went all out - it is spectacular!! If you live in the area you really should drive out one night.

Addy loved the lights, she would wave to them as we went by. She did not care as much for Santa. :)

Here is Addy all bundled up and ready to go:




Walking over to the trolley:

Riding on the trolley with Daddy:


Screaming in fear at standing next to Santa. I don't think we'll be getting a picture in Santa's lap this year.

The family:




Come by and check out the lights!

Then and Now

Addy has all of a sudden started getting her bumbo chair back out and she loves to climb in it and back out of it. (When her big bum doesn't get stuck.)

She was sitting in it a couple of nights ago and it reminded me so much of a picture from a lot of months ago.


Then . . .


Now . . .


Time flies by!

Let it Snow

So, it didn't snow long, or stick much but Addy got to try out her new winter coat that Grandma T. found for her.

Pretty cute:




She loved the snow flakes and kept running around in the grass and throwing herself down.


Here you can see the Christmas lights in the background:



Let it snow, let it snow, let it snow.
