Birthday guest!

Thanks to everyone who came to Addison's birthday party! It really means alot to me and Nick that you care so much about our family! We really have a wonderful family and friends!

Two of Nick's buddies, Crookham (David) and Chitty (Andy) from the Marine Corps came! What great friends! Abbie came with Dave but I'm not sure how she escaped any pictures! Thanks soooo much for coming guys! David taught Addison how to cheat at Skeetball!

Addy's buddies Tori, Katie, Meg, and their mom and dad (Kimberly and Ian) came! How cute are they playing together!

Addison's Auntie Pat Pat and Auntie Annie also came to celebrate! Auntie Annie brought JJ and Uncle Tony but again...no pictures!

Nick's cousin's kids came, Harley and Autumn! They were a big help with the decorations and with Addy...especially Autumn! Addy just loved her! Harley and Pop were too busy playing!

And how could we forget Addison's favorite sister B!!!

WE MISSED YOU DADDY!!!

Happy 2nd Birthday Addy!!!

Oh what a fun day! Our day started with eggs and rice. Addy ate 4, yes I said 4, eggs! Then Nana and Addy put on their make-up! Isn't she girly?!?!

We celebrated Addison's birthday on Saturday, March 1st at Chuck E. Cheese (Mouse House, as Addy would call it). We had a lot of fun! Addy looked beautiful and she knew it! She loved playing the games and eating piz piz and cupcakes! But I think her favorite thing was stealing the tickets that other kids left in the machines. LOL That's our girl! She was afraid to blow out the candle and kept saying "HOT".

We came home and opened presents. After dinner we let her have the rest of her cake and this time she totally got the blowing out the candle and we had to relight it several times! She also really liked it when everyone was singing Happy Birthday to her and she made all of us, including B and the dogs and 1 cat wear Dora hats!

Addison's First Trip to the Dentist

Addy went to the dentist. The dentist, Dr. Fletcher, just looked in her mouth to get her used to it. She wouldn't sit in the seat by herself. Dr. Fletcher said her gap would not close up on its own and she would have to have surgery to clip it when she was older if she wanted it closed. I really hope she doesn't. I love her gap!!!

SURPRISE!!!

Well we went to pick up Pop from the airport Sunday, Feb. 24 and we got the surprise of a lifetime! As we were leaving Pop said he forgot something and we stopped outside of the airport. I heard Addy say "Nana?" and I looked up and SHE WAS THERE!!!! It was such an AWESOME surprise! I have NEVER had a surprise like that! She is so wonderful and Addison LOVES her. I was so excited!!!

Pop worked on his "list" most days and I am so thankful for EVERYTHING that he did around the house and yard!

Nana was wonderful and we cleaned out the girls closets and got to have "girl time" and went shopping!

I am truely lucky to have married into such a wonderful family! I think of them as my 2nd parents! I love them more than they could imagine!

4 months old!

Our sweet little girl is 4 months old! She's such a blessing! She's a great sleeper! She has a mellow personality and love everyone! She is always smiling and laughing, especially when her sister tickle tickles her and plays with her! Brynnan is a joy to have around!

Our Family!

My friend April is a professional photographer and took a couple pictures while she was here.

What a pretty little girl!! She's such a little ham!
Ok...two out of three looking and smiling isn't bad! Cute clothes huh Nana?!
Of course Kobe had to get in the photo shoot too! She our little model!

Sister Love!

This morning when I went to get Addison out of her room she ran back to bed and yelled "mommy b bed me peeesee" sooooooo this is what we got! How cute are they!?!?!

Toddler fun!

My friend April and her son Cameron came to visit us. We had so much fun! We went to the Wild Animal Park, the kid park, and did alot of playing! April and I talked alot and it was nice to have her here. Addy even let Cameron dress up in her "BO BO" costume. She was the "frock". Brynnan is getting so big. She trys to roll over but hasn't yet. She's pushing up with her legs though. OH...and Addy has decided she likes to poop in the yard like the dogs! She says, "mommy me poop side dog"! What are we going to do with her!?!?

Miss you Daddy!

Your girls miss you Daddy!  We know you are doing good but could you make the time go by a little faster please!  LOL  Addy has a picture of Daddy hanging on her bed and she kisses Daddy before she goes to sleep!  AWWWWW!  She also has a cup that you can put a picture in and she calls it her "Daddy cup".   The military YMCA is making both girls a quilt with pictures on Daddy on them. They should be here in about 2 months!   WLY!

Where is Daddy?

Kobe still is wondering where her daddy is? Everytime she hears a car she runs to the window. Kela'ani is clueless! LOL

The Auntie visit!

Auntie Pat Pat and Auntie Bunny came to visit for 3 days. They were a big help with the girls. I was able to get the brakes fixed on the car, go grocery shopping, take the recycle, take the garbage out, and much more. Plus I had adults to talk to. Addy really had fun!

    As you can see we are potty training.  She has lots of pairs of "big girl" panties thanks to her Mommaw and Nana!  She only wears a diaper for long outings, naps, and bedtime!  Yippee!  She's a riot!

3 months already!

Here's our baby girl, Brynnan. She turned 3 months old recently. She's getting to be so much fun. She's a good sleeper and that helps me out a lot.
