I had so much fun watching Adde in Grandma's yard playing with the water. It was a fight to get her to come inside when it was getting to cold outside.

So Auntie Kelli was giving a massage to a guy down stairs and while she was doing that, Adde decided to steal his boots. I thought it was pretty cute because she could barely walk in them.
She was always into the fridge and could take out pretty much whatever she wanted. Everyone in the house was so tired of having to guard the fridge about every second of the day.
Grandma was mowing the lawn and I got this cute pic of her looking out the window.

One of Addelyn's new passions is riding with her Papa on his motorcycle. I love this pic with Isaac and Kaedn.

I was so glad that Kim and Isaac were able to come and spend a week in Okanogan while we were there. We had so much fun just hanging out and going to Walmart about 10 times a day.

Adde couldn't get enough of her Papa!
Adde was always trying to give Isaac his pacifier or feed him gold fish. Kim and I always had to watch her to make sure she wasn't trying to feed him. She actually got a gold fish cracker in his mouth one time. Scared Kim and I to death. We now look back on that and laugh. Good thing we were right there.

Washington Up-date!

Hey Everyone,
Just letting everyone know we made it to Washington in one piece. We actually made it in under 48 hrs. Crazy stuff. Adde was my little angel the whole way, at least in the car, 23 hr drive!!! Thanks to Bryan and Esther we at least got a couple hours of sleep. Adde was just to excited to see her Uncle Bry to sleep, so I thought what the heck...I'll just leave know since I'm not sleeping anyway. That was at 12:30 am. We finally got to Okanogan at about 2:30 pm. It was perfect timing.
Well now it's been a little over a week and we are having so much burning the candle at both ends. Adde has been very busy getting into everything possible at Grandma and Grandpa's house. All in all we're having a blast so far. We can't wait to see the rest of you soon!

Getting ready for our big trip to Washington!

Washington here we come!

As many of you know Adde and I will be going to Washington for a month or so. I Don't really have a set time when we'll be returning since I have a break from school. We're really excited to see Grandma, Papa, Aunts, Uncles, Cousins, and many friends. I can't wait to see all the green again since we don't get much of that here in Arizona. We're planning on doing many things on our visit and are excited to see everyone. Especially to get a break from the heat. I will definitely post pics of our trip when I get the chance. Can't wait to see all of you soon!

NEW FAVORITE MOVIE!

Okay I have a new favorite movie, as you can see it's "Mama Mia". My Mom and I went and saw it last Friday and I loved it so much I would like to go see it again before it's out of theatre. For those of you that love musicals this movie is for you.

Mommy and Adde Day!

Even though I'm sad that Dave's out of town for work, I was so excited to have a Mommy and Adde day! We got to do some really fun stuff today and we are both worn out. These are pictures that I took at the West Gate splashing area. We had to cool off for a bit. I thought I was going to die I was so hot. Adde had lots of fun in the water. She didn't want to leave. All in all it was a great day!

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!

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!
