Happy Late Birthday Papa!

Adde's Papa had a birthday on June 23rd. She misses him and wishes she could give him a big birthday kiss. We love you lots and hope you had the best birthday ever!

STORY TIME!
Yes we did it! We finally got rid of the pacifier for good. Yesterday I was at Jess's house. I cut it and gave it back to her. She looked at it, tried putting it back in her mouth, then looked at me like, "Mom what the heck is going on?" We kind of laughed and had her throw it away. She did pretty good on the way home. She cried just a bit. Then the night came and it was time for bed. Boy, was she mad. All through the night she kept waking up wanting her pacifier but I didn't give in. I just sat there with her and said, "Mommy is so sorry you have to go through this, but it's for your own good." While I sat rubbing her head I almost started crying thinking to myself if I could take her place I would go through this for her. But I know it's a part of growing up. The morning finally came. When she woke up I made a huge deal about it and told her I was so proud of her. She beamed with joy as Daddy and I gave her lots of loves. We are so grateful to be her parents. She teaches us everyday. She really has the biggest heart when it comes down to it. We love you Adde Mae and are so proud of you!

Bubbles & Bubbles!

These cute pictures are of Adde playing in the bath with lots of bubbles. As you can tell she's wearing her swimsuit. She didn't want to take it off. She loves wearing it! Mommy had so much fun watching her play. Bubbles Rock!

Summer is Here!

4th of July is coming!

OK, so I can't believe 4th of July is coming up so quickly again! These pictures were taken last year. I think the one with Dave and Adde is breath taking. It's not very often you can get a beautiful moment like this. I love this holiday! It reminds me to be grateful for the freedom I have and what a wonderful country we live in!
