Silly Addy

Addy finally taking an interest in reading, well kind of . . .


Here is Addy helping Mommy with muffins. One of my resolutions this year is that 2008 is the year of the baker! So, this weekend I made old fashioned spiced applesauce muffins. Addy was a big help. And Cinnamon was right there too in case Addy couldn't assist with the taste testing.


And Little in her super cape!


This morning Daddy entertained Little during breakfast.


She loved it!


Okay, maybe not. :) (Actually she does enjoy the guitar, she claps and dances.)



And then tonight it was all about emptying the dog toy box and having some fun with it. She liked to stand in it and dance.





Have a great week!

Pigtails, messes and fun!

Seems like already there has been lots going to since the new year started. New years resolutions to follow, new toys to play with and messes to make!

Here is Addy finding a new way to play with her kitchen. I was doing something in the kitchen and all of a sudden I see her head pop up over the counter. She was able to get herself down too! So, now when anyone comes over she'll show them her new trick.


Addy making a mess with dinner (yup, that is ham in her hair).


Addy making a mess of the kitchen with the Costco sized box of garbage bags.


Here is Addy checking herself out with her first ever pig tails. She was so excited. She kept looking in the mirror and laughing. She ate dinner with them in and didn't even try to pull them out. She was so darling! I took a hundred pictures.


Helping Mommy make cookies:


I was cleaning Addy's closet out and Little decided she had to wear her sunglasses for about the next hour. She was feeling very cool!


Addy in her new outfit with Daddy!


Addy with her new backpack. She will wear it around for hours while she is playing.



Have a great week!

Its a Beautiful BLUE Day Here!!!

That is right ladies and gentlemen the boys in blue are looking tough! (Please don't let me jinx them.) We were having a great time cheering them on.





GO SEAHAWKS!!!!

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.

The family on Christmas morning:



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!
