Finally... the daffodil farm!

So two weeks ago Jill and I, along with all the kids, went to Gladewater to get ribbon and then to the daffodil farm.

You can see from the pictures below it didn't go so well... The best part... I learned that OnStar is worth every penny that we have been paying the last 2.5 years... Yes, I locked my keys in my car. Jill had the number to OnStar and two minutes later I could get into my car!! Thanks Jill for having the number, thanks OnStar for being so awesome. (side note - I would have been in big trouble it I didn't have it... not only was Christopher 45 minutes away but my spare keys were in the console! oops!)

This is how we started out.

then she picked some flowers (yeah, there was a sign that said not to, but this flower was already wilted so I thought it would be okay!)

Then we finally found the cabin that everyone was talking about. Addison enjoyed running back and forth on the porch!

By far her favorite part was this little bench that I believe it supposed to be on a wagon!

Jill said "say Cheese" - why does she only do this for other people.

Addison has decided this purse is hers (no it's not real) and she insisted on bringing it with her when we got out of the car. Grayson pulled it out from under the stroller and she had to go and get it!

More cheesing for Jill.

I love all her expressions!

So serious... she must get that from her daddy... I'm NEVER serious!

I was taking pictures and this lady offered to take one of me and Addison. I think its one of the best pictures we've taken together! I mean, look at her fantastic face!

This is what made her the most happy... DIRT YAY! We started playing in it when the "flower police" were coming around and wouldn't let anyone get in the flowers.

She decided it was awesome to rub all the dirt in her jeans!

Just a few pictures of all the flowers.

I have always loved pictures of old houses/buildings. I took this one on our way out. I love it!

Christopher and I were tickling Addison the other night and she was cracking us up because she was laughing so hard... Here's a glimpse of the cute face we were laughing at!

Look at those curls... they are getting longer and crazier!

i-heart-faces Week 8

This weeks theme on i-heart-faces is messy...



Obviously I had plenty of spaghetti pictures to choose from, but instead I went for the makeup picture. This was Addison's attempt at putting on eyeliner. I'll give her credit, she got pretty close to her right eye... none on the left eye, eyeliner was in her right hand!

Can't we be done with teeth already???

Well, it's been a long week. Not a lot of pictures taken, can you believe it. I went from Feb. 14 to Feb. 21 without a single picture. Why you ask. Probably because i didn't feel like it... Addison is getting MORE teeth. How many teeth are 18 month olds suppose to have?? Wait... Christopher is currently talking to Craig... 20 baby teeth. When she is 12 or 13 she'll have 32... Why do I want to know... SHE IS WEARING ME OUT. She's been getting teeth since she was 4 months old. It's the same every time -- nasty runny nose, DISGUSTING diapers, slobber, chewing on everything, fever, crankiness, clinginess, not eating, sore throat from all the drainage, etc... So every time she is getting teeth I feel like she's getting sick. I always try disregard the "sick" thought as her getting teeth. But once again I let it get to my head and we took her to the Dr. today. She's been like this for a week. Usually it only lasts 2 or 3 days, but a WEEK... COME ON!! Dr. Neff gave us the all clear! I guess one day when she really does get sick I won't take her to the Dr because I'll just think it was teeth... we'll cross that bridge once all 20 come in. Maybe I need to go wake her up and count so I know how much more of this we have.

These pictures are from a few weeks ago. They crack me up. She was pushing her baby around in the stroller that my little sister had when she was little. She saw a nail file on the floor and parked her baby next to it and started this...


"OOOOoooo, PRETTY" (that's what she hears from me and anyone else that is filing her nails, it keeps her still!!) But really, that's what she was saying!!

Addison came over to me and wanted to "push." She likes to push the buttons and take pictures herself then look at them. I took one for her of her baby in it's stroller. As soon as she saw it she jumped up and went over and stood by it and said "Cheese!" I guess she thought she needed a posed picture with her baby!! What's so funny about this picture to me is that it's like she's leaning on the stroller!!

One day she decided she needed to wear her cowboy hat. Really, she was in her room playing and kept pointing up at it and saying "hat." So I got it down, she had me put it on her then she went in to the living room to ride her horse. Guess she feels like she has to have her hat on to ride her horse, Pappy taught her well!! (Amy, check out the pants!!)

Just a close-up of my sweet cowgirl!!

This past weekend we went to College Station to see my parents! We had an okay time. I was a little stressed since ABC was SUPER cranky most of the time. Except for when she was outside! I felt bad that we were there and she wasn't her normal crazy self, but oh well. My dad rocked her to sleep for both of her naps on Saturday; therefore, Sunday she wanted NOTHING to do with him. My mom had to tell her "I promise Pappy is not going to put you to sleep, if he tries I will get you back. I won't let him put you to sleep, all he wants to do is read you a book." Apparently after that she gave my mom her paci (I guess just in case he tried to put her to sleep) and crawled over into my dad's lap. Oh that girl... she's something...

So since she didn't feel good she wanted to be held A LOT! Honey got to lay with her for a long time for the 2nd part of her morning nap! (This was 1 of te 2 pictures I took the entire weekend.)

That's all I have for now. I think we are going to a daffodil farm this week so be ready for LOTS of cute pictures later!

i heart faces - WONDER

When I heard what the topic was for this weeks photo contest on i-heart-faces I knew extally what picture I was going to use.

I took this picture last March when it snowed. ABC was 5 months old and just learning that she LOVED Chutch, our dog! He had just walked around behind me while I was taking her first real snow pictures! I'm still so glad I could catch this face!!

The many faces of Addison

These first several pictures I took last week within about 20 seconds total. It cracks me up the expressions that she makes... at the end she was getting made because I was not picking her up.

Just a shot at what awesome bed head she has with all that curly hair! I love it!

So Addison decided to put on makeup with me the other day. She always "helps" me when I sit in the floor to put it on, but hadn't figured out that she can put it on her too... until Thursday that is!! I knew she had my eye liner and then I noticed that she was poking it into her eye (or trying anyway!) So then once I realized what she was doing I sat back, watched and laughed! I wished I would have had the video camera close, it was too funny! Yes, she has it on her lips too, I use that same color as a LIGHT lip liner.

Thursday we went over to Papa's house. Addison loved playing in the bark yard... mostly the fountain.

And lastly - my new favorite picture of her. I caught her a little blurry, but I still LOVE IT!

I hope everyone has a GREAT week!

Park!!

Today we met Natalie and Cason at the Park since it was so nice outside! It was fun, we played for 1.5 hours and it was time to leave because I was tired! Chasing her all around was making my soreness come back... really, I'm ready to have my legs back.

Cason wasn't so sure that he wanted to go down the slide so we asked Addison to hold his hand. They both thought it was so funny, and Cason had to give it a thumbs up. Cason is about 2.5 months older than abc.
They really liked holding hands and it was cracking me up!

Cason sticks his tongue out a lot, SOO cute! I guess it's like Chris and Chad in their running / working hard pictures in the flag football blog.

Last time we went to the park abc didn't like the swing... this time she did, so I took a TON to swing pictures!

"Too high Mommy!"

She also LOVES going through the tunnel! Eventually she realized she can walk through it instead of crawl!

Thinking about going down the slide.

Thinking...

This is what happens to her hair when she goes down the slide!
