Sea World FUN!

Sea World was great and can't wait to go back, but I am holding out for a little cooler weather. They have a new show called Azul that is absolutley amazing. Best of all, Aunt Gina was able to come along and spend her birthday with us. We took alot of pictures so enjoy.

4th of July

We had a wonderful Fourth of July! Lots of food and fellowship with Aaron's family. Addison had a great time playing with her cousin James. Still did not find the fireworks very amusing but Aaron and I enjoyed them.

First Peach of the Year--YUM!

Addison picked a peach off of Pappy's peach tree in Harper. It had to ripen a few days before she could eat it, and finally she was able to enjoy it the other night. I had to have a bite or two myself.

FIRST Hair Cut!

I know it is hard to believe, but Addison just had her first haircut at almost 3 years of age. Now we all have to remember that she did not even start getting hair until after she turned 1. As much as I worried if she would hold still, she did great!

Can Never Have to Many Pictures!

These pictures really show who Addison is and what she is about! Although I chose other poses of her to purchase, these were still to cute not to share.

Mother's Day

I had a wonderful Mother's Day! Addison still tells me Happy Mother's Day when she wakes up in the morning. It never gets old hearing her say it. The other thing is I am actually driving a clean car. That was my Mother's Day which I had requested. Aaron did a great job! After all, he worked on cleaning the inside and outside for atleast eight hours Sunday.

Blanket of Bluebonnets

We were unable to take pictures in Brenham this year due to the flowers blooming late, but Aaron and I found a great patch located in front of George Bush Library in College Station. I am not sure what is more blue, Addison's eyes or the bluebonnets. Enjoy!

Spring has Sprung!

Spring has sprung or atleast I hope so; it was alittle chilly this past weekend. Addie and I have been enjoying the outdoors and taking in Vitamin D. I also have been keeping my eye out for bluebonnets. On Friday, I am taking her to Brenham to have her picture taken in the bluebonnets. They say this should be the perfect spring for them. We also had some Easter pictures taken. Let me just say that the photographer did not get paid enough to take her pictures that day. I think every picture is an action shot rather than a pose.

It's Snowing!

I am not sure who was more thrilled that it was snowing Addison or myself. I just wanted to make this a memorable moment for her since the last time I remember snow flakes that big was in 1984. Yes, I was three years old at the time. Aaron, of all people, completely missed the snow. When he left home for work Tuesday morning, nothing much was happening, but by 2:30 that afternoon it was snowing. It just so happened that he had a feeder meeting that evening in Beamont and decided to stay in Baytown so when he got home Wednesday afternoon there was no evidence left and the sun was shining. These pictures are my evidence. I do believe a memory was made. Addison is still talking about the snow.

Loving the Country!

We all know how much Addison loves cows, but when she got to Harper and saw the baby lambs she said, "I need one" so we caught her one and took a few pictures. Then, later that afternoon the cows came to the barn so Pappy took her to go look at them. I am just thankful that I still had my camera because I think this picture is priceless.

Addison Lee & Jorie Lynn

This past weekend we went to Fredericksburg for Dustin and Misty's baby shower and after the shower we all went to see the newest addition to the family, Jorie Lynn. While Addison would have rather played with the dogs, Otto & Tilley, she finally decided that she wanted to hold Jorie especially after seeing Mommy do so.

Big Girl Bed

Addison offically has a big girl room. It was sad taking apart the baby bed, but it needed to happen. Despite worrying if she would like it or stay in it, she has done GREAT!

Beauty Rest

Hello 2010!

We had a wonderful Christmas so much so that there is way to many pictures to post. We never know what the new year will bring but I guess we will embrace it with open arms. As for 2009, it was quite eventful for us. Aaron and I reached the benchmark of being married for five years, Addison had an accident at daycare and lost a tooth, I was in and out of the hospital, and I lost both my Oma and Papa seven weeks apart. Anyway you look at it, we are now happy, healthy, and ready to take on 2010!

Polar Express 2009

I wanted to blog about our Polar Express trip that we told a few days prior to Christmas with Grammy, Uncle Rick, Aunt Jane, and cousin James. It was well worth the money and am sure next year will be even more fun for Addie. She had a blast, but still did not quite understand the concept behind the train ride. For someone not so into Santa in the beginning, here it is almost February and she told me the other day that she wanted to go see Santa. Eleven more months and I am sure he will come again.
