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!

Addy is going to be a....

BIG SISTER! Yes, I am having baby #2. We are very excited! I am 10 weeks and due July 3rd. So far this pregnancy has been better than the first I have had no morning sickness!! Although it does suck because I am already gaining weight! Addy is also very excited. She thinks that her and Kevyn both have a baby in their belly also. It is pretty funny to hear her talk about it. I just hope she will do well when the baby is actually here!

Halloween Fun!

Mine and My sister's annual Halloween party. This year I couldn't get Kevyn to dress up. I don't know why he didn't want to dress up as a Winnie the Pooh character:)

The donut on a string game was a hit, we laughed so hard! It really is not very easy and you want to throw up the whole time!

Addy had so much fun picking out our pumpkins! She wanted to bring them all home.

Grandma came down for the day and we took the girls to see the witches at Gardner Village. The had a blast! They got a little scared of the witches.

Summer Highlights

It has been to long since I last posted some pictures! Things are finally starting to settle down a little and we have our computer situation figured out. It has been a very busy summer, but we have had lots of fun! I just can't believe it is over! I have to say,though, I am very excited for fall!! Here are just a few of things we have been doing this summer.

This past weekend we went up to Peach Days. Grandma bought all the girls a wond and I found this cowgirl hat for Addy. She is obsessed with cowboy hats(everything is a cowboy hat) I am not sure where this obsession came from.

We have gone on a few camping trips. Here we are at Mill Hollow, one of our favorites. We went up over Kevyn's birthday with his parents. Addy always has a good time with Grandma and Papa!

Here we are at classic water park. We got season passes so we went every week. All Addy talks about is going to the "baby waterslides with Kaya"(kayla).

Addy jumping on her "gump". This saved my life while we were trying to pack! Addy would spend hours out on the tramp!



Every year we got up to Island Park with my family. This year we took the little ones horse back riding. Addy loved it at first, then she started freaking out so daddy had to get on with her. She still didn't like it until Lucy, the horse, started sneezing. She then thought it was hilarious.
