January Review...

Tonight I was talking to my mom and she asked what I did today, I said "What didn't I do!" So she said "oh, so you updated your blog." Ummm... thanks mom for calling me out. Now I'm updating! Since its been so long, I'm just going to do a review of what we did in January!

The weekend after New Years we headed up to Mimi's Lake House. Mark and Christopher had decided a while back they wanted to go and planned a weekend without the kids! So.. since we had no kids, it meant that Jaymie, Kory and Kanyon could come too! It was so much. Relaxing, playing nertz, eating and doing a whole lot of nothing. It was wonderful!!

My mom gave Addison this with her Christmas stuff. Its a boa like clip/bow. She loves to wear it! I cracks me up when she goes over to the shelf and tries to put it on herself!

One night she decided to wear her sunglasses! Usually she won't wear them unless she is outside and it's sunny but for some reason she wouldn't take them off this night. Today she kept asking for her glasses while we were in Academy and was trying to dig in her diaper bag to find them. So go MAD when I told her they were not in there, so she took mine!!

She loves to wear Christophers UnderArmor toboggan, unless your from Canada and then it's Christophers tuque! (yeah, I had to look up how to spell that -- I had tooke)

Just an awesome sunrise one morning.

MLK WEEKEND 2009! I'm not sure what girls trip # this is, but it was fun. We went to Paris to Jaymie's parents. We relaxed and Jaymie could be somewhat not a mom so we all had fun!
This is the only picture with everyone that was there!

Gay bought us all pajama pants! We got to pick our own and it turned out that the 750 EN 12th girls all got the same ones!

Addison was trying to be like Christopher and blow bubbles in the water bottle. She had a little trouble. Ended up with the water all over it, but it was fun!

My little ham!!

Last week when it was 75 degrees we went to kidsview park to play. ABC had a lot of fun. I thought this picture was funny, with her glowing hair! My dad always called my little sisters hair a "rats nest," abc's hair is somewhat like hers. Now I guess my little monster also has a rats nest!

I love pictures of her running! She thought she wanted to swing, but the second I put her in one she would try to climb out!

The girl LOVED the slide, especially once I took her shoes off and she could go fast and not get stopped in the middle of the slide. She wouldn't let me take her picture while she was on the slide though. This was the only face she would give me. She's actually been giving me this face a lot lately, I'm not a big fan of it!
This past weekend I went and stayed with my sister in Fort Worth. We had fun... actually I was a little stressed because abc was not being the greatest. Oh well.
This weekend we are going to be reliving the old college glory days,for Chris anyways - I was always beat by those sticking EOX's!! ;o) how are we going to be reliving these great times you ask... well, stay tuned, hopefully we'll have good pictures to come (as long as no one gets hurt!)

More Christmas... and other things...

Now I'll be caught up on blogs...

Addison was so excited about her water baby she thought Chris was taking too long, so she wanted to help!

Trying to give her baby a bath.

"I don't know what to do. How do I wash a baby?"

Playing in her kitchen from Nonna and Grandad. Thanks Honey for the GREAT Christmas pjs.

Riding the horse. It is supposed to be hooked up to a video game. We haven't made it that far, she is just figuring out you have to jump on this horse and not rock.

Helping Grandad. I think that she's going to be like me... a little bit of a Miss Fix It!

After lunch Addison wanted to watch Baby Einstein. I thought Chris and Russ where watching her... this is what I found! Great job guys!!

New Years Eve the Porter's came over for dinner. We decided all the kids needed a bath so they all jumped in. I tried to get a picture of all of them smiling, two out of three's not bad. Then about 5 seconds after this one...

Oops. Well, the crying didn't last long. I like Blake's expression in this picture "What happened?"

Yogurt time! It's so hard to keep her hands out of the cup...
LOVE it when she rubs it all over her face. Can you see how nasty her hands are?

Ummm... if she's laying on the kitchen floor do you think it's time for her morning nap? And yes, we stay in our jammies until after our morning nap!!

Update and Christmas(es) with the Siglers!

Cousin Tara got ABC these pj's for Christmas. WE LOVE THEM! and I love her curls in this picture!

Longview's Santa was a little creepy looking this year. I don't blame ABC for trying to get out of there!

Christopher and I were not sure that we were going to make it to College Station for Christmas. So, the Saturday before they came up to have Christmas with us!

Addison needed Pappy to help her feed her babies with her new bottle from Honey and Pappy!


She also needed a little help from Honey. She would go back and forth between the two of them.
Pappy took her out to play on the trampoline, she LOVES playing on the trampoline.




Love this one since you can see my dad in the middle of playing peek-a-boo!!


Pappy told her "no!" What a sad face... I mean look at that lip. Are we in trouble or what!!! (She was trying to eat a wet leaf off of her slide!)

A little "bop"ing to Little Bunny Foo Foo, her new favorite song!

Watching Baby Einstein on her little DVD player from Christopher's parents. It's suppose to be "indestructible" but when there is no HOLD or LOCK button little fingers can always press stop or pause.

We ended up being able to go to College Station when the rest of my family was there. We went Tuesday and came back on Wednesday. I was so glad! I love seeing my siblings!

While we were there, we got out presents in the mail from my Grandma in Missouri. There were lots of peanuts with the presents so of course we had to play in them!


The playing ABC enjoyed the most was in Mary Beth's truck!

Driving with Rachel.

Giving Haygen some love! Mark named his dog Haygen so he could call her "hay" for short...

We came back quickly from College Station and had our Christmas at our house before heading to Elysian Fields on Christmas day.

Addison got a water baby and a wall aqua doodle from Santa. My sister got her a bubble machine for the bath tub. So... Christmas Eve Addison had some GREAT bath time!!


ABC trying to find her baby in all the bubbles!!
Love these bubbles! Always get stuck on her head and she thinks it's so funny!
