Halloween

This year for Halloween we went Pirate style! Addy was so excited to be a "pretty pirate", and to have her dad dress up too!!

Me and my Sister had our annual Halloween party. My Mom and Dad won the costume contest for Elmer Fud and the Wabbit. The kids loved having them there, Elmer Fud had a marshmallow gun and chased them all night with it. The Penner's couldn't make it that night, They were missed, But I had to throw their picture in anyways.



We played the mummy game, where you have to wrap your partner from head to toe with a roll of toilet paper as fast as you can. It was harder then we thought, the toilet paper kept ripping. But Me and Kevyn won my a split second!!

Addy's cute friend Talia had a halloween party. They had so much fun and the kids all looked darling in their costumes! Thanks Kelly!

I had to show this pictures! Addy's preschool had a Witches Brew and this is how her darling teacher had the preschool decorated. It was so cute!! She had all the kids come in their Sunday best and the cute little boys escorted the girls to their seats and pulled their chairs out for them. It was hilarious to watch!!

Glowing Jack-O-Lanterns

I love this time of year!! I love the weather, the colors, all the festivities, and all the fun crafts!! This is mine and my sisters latest Halloween craft. All you need is glass jars, tissue paper, modge podge, and christmas lights. They are super easy and super cute!!

Addy's 3 year pictures

Thanks to Andee Mcdonald for taking these great pictures of Addy!! I absolutley love them!! I can't believe how grown up she looks!!

Finally, the last of California

I am finally posting the last part of our trip, which was 2 months ago. Better late than never I guess!! We love Disneyland, Addy especially loved it this year cause her two best friends came with us, Camryn and Kayla.

Here we are riding Pirates. Addy was so excited to go on this ride and kept saying she wasn't scared to go on it because she was "bigger now". The first time we went on it she buried her face inside Kevyn's shirt the whole time. And cried afterwards "I hate Pirates"!! The next day Camryn and Kayla wanted to go on it, so Addy said she wasn't scared anymore and that she liked Pirates again. The whole ride she sat very still and would not move at all. We made it to the end of the ride and I said "Addy you made it you did so good", and then the tears started! Hopefully we haven't ruined her for life!

TOY STORY!! This was Addy's favorite ride!

Just being silly.
My brother Kyle had to make some sort of face in every picture we took!

We got to see tons of characters, which was lots of fun. We did see the Princesses but I forgot to add those pictures to this post and I am not going to add them now , it's to late. And I am sure you all know what the princesses look like!!

Always the FAVORITES!!

More California

The Beach

We spent quite a few days at the beach while we were there. We went to Crystal Cove, which was nice because it was more of a secluded beach, the sand wasn't the greatest but the kids still enjoyed it. Then we hit Huntington beach which was great, tons of people though! We had a great time! The kids loved playing in the sand and building sand castles, the guys had a blast on the body boards and the moms had a great time relaxing and getting some sun!

California

The Condo

We stayed in the Mariott CostaVillas in Newport, they were FABULOUS! I highly recomend them!The view was great and they had tons of stuff to do there!

We had tons of fun just hanging by the pool. The first day Addy had a little bit of a fever and really didn't want to get in the pool but after awhile she was ok.

Addy and her cousins, Kayla and Camryn, loved playing with the lifesize checkers!

Califonia

We just got back from California, and we had an amazing time!! This was the view from our favorite shake shack! They had the most amazing shakes ever! We would sit out on the patio eat our shakes and enjoy the view! Oh how I wish we were still there! More pictures to come.

Happy Easter

Easter morning!! The Easter Bunny brought Addy Princess and the Frog, her new favorite movie!

Later in the day we headed to Grandma and Grandpa's house!! The girls had tons of fun with the egg hunt Grandma did for them. They all got matching dresses and bunnies. Thanks so much Grandma and Grandpa!! And yes we had to paint the faces with robin eggs, which stayed on for a few days!

Happy Happy Birthday!!

For Addy's birthday she asked for a motorcycle and knee pillows(knee pads). We compromised with a scooter instead. I'm not really sure where she got the idea that she wanted a motorcycle, but she was happy with the scooter!

That night we celebrated with the family. We had tons of great food and great desserts. Thanks to all our family for coming and celebrating with us! We love you all very much!

The JOYS of kids!

The other day I was getting ready for work and Addy was watching a movie, so I thought. I went downstairs to get her ready so we could go and this is what I found. Luckily I caught her as she was getting ready to flush! She had stuffed almost a whole roll of toilet paper in the toilet and yes I had to dig it all out!!

I LOVE this Girl!!

Addy loves to dress up and change her outfits a few times a day. These are just a few of her recent outfits. I love how this little girl can constantly make me laugh, and brighten my day! I am so blessed to have her in my life! I don't know what I would do with out her!!

Potty Trained!!

I am happy to say that Addy is potty trained!! It is so nice not to have to change or buy diapers!HOORAY!! I have to say thanks to my sister for potty training her girl first, it made it easier for me cause Addy has to do what ever Kayla does. So thanks Melissa! While we were doing the potty training, Addy always wanted me to come in and go potty with her. One of the times she looks up at me and says "Mom you have a gigantic bum!" Just what a mother wants to hear!!

Christmas,Christmas, and more Christmas!

Christmas morning Addy was such a sunshine!!

Mom was not allowed in the picture, I was told to go away!

She didn't even care that Santa had come she just wanted to go to bed!!

Once she started opening presents she was a little happier!

We truly had a great christmas this year! The best part of all was spending time with our families! We are so blessed to have such wonderful families! We just want to thank all of them for all they have done for us, especially this past week! We love you all!

Uncle Kyle came down and brought these for the girls to make. They enjoyed eating the frosting and candy rather than putting it together. We still had fun!
